# .md Viewer vs Quick Markdown Viewer

The clearest difference is review sentiment: .md Viewer at 100% against Quick Markdown Viewer's 50%. .md Viewer also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). Quick Markdown Viewer's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Quick Markdown Viewer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: .md Viewer has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of .md Viewer's written reviews are positive against 50% of Quick Markdown Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

.md Viewer ships an update weekly, Quick Markdown Viewer every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 4, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
