Update on 11/4/2025 not working
iPhone 13 And IOS 18.6.2 and this useful App Is o longer working. When it starts it shows the arrow controls but settings and all the other buttons are not working. I can’t control my mount anymore. This is the worst update in the history of smartphone updates. A totally useless App. Makes me ditch ioptron altogether. Pity because the mechanicsn of the mount is very good but without a good software is like running a PC with DOS.

Horrible app. Utterly Useless
So sorry to be so blunt, but while other astro vendors build well tuned apps, with great user interface, that are intuitive and actually work, this app, and especially this latest major update, is completely useless, impossible to understand, location settings don’t reflect real location, settings are not saved, confusing acronyms, text displayed in chines in places, which makes no sense, click on certain options does nothing, no in app feedback showing a change tool effect etc…incredibly disappointing considering the high cost of ioptron mounts!!!!

Non-functional
No idea what has happened to this once useful app. Under IOS26 it appears to be non-functional. None of the settings work, no targets available, no reticule, no connectivity to my iOptron mounts. I’ve deleted and re-installed the app but this has made no difference to the outcome. Right now it’s completely junk on my iPad. If it’s not fixed it’s going to be deleted.

Application is bricked
2025_10_29 I set up the SkyHunter in EQ mode to track Comet A6 Lemmon. iOptron Commander had to be redownloaded and the new update reverted to Version 1.0. Very primitive and mostly non functional. I am very disappointed.
Won’t connect to mount
Will not connect to cem40ec mount
Works Great, would be even greater if you could add the following:
This app is a great way for controlling my mount quickly and easily via its wifi network when at remote locations. It works in both English and Chinese. It is fast.
Request:
1) add the ability to connect to my home network and connect to my mount which is already connected to my home network.
2) add a PARK mount button.
Thank you.

Text bug
The app isn’t bad and responds quickly but not only does the text switch from English to what I presume is Chinese but the app also doesn’t work unless you sync your time and location every time you connect to the mount.
