ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wemo holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wemo has 117K ratings behind it against 233, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 7% of Wemo's written reviews are positive against 11% of TECKIN's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wemo ships an update every 2 months, TECKIN monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
