ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wireless Workbench Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wireless Workbench Mobile has 47 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 31% of Wireless Workbench Mobile'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, Wireless Workbench Mobile every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
