Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: ECLIPSE CROSS PHEV Remote Ctrl at 3.0 against SubaruConnect's 1.8. ECLIPSE CROSS PHEV Remote Ctrl also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11 vs 17.0). SubaruConnect's advantage is ratings volume (465 vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 11 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ECLIPSE CROSS PHEV Remote Ctrl holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SubaruConnect has 465 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 2% of ECLIPSE CROSS PHEV Remote Ctrl's written reviews are positive against 7% of SubaruConnect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ECLIPSE CROSS PHEV Remote Ctrl ships an update every 11 months, SubaruConnect every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
