I like it but “flip” is broken

I was trying to flip over the dip switches so that switch 1=256 as is sometimes the case but it seems the “flip” function isn’t working. It’s possible I misunderstood the use of that function also.

Otherwise I really like the app and use it often for figuring out absolute addresses.

Seems okay, but doesn't work fully with OS8

The first two pages seem to work fine, but the last two freeze the app. It does give absolute values, which is helpful, but for $1.99, I expect it to fully function.

Letters

An option to change blocks from numerical fixture number 1: 1-6, 26: 151-156 to A: 1-6, Z: 151-156, AA: 157-162 and so on would be nice for rigs that prefer letters.

Doesn't support dimmer doubling?

Unless I'm missing something, this app always assumes your universe is 512 whole number addresses. I can't find ant way of starting universe 2 at 257 which I need to do when I'm dimmer doubling in universe 1.

Settled a debate...

Used this on a gig the other day. Got tired of listening to the house guy and the my producer's ME discuss how to address the antique technobeams while crew stood around with their thumbs up their butts. Unpocketed my iphone, tapped for a few seconds, held it in front of their faces (they were both wrong) and, presto, the job got moving.

THANK YOU!
