Live DV holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.8.

Written reviews complicate that: 21% of iSmartViewPro's written reviews are positive against 15% of Live DV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
iSmartViewPro ships an update every 2 months, Live DV every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
