ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Document Manager holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Document Manager has 38 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Mach Write's written reviews are positive against 0% of Document Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mach Write ships an update every 10 months, Document Manager every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
