The app allows you to quickly and conveniently configure laser tag equipment, control the game process, and save data from completed games. You will no longer need a computer to adjust game parameters - the mobile application can almost completely replace desktop software. IMPORTANT! For correct operation, Alphatag Configurator and gaming equipment must be connected to a single Wi-Fi network. You can use a router or a mobile device in access point mode. P.S. The same mobile device cannot be used to run the Alphatag Configurator application and as an access point.

Alphatag Configurator holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dune Control has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Dune Control's written reviews are positive against 25% of Alphatag Configurator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Dune Control ships an update every 32 months, Alphatag Configurator every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on August 11, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
