ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QuietCool Smart Control holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QuietCool Smart Control has 15K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of QuietCool Smart Control's written reviews are positive against 50% of Request Cerritos's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
