ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

LuminaRF SA holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SnapLink Mobile has 94 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of SnapLink Mobile's written reviews are positive against 0% of LuminaRF SA's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
