App-controlled toys
An app turns a device with two or three fixed settings into something closer to an instrument. It also introduces an account, a data policy and a dependency on software that has to keep working for years. This category collects the devices where the app is central rather than incidental, and every entry is assessed on the software as much as the hardware.

Comparisons
Side by side
Lovense Ferri vs OhMiBod Foxy: two magnetic wearables for long-distance play
Same idea, same placement, same promise of control from anywhere. The difference is what each app wraps around the device, and how much each manufacturer is willing to put in writing.

We-Vibe Chorus vs Lovense Dolce: physical remote or independent motors
Two wearable couples vibrators that solve the control problem in opposite directions. One removes the phone from the loop, the other requires it to unlock the feature that makes it interesting.

Guides
Read before deciding
How to choose an app-controlled intimate device
Most of the decision comes down to four questions, and the specification sheet only answers one of them. Here is the order we would work through them in.
What to check before connecting an intimate device to an app
A connected intimate device generates some of the most sensitive data a person can produce. Six clauses in the privacy policy tell you most of what you need to know, and finding them takes about ten minutes.
