### 4/5 — Great – minor improvements welcome though!

*2026-05-26*

An overall great app, that being said it is not without faults. The connection system can be a bit buggy at times when not using the default connection, but otherwise once connected works fine. My most wanted feature is keyboard shortcuts analogous to those in ETCnomad, which would considerably speed up many operations. Looking forward to seeing where it goes!

### 3/5 — Channel levels

*2026-05-15*

Cannot see live channel levels

### 4/5 — É o favorito

*2024-11-13, version 4.1.4*

Funciona bem com os consoles da ETC o layout é o mesmo da mesa. Nas mesas com fader motorizado responde bem preciso.
Quando tiverem os magic sheets interativos ai vai ficar redondo.

### 2/5 — Tolle Funktionen, miserable Akkuoptimierung

*2024-11-02*

Ich kann die komplette ETC-Konsole steuern, was toll ist. Leider ist mein iPhone 15 Pro Akku nach einem halben Arbeitstag leer und ich kann nicht weiter arbeiten. Sehr frustrierend.

### 4/5 — Fonctionne très bien et peut évoluer

*2024-01-14*

L’application est parfaite, répond à beaucoup de besoins. 
Les différentes catégories sont logiques et bien ordonnées.

Il manque peut être deux fonctionnalités pour la rendre extrêmement puissante :

- pouvoir afficher ses Custom Directs Sélect ( l’ergonomie tactile de l’iPad s’y prête à merveille ! Et cela nous éviterait de jongler entre plusieurs pages de Direct Select.)

- pouvoir afficher ses magic sheet ( cela rendrait l’application surpuissante et offrirait un potentiel infini de programmation de magic sheet optimisées pour tablettes et téléphones). 🙏🙏🙏 pitié pensez-y ! 🙏🙏🙏😇

### 4/5 — Very useful, not quite perfect

*2023-06-05*

As a tool for testing lighting fixtures and checking lighting states from stage or away from the console, this app is excellent. Theoretically it could be used to operate a cue based show from anywhere onstage or in the auditorium. Even programming a show is possible, but incredibly time consuming compared to a physical console.

My biggest issue so far has been the lack of magic sheets. The layout of the app is fine and its functions are very useful, but there are no magic sheets and palette menus. I use magic sheets a lot, when testing fixtures before a show or when tweaking a state after rehearsals, I can simply select groups, macros or channels and have control straight away without needing a physical LX plan in front of me. Having the various palettes as a tab and having a live magic sheet tab, I don’t think I could fault this app at all.

### 2/5 — Rotation bug

*2022-02-13*

Whenever I turn my phone into landscape the app completely freezes up and doesn’t respond.

### 3/5 — Better but needs work

*2019-05-22*

Connects immediately now which is great.
The ML controls are nice. 
 The direct selects should be able to configure where more than one type is displayed at once. 
The current layout is inefficient. 

Most importantly I don’t see any way to label. This is very important to me.

### 4/5 — Os botões de faders poderiam ser maiores

*2017-11-24, version 2.1.1*

O aplicativo funciona muito bem nas mesas ETC ION.
Vale a pena a compra, facilita o trabalho do técnico.
Principalmente quando se está no palco ou plateia 

O único porém são os controles dos faders que poderiam ser um pouco mais largo para facilitar a operação.

### 5/5 — Une télécommande qui tient dans la poche !

*2017-10-23*

Compatible avec les pupitres de la famille Eos à partir de la version 2.6

Idéal pour le theatre où il est difficile de faire acheter une télécommande tellement pratique pour envoyer du plateau ou d'une passerelle un projecteur, un groupe ou une memoire.

Idéal avec des machines en gros festival pour rappeler ces palettes du plateau, vérifier le focus d' un gobo...

Cette application reprend toutes les fonctions de la RFR avec en plus le nom des fonctions sur les touches.
Attention, il faut ajouter à son installation une borne wifi, configurer l'iPhone en IP fixe.
