ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Luna Controller holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Luna Controller has 7.8K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pairmoji's written reviews are positive against 29% of Luna Controller's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pairmoji ships an update every 23 months, Luna Controller monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
