### 5/5 — Absolutely love it!

*2014-09-02, version 1.10*

I love hearing "wait did you just do that with your phone..." I would like to see a fade up rather than a slam on for dimmer check (to save lamps). And please bring the % back to dimmer check as well.

### 5/5 — Simple interface, works great!

*2014-01-19, version 1.10*

I'm using this in a large auditorium space with an eDMX1 connected to traditional EDI dimmers. It works very well!

### 5/5 — Just what the doctor ordered!

*2013-12-10, version 1.10*

This is the best stand alone iPhone console!  I like the simplicity of the whole interface.  Great job!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2012-06-17, version 1.10*

It's dose just what it says. Works very well. Great for the cost.
