ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Firestorm for LIFX holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Atomus 3D has 27 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Atomus 3D's written reviews are positive against 33% of Firestorm for LIFX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Atomus 3D ships an update every 4 months, Firestorm for LIFX every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 2, 2026.
