# 多看 vs Summit Reader

The clearest difference is ads: 多看 at none against Summit Reader's shown. 多看 also leads on ratings volume (65K vs 1.3K) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 多看 sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Summit Reader sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for 多看 against 4.8 for Summit Reader. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 多看 has 65K ratings behind it against 1.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of 多看's written reviews are positive against 86% of Summit Reader's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
