Fluke Connect holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fluke Connect has 286 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Fluke Connect's written reviews are positive against 22% of Fronius Solar.start's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Fluke Connect ships an update every 6 weeks, Fronius Solar.start every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
