Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Any at 4.4 against File Viewer's 3.4. Any also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 months) and ratings volume (153 vs 5). File Viewer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Any sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month. File Viewer asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Any holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Any has 153 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of File Viewer's written reviews are positive against 25% of Any's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

File Viewer ships an update every 6 months, Any every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on July 22, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
