### 5/5 — Top notch Tool

*2025-11-16*

I remember when it came out it was rocky but man as a service manager ..this app just makes it happen for me I give 5 stars … YOU ROCK !

### 3/5 — Landscape Mode!

*2023-10-05, version 323.34.1*

Would be nice if landscape was available for this app. Portrait is great for iPhone but not so much for iPad

### 3/5 — Security

*2023-09-13*

Still no face ID, unbelievable!

### 1/5 — SERIOUSLY?? NO LANDSCAPE FORMAT STILL???

*2022-07-19, version 322.22.2*

YOU GUYS SERIOUSLY RELEASED AN UPDATED VERSION AND STILL DIDNT MAKE IT LANDSCAPE COMPATIBLE???

WHAT THE ACTUAL HECK! THIS APP IS USELESS IN PORTRAIT MODE!

### 4/5 — Feature Request

*2019-07-15*

I use my iPad for most everything, including making changes to client’s systems via the C4 Express App.  I love it. I just wish this app could be viewed in landscape mode in addition to portrait mode so that I don’t have to remove my iPad’s keyboard to use the app. Otherwise, it’s a great app.  Also hope custom programming becomes a feature in the near future as well.

### 5/5 — THIS IS A DEALER APP !!!!!!

*2019-05-14*

Not a user app. This is intended for dealers to configure a system, users can’t get into it nor use any features.

The app works great , you just need to be a Control4 dealer.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2018-03-15, version 2.10.2*

Desperately needs the ability to at very least VIEW programming if not actually change it. Also I don’t see a single reason for the app to not store your login credentials like the pc software does... not doing so just makes the app a right pain to bother using.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2018-02-06, version 2.10.2*

A must tool for any control4 programmer!!

### 5/5 — Great Companion App!

*2016-03-26*

Great app for when us dealers are on the go and need to connect quickly. I can do mobile troubleshooting without having to open my Surface Pro 3. 
GO TEAM DIGITAL INSTALLERS!!!

### 1/5 — Stay away

*2016-01-27*

Bought the Home Edition so that I wouldn't have to be so reliant on my dealer...sad that this app can not be used by the OWNER OF THE SYSTEM!  So many other systems out there that are lower cost with more control.
