# LumoGo vs ET App

The clearest difference is ratings volume: LumoGo at 124 against ET App's 5. ET App's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (25% vs 14%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.2 for LumoGo against 4.2 for ET App. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LumoGo has 124 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 14% of LumoGo's written reviews are positive against 25% of ET App's.

LumoGo ships an update every 6 weeks, ET App fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
