EXPLORER Connect holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SES Remote Access Control has 40 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of EXPLORER Connect's written reviews are positive against 8% of SES Remote Access Control's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
EXPLORER Connect ships an update every 10 months, SES Remote Access Control every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 31, 2026 and September 2, 2026 respectively.
