This app enables wireless adjustment of sensors that have the display/adjustment module PLICSCOM with Bluetooth. Your smartphone or tablet gives you convenient access to the adjustment functions of the sensor. The intuitive user interface of the app makes it very easy to configure the sensor and put it into operation. The optimized display and diagnostic function allows you to e.g. visualize the measured value or sensor status quickly and easily. By entering the serial number, all relevant information about your VEGA instrument can be retrieved. Optionally, you can get this information on your smartphone by scanning the data matrix code or barcode on the type label. General device information (instrument name, article number, delivery date, etc.), an overview of product features and the device-specific documentation (operating instructions, test certificates and safety notes) are thus available anytime, anywhere. By making use of the tilt sensor integrated in the smartphone, the app also allows the user to optimally align the radar sensor with the tank discharge opening in bulk solids applications.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VEGA Tools at none against DevCom's 1. VEGA Tools also leads on ratings volume (21 vs 4) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). DevCom's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. DevCom sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. VEGA Tools asks for nothing beyond the download.
DevCom holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VEGA Tools has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of VEGA Tools's written reviews are positive against 100% of DevCom's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
