ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tuiss SmartView holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tuiss SmartView has 88 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Tuiss SmartView's written reviews are positive against 56% of SelectBlinds® Automation's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tuiss SmartView ships an update monthly, SelectBlinds® Automation every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
