HunterSMART™ (SIMPLEconnect®) holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.4.

Written reviews complicate that: 29% of SolaCom's written reviews are positive against 13% of HunterSMART™ (SIMPLEconnect®)'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SolaCom ships an update every 4 months, HunterSMART™ (SIMPLEconnect®) every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
