Types of Lovense Apps: Which One Is Right For Your Needs?

Lovense is one of the most innovative sex toy companies out there, and this includes both their cleverly designed toys and the incredible apps that complement the products and enhance user experience. But it is true that there are a lot of apps with a lot of features, and you may be feeling slightly overwhelmed trying to decide which ones are best for you and your toys.

Tim Larson, who is one of our top sex toy testers as well as our pleasure tech expert, is going to help us narrow down our choices.

1. Lovense Remote App

What Is the Lovense Remote App?

The Lovense Remote app is available for Windows (Google Play Store) and iOS (App Store) smartphones. With this app, you can control any or all of your Lovense sex toys from your phone. It is good for solo play, partnered play, and remote play, even across long distances. Its features include:

Local Remote Control: You can use your device to control your sex toy during a solo session; many users find this more convenient and user-friendly than fumbling for buttons between your legs in the heat of the moment.

Remote/Long-Distance Connections: The company was founded in 2010 by Dan Liu, who was involved in a long-distance relationship but craving sexual connections with his partner. While Lovense now offers a wide range of sex toys for every body, they have remained true to their mission and all their models can be used by couples who are separated by geography so that they can maintain intimacy and share sexual pleasure.

Music-Based Vibrations: One of the most unique features of the Remote app is that it lets you sync your Lovense sex toy (and your partner’s toy, if they are connected in the app) to the beat of any song in your Spotify library.

To the beat of the rhythm of the night, [dance] until the morning light
Forget about the worries on your mind, you can leave them all behind
To the beat of the rhythm of the night
Oh, the rhythm of the night, oh yeah

 —  DeBarge (1985)

Creating and Sharing Vibration Patterns: Lovense sex toys come pre-programmed with a great range of thoughtfully curated vibration patterns and intensities, but the Remote app also allows you to create your own custom patterns. You can share these patterns with your partner or with other users through the app, and you can also access custom patterns that other users have created.

In-App Messaging With Your Partner: The Remote app lets you sync your sex toy with your partner’s toy so you can either control each other’s toys or share sensations simultaneously, either next to each other in bed or in completely different countries. You can also exchange in-app messages with your partner (granted, this is probably more of a benefit to the latter couples) so you don’t have to switch to a different device in order to communicate.

User-Friendly Interface: Last but not least, the Remote app does all this with an accessible, intuitive interface. You do not need to be second-line tech support to make the most of your Lovense sex toys!

Who Is the Lovense Remote App For?

The easy answer here is, everybody! For real, though, the Lovense Remote app is great for solo play, in-person partnered play, and long-distance partnered play.

If you’re setting up for a solo session, you can create and customize the perfect vibration pattern or sync to your favorite content — either adult content for a fully immersive experience or your favorite playlist.

Couples who are in physical proximity can take turns controlling each other’s toys or sharing sensations. Also, there are more than a few Lovense sex toys that are wearable underneath clothes, so discreet public play is a fun option.

And if you are in a long-distance relationship, the Lovense Remote app helps you maintain a sensual and intimate connection with your partner. You can take turns bringing each other to orgasm, or you can connect your toys and experience it together — while being able to message each other in the app without having to switch devices.

Which Lovense Sex Toys Are Compatible With the Remote App?

The Remote app is compatible with all Lovense sex toy products, such as Domi 2, Nora, Max 2, Hush 2, Lush 3 and 4, Ambi, Edge 2, Osci 3, and Ferri. The app lets you control multiple toys from the same app.

2. Lovense Connect App

What Is the Lovense Connect App?

The Connect app is optimized for adult content creators who produce live streams, but some of the features are likely to appeal to amateurs as well. It not only lets you customize vibration patterns but also syncs your sex toy to content (music, games, or erotica), chats in a chat window, and turns over control of your toy with a quick link.

Who Is the Lovense Connect App For?

As we explained above, Lovense Connect was created with cam models in mind and the functions are tailored towards content creation.

Seamless Integration: With the Lovense Connect app, you can easily integrate multiple toys into your streaming sessions. The “add toys” option lets you add as many toys as you want. Once it is paired, just press and hold the on/off button until the toy vibrates.

Cam Model Optimization: With this feature, content creators can use two or more devices during their streams. The Connect app can accommodate up to five toys while still providing optimal stream quality and user interface. You can also turn over control of your toy to a viewer (who tips well) with a single control link.

Automated Connectivity: The Connect app simplifies the toy-to-app connection process even further with the use of Bluetooth. When a user’s Bluetooth is enabled, the app automatically detects and activates the connection.

Which Lovense Sex Toys Are Compatible With Lovense Connect?

The Lovense Connect app requires a Bluetooth-enabled Lovense sex toy to access the full range of functions, and these include Lush 3 and 4, Hush 2, Domi 2, and Max 2.

The app itself is compatible with many devices, including smartphones, tablets, and computers. It is available on the Google Play Store for Android, the App Store for iOS, and the official website for computers.

3. Lovense Partner App VibeMate

What Is the VibeMate App?

VibeMate, formerly known as Surfease, is a third-party mobile browser that is designed to work with different Lovense sex toys and provide a more immersive experience when you are interacting with adult content and content creators. VibeMate lets you control your toys remotely, and also to sync with content creators’ toys so that you can feel what they are feeling. It is voice-activated in case your hands are otherwise occupied, and you can also video chat and send in-app messages.

Please be aware that VibeMate was developed outside of the Lovense ecosystem; it does have partial support from Lovense.

Who Is VibeMate For?

VibeMate is for people with a strong Internet connection and an even stronger desire to explore sensual online experiences with your Lovense sex toys. It is also well suited for folks who are not quite ready to come out with certain desires, because it lets us interact with content and performers from the privacy of our own homes. It doesn’t even leave tracks in our browsing history!

Which Lovense Sex Toys Are Compatible With VibeMate?

VibeMate is not an official Lovense production, but at the time of this writing, the official website states that all Lovense sex toys are compatible with VibeMate. They recommend using Solace Pro, Max 2, and/or Edge 2 in conjunction with VibeMate.

4. Tophy App

What Is Tophy?

Tophy is another third-party app. It is a dating app that encourages users to search for dates with compatible sexual preferences and interests. Once you match with another user, you can chat in-app and share photos and videos — this may not sound all that different from vanilla dating apps, but Tophy also lets users share control of their Lovense sex toys! You can download Tophy from the App Store (iOS) or the Google Play Store (Android).

Who Is Tophy For?

Obviously, Tophy is for people who know what they want and are looking for others who want the same thing. However, like VibeMate, Tophy is also for people who are looking to explore on the down-low. It lets you interact with other users privately and discreetly.

Happy vibing!
