Grazie a questa semplice app è possibile controllare il colore e l'intensità luminosa della vostra lampada Picasso con iPhone ( iOS7+) Premendo l'animazione della schermata iniziale si stabilisce il collegamento con la lampada Picasso (WiFi). La sezione di controllo è semplice ed intuitiva: una tavolozza di colori, un'icona ed una barra. Dalla tavolozza di colori è possibile selezionare uno dei tanti colori disponibili che Picasso riprodurrà per il vostro ambiente. La barra in basso consente di variare l'intensità luminosa del colore selezionato. L'unica icona consente di salvare l'ultimo colore selezionato. In caso di assenza di rete, al ritorno, la lampada Picasso si illuminerà con l'ultimo colore salvato. Semplice, immediato e completo. L'applicazione funziona solo con la lampada "Picasso" della Tecno switch S.r.l. (cod. LA104RG ).

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Picasso at none against Desk Clock's 3. Picasso also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 69%). Desk Clock's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 35 months) and device support (5 vs 3). On price there is nothing between them.
