SmartCam View holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartCam View has 72 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of CamView Mobile's written reviews are positive against 63% of SmartCam View's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CamView Mobile ships an update every 2 months, SmartCam View every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
