ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

EGO Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EGO Connect has 6.5K 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 67% of EGO Connect'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, EGO Connect every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
