FastFinga 3 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4.

Written reviews complicate that: 57% of FastFinga 3's written reviews are positive against 79% of Remote Keyboard's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

FastFinga 3 ships an update every 6 weeks, Remote Keyboard fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
