Marvelight holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Marvelight has 440 ratings behind it against 42, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Light Show's written reviews are positive against 25% of Marvelight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Light Show ships an update every 6 weeks, Marvelight every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
