It is a lightweight workspace with built-in WebDAV Browser, Web Browser, Feed View, Video Player, Music Player, Image Viewer, Text Editor, Markdown Reader, Bookmarks, and more.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AppSaver at 5.0 against Zwind's 3.6. AppSaver also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 5 days). Zwind's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zwind sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and AppSaver sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AppSaver holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zwind has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Zwind's written reviews are positive against 73% of AppSaver's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Zwind ships an update every 5 days, AppSaver daily. The most recent releases landed on October 8, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
