Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Total Connect 2.0 at 4.6 against Total Control Mobile's 2.0. Total Connect 2.0 also leads on ratings volume (286K vs 6) and device support (4 vs 2). Total Control Mobile's advantage is review sentiment (53% vs 23%) and iOS requirement (5.1.1 vs 16.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Total Connect 2.0 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Total Connect 2.0 has 286K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Total Connect 2.0's written reviews are positive against 53% of Total Control Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Total Connect 2.0 ships an update monthly, Total Control Mobile every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
