Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Flatout ATC at 4.4 against IF Remote's 3.5. Flatout ATC also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (42 vs 8). IF Remote's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 67%) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flatout ATC holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flatout ATC has 42 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of IF Remote's written reviews are positive against 67% of Flatout ATC's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

IF Remote ships an update every 4 days, Flatout ATC every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 4, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
