5 of the best app-controlled sex toys for women and people with a vulva

We-Vibe has been developing and perfecting the wearable-during-intercourse couples’ vibrator for years. The latest offering, the Chorus, is the best yet, and features a squeeze-operated remote control, touch-responsive sensors, and an AnkorLink/Bluetooth mix combo technology for connecting more reliably with the We-Connect app (Android / iOS).

The Chorus also offers the strong, rumbly and satisfying vibrations that fans have come to expect and love from this company’s products.

The app control is usable from anywhere in the world and the Chorus’s response is fast and reliable.

Lovense was an early pioneer of app-controlled sex toys and is still incredibly popular for good reason. The Lovense models are particularly popular with cam models and performers due to the patented technology that allows for tip-controlled vibrations, and the ability to give live control to high tippers during a cam show.

Couple that with the strong clitoral vibrations, rotating head for more effective G-spot stimulation, and ability to sync with the Max 2 toy for people with a penis, and it’s easy to see why the Lovense Nora is an enduring favorite.

For those who don’t have a smartphone or just find that using their computer is easier, the Lovense app allows toys to be synced to music or sound-activated. It also connects directly to a PC via an adaptor.

The Svakom app is by far the most user-friendly, intuitive interface of any we’ve tried. It connects quickly, works reliably, and has an innovative touch-screen sensitive function that allows you to draw your own vibration patterns.

The Svakom Ella bullet/egg vibrator is a surprisingly powerful and quiet little toy that works well as either an internal or external vibrator. The main downside is that its app only works over a short range. So while this is a poor choice for long-distance lovers, it is ideal for those looking to hand over the controls to their partner up close.

The We-Vibe Ditto is a small and compact silicone plug which hooks up to We-Vibe’s We-Connect app for remote fun. It also comes with a remote control, giving you more options for solo or shared play.The We-Vibe Ditto’s flexible neck and contoured base make it super comfortable to wear, which is always appreciated.

As with all We-Vibe toys, the Ditto offers strong and rumbly vibrations. It’s small in size (only 3-inches insertable length) making it beginner-friendly, but it may not be satisfying for fans of larger insertables. Different size variations of this same toy would be great.

The Ditto connects to the We Connect app by Bluetooth, and tends to be fast to connect and reliable in use. We Connect is well designed and user friendly, and works exceptionally well at a distance – even if your lover is in a different country.

We-Vibe makes the list yet again with its incredible Wand. I’m a huge wand fan, and the idea of one that is not only wireless and extremely powerful but also controllable from anywhere is revolutionary.

The Wand by We-Vibe features a host of interesting bonus features including touch-sensitive Smart Silence and the joystick style intensity control. It also comes with two attachments, making it highly versatile as either a clitoral stimulator or a penis stroker.

The one significant downside to the Wand is that, unlike other We-Vibe products I tried, its response times are slow when used with the We-Connect app. It takes about 3 seconds from changing the setting within the app to the toy responding.
