ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Smart holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 1.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ESC by FieldEdge has 102 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Smart's written reviews are positive against 3% of ESC by FieldEdge's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Smart ships an update every 2 months, ESC by FieldEdge every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
