Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Somfy myLink at 4.3 against Nice Mobile Viewer's 2.3. Somfy myLink also leads on ratings volume (9.1K vs 341) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Nice Mobile Viewer's advantage is review sentiment (26% vs 17%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
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.
Nice Mobile Viewer ships an update every 2 months, Somfy myLink every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
