ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QuickEditor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zource has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Zource's written reviews are positive against 13% of QuickEditor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Zource ships an update every 3 months, QuickEditor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 4, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
