Very Useful
I was looking for an app just like this. Perfect! đ
Theatre Technician
Fantastic app, must have for any theatre or live events technician!
AV Buddy
Been using this app for many years! Excellent app highly recommended.
Cool app still a little way to go
Crashing in the current version on the drawing, Iâm still trying to work it out. Could be laid out better, buttons labelled, or maybe itâs just because itâs faulty at the moment and thatâs why itâs not working properly.
Measurements for outlets should be to the centre of outlets not the edge on the drawing tool.
Diagrams are awesome but things like the Rj connector could be better, yes knowing the PIN number is great but itâs better to show a coloured diagram, if you search rj45 connector diagram on Google youâll see what I mean.
When doing sound tests, the button you push for the test doesnât highlight, so if you push it you have to remember which one to press stop on because itâs not highlighted.
A lot of helpful stuff in here pretty awesome Iâm impressed, but still a bit of polishing to go.

Fantastic update
I love the new AR mode. I can see myself using this on every job I do now: walk into a room with the client and show them what it looks like. Excellent.
The updated tools and cable references look great too.
Only minor issue is the throw distance calculation: in my case I normally know the screen width plus the distance to the projector and need to determine the correct lens to get me there.

Outdated app, video output doesnât work
I was recommended this app by a fellow professional, who had heard about it not used it.
I spent my $.99, and found that the test display function does not detect even a basic display.
There is some commonly available information included, is it worth $.99?
I wouldnât do it again.
It would be nice to see that they would come up with a more recent update instead of a computer game, found on their website.
They have a pro version, for iPad.
I am not going to spend $1.99 to see that it doesnât work as well.

Response from developer
Hello Gentle Giant II. Sorry to read that you are having trouble with AVBuddy. I'm actually in the middle of a BIG update that will include additional connectors, calculators, AV training, tools and bug fixes. I have just tested AV Buddy on my iPhone 11 and connected it to a 55" Samsung consumer-grade TV via an Apple A1348 Lightning AV adapter and a Kramer HDMI cable, it connected perfectly and all test patterns are displayed. I'll try to replicate your problem and hope to find a fix. Commonly found information is included and can be found on the internet, but AV Buddy is a way of collating that information to make it easier to find. Plus AV Buddy has a lot more, for example, AV Tools and AV Calculators. Thanks again for downloading, I'll be updating ASAP.
Great training tool
I just started working as a tech. This is a great addition to my tool bag. So far, it contains all the connectors Iâve used in the field. I was referred to this app from a veteran tech. I recommend it too!
Response from developer
Thank you Great Scanner App.
Pour application
Less then the half of the connectors in the market
Response from developer
Hello Alerale, Sorry to hear that you are unhappy with AV Buddy. There will be a BIG update coming very soon with additional connectors and much much more. Thank you for downloading.
Must have
All techs should have this. Great app!
Response from developer
Thank you Wbill1111. Update coming soon!!
Great app
Lots of great info and handy functions. I tell every apprentice/rookie tech to get this app.
Awesome App
Easy to use, but packed full of useful information. A must have for AV professionals!
Good app
Pretty good for non-technical people.
Nice work, very handy.
Really good useful app. Helps me out a lot at work. Thanks.
Updated nice version
Since its been updated this app is now faster and does not crash at all. Ive been using it at work and used the projector calc too. The calc shows you the min, max and middle throw distances of the projector with a certain lens if available. The projector calc does not show you height of the projector like the previous comment. Maybe using it wrong ? Anyhow keep up the good work. Thank you

Very handy app but!
I've been in the av/installation industry for years now and this app is probably the closest thing you can find out there that really works. All audio diagrams are easy to understand if you are in a jam trying to work out balanced to unbalanced audio this is very clear and handy. Anyway I install 100s of projectors a year and wanted to put this app to the test with throw distance and heights , but found out after putting in the measurements of my screen that it didn't calculate the distance or heights in the yellow chart as it should. This is disappointing because that was my prime reason for this app, hope this gets Fixed soon as I'm looking forward to ready testing this out.

Great app!
I've been looking for a real AV app for quite some time. Just got it!
Not to bad but a bit limited
Am an AV Tech/installer who is sometimes sent to site with limited or incorrect info so I thought I'd try this app.
On the whole it's ok but especially now with the frequent use of ultra short throw projectors (many of which are found in the app) the vertical height from the top of the image to a reference point on the projector is crucial. This is to avoid keystone which greatly degrades image quality and focus on such models due to the way the mirrors etc work. Given many ultra short throws are wall bracket mounted with very limited or no height adjust its important to know this info.
Cheers if this could be included.
