*2020-11-05, version 1.5.1*

### 1/5 — Schlimmer als M*ll....

*2020-10-17, version 1.5.1*

Was fuer ein Schrott. Keine M;glichkeit yu testen, keine Preisangabe, auf homepage nichts yu finden, was soll das?
Wollte mein Benning ST755 ueber iPad steuern, alles vergeblich.
Ein Stern ist deutlich yuviel, aber null geht leider nicht...

### 1/5 — So ein Müll !

*2019-04-29, version 1.5.1*

10 Sekunden Verbindung in der Free Version. Dann 10minuten waren auf den nächsten Versuch.
Das hat noch nicht mal das Bild der Steuerung aufgebaut, dann waren die 10 Sekunden wieder vorüber.
Da kann man nicht mal testen ob die kostenpflichtige Software geht.
