ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ELAC SUB Control 3.0 holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iSimple Connected Car has 31 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of iSimple Connected Car's written reviews are positive against 57% of ELAC SUB Control 3.0's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iSimple Connected Car ships an update every 6 weeks, ELAC SUB Control 3.0 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
