Instant, secure logins to EAMS-A using your personal mobile device. Protect your Army EAMS-A account by adding second factor authentication with Army MobileConnect. After logging in to EAMS-A as you normally would, MobileConnect will send a notification to your device, asking you to approve the login, or will generate a one-time passcode to use instead. MobileConnect will now allow users to login without a username and password once registered. This simplifies desktop and mobile access to hundreds of Army sites backed by EAMS-A. You may still use MobileConnectas a second factor for username and password logins if needed. You may use automatic push notifications or TOTP for validating your second factor with MobileConnect. Note: This app requires a US Army EAMS-A account and registration for the MobileConnectservice. Simple instructions are provided in the app.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Army MobileConnect at 95 against Lights App's 12. Lights App's advantage is review sentiment (19% vs 10%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads 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.
Army MobileConnect holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Army MobileConnect has 95 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Lights App's written reviews are positive against 10% of Army MobileConnect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Lights App ships an update every 6 weeks, Army MobileConnect every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 11, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
