ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

TeamViewer Remote Control holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TeamViewer Remote Control has 45K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of TeamViewer Remote Control's written reviews are positive against 100% of OptiTools Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

TeamViewer Remote Control ships an update every 3 weeks, OptiTools Mobile every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
