### 5/5 — Works great (protools)

*2026-05-13*

Once you install the eucontrol drivers and get the computer side figured out, the app connects fast and automatically, there's no latency, and all the functions I need are there. I attach my phone to my mic stand so I can quickly press record while I'm far from my computer.

### 2/5 — Updates

*2026-05-02*

Version Mismatch  Apple has the new release but not sync to all devices in the same account

### 1/5 — What happened?!?

*2026-04-25, version 2026.4.0*

Used previously and it was amazing. Now it refuses to connect on any combination of devices. Avid Control and EUControl are different version numbers. For a company like Avid that is so proven, gobsmacked that this is 100% useless

### 5/5 — I love this Eucon app

*2026-04-24, version 2026.4.0*

I use this on 3 Avid S1 units with Amazon Fire tablets plus an ipad pro.  The functionality this app brings is a fantastic game changer.

### 2/5 — Connection issues with this update

*2026-04-10, version 2026.3.0*

This latest update doesn’t correlate with the latest EuControl version. No more connection.

EuControl version is 2026.3.0.43
App version is 2026.3.0.10

### 1/5 — Version mismatch

*2026-01-20, version 2025.12.0*

Latest Eucontrol from is 2025.12.0.36. Latest Avid Control is 2025.12.0.12. When will 2025.12.0.36 be available in the App Store?

### 5/5 — Works well with Cubase

*2025-12-25, version 2025.12.0*

Excellent extension, works well with Cubase Pro 14 on PC.

### 4/5 — Ótimo app!

*2025-08-11*

O app quando está funcionando é ótimo. As vezes é bem difícil conectar, a conexão não é tão estável, mas quando está funcionando é um app bastante funcional no Pro Tools.

### 5/5 — Works like a charm.

*2025-08-03*

Definitely a pro level addition to ProTools. Once you understand it’s behavior and how to operate it works like a friggin charm. Extremely happy with this free pro level controller.

### 1/5 — An Impossible Solution

*2025-07-22*

After years of failing at navigating AVID products, I have acceptance that sometimes the problem just might be me.

This app has been impossible to connect. I’ve tried a dozen or so different workarounds presented as solutions by other confused loyalists.

This thing is 100% unknown because I can NEVER get a connection.

**Developer response:** Please post on the Avid DUC or Official Avid Control Surfaces Facebook group...we can help
