Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Navigate eReader holds the better App Store score, 1.5 against 1.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 44 and 43 respectively.

Fisdap ships an update every 3 months, Navigate eReader every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
