Unfortunately unusable

I purchased this app to hopefully use as a remote for Luna. I see it hasn’t been updated in a while so I wanted to give my recent experience. The app loads up fine, however, it immediately stalls and locks up after you touch anything on screen. You can touch something once, but trying to touch anything after that causes the app to freeze and the only thing you can is close it. The settings button doesn’t work at all even if it’s the first thing you touch. I’m glad it wasn’t expensive as it was a complete waste of money on the current iOS. I recommend you find something else.
