MiSmart Camera holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SmartCam View has 72 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of MiSmart Camera's written reviews are positive against 63% of SmartCam View's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MiSmart Camera ships an update every 7 months, SmartCam View every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
