HDV CAM holds the better App Store score, 2.6 against 1.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 103 and 23 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of MobileLink's written reviews are positive against 15% of HDV CAM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MobileLink ships an update every 3 weeks, HDV CAM every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
