Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iRV Technologies Remote at 2.1 against BMPRO Connect's 1.7. iRV Technologies Remote also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and ratings volume (59 vs 9). BMPRO Connect's advantage is update cadence (every 6 months vs every 15 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
iRV Technologies Remote holds the better App Store score, 2.1 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iRV Technologies Remote has 59 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of iRV Technologies Remote's written reviews are positive against 17% of BMPRO Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iRV Technologies Remote ships an update every 15 months, BMPRO Connect every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
