ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Anker Power holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anker Power has 1.5K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Desk Remote Control's written reviews are positive against 70% of Anker Power's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Desk Remote Control ships an update monthly, Anker Power fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
