Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: JennAir at 4.2 against Control4's 3.6. JennAir also leads on ratings volume (2.3K vs 70) and iOS requirement (16.1 vs 18.0). Control4's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 11%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

JennAir holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JennAir has 2.3K ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 11% of JennAir's written reviews are positive against 38% of Control4's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

JennAir ships an update every 2 months, Control4 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
