Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Exif Viewer at 3.0 against Light Magick's 1.0. Exif Viewer also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Light Magick's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (50% vs 29%). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
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. Light Magick sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Exif Viewer asks for nothing beyond the download.
Exif Viewer holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Exif Viewer has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of Exif Viewer's written reviews are positive against 50% of Light Magick's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Exif Viewer ships an update every 3 months, Light Magick every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
