ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DFC@Home holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DFC@Home has 123 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 5% of Zephyr Connect's written reviews are positive against 0% of DFC@Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Zephyr Connect ships an update every 2 months, DFC@Home every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
