ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Airstream DMX holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Airstream DMX has 27 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Ashly Remote's written reviews are positive against 53% of Airstream DMX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ashly Remote ships an update every 6 weeks, Airstream DMX every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
