ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lucid Motors holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 358 and 76 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Lucid Motors's written reviews are positive against 39% of Control4's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lucid Motors ships an update every 3 weeks, Control4 fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
