Simple Viewer opens files. Quietly, quickly, and without asking for anything in return. Share any file from any app — Mail, Messages, Files, a browser, a cloud drive — and Simple Viewer renders it the way it was meant to be read. No account. No upload. Files stay on your device. It is designed for the moment when you just need to see what's inside a file. RENDERED WITH CARE • PDF with smooth scrolling and pinch-to-zoom • Markdown with typography that reads • Source code with precise syntax highlighting • JSON, XML, and YAML, pretty-printed • CSV and TSV, as readable tables • Excel spreadsheets (XLSX) • Word documents (DOCX) • ZIP archives, browsed inside • Plain text, logs, and scripts • x509 certificates BUILT FOR iPHONE AND iPAD • Open from any app via the iOS share sheet • Recent files, one tap away • Orientation-aware on iPad • Works offline. Always. NOTHING YOU DON'T NEED No sign-up. No subscription. No ads. No tracking. No cloud sync. No bloat. Just a clean surface for reading what you already have. Because simple is elegant.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Simple Viewer at none against NFC Pro Tools's 3. Simple Viewer also leads on ads (none vs shown). NFC Pro Tools's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
