ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Chain Driver holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Chain Driver has 2.6K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Chain Driver's written reviews are positive against 50% of TX Auto Group Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Chain Driver ships an update fortnightly, TX Auto Group Connect every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
