ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mobile Link for Generators holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobile Link for Generators has 86K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Mobile Link for Generators's written reviews are positive against 100% of LUKE's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Mobile Link for Generators ships an update monthly, LUKE every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
