ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Remote Mouse & Keyboard holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Mouse & Keyboard has 73 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 50% of Remote Mouse & Keyboard'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, Remote Mouse & Keyboard every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
