Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: DS Player at 70% against Silent Angel Remote's 6%. DS Player also leads on price (Free vs $2.99) and ratings volume (45 vs 1). Silent Angel Remote's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Silent Angel Remote holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DS Player has 45 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Silent Angel Remote's written reviews are positive against 70% of DS Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Silent Angel Remote ships an update monthly, DS Player weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
