Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: UTM SE at 55% against WiTV Viewer's 13%. UTM SE also leads on ratings volume (560 vs 5) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 13 months). WiTV Viewer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (4.0 vs 3.8). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

WiTV Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UTM SE has 560 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of WiTV Viewer's written reviews are positive against 55% of UTM SE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WiTV Viewer ships an update every 13 months, UTM SE every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
