ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BTT Remote Control holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BTT Remote Control has 841 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of BTT Remote Control's written reviews are positive against 81% of Godspeed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BTT Remote Control ships an update every 3 weeks, Godspeed every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
