ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Color Control Niko holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LED Light Controller Universal has 10K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Color Control Niko's written reviews are positive against 21% of LED Light Controller Universal's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Color Control Niko ships an update every 19 months, LED Light Controller Universal every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
