ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

ST holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 705 Remote has 20 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ST's written reviews are positive against 64% of 705 Remote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ST ships an update every 27 months, 705 Remote weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
