Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: IP Camera Viewer at 4.1 against SHARP Display Connect's 2.3. IP Camera Viewer also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 3). SHARP Display Connect's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and review sentiment (67% vs 39%). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

IP Camera Viewer holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IP Camera Viewer has 1.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of SHARP Display Connect's written reviews are positive against 39% of IP Camera Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SHARP Display Connect ships an update every 8 months, IP Camera Viewer fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
