ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Aqara Home holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Aqara Home has 7.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Aqara Home's written reviews are positive against 100% of U Mower's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Aqara Home ships an update fortnightly, U Mower every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
