ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

HTML Viewer Q holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: HTML Viewer Q has 2.7K ratings behind it against 45, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of HTML Viewer Q's written reviews are positive against 47% of HTML Viewer Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

HTML Viewer Q ships an update every 4 months, HTML Viewer Pro every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
