Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
SunStrong Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SunStrong Connect has 15K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of SunStrong Connect's written reviews are positive against 33% of Poolstar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SunStrong Connect ships an update every 2 weeks, Poolstar every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 13, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
