SmartThermal holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MobIR has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of MobIR's written reviews are positive against 8% of SmartThermal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MobIR ships an update every 2 months, SmartThermal every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and June 7, 2026 respectively.
