LED Light Controller・Lamp・Bulb holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.6.

Written reviews complicate that: 28% of LotusLanternX's written reviews are positive against 23% of LED Light Controller・Lamp・Bulb's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
