Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: SunStrong Connect at 4.4 against iDevices Connected's 2.1. SunStrong Connect also leads on ratings volume (15K vs 382) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). iDevices Connected's advantage is review sentiment (22% vs 12%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

SunStrong Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SunStrong Connect has 15K ratings behind it against 382, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of iDevices Connected's written reviews are positive against 12% of SunStrong Connect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iDevices Connected ships an update every 2 months, SunStrong Connect every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
