ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Intermatic Connect holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: myTouchSmart has 186 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of myTouchSmart's written reviews are positive against 29% of Intermatic Connect'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. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
