Powerful, niche universal remote for Benetti BEST systems

Minh Ong

05/28/2026

iBest Plus by neXtworks Srl is a compact universal remote app that gives owners of Benetti’s BEST integrated systems comprehensive multi-zone control of A/V streaming, lighting, climate, curtains and security, with scenario capture and user access levels — though it only functions with compatible hardware and targets a specialized luxury-yacht/residential market.

In review, iBest Plus presents itself as a universal remote control application designed to offer straightforward yet capable management of domotics, entertainment, and surveillance systems. The software targets Benetti's BEST(TM) platform.

Functionality available on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad depends on the hardware installed in your system, and includes:

Complete multi-terminal, multi-zone A/V streaming control
A/V library browsing directly on iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad
Multi-zone domotics control for lighting (on/off, dimmers, RGB, RGBW, multi-white)
Multi-zone domotics control for curtains and shades, lifters and motors
Multi-zone domotics control for air conditioning
Comprehensive scenarios capturing the status of the entire system
User authentication with distinct pages and levels of functionality
Easy access to all zones and terminals

The application is usable only with a Benetti's BEST(TM) integrated system.

Pros

Comprehensive control: supports multi-terminal, multi-zone A/V streaming control and A/V library browsing from iPhone/iPad, allowing centralized media management.
Broad domotics coverage: provides multi-zone control for lighting (on/off, dimmers, RGB/RGBW/multi-white), curtains/shaders, lifters/motors and air conditioning.
Scenario capture: can save/recall comprehensive scenarios capturing the status of the entire integrated system.
User management: supports user authentication with different pages/levels of functionality for access control.
Device compatibility: universal iOS app (iPhone, iPad) with relatively small install size (~32.4 MB) and support for multiple languages (English, Italian, Russian).
Active maintenance history: many incremental releases and bug fixes over years indicate ongoing maintenance and responsiveness to issues.
Targeted integration: specifically designed for Benetti’s BEST(TM) integrated system, which suggests deep/optimized integration for that platform.
Privacy stance: App Store listing indicates the developer states the app does not collect any data, and a privacy policy PDF is provided on the developer site.
Experienced developer: neXtworks Srl is an established company with strong R&D, IoT, automation and networking expertise (per corporate site), which supports credibility for enterprise/embedded integrations.

Cons

Very limited audience: app can only be used if you have a Benetti BEST(TM) integrated system, so unsuitable for general smart-home users.
Sparse public feedback: App Store shows only one rating, so there’s little public user feedback to assess real-world reliability and usability.
Platform limitation: primarily an iOS/iPadOS app (macOS only via M1 compatibility), so no native Android support noted.
Feature dependency on hardware: available functions depend entirely on the hardware installed in the target system—capabilities may vary or be missing for many users.
Unclear current activity: latest App Store version note is from 2022 (though many prior updates), which may raise questions about current development pace or support.
Limited public documentation: the App Store description is concise; detailed user guides and technical docs are not readily visible on public pages.
Privacy verification: while the developer states no data is collected, Apple indicates the developer-provided privacy information has not been verified by Apple.
Niche positioning: App Store category is ‘Entertainment’ rather than ‘Utilities’/’Home Automation’, which may make discoverability harder for target users.
UI/UX quirks historically: changelog references multiple small fixes (colors, widgets, layouts), indicating that some UI issues have occurred and may persist in edge cases.
