ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

RemotePC Remote Desktop holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RemotePC Remote Desktop has 3.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of RemotePC Remote Desktop's written reviews are positive against 80% of iTouch Remote Free's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

RemotePC Remote Desktop ships an update every 2 weeks, iTouch Remote Free every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
