ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Network Toolbox Net security holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Network Toolbox Net security has 3.3K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of iTouch Remote Free's written reviews are positive against 75% of Network Toolbox Net security's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iTouch Remote Free ships an update every 3 months, Network Toolbox Net security every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
