Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FullControl at 82% against RemoteView.'s 45%. FullControl also leads on ratings volume (219 vs 6) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). RemoteView.'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RemoteView. holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FullControl has 219 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of FullControl's written reviews are positive against 45% of RemoteView.'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FullControl ships an update every 4 weeks, RemoteView. every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
