Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: MyPreSonus at 3.3 against Avid Control's 2.7. MyPreSonus also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). Avid Control's advantage is review sentiment (34% vs 7%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

MyPreSonus holds the better App Store score, 3.3 against 2.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 70 and 39 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Avid Control's written reviews are positive against 7% of MyPreSonus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Avid Control ships an update every 3 months, MyPreSonus every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on September 22, 2026.
