This was the industry go-to for a time. Many people likely do not know this, but that developer, Trent Barclay, passed away in January of 2025 after a tough battle with cancer, leaving behind a loving wife and newborn daughter. I think it is unlikely anyone else will ever take over the development of this app. So before you download this app, you should know that it is unsupported and understand that it will continue to become increasingly less usable over time. It is not because the developers do not care. It is because he is no longer with us. Please use a different app and do not review this app poorly due to its unsupported nature. It is an insult to the legacy of a brilliant and talented industry professional who helped all of us in this field so much by sharing this amazing app he created. I never knew him, but for a while my life was a little better because he was in the world. Rest in peace. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2025-11-13, version 2.18* Unfortunately I can no longer access this app. It says my subscription payment has failed. I tried to renew it and it won’t allow me to renew the subscription and the support address leads to a dead website. Very disappointed as the app was great when it worked. ### 1/5 — Abandoned *2025-11-09, version 2.18* This app appears to be abandoned and isn’t functional anymore (at least in Canada). It cannot connect to eos without a paid subscription, but no in-app subscriptions are available. The developer website shows a wix.com error page. ### 5/5 — Incredible! *2025-10-28, version 2.18* This app was amazing! Way better than ETC’s. I’m sorry to hear about the creator’s passing. RIP. This app has been my right hand for so many shows. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Please fix i really need this app !!!! *2025-10-23, version 2.18* Can’t sub Please fix or remove the pay wall ### 2/5 — Subscription error *2025-10-17, version 2.13.3* I am also experiencing the issue of not being able to renew my subscription. Is the app no longer in service? ### 1/5 — Can’t subscribe *2025-10-17, version 2.18* Great app but no longer works due to subscription issue. ### 5/5 — Loved This App *2025-10-16, version 2.18* I’ve used this app loads of times, but unfortunately I didn’t get it on my personal iPad in time. The developer, Trent Barclay, unfortunately passed away earlier this year. Apple also removed this app from the store for new downloads, and the developer’s website has been taken down. Thank you for a wonderful app, Mr. Barclay, may you rest in peace. ### 1/5 — Tried to get a subscription *2025-10-14, version 2.18* Trying to get a sub for the service as it looks really good unable to find it anywhere their website is down as well so don’t even bother downloading it. You can’t use it. ### 5/5 — No Longer Can Subscribe! *2025-10-14, version 2.18* I absolutely LOVE this app and have used it as my primary go-to for many shows. Just started setting up for a new production and can’t re-subscribe or get the app going again. (Seems like same bug as another reviewer sadly) Please help! ## Frequently asked questions about Eos Remote ### What does Eos Remote do?
