ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Origin Acoustics Sub holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Smart Remote has 585 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Origin Acoustics Sub's written reviews are positive against 70% of Smart Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
