ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Remote Mouse holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 19K and 15K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of Remote Mouse's written reviews are positive against 76% of iVCam Webcam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
