Rogers Xfinity holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Rogers Xfinity has 506 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Rogers Xfinity's written reviews are positive against 28% of GlowStone Lighting Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Rogers Xfinity ships an update every 3 weeks, GlowStone Lighting Plus every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
