Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. MagLoft sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. FutureFolio Viewer asks for nothing beyond the download.
FutureFolio Viewer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MagLoft has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of FutureFolio Viewer's written reviews are positive against 67% of MagLoft's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FutureFolio Viewer ships an update every 2 months, MagLoft every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 21, 2026 and August 19, 2026 respectively.
