Subscription error

I am also experiencing the issue of not being able to renew my subscription. Is the app no longer in service?

Can’t subscribe

Great app but no longer works due to subscription issue.

Response from developer

Hi, thank you for reaching out. The creator of the app passed away, however the app is now available again and will continue to be updated and maintained. The support website is also operational again. Thank you.

Loved This App

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.

No Longer Can Subscribe!

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!

Can’t Subscribe

I can’t subscribe to the app because there is no purchase option. The only option is to adjust my current subscription. Am I doing something wrong? Or is it the app?

Doesn’t work anymore

I have LOVED this app since I discovered it. However, the bug where it asks you to check for subscription started happening to me. Today, right before programming I tried to do it again but it completely stopped working. I had to uninstall the app, try again, and nothing. I had to cancel my subscription, and now it won’t even let me resume the subscription. I hope this gets resolved soon as I love this app, and it’s so sad I can’t use it anymore… :(

Great when it works

Almost every time I start it up, it claims I don’t have an active subscription. I do. I then have to connect to another network with internet access in order for it realise that, before reconnecting to the lighting network. Very tedious.
The support website doesn’t exist so there’s no way to ask for help. Bit disappointing as once it eventually works, it does a great job.

Good app but subscription issue

Love the app and it’s capabilities. The only thing that I dislike as of now is the fact the app checks for subscription whenever I open it. Sometimes I am already on my local network and it’s slows me down immensely to have to swap networks and restore the subscription. Especially when I may not have access to the venue’s internet at the moment the app asks for a subscription. Frustrating.

Wenn sie stabil wär, wär sie toll

Habe die App jetzt einige Tage getestet und entschieden, das Abo nicht zu verlängern. Grund: bei JEDEM starten der App, behauptet die App, es wäre kein Abo gebucht. Also erstmal wieder das WLAN wechseln, damit man Internet hat, um das Abo zu bestätigen, um dann wieder zurück zu wechseln. Damit könnte ich ja vielleicht noch leben. Aber: die App verliert einfach ständig die Verbindung zum Pult (in unserem Fall Element, aktuellste Software). Das WLAN ist stabil und im vollem Empfang, aber die App will einfach nicht. Die Magic Sheets wurden wie beschrieben importiert, haben auch einen kurzen Augenblick gut funktioniert, jetzt meckert die App jedesmal mit irgendwelchen ominösen Fehlermeldungen rum. Ist mir echt zu anstrengend im hektischen Bühnenalltag mich noch mit so wehwehchen rumzuärgern, da bin ich schneller, wenn ich zwischen Bühne und Pult hin und her laufe.

LAN issue

When I’m paying 30$ per year for this app, and best practice is to use a lighting console in an environment without internet access, having the app constantly trying to check if I have the subscription becomes a barrier for use. Each time I want to use it, I have to remember to turn off WiFi/or switch networks, load the app, hit “restore purchases”, then again reconnect to the lan network my console is on, and then finally I can use it. There has got to be a way for it to check maybe once a month? Maybe have it check in, and if the user has a valid subscription, set a variable in the app to the date their subscription would expire or renew. If the app sees the variable and the date stored in the variable has not been reached, keep it enabled. If the variable has a date that has passed, for it to check if the subscription has been renewed and update the variable. That way, you only need to check in with the server every once in a while

Response from developer

I understand your frustration, it frustrates me immensely. This is a bug that I have been chasing to quite some time, but it only presents for a few people, and I haven’t been able to replicate it at my end. Also, subscriptions are managed by Apple so there is only so much I can investigate. The work around seems to be to delete the app and all your devices on the apple id then re-download the app. I understand this isn’t ideal and if it doesn’t work, please contact me at lightingremotes.com Kind Regards, Trent

The best app for the eps family desks

I used this app daily personally as a tech but also implemented it into a venue throughout the iPads. The use of magic sheets is incredible too

$$$$$$$$$

Ein Pult für 60000 € und dann muss man für sowas noch ein Abo lösen!

Response from developer

Dies ist eine Drittanbieter-App und das Abonnement zahlt für den Support und die laufende Entwicklung einer sehr Nischen-App. Ich habe keine Verbindung zu ETC. ETC bietet die iRFR-App an und es gibt auch kostenlose Vorlagen für touchOSC.

Eos Remote

As a programmer, this is a valuable tool, but it seems to be missing 1 key ingredient. There is no live table to be found. I still have not found a way to reference feedback from a fixture. A live table or live summary would be necessary for this to function on a movie set!

Response from developer

I understand and I wish that I could provide this functionality. Unfortunately there is no way at this time to get the required data and stay in sync with the console/s. Maybe it would be worth looking into a compact nomad setup as a solution to your problem.

Works perfectly

This app is much better than iRFR. This is a must get app for any eos users. I recommend using in console mode with record options turned on. The app provides most, if not all the functionality of the eos family software.

This app is perfect for those that use ETC Nomad and a great controller for those who have a console. It makes day to day jobs much easier.
Highly recommend

A Must-Have for EOS Family Production Houses

Not just a completely mobile Ion console in your hand, this app is easily navigable by Production Electricians, Programmers and LD’s alike.

I’d like to give a special shout-out to the developer, Trent, for speedy and effective “out-of-the-box” Tech Support to get us up and running in minutes. Sealed the “should I subscribe” deal for me!

Useless if using LAN

It used to be great. I don’t know what update this happened in but now it’s incredible frustrating and useless on a job site using a local area network. It wants to check for a subscription randomly every 5 to 20 minutes now and if it can’t (i.e. not connected to the internet because you’re on a LAN with the console) it disconnects. You’ll have to leave the app, reconnect to the internet, go back into the app, restore purchases, leave the app again, go back to your local network, go back to the app, and reconnect with the console every time. Been using this app for years with the monthly subscription and never had this issue until now. Beware if using a local area network

Response from developer

I'm sorry this is happening. It's an incredibly frustrating bug and I am hoping to have it fixed in the next version (2.13).

This app for Eos

I absolutely loveee this app. It has saved me so much time and error.

Great app. Wish I could buy it out right.

Awesome app, I just wish it could be bought without a subscription. The app keeps losing my license data and I need to connect back to wifi to get it working and then back to my rfr router. Can be a pain sometimes, but other then that it’s flawless

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback. Please contact me at lightingremotes.com or via the support link about your licensing issue.
