Forever Lighting holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Oelo Evolution has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Forever Lighting's written reviews are positive against 68% of Oelo Evolution's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Forever Lighting ships an update monthly, Oelo Evolution every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
