App-connected toys can be controlled from a phone, shared with a partner nearby or far away, and in some cases synced to music or other toys. That flexibility comes with extra questions: which phones and computers the app supports, whether a partner needs an account, how water resistance and warranties compare, and what the app’s published privacy information says.

This hub collects our research-based comparisons of app-controlled and long-distance products. We rely on each brand’s own product, app, warranty and FAQ pages, which we link, and we flag anything we couldn’t confirm. We don’t rate app reliability or other things we can’t measure.

Start with Lovense vs We-Vibe, our side-by-side look at the two best-known app ecosystems, then see our couples’ guide for remote and app-controlled options for partners.
