Verdict

The call

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Somfy myLink holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Somfy myLink has 9.1K ratings behind it against 341, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Nice Mobile Viewer's written reviews are positive against 17% of Somfy myLink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Nice Mobile Viewer ships an update every 2 months, Somfy myLink every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
