Note: This app uses a data stream that will connect to your Swann system via 4G/5G or Wi-Fi. When using 4G/5G, the video from your Swann device may be considered "downloads" by your phone service provider and could contribute to any download limit your phone data plan may have.

Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Swann Security holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Swann Security has 75K ratings behind it against 5.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of TeamViewer QuickSupport's written reviews are positive against 26% of Swann Security's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TeamViewer QuickSupport ships an update monthly, Swann Security every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
