ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AutomationBT holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyDolphin Plus has 8.9K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of AutomationBT's written reviews are positive against 19% of MyDolphin Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AutomationBT ships an update every 3 months, MyDolphin Plus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
