ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TouchDirector Mini holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: NDI Multiview has 131 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of TouchDirector Mini's written reviews are positive against 46% of NDI Multiview's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TouchDirector Mini ships an update monthly, NDI Multiview every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
