What's New in FlareCON

3.0.2

February 9, 2023

- Now compatible with Original FlareCON Air.

User reviews

It’s like they tried to make it bad

Quite possibly the least user intuitive app to use, and that’s if/when it decides to work. The lights are great, but this app renders them useless. I have the older version on an older iPad and won’t upgrade the OS simply because of needing that older app.

broke

still don’t work

you’d think they’d at least let me have the old verizon than world with my original FlareCon bit. popes. they say this works but it never connects. you’d think a comment like Chauvet would care..

Pathetic!

It literally NEVER works!!!

Highly Disappointed!!

This latest release just set my ability to manage my Chauvet lights to zero. I DJ six events a week and my lighting was a huge selling point until CHAUVET complete failed me with this disastrous version release. I’ve invested over $17K in up lights only to witness their app render them practically useless to programming. Test, fix, and test again before releasing apps that do not work. This is totally unacceptable.
