Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Led Light Controller LedRemote at 3.9 against Lumenplay App's 2.2. Led Light Controller LedRemote also leads on ratings volume (60K vs 54) and chart position (#183 vs unranked). Lumenplay App's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 14) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Led Light Controller LedRemote holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Led Light Controller LedRemote has 60K ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of Lumenplay App's written reviews are positive against 7% of Led Light Controller LedRemote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lumenplay App ships an update every 5 weeks, Led Light Controller LedRemote every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
