Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dig a Pig at 94% against Wiley Reader's 48%. Dig a Pig also leads on chart position (#171 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). Wiley Reader's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 23 months). On ads, in-app purchases 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
Wiley Reader is free to download; Dig a Pig costs $0.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Wiley Reader holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wiley Reader has 1.1K ratings behind it against 37, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 94% of Dig a Pig's written reviews are positive against 48% of Wiley Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dig a Pig ships an update every 23 months, Wiley Reader every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
