ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Marshall Connect Device holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Marshall Gateway has 33 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Marshall Gateway's written reviews are positive against 0% of Marshall Connect Device's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Marshall Gateway ships an update every 3 months, Marshall Connect Device every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
