ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Sennheiser Smart Control holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sennheiser Smart Control has 1.5K ratings behind it against 239, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Sennheiser Smart Control's written reviews are positive against 39% of Tribit'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 monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
