ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Firmware Update Tool holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SLX Connect has 29 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Firmware Update Tool's written reviews are positive against 68% of SLX Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Firmware Update Tool ships an update every 20 months, SLX Connect every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and June 8, 2026 respectively.
