ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Remote Desktop Manager holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Desktop Manager has 102 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of SSH Shortcuts's written reviews are positive against 58% of Remote Desktop Manager's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
