ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RemoteView. holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RemoteView. has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of RemoteView.'s written reviews are positive against 50% of DeviceWebAPIBrowser's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RemoteView. ships an update every 2 months, DeviceWebAPIBrowser every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and August 25, 2026 respectively.
