### 3/5 — Flame

*2025-09-30, version 1.12*

comment se procure t'on la version "Flame" de Light Rider ?

### 2/5 — Fade preset

*2025-09-22, version 1.12*

L’appli est très bien faite, très pratique. Le seul problème pour moi c’est qu’on ne peut pas faire de fade ou cross fade entre chaque Preset…. Donc quand je l’utilise pour des concerts, le changement d’état lumineux (preset) est trop brusque, donc inutilisable.
Une mise à jour serait la bienvenue. Merci par avance.

### 3/5 — Pytanie

*2024-10-07, version 1.12*

Kiedy dodacie język  polski🧐

### 4/5 — Gr8

*2024-08-30, version 1.12*

Very nice but I wish you could add ability to chase between the scenes so we could get more complex ideas implemented

### 2/5 — Kauf wiederherstellen nicht möglich

*2024-07-24, version 1.12*

Ich habe die App viele Jahre erfolgreich genutzt und fand sie super. Ich hatte auch die Art-Net Lifetime Lizenz. Leider lässt diese sich jetzt nicht mehr wiederherstellen. Es wird „Verbindung zum Store wird hergestellt“ angezeigt, dann passiert nichts mehr. Support-Ticket könnte nicht helfen. Leider ist die App damit für mich nutzlos geworden.

### 4/5 — Soddisfatto ma...

*2023-09-07, version 1.12*

É sicuramente ben fatta!uso questa app con una showtec net 2/3 e devo dire che risponde bene ai comandi. Carica in un lampo i Progetti,molto semplice ed intuitiva. Per non parlare del bellissimo Wi-Fi.Spero si continui nello sviluppo e di aver investito bene comprando artnet. Il “soddisfatto ma”.... Riscrivo e continuo dopo due anni. Io personalmente non capisco perché non aggiungete (sviluppatori) un tasto record per permetterci ti poter personalizzare le scene in tutto e per tutto. Cioè voglio dire, non è possibile che sul droide esiste un’ app che gestisce sia arthnet e tutto il resto come se nulla fosse. L ho pagata 3€ e mi fa il lavoro al pari della grandMA. 3€ euro ragazzi! Voi ne chiedete 150 di € e non siamo liberi di dar sfogo alla nostra fantasia e/o esigenze .Se non ci credete controllate voi stessi. Gplay e cercate arthnet. Si è vero questa app è in continuo aggiornamento e non c’è da sbattersi tanto per far andare due luci…ma rimane sempre limitata a ciò che costruite voi. Noi non abbiamo nessun potere di modifica.

### 3/5 — Background Mode fehlt

*2023-02-10, version 1.12*

Ich würde die App gerne bei Live-Auftritten verwenden, dazu müsste sie aber im Hintergrund weiterlaufen, da ich im Vordergrund ein Notenprogramm haben muss. Andere Apps (z.B. BIAS FX etc.) können das, da gibt es eine Setup- Einstellung für Background Mode.

### 3/5 — Update Fehler!

*2023-01-15, version 1.12*

Seit dem neuen Update vor ca nem Monat, kann ich leider keine Presets mehr speichern!!! Das ist ein Riesen Problem! Wenn man lange auf dem gewünschten Preset drauf bleibt, erscheint das Pop Up Fenster nicht mehr! Bitte um Update!!!

### 2/5 — ADJ Focus Spot 2X

*2022-08-22, version 1.11*

Niestety nie działa połowa funkcji.. rotate gobo, prism, sound to light.. wszystko trzeba robić z poziomu fixtures i ustawiać gotowe sceny.. pisałem do supportu w tej sprawie pół roku temu i do teraz brak aktualizacji. Specjalnie wybrałem komercyjne głowy, z myślą o tym, ze nie będzie z nimi kłopotów, a tu niestety rozczarowanie.. Dam 5 gwiazdek jak naprawią błędy.

### 4/5 — Gute App aber Probleme mit Varytec Hero Serie

*2022-06-05, version 1.11*

Nutze die Varytec Hero 715 Hex und den Hero 140 mit der App. Leider gibt es da ein paar Probleme. Zum einen kann man die Farbe und die Geräte nur zum leuchten bringen wenn man den Color Marcro Modus manuell hochzieht und zum anderen regiert die Farbmischung sehr schleppend. Beim Hero 140 funktioniert das Farbrad für die 100 w LED garnicht und man erhält nur einen weißen Gobo Strahl. Prismen und Gobo Rotation ist auch eher schlecht. Einzig die Wash LEDs wechseln passend die Farben.

### 3/5 — Rearrange presets

*2022-04-09, version 1.11*

Let us rearrange presets. While we’re at it let us color code the preset buttons.

### 2/5 — App and hardware have the potential to be great but not there yet

*2021-11-26, version 1.09*

Been using this along with the LR512 since it was released and it has great potential, but has always had bugs. The current bug which I reported when this version was released in June means the sound to light feature doesn’t work. I was told in June there 3rd party developers were working on the issue and then told there was a major redevelopment due later this year, well a new Wi-Fi version of the LR512 has been released but there is no iOS update and no fix to the issue

### 4/5 — DMX lighting

*2021-08-10, version 1.09*

Absolutely love this app but only issue I have is that some of the files don’t work with the lights there meant to and sometimes the app takes a little fit after the recent update where I have continuously restore my app purchase for it to work witch is a bit of a pain

### 3/5 — Principes bons mais finitions qui laissent à désirer

*2021-06-04, version 1.09*

Le principe de l'application est génial cependant il y a quelques problèmes assez énervants qui montrent un léger assez-aller dans le développement. Le principal problème étant la mauvaise gestion des lumières qui ont un unique canal DMX pour les couleurs (et pas 3 canaux RGB). Exemple : EVO SPOT 180 - EVOLITE.
Pour ces lumières, l'essentiel des programmes liés à la couleur (partie droite de Light Rider ex : chaser), ne fonctionnent pas tel que voulu : ces lumières restent constamment allumées, PIRE : elles oscillent entre la valeur du canal couleur sélectionné (ex rouge valeur 23) et la valeur 0, c'est à dire le blanc... L'effet est donc catastrophique, car on se retrouve avec de la lumière blanche dans le show ce qui est exactement le contraire de ce qui est voulu ! Solution : les programmes couleurs devraient avoir une action sur le canal dimmer entre chaque transition couleur ou noir. J'en ai parlé à Nicolodie malheureusement ils font le choix de se concentrer sur le dev d'une nouvelle appli plutôt que de corriger les soucis existant sur cette version....

### 4/5 — Bof

*2021-01-17, version 1.06*

Depuis la mise à jour , je n’arrive plus à la wifi help me !

### 3/5 — THIS NEW UPDATE WONT LET ME CONNECT

*2020-12-16, version 1.06*

Hadn’t updated since oct 22;2020

Same for myDMX go

### 1/5 — Do not buy

*2022-11-10, version 1.11*

Spent $129 and app crashes after 10 seconds….

### 1/5 — Not usable without internet access

*2022-08-26, version 1.11*

If you purchase the in-app Art Net license it can only be used if you open the app while connected to the internet. Then you can connect your Art Net device via WI-FI. If you close the app and reopen it again while not connected to the internet (because you are connected to your Art Net Device) the app will not recognize your purchase and you will have to log back in to the internet to restore your purchase in order for the Art Net connection to work. If you are at a remote venue without internet access the app can not be used.

### 1/5 — App crashes every time I open it

*2022-07-22, version 1.11*

Have a brand new iPad 9th gen and have the art net package unlocked and crashes every time it loads. Will not recommend. Have reached out to the developers and have heard nothing back at all. Would not purchase again until they fix it

### 1/5 — Delete review.

*2021-10-27, version 1.09*

Deleted.

### 1/5 — Mise a jour

*2021-10-23, version 1.09*

Bonjour il ai impossible pour moi de faire la mise a jour sur ipad veuiller régler le problèmes très rapidement merci a vous

### 1/5 — « EN ATTENTE DE L’APPAREIL »

*2020-12-24, version 1.06*

Connexion au Wifi impossible.
Inutilisable !

### 1/5 — Not for all applications

*2020-10-04, version 1.02.2*

We have used this app with the LR512 controller for over a year now.  We enjoy the simplicity of the setup as we only have a few simple DMX controlled lights. However, the app has a really tough time staying connected to the LR512 controller. I have contacted support a couple of times and they keep blaming my iPad so I switched to an android device where I experienced the same issue. It always disconnects from the LR512 interface while the WiFi remains connected. During the last  event the interface disconnected three times in one hour requiring a reset of the DMX controller (it could no longer find the interface even though it was connected to the devices WiFi).  I feel this app and controller have some major stability issues.

### 1/5 — Null Sterne gehen leider nicht.

*2020-05-02, version 1.02.1*

Die Software erscheint auf den ersten Blick sehr innovativ ist allerdings noch mit zahlreichen Bugs behaftet. Das größte Manko sind die ständigen Verbindungsabbrüche zu hauseigenen Interface. Unabhängig der Konfiguration der WLAN Verbindung sind ständige Verbindungsabbrüche der Standard. Und da ich damit nicht alleine auf der Welt bin ist das im reellen Einsatz nicht zu verwenden. Ich betreibe noch andere WLAN DMX Apps auf meinem IPad und diese laufen alle absolut stabil. LR ist für mich nicht einmal ansatzweise eine Alternative.

### 1/5 — Waste of my $129

*2020-02-27, version 1.01.16*

I bought the arc net so I could use on my ADJ Airstream Bridge..connects but I set lights and they keep going to a default spin no matter what I do...might work well with other DMX devices but don’t waste time on Airstream Bridge...now I’m out $129

### 1/5 — Beware if you intend to use another art-net device

*2019-03-24, version 1.01*

This app seems like a good idea, but if you intend to purchase the license for art-net in the app, you may be in for frustration. My app will not recognize the purchase and neither apple nor this app developer will do anything about the $130 charge or the license I cannot use because the app refuses to confirm and update.😡😡😡

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2024-09-18, version 1.12*

I have an outdated iPad, this app has worked flawless with all of my China lights with no crashes.  I love how I can use it with a router to get further distance to the lights.

### 5/5 — wo ist FLAME  version

*2022-10-22, version 1.11*

where is Flame version … its december …..

### 5/5 — Gute Ansätze

*2022-07-12, version 1.11*

Bei mir funktioniert der Großteil meiner DMX Geräte sehr gut.
Der Support hilft eine schnell und zielführend.
Fehlende Geräte werden schnell hinzugefügt und die Abstimmung funktioniert sehr einfach über ein Ticketsystem.

### 5/5 — Brilliant Lighting App

*2022-06-26, version 1.11*

At the start there were some teething issues with certain functions not working as expected, emailing the developers with suggestions and my thanks to the team as improvements were made and new improvements are on the way with the next release heading our way towards the end of 2022. The recent fix for sound to light is working 100%, ran show last week for 3 hours with no issues.

### 5/5 — More powerful than obvious

*2021-04-12, version 1.07*

I use LightRider to control 2 RGB bars with multiple segments and 4 moving heads. With very little programming I can create awesome scenes and store them as presets. 

LightRider has extremely well built programs that can significantly be modified by their parameters. As a result you get much more than the 8 obvious programs. 

In addition, you can set parameters manually and store them in the preset. This way you can use advanced features such as gobo rotation.

I have tried a lot of DMX control software before buying this. And I really like it!

One feature request: I would like to load a preset from a DJ software such as Virtual DJ.

### 5/5 — incroyable

*2021-02-25, version 1.07*

Enfin une gestion de lights intelligente, vous pouvez jeter votre rustique table DMX !!
Avez l’adaptateur DMX LR512, vous vous connectez en WIFI depuis votre tablette, puis vous ajoutez vos lights depuis une bibliothèque gigantesque d’appareils. Si jamais votre light n’y figure pas vous pouvez quand même créer un profil DMX personnel sur le cloud (ce que j’ai fait avec des lyres chinoises).
Pensez à définir les limites des lights à l’aide de la fonction spécifique (sol, plafond, gauche puis droite), cela permet d’avoir des effets beaucoup plus efficaces et une orientation de vos lyres notamment plus cohérente.
 Ensuite, a vous le show ! Il y a des tonnes d’effets pré-enregistrés que ce soit les mouvements ou les couleurs, et vous pouvez combiner ou personnaliser cela sous forme de preset enregistrable.
Seuls reproches pour l’instant: quelques bugs qui font parfois planter l’app, et l'impossibilité de déplacer les preset qu’on enregistre pour les mettre dans un autre ordre.
Continuez à l’améliorer !!

### 5/5 — Gorąco Polecam

*2018-10-08, version 1.0*

Gorąco polecam aplikacje i sterownik.

### 5/5 — DMX for Dummies!

*2018-08-19, version 0.54*

Yup, pretty much does all the time consuming DMX programming for you and saves you countless hours of making a specific scene or effect with your light show. As a wedding DJ I find this very helpful to use with my Airstream DMX Bridge and control my lights with an iPad. Definitely worth using and I highly recommend it.

### 5/5 — The Best DMX lighting app available!

*2018-07-10, version 0.53*

After many years of trying different DMX lighting apps and software, the light rider is the best by far and keeps on getting better!

### 5/5 — Great App

*2018-05-04, version 0.43*

Been using this Personally and for Commercial installs, what a great idea. Our company have installed it in a few venues and now it time to start stocking it and doing our own demos. Great job guys 

Chris
