ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Good Earth Lighting holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Good Earth Lighting has 897 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 9% of Good Earth Lighting's written reviews are positive against 33% of Ghost Controls's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Good Earth Lighting ships an update every 9 months, Ghost Controls every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
