Anachronistic app

No support for Apple Silicon after half a decade. Website stopped updating copyright after 2022. Completely worthless old app from a different era from a dev who doesn’t give a damn anymore.

Not good

I downloaded to connect to windows but It wasn't compatible with windows. Disappointed. Would like a refund

Doesn't work on latest MacOS

My MacBook runs Sonoma 14.2.1 and this fails to connect. Also my emails to Avatron tech support were not answered. I don't know if this company is in business any more, they don't seem to update theirvsoftware to keep it compatible with latest OS, so beware.

Doesn’t work with new MacBooks

I downloaded this app thinking the reviews looked great. I have a MacBook that is about 2 years old and an iPad that is 5 years old. The app doesn’t work at all and it asks me to connect via a USB which has NOT existed on Macs for five years.

I find it shocking that Apple allows an app this out of date to be sold on the App Store.
