The App is designed for the battery/AC working lights from Elektron Berlin. 1.) Switch on/off, 5 steps of dimming. 2.) One mobile can control max. 4 working lights at same time. 3.) Rename your working lights and give them individual names to identify them easily. 4.) Set pin codes for your working lights, so only users with the pin code can use them. 5.) Auto-re-connection of the working lights with your mobile, next time you work with your working lights again.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Lichtregulator at none against Thermal Growth's shown. Lichtregulator also leads on iOS requirement (10.3 vs 18.0). Thermal Growth's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 20 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
