ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LED Light Controller Remote + holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LED Light Controller Remote + has 3.5K ratings behind it against 487, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of LED Hue's written reviews are positive against 32% of LED Light Controller Remote +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LED Hue ships an update every 5 months, LED Light Controller Remote + weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
