Good, Except Stability
I would love this app, if I could ever get to using it. Trying to make any changes to my panels is the longest, most frustrating process I’ve ever had with an app. There are bugs that will randomly change the text in buttons that you’re not editing, icons disappear randomly, multiple buttons will randomly be created and won’t go away until you quit the app. There seems to be no function to undo, which means each time a bug happens (every 10 seconds), you have to quit the app and go back in to do anything. If you use a pre-made panel, then this app is awesome! If you are like me and want to customize your shortcuts, have fun...

I was a Quadro app user...
Thanks for this. From the bottom of my heart. Seriously. Don’t abandoned this development please. Keep going
One of the best
If you want your favourite software shortcuts (key commands ) right in front of you in a nice tidy row on the iPad screen then download this app. It starts with you needing to set up and assign your most used tools to a key, for this you must look at your softwares list of key commands and arrange them in action pad. it works beautifully

It was hard to setup but so cool when it worked
Got this because I got tired of typing chat commands in games. Also I set it up to do dice rolls only in my specific discord channel for rpg games. The photoshop tools are also perfect. It was worth every penny for this graphic designer and nerd.
Super Useful... and Evolving
I’m really impressed with Action Pad, especially since it is an affordable, living, breathing product that continues to evolve and get better. (The addition of Jump Buttons in the latest version which allows you to easily link panels is a fantastic addition).
I use it primarily to send hot keys to my recording apps on my Mac, and the flexibility of Action Pad in creating buttons for different needs is really quite impressive. On the down side, the panel editor could really use undo and redo buttons, and the editor crashes fairly frequently. But since the app saves every action as you make them, you never lose anything beyond your most recent edit. When not in edit mode, Action Pad is very stable interacting with apps on my Mac.
All in all a great app, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds.

Great app, with great support
I have used many launchpad and remote app for mac and by far it’s the most customizable app. I wish i can determine the size of buttons by percentage instead of fixed pixels to make it compatible for both my iPad and iPhone. But it’s my go to shortcut app for my adobe products and Anki.
Also the support team of app is amazing and i have got reply within hours.

Great with an issue...
This is really useful but I’m having an issue. Shift and CMD modifiers have no effect preceding a mouse click. So, for example, I can’t press and hold an on-screen shift button while selecting multiple items in a list with my mouse cursor and have it highlight them all the way I expected to.
Simply doesn’t work
Useless
Great app with great support
I wanted to write a somewhat complex macro for Final Cut Pro X. Initially, ActionPad Server (the Mac component) didn’t perform as expected. I dropped the developer an email. He was back to me in 15 minutes with fix already uploaded on his website. A download, a reinstall and a reboot after granting ActionPad Server access to Accessibility ... it all worked perfectly. Hey, bugs happen. But customer service like this is hard to beat! And for $1.99, it’s a steal!
