No longer working

This app appears to be no longer supported. It won’t discover/connect to Videohub devices on local networks. Please update!

Not updated in many years

This app is out of date by many years and not useable.

Only 8 Outputs Available :-(

Functionally this is a great app, but the bottom row where the Outputs are, only has 8 slots. You can swipe to get another 8, but the buttons are blank. Using this with a 40x40 Videohub is a bummer because you can only access 8 of the 40 outputs!

It's pretty great functionality for the first 8 outputs. Easy navigation and settings. Being able to walk around on set with an iPad and route signal is fantastic. But you can really only use it for 20% of the Videohub's capability.

If I could access all 40 outputs, I'd give this a 5 star, 100% rating, but math is forcing me to give it a rating more appropriate to what it delivers.

Doesnt work with 20x20

If you have the 20x20 Videohub, this app will not work for you. I have had no luck with any of my 20x20 video hub routers and using this app

Does not work with iOS 12 or 13

Come on, guys. It should not be up to the customer to develop a control app and keep it up to date. So far the videoHub is not proving to function as expected, especially when it comes to the controls.
This app loads a bunch of blank tiles with no settings or setup options to get connected to a videoHub.
