It's a rather fun and sexy thing to be able to control a sex toy with a phone from anywhere. The concept of teledildonics has existed for decades and this has been one of the most reachable ways to fulfil fantasies for both men and women.
We are lucky to live in a high-tech era, which made the "long-distance sex" dream come true. Even better, we are presented with a ton of teledildonic sex toy options. Isn't that delightful for sex life?
In this article, I will talk about all the mainstream vibrator apps such as Lovense Remote from Lovense, We-connect from We-vibe, Feel Connect from Kiiroo, Ohmibod Remote. Besides, I will also cover some promising new players, such as Vibease Remote and Zalo Remote.
I will discuss about the app itself, alsong with the sex toys that are compatible with the app. Are the apps stable to use? Is there connectivity issues? How can the sex toys be remotely controlled?
I know you have many questions in head. Hopefully, by the end of your reading, all your questions will be answered :).
WHAT ARE VIBRATOR APPS?
Vibrator apps are a range of free and downloadable apps that allow you to connect your Apple or Android devices to different types of sex toys, such as vibrators, clitoral stimulator, butt plugs, masturbators, etc.
App-controllable sex toys usually requires Bluetooth and Internet connectivity to make a full use. With bluetooth function, you connect your own device with a sex toy.
With the Internet, the apps allow you to connect from your device to your partner's devices worldwide. Plus, to make the experience more enticing, many even allow you to connect to more than one device at a time.
Therefore, with vibrating apps at hand, you can be in the driver's seat of yourself or your lovers pleasure.
In this way, you would be able to have a more adventurous sex interaction. Also, it brings a lot of advantages to long distance relationship.
Below is an illustration about how most app-controllable sex toys and vibrator apps work:

Six Popular Vibrator Apps Tested and Reviewed
1. Lovense Remote Review (from Lovense)
Lovense company is the pioneer for remote control sex toys. All the sex toys they launched, such as vibrators, masturbators, butt plugs, wand massager and so on, can be controlled both in the traditional way and with the "Lovense Remote" app.
Toys such as Nora, Max, Domi and Ambi are perfect for adventurous bedroom play, no matter by yourself or with your partner.
What's more, there are some toys, such as Lush and Hush, that are designed for discreet public play.
Lovense Remote app can be the bridge that connects your fantasies and your favorite sex toys.

Then let's talk about the Lovense Remote app itself. In my opinion, this is one of the most versatile apps in the market. It allows you to sync your phone or device to your partner or lovers' vibrating toy(s) - or vice versa. Besides, it equips with a great amount of fun features that can spicy up your sex life.
Main Features of Lovense Remote:
1. Real-time control, locally and remotely
This is the most basic, also the most used function. Once you and/or your partner are connected with the sex toy, either part of you can control the sex toy. You can turn on/off the toy from any distance.
You can also surprise your partner by suddenly increasing the vibration strength. There are countless ways to play naughty.
To be honest, this is the function I use the most for public play and it works like a charm.
2. Sync vibrations to music
Lovense Remote supports syncing the vibration with the music from Spotify, Apple Music or any music you downloaded online in MP3 format.
To do that, you need to store your music file on your phone/sd card for offline listening in order to sync it with our app.
Once your music files are stored locally in your phone's storage, it will automatically sync with the app the next time you log in. If not, you can click the Music button in the app and slide down to refresh the screen.
As for Spotify*, you can also sync it with Lovense Remote app through these steps:
1. On the Lovense Remote app, click the Music button.
2. Click Streaming and select Spotify
3. Click the Link My Account button
4. Click Okay to sync Lovense Remote app with your Spotify account.
After doing the above steps, your Spotify music files should appear on the app's music list when you click the Music button.
(*please note that only Premium members of Spotify can sync their music with our app.)
3. Customize vibration patterns
Thanks to this feature, you or your partner can create countless ways of vibrations for your toy. Besides, you can program, share your own patterns and download the patterns shared by other users.
Depends on the type of the sex toys you have, you have options to create different types of sensations (see above picture).
For example, the Max 2 enables you to create "Vibration + Contraction" patterns while the Nora allows you to create "Vibration + Rotation" patterns.
4. Sound Control
Your sex toy can vibrate based on the sounds in your environment! The louder the sound is, the stronger the vibration is and vice versa.
Just so you know, the phone's microphone is very sensitive and will pick up even low sounds in your environment - the phone will hear the vibration of the toy will use that sound to repeatedly activate the toy... like a loop.
To effectively use this feature, I suggest that you make sure the room is quiet when you enter the sound feature. Then immediately reduce the sound sensitivity of the phone by moving the slider to the left.
However, if you do want unexpected vibration all the time, feel free to set the sensitivity level to the maximum and enjoy the sweet agony ;).
5. Alarm
Want to be wake up by naughty vibrations? By using the alarm feature, you can set an alarm for yourself* or your partner** to make the toy vibrate in Pattern or Sound mode at a specific time. Who doesn't want to start the way with an orgasm? 😉
(*To set up alarm for yourself: click "Alarm" feature on the Close Range tab)
(**To set up alarm for your partner: In your chat with them, click on the '+' which will show several different chat options and then choose "Alarm"
6. In-app Messaging & Video Chat
Messaging & Video Chat can keep you and your partner more intimate during the long distance play. Other than the regular chating functions, you can also save the vibration patterns recorded during the video chat session*.
Once you are done recording, you can view the file on Media. Here's the screenshot for your reference:
(*note that messaging or video files will not be saved for your privacy)
7. Programmable vibrations
This is a rather unique feature that exclusively applies to some of the Lovense toys. These lucky toys are Lush 3, Lush 2, Ambi, Osci, and Domi.
The idea of programmability is that you can use the Lovense Remote app to set power levels and patterns that are to your like and save it for a later use.
Once you set up your vibration levels and patterns, your toy's buttons will remember the settings even when it's not connected to your phone.
Therefore, for the future use, you can enjoy your prefered strength and style simply by taking out the toy.
setting example by domi
So, what kind of programmes you can decide for your toy? You can create "low", "medium" and "high" vibration levels and also you can save up to 10 different patterns.
My thoughts about Lovense Remote app...
Other than what has been mentioned, what worth to know is that Lovense pays great attention to privacy and data protection.
It records as little information about the user as possible. Besides, all data that passes through Lovense's servers (texts, pictures, and voice messages) are fully encrypted.
Besides, Lovense has a full time developer team and they provides quick customer support. This means if you have some issues regarding the sex toy or the app, you will be able to get a quick reply (usually within 1 day).
Also, if you experience unfixable issues, the Lovense team will send you a new toy as replacement as long as it's within 1-year warranty time.
I personally think Lovense's app is quite stable compared to most of the other vibrators apps. This is the app I use the most with my partner, for either public play or long distance play.
How to improve the connectivity issues for Lovense Remote? (Answered by Lovense Team)
Many reasons can cause disconnections. According the Lovense team, the disconnection issue is mostly caused by your setup. Below are the ways you can apply and usually, they shall fix 90% of the problems.
- Go to your system Bluetooth settings and unpair ALL devices(Bluetooth speakers, headphones, etc...) and restart your device.This helps clear the cache (you can add them again later).
- Make sure you only have the app open in one device (the toy can only connect to one device at a time - if the app is open on more than one device, the toy will have difficulty connecting to your device).
- Please don't run the app in the background, it may cause disconnections after few minutes, always run it in the front-end without your screen auto-locking.
- Try to uninstall and reinstall the app to make sure you're using the latest version of the app.
Other than that, it's better not to lock your phone and not use other apps or make calls during the process.
Otherwise, when you do that, the internet will disconnect automatically which will also disconnect your toy from the app as well.
Have you installed the updates for Bluetooth Connectivity?
Actually, Lovense has recently (as of Sep. 2019) developed a Firmware update that can improve the Bluetooth connectivity of the toy.
After connecting it to your phone through the Lovense Remote app or Lovense Connect app, you will see a Firm Update icon next to the name of the toy (see picture below).
Please click it to update the firmware of the toy. It should only take a few minutes. Make sure that the toy has at least 50% battery, and your phone has at least 40% battery to avoid any issues while updating.
(Big update from Sep. 2019)

2. We-Connect Review (from We-vibe)
We-Connect by We-vibe is another very well-known vibrator app. Most of the sex toys We-vibe launched can be controlled either in a traditional way or through We-Connect.
The sex toy range is also quite broad. Actually, We-vibe is the long distance sex heaven! It has more App-controllable sex toys compared to any other brands.
Other than all kinds of vibrators and butt plugs, there's also kegel devices that can be monitored and managed through the app.
Recently, We-vibe also included a new sub-brand called REALM, which is dedicated to remote controllable male masturbator.
So, We-vibe has the most complete collection when it comes to product range. Below are some of the popular toys We-vibe has. You may find more toys in the official site.
Click here to read reviews on different We-vibe sex toys
Beyond the sex toys themselves, the next question is how is the We-Connect app then?
Similar to Lovense Remote, once you have connected to the toy of your choice with We-connect, you can control the toy with a smartphone and other android devices from anywhere in the world.
Below are the list of features We-connect embraces:
Main Features of We-Vibe Connect:
1. Real-time control
Once connected, you or partner can control the vibration in any way you want and from anywhere you want. You can check my youtube channel to see how live control with We-connect looks like.
2. Customize vibration patterns (for single and dual motors)
All app-enabled we-vibe products are compatible with custom vibe except the we-vibe Melt, and Rey.
The special thing about We-Connect is that you can create targeted vibration patterns for different types of toys (aka. single or dual motor sex toys).
If you own a dual-motor devices*, you can create different patterns for each of the motor and can control them separately.
*Single motor devices from We-vibe: Jive, Ditto, Verge, Moxie, Reina, Wish
*Dual Motor devices from We-vibe: 4 plus, Sync, Vector, Nova
3. In-app Messaging & Video Chat
Once you and your partner are connected on the we-connect app. Chat, audio and video features are accessible
4. Beat Mode for We-vibe Sync (aka. music and sound control)
First, you must ensure that you have successfully paired your We-Vibe Sync to your device.
Once paired, on the We-Connect app, go to control > on the upper part of the screen, click on modes, and select “beat”.
After activating the beat mode, you can then select whether you want to Choose a song or Use your Mic.
5. Touch Mode for We-vibe Touch
My Thoughts About We-Connect....
As you can see from the "main features" table, some of the features are exclusively applied to We-vibe Chorus and We-vibe Touch X.
Despite that We-Connect is not as versatile as the Lovense Remote app if you get a toy other than Chorus, I personally think this app is still good enough to manage couple's needs for long distance play.
I personally think We-connect is more couple friendly than most of the other apps. All the features such as live control, messaging, and video call, are designed for intimate use.
There is no specific feature designed for cam girls and there's no up-to-face adult contents like Feel-Connect by Kiiroo.
Besides, the sex toys from We-vibe are in really high quality. Some of the toys I got from this brand has lasted me for more than 4 years and still work perfectly.
We-vibe was involved in an app data protection issue in 2017, but they've put a lot of efforts protecting user's data and privacy ever since.
So now, We-vibe doing an excellent job protecting your privacy and security.
Other than that, I would like to mention that the customer service is responsive as well and there is always 2-year warranty for the toys you bought from We-vibe.
How to connect long distance partner?
You can use the “connect lover” feature to connect to and control a partner’s We-Vibe for distances greater than bluetooth range (approximately 10 ft).
Here's how you would connect to a long distance partner (Further than 10 ft away):
1. Pair the We-Vibe to your phone, ensure both Partners have the most recent version of the App installed on their smartphone.
2. Send your partner an invitation to pair by pressing the menu button on the top left corner of the phone screen and click connect to lover. If you have previously connected to a partner and you want to connect to another partner or refresh the session. Please go to menu->settings-> remove lover, before you click connect to lover.
3. Have your partner accept the invitation by following the link in the message. When your partner has accepted the pairing request, there will be a blue notification bubble on the partner icon on the top right corner of the control screen.
4. Click the partner icon and your partner will be asked if they want to connect to you. After, your partner accepts, they will be able to control your We-Vibe.
5. To make a video call, click on video and to make an audio call, click on audio. you can also send text messages in the app by clicking on chat.
6. Remember that after you are connected to your partner once. The app will not let you send another connection link to your partner. If you want to connect to your lover again, simply ask them to re-enter the app and the partner icon will have a blue notification icon indicating that your partner is online. Click the partner icon to request pairing permission from your partner.
The unit can now be controlled from anywhere via your long-distance partner's phone, as long as both of you have a Wi-Fi connection or Cellular Data.
How to improve bluetooth connectivity for We-Connect? (Answered by We-vibe Team)
using We-vibe Melt as an example, this is how you can pair a device via bluetooth
While dropped Bluetooth connections are common, such issues usually get resolved on their own.
The phone may be busy handling other signals at the same time, weakening the Bluetooth connection to your We-Vibe.
You can try the following steps to fix your bluetooth connection:
✦ Turn off any Bluetooth enabled devices such as wireless headphones or speakers that may cause interference.
✦ Ensure that the External arm of the We-Vibe where the antenna is located is not completely enveloped by flesh. Try adjusting the position of the We-Vibe until you find a position that works well for you since the anatomy of each user is different
✦ Remove any hard cover phone case which may weaken the signal strength to the phone’s receiver
✦ Delete and reinstall the app to kick it out of any problematic state.
✦ Move your We-Vibe remote (if you have one) far out of range from the We-Vibe as it may be automatically connecting to your We-Vibe.
✦ Make sure that your phone and we-connect app is updated.
90% of the issues should be fixed with the above steps. If you still experience connection issues after trying these steps, you can contact the We-vibe customer service. They are quite responsive.

3. Ohmibod Remote 2 Review (from Ohmibod)
Read a detailed Ohmibod Review for all Ohmibod sex toys
Powered by Bluetooth, the OhmiBod Remote is another vibrator app accessible from the App Store or Google Play.
Ohmibod is actually an early player in the remote control toy field though the products range from Ohmibod brand is not as wide as We-vibe and Lovense. The most famous products Ohmibod has its panty vibrators, such as the Club Vibe.
Personally, I am not a big fan of Ohmibod's panty vibes because they don't really stay in place and the design is really old-fashioned.
But, in my opinion, this brand does have a good product called Esca 2, which is an wearable egg vibrator.
If you plan to buy sex toys from Ohmibod, please note that most of its sex toys are not be waterproof, which can be a big con for those of you who like wet play.
So, how is the Ohmibod Remote 2 app? Below are the main features this app embraces:
Main Features of Ohmibod Remote 2:
1. Real-time control, locally and remotely
Same as all the other vibrator apps, with Ohmibod Remote 2, you can control your partner's sex toy from across the room or across the country.
2. Customized vibe + Sync with music
There are a great amount of different vibe modes to choose from. Simply by swiping your fingers, you can make your your partner vibrate in all kinds of mode.
And yes, this app also allows you to sync the vibration with your favorite songs.
3. In-app chat while you vibe
The control panel enables you to vibe and chat with your partner at the same time. You can also send sexy pictures of yours to your partner during the process.
4. Recorded sex data by Oh!dometer
This app enables you to compare your sex statistics! How many orgasm you had for the previous weeks and months? Oh!dometer will tell you the answer.
Also, you can set up weekly sex goals to always keep your personal pleasure in mind. Oh!dometer feature serves as a pleasure recorder and reminder.
5. Sound control
Simply talking to the app and your connected sex toy will vibe. This app also allows you to adjust the sensitivity (to sound) and the intensity (for vibrator).
My Thoughts About Ohmibod Remote 2...
With all the features being mentioned above, you can see that Ohmibod Remote 2 does has some exclusive features such as track orgasm data though it is not as versatile as the Lovense Remote.
But I must admit that I did run into plenty of disconnections and crashes when using this app.
Actually, I know Ohmibod brand way before Lovense and We-vibe and I was quite excited about their remote controllable panty vibrators. However, the quality of the sex toy is not that good, in my opinion.
Plus, the app is a bit clumsy to use. So, unless Ohmibod comes up with new exciting toys, I won't be interested in this brand anymore.
These are just my personal opinions. I am sure some people enjoy products from this brand, but I just want to be honest with you.
Besides, I've reached out many times to Ohmibod team regarding the crash and the bluetooth connection issues. However, I still haven't got any answers. So, I won't be able to share connection tips with you for this app.

4. Feel-Connect Review (from Kiiroo)
Kiiroo is a high-tech sex toy company based in Amsterdam. It is devoted to interactive sex toys. The most famous products from Kiiroo are Pearl 2 and Onyx 2, which is a G-spot vibrator and a male masturbator, respectively.
Kiiroo itself doesn't have a large collection of toys, however, it has the most complete adult content resource to be used for all the sex toys it provides.
Also, it partnered with prestigious brands such as Fleshlight, Ohmibod, and We-vibe so that the customers can have a wider range of choice when it comes to toys.
When talking about the Feel-Connect app, I must also mention the Feelme.com adult contents site.
FeelMe.com is a site that features camgirls, adult videos, and adult VR contents. All the contents on this site is compatible for Kiiroo's sex toys for interactive experience.
FeelMe is currently in open beta, which encourages independent developers to add new contents to the site.
There are tags when opening the Menu located on the top left of the home page, though these are simply recommended tags to search by. This includes "Blowjob," "VR," "Brunette," etc.
Content is always being added to FeelMe.com. For clear information, FeelMe.com is essentially a hub where you are able to view free trailers and even some full free videos.
Besides, Feelme can link you to third-party websites such as Naughty America, WankzVR, etc., where you will have to subscribe to their particular website.
Below are the main features of Feel-Connect & Feelme.com:
Main Features of Feel-Connect & Feelme.com:
1. Real-time control with Feel-Connect
Just like all the other apps, you may control your device via the Feel Connect application's device controller. Your partner can control your device via Bluetooth, or synchronized with interactive videos online.
2. Sound Control by Feel-Connect
Kiiroo toys allow sound control when paired with a webcam website for performers on these sites (aka. It's impossible to use this function within couples).
You can connect your device to webcam girls through Feelme.com
3. Interactive experience with Camgirls via Feelme.com
A large variety of camgirls are presented on the Feelme site, which can be connected via Feel-connect. You can always find girls to your taste. Besides, there are ratings, comments and detailed profile for each girl.
With the Kiiroo masturbator at hand, you can enjoy an unique journey with a girl of your own choice.
4. Interactive experience with videos and VR contents via Feelme.com
There are tons of man and women adult videos on Feelme.com. You can either enjoy a video in a traditional form or in VR form.
Either way, your sex toy from Kiiroo will accompany you and react based on the videos you watch.
Of course, you can connect all these videos via the Feel-Connect app. This is a feature that exclusively to Kiiroo.
5. Feel-Connect app is compatible to many non-kiiroo sex toys
This is another exclusive feature for Feel-Connect. With this app, you can control not only the sex toys from Kiiroo, you can also connect to other high-quality toys, such as We-vibe Sync, Fleshlight, Ohmibod's Fuse, the Cowgirl, etc.
My Thoughts About Kiiroo Feel Connect...
Personally, I think Kiiroo's products are more designed for male's solo masturbation instead of for couple use.
Kiiroo puts a lot of focus on creating adult contents in order to fulfill the fantasies of many men. For example, it partnered with fleshlight to create male masturbator that use the vagina shape of real porn starts.
The Feel-Connect app itself is very limited for couple use, it's only function is to control the sex toy from distance by swiping your fingers. There's nothing like syncing vibration with sound and music. You can't customize vibration patterns and there's no In-app Messaging & Video Chat.
With these being said, you can see why Kiiroo is more ideal for male masturbation instead of intimate couple sex (unless you are into watch porn together).
I am actually amazed by the wide range of resources Kiiroo provides when it comes to adult contents. There are tons of traditional videos, VR videos and camgirls on the Feelme.com site .
I tried the Feel-Connect app for a couple of times. This app is rather simple to use, but it doesn't always function as promised.
It has some compatibility issues when it comes to the partnered toys and adult platforms. Also, I kept losing connection when using it with my bf.
However, the good thing I can say about Kiiroo is that its customer support is very responsible and responsive.
They really try helping to fix the problems asap (at least to my experience). Besides, if not considering the app, Kiiroo's sex toys are in really high-quality.
Another good thing about Feel-Connect or Feel.me is that the app and the site are camgirl friendly.
If you are a webcam performer and wish to connect your device to an online webcam platform, there are detailed manuals which instruct you how to connect depending on the webcam website you wish to use.
How to control your partner's device via Feel-Connect or vice-versa?
I know some of you still want to use Kiiroo for couple use and this is definitely possible, though will require two mobile devices with the FeelConnect app.
below is a step-by-step guide for your partner to control your device:
1. On your own mobile device on the FeelConnect App, go to the menu and click "Partner Connect"
2. Click "Share" and then "Share" again.
3. This will prompt a link and options on how you wish to share this link.
4. At this point, after you have shared this link, your partner must take the steps from this point forward
5. Your partner must click the link. This will direct his mobile device to the FeelConnect App.
6. Your partner must confirm within the app that they wish to join this "Room" (This will be prompted for your partner).
7. Your partner must then go to his devices (Bluetooth symbol on the bottom left).
8. Your partner must click on "device controller"
9. Your partner must ensure that his control is under "Partner Control" (Also seen on the bottom left after entering this page).
10. At this point, your device should be able to be controlled via your partner's mobile device. Depending on your location, this may take a minute or two for your device and both you and your partner's mobile devices to detect and sync with each other.
How to improve the connectivity issues for Feel-Connect? (Answered by Kiiroo team)
Firstly, please ensure that the location of your mobile phone is turned on and that there are no other devices connected to your Bluetooth.
In addition to this, please make sure that the Feel Connect app is in the foreground of your mobile device and your screen is not locking.
Please note that you CANNOT exit the application for any reason without risk of disconnection.
Some people may think the app may run better on the IOS system, but that’s a totally myth. As long as your device is connecting to begin with, the IOS or Android system should not matter and neither provide more stable connection than the other.
Other than what was mentioned, you must also have a stable internet connection when using the device. For example, if you can watch YouTube videos without constant buffering, you should be able to use our devices.
After trying all the above tips, if you are still experiencing this issue with your application consistently open, this can be due to a fault in your device.
In that case, you can either ask for a replacement (if you order is less than one-year-old) or send a video evidence of the issue occurring to the support team.
The Kiiroo team is really helpful and they usually reply to you within 24 hours.

5. Vibease Wireless Remote Vibrator Review (from Vibease)
Vibease is a singaporean company. The owner started to create long distance sex toy because he himself was in a long distance relationship.
So, you bet he understands the sexual needs for distant couples. Vibease only has three products at the moment - a bullet vibe, a rabbit vibe, a lipstick vibe (not launched at this moment).
There aren't a wide range of sex toy from vibease, but their app is rather unique because Vibease also developed an online erotic book shop that allows your sex toy to vibrate while listening to your favorite fantasy books.
With access to hundreds of audio books you can enjoy the sensual sounds of an erotic story whilst engaging with a vibrating toy.
There are plenty of free fantasy books to listen to, though some of the books require extra purchase (between $1.5 - $7.9 for each book)
The main features of vibease include 1) real-time control 2) vibration sync with music (only for solo use) 3) customized patterns 4) in-app messaging & video chatting 5) vibration sync with fantasy books for solo play.
Besides, if you and your partner are using iPhone, there is a function whereby your partner can share a custom audio recording to you. He can record his voice and add custom vibrations to his voice!
My thoughts about Vibease Wireless Remote Vibrator app...
Vibease is a rather small company with rather limited sex toy options. But in general, I think Vibease app is quite stable and intuitive to use.
This app works just like a regular messaging app with additional benefits! I was most intrigued by its audiobooks and it was a real fun way for some lonely nights when my partner is not around.
Besides, for long distance use, I like the fact that my partner can create customized vibrations and control it from a distance.
There is an Interactive Touchpad where my partner can move the bubbles around. Alternatively, he can use the graph format to customise the vibrations.

Vibease also has a quite secured data protection policy and their customer support is quite reactive as well.
How to improve the connectivity issues for Vibease app? (answered by Vibease team)
Vibease toy can only be paired to one phone unless it is being reset! (To do the reset, press and hold power button for 5 seconds.)
If you insert the sex toy, the Bluetooth signal can drop because the Bluetooth signal will be affected if there is flesh covering it.
This issues happens more when it comes to Vibease bullet vibrator. So, Vibease suggests only use this toy for external stimulation.
Besides, there usually are lesser problems with the Apple phones as there are variations for Androids!

6. Zalo Remote Review (from Zalo USA)
Zalo is a Chinese company and it is a new comer for the remote-control sex toy market.
Zalo launched some of the most good-looking toys I've ever seen and the quality of their toys is quite outstanding. Some of Zalo's toys even embrace golden-plating and swarovski crystals.
The toys range from the bullet vibe, G-spot Vibrators to couple vibe, and some of the toys, such as Hero, are exceptionally powerful and provide endless pleasure whilst having a discreet motor.
Not all the toys from Zalo can be controlled from distance. So, you’d better check carefully before making a purchase.
The sex toys from Zalo are excellent, but not the app. Many parts of the app are in Kanji, which is really not friendly to non-Chinese users (Yes, you can select “English”, but the app will still be in a different language…).
The main features of this app include 1) real-time control 2) music vibration mode 3) customized patterns, and 4) record sex length and consumed calories.
The recording function doesn’t work properly, but there wasn't much connectivity issues while the app is in use (at least not for me).
I tried to contact the Zalo team for many times for advices, but never get any reply. Their support team is a joke.
This is a shame, because Zalo’s sex toys are in rather good quality and really worth trying.
So, if you do want to get a toy from Zalo, don’t count too much on the customer service.
Actually, I would recommend not getting the toy directly from Zalo’s official shop, instead, get it from prestigious retailers such as Lovehoney and Shevibe.
They not only offer better price, but also provides better customer service.

Just sharing some extra thoughts...
Before finishing talking about vibrator Apps, I must point out one important thing.
No matter which app you use, you will find people claiming having connectivity issues.
This is a rather common issues which can be caused by all kinds of reasons, such as phone compatibility, your recent updates, and of course, bugs from the app itself etc.
Some sex toy companies, such as Lovense, We-vibe and Kiiroo react fast to App issues once being contacted and they try the best to fix the issues for you.
Or at least, they response to you fast enough to show that they care about user experience.
But they are companies, such as Ohmibod and Zalo, being quite ignorant. So, pay extra attention on this point when you make your purchase.
Another way to see how involved a company is when it comes to app quality is to see how often the company updates the versions.
Not saying one update can fix all issues, but at least that means the developer team from that company is more active. This is a good sign, isn't it?
Other than that, some vibrator apps, such as Lovense Remote and We-Connect does work more stably (aka. less crashes and freezes) than others.
Lastly, I would like to point out that just because some people experience App issues doesn't mean you will experience the same.
Take myself as example, I barely had issues with the Lovense Remote app but I do experience plenty of crashes when using Feel-Connect.
Why that happened? I have no idea. But the point is that your interaction with your sex toy can be different and you won't know until you try.
Other than tech functions, there's also emotional factors you shall keep in mind while choosing vibrator apps.
When searching for an ideal app or an ideal remote controllable sex toy, take into consideration what will give your partner ultimate pleasure - whether they will enjoy the dual experience of listening to an erotic story or listening to their favorite tune whilst enjoying the pulsation?
I know many women prefer continuous vibrations instead of patterns.But patterns can be really fun esp. during foreplay or teasing play.
Thus, remember to make use of the vibrating patterns that are already provided on your device or by the app so you can be creative and discover your lover's favorite spots.
Also, don't hold back and alternate between the set patterns and even making your own personalized patterns.
Besides, enjoy speaking to your partner via the app so that they can request what they really want to experience.
What About Vibrating Apps, the Ones that Turn Your Phone into a Vibrator?
Similarly to downloadable apps that can be used with vibrating sex toys, there is also the option of vibrating apps, such as ivibe.
The idea of vibrating app is to turn your phone into a vibrator. Although this concept is quite interesting, I personally don't recommend (and yes, i've tried it).
Firstly, you phone don't have enough power to vibrate strong enough to actually give you an orgasm.
Besides, vibrating apps will drain more of your battery much faster; therefore, by using a vibrating app, this will rapid leave you without juice!
Other than that, there are of course questionable hygiene and health risks around using your phone for more intimate purpose and whether you will be able to clean your phone correctly if you engage in intimate behavior.
Final Words
So with such a range of apps to choose from and companies that specialize in enhancing your love-making experience, whether you are near or far away from your partner or lover, you can always remain close through a combined app and vibrator experience.
Enjoy! 😉

Hello Michelle, which toy do you have? It stop vibrating in general or just when controlled by the app? If it’s under warranty time, you can contact the company directly for fixation or replacement.
