ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Foxit PDF Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Foxit PDF Editor has 4.8K ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of Save2PDF for iPhone's written reviews are positive against 68% of Foxit PDF Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Save2PDF for iPhone ships an update every 4 months, Foxit PDF Editor monthly. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
