Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Wireless Audio at 4.3 against JVC Remote S's 2.7. Wireless Audio also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 15). JVC Remote S's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 20%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 12.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wireless Audio holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wireless Audio has 3.3K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Wireless Audio's written reviews are positive against 40% of JVC Remote S's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
