ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Calmus Remote holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Calmus Remote has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Calmus Remote's written reviews are positive against 33% of Legacy ClariMate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Calmus Remote ships an update every 3 months, Legacy ClariMate every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
