ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LEGO® TECHNIC® CONTROL+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LEGO® TECHNIC® CONTROL+ has 9.3K ratings behind it against 39, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of BrickController2's written reviews are positive against 69% of LEGO® TECHNIC® CONTROL+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BrickController2 ships an update every 5 weeks, LEGO® TECHNIC® CONTROL+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 31, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
