### 5/5 — good

*2026-06-26*

very good❤️

### 5/5 — Magic Show New User

*2026-04-26*

I have just started using Go Button. I could not be happier with the functionality and ease of use. A huge shout out and thank you to all who came together to make this amazing APP!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2026-03-10*

Impossible to criticise the free version. I’m pleased the bug that could make a cue look like it was playing but actually be silent has been identified and fixed. If the pro version could send OSC as well as just receive it then I’d be more tempted to pay for it.

### 5/5 — Top / Pro Version

*2026-01-16*

Ich habe nach kurzer Überlegungen die Pro Version gekauft. Tolle App!

### 5/5 — This is this one!

*2025-11-03*

I can’t rate this app highly enough. It’s made running shows on my own, live on stage possible. It’s just so easy to edit stuff. It’s totally flexible, adaptable, friendly, exportable…. Bought the pro licence and now I use it for all my shows. Thank you you clever developers you!!!

### 4/5 — Love it - just 1 thing…

*2025-10-13*

The only thing I would change is for a played cue to change colors once it has been played.  That way you can tell where you left off!

### 3/5 — Out of the Box

*2025-10-05*

The concept is awesome but ease of use out of the box needs tweaking in my opinion.  I’m using my one free event to determine whether to purchase or not.  Thanks.

**Developer response:** We appreciate the feedback! Please write us using the Contact Support screen or email support@figure53.com and let us know your thoughts. ~BL

### 5/5 — Been controlling my shows for years.

*2025-08-28*

Go Button is hands-down one of the best apps I’ve used for running sound cues on stage. It’s reliable, professional, and perfect for live performances. I use it during The Reality Twister Comedy Hypnosis Show, and it keeps everything running smooth so I can focus on entertaining the audience. If you’re a performer who needs flawless audio playback, Go Button is a total game-changer.

### 5/5 — Love this app!

*2025-08-07*

I’ve used the app both as a free user and a paid user. Never have been let down. I’ e been able to give it to non-tech people and they ran the show.

### 5/5 — Love this program!

*2025-06-17*

Been using it for years now on multiple shows. This is a great program. Professional quality sound cue system for very little money. Highly flexible; the more you dig into it, the more you realize how sophisticated it can be if you want. But it is simple enough for the beginner. Cannot recommend highly enough.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 3.3.10 — 2026-03-26

- Fixes several issues when presenting the Contact Support screen.
- Fixes a crash when attempting to load a show that has a large number of go actions.
- Fixes auto-scrolling in the cue and hit edit screens when dragging the waveform start/end and fade handles.
- Fixes a bug that could affect the order of go actions after certain batch edit operations.
- Fixes the appearance of cells that glow yellow to cover the entire width of the cell.
- The "Go Actions" edit screen now shows a gear icon next to Custom go actions.

### 3.3.9 — 2025-10-28

- Go Button now attempts to maintain playback if an external audio output gets disconnected. This fixes many cases where a show would become unresponsive or where cues would appear to be playing but no audio could be heard. Momentary disconnections (like a loose cable) may be unnoticed, while longer disconnections may switch playback to the device speaker until the output device reconnects. A new preference in the Sidebar > Preferences > Audio lets you disable this to restore the previous behavior, if needed. This preference is enabled by default, and we recommend most users leave it on.
- Audio playback is now less likely to be interrupted by certain system alert sounds.
- Adds support for more lenient entry of time durations. For example, entering "61:23" will format to "1:01:23.0" and entering "123" will format to "02:03.0".
- The Elapsed Show Timer now supports counting down from a duration greater than 1 hour.
- The "Exit Loop" go action is now automatically skipped in a running cue that has already exited its loop, whether from previously triggering the "Exit Loop" action or after a fixed-count loop begins its final pass.
- In the cue list, the "Exit Loop" go action text below the progress bar now displays a checkmark after the cue has exited its loop.
- Empty cues now present an alert when saving if Duck Others is enabled but the cue has no duration, since Duck Others only works if it has a duration.
- You can now reset the Sidebar > OSC Control Settings > TCP/UDP Listening Port and UDP Reply Port to their defaults just by clearing the current value.
- Fixes a bug that could prevent go actions from working correctly in a cue that was restarted.
- Fixes a bug that caused pasted cues and hits to not work correctly immediately after a cut & paste.
- Fixes a crash that could happen when adding or reordering hits.
- Fixes a bug that caused the selection checkmark to sometimes disappear on selected hits after changing pages in Edit Mode.
- Refines the background color of broken hits for better contrast in light and dark modes.
- Selecting "Duplicate Hits" from the gear menu in Edit Mode no longer allows adding more than the maximum number of hits allowed in a show.
- The background colors in the OSC Control Settings screen now restore correctly after glowing yellow when receiving incoming OSC data.
- Fixes the enabled state of several navigation bar buttons when running on iOS 26.

### 3.3.8 — 2024-10-21

- The audio waveform view is now hidden when editing a cue or hit that does not have a media file assigned to it, aka an "empty" cue or hit. 
- Fixes a bug that prevented re-opening the media picker after clearing the media file on the Edit screen.
- Fixes a bug that caused the on-screen keyboard to immediately dismiss when editing a text field on newer versions of iOS.
- Fixes a bug that caused audio waveform images to fail to render on newer versions of iOS.

### 3.3.7 — 2024-09-09

- Fixes a bug that prevented the "missing media file" error from clearing after re-establishing a link to a Music library track.
- Fixes a crash that could occur when using the Tab key to navigate between Edit screen text fields.
- Fixes a crash that could occur when viewing the Documents tab in the media picker.
- Fixes truncating of alert message text on certain device sizes.
- Cues and hits that have lost their link to a Music library track now display the error "missing music library item" to distinguish from "missing media file" errors for files expected to be in the app Documents folder.
- Improves logging to help troubleshoot missing Music library tracks.

### 3.3.6 — 2023-10-05

- Fixes a crash that could occur when tapping on the cue list when "Cue List Double-Tap Protection" is enabled.
