Difficult

This app and corresponding interface inside Protools requires you, the user to know a lot of things (and terminology) about how these things connect and work. Unless you’ve had someone show you, good luck. The help menu in your computer will take you to dead links. Avid has done little to improve since its last since the arrival of its most recent owners.

This is hot garbage

All of a sudden, I now need iOS 18 to run the app? That means I now need to buy a new iPad this is BS. What’s wrong with iOS 17? Oh, y’all wrote it off? Ok bet

Rarely works

I bought an ipad to work with my setup and only had success twice in the last 3 years

Soft keys disappeared

Updated to the latest version on my iPhone and Econ app and Avid Control connects but the soft keys menu is now blank…. When it works it’s great, but this app always seems to have issues.

Works great (protools)

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.

Updates

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

What happened?!?

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

I love this Eucon app

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.

Connection issues with this update

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

Version mismatch

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?

Works well with Cubase

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

Ótimo app!

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.

Works like a charm.

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.

An Impossible Solution

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.

App just stopped working!

Not sure if this was because of the recent updates but what was working surprisingly smoothly is an absolute nightmare. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling — the connectivity just doesn’t pair. Can you guys please fix this??

Please fix this app

Just got a notification to update both desktop and app did that now my iPad will no longer connect. I’ve tried everything. This app is a joke Avid knows this is dodgy, but will never fix it. And for whatever reason my phone works my iPad is newer than my phone. My phone is at 13. My iPad is brand new.

Update

Avid doesn't update app causing version mismatch

Awful ecosystem

Just buy a USB MIDI controller and move on. The ipad and Mac app both install and appesr to run fine. Problem is the entire system is dreadful and horribly unintuitive, with Avid giving practically zero help on how you actually connect this software together. Maybe if you’re a computer nerd you might make it work but I’m a sound enginer not an IT technician. If I could give you zero stars Avid, I would.

Version mismatch

both computer and phone are up to date

SMH….Here we go again

Eucon is the worst. Can’t connect to iPad, even after following the most vague directions one could give…… Why does this have to be so difficult?!
