ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

DeskIn Remote Desktop holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DeskIn Remote Desktop has 333 ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Flick.'s written reviews are positive against 69% of DeskIn Remote Desktop's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Flick. ships an update monthly, DeskIn Remote Desktop every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
