FUJIFILM XApp holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.0.

Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Sinar eShutter Remote's written reviews are positive against 16% of FUJIFILM XApp's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sinar eShutter Remote ships an update every 12 months, FUJIFILM XApp every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
