Crashes too much…. I really want it to work!
There is so much to like about this app. The. Layout, user interface, simplicity of design.
I’ve used it for over 5 years on and off, and I would use it more but it crashes too often for me to trust it for all my work. If it were more stable I would use it on every job.

Crashes
This app keeps crashing just like others have stated
Do NOT waste your money
App barely works. Yes the idea is great but the interface is fiddly, whole thing is buggy, and it crashes when you do basically anything. Can’t even render a simple lighting plot. App just keeps crashing every couple things I do. Paid way too much for an app that I can’t even use.
Unstable
Will inmediatly ask for a refund.
The app is extremely unstable and crashes continuously.

Crashes when trying to render large plots
The app crashes when rendering plots larger than 36 pieces on my iPhone 12. Not a good choice for event lighting design if you’re trying to draw plans to scale.
Love the app and its potential but it’s BUGGY
I’ve used the app on and off for a few years. Unfortunately each time I give it a shot the crashes and frozen screens put me off and a number of times, I resorted back to hand-drawn lighting diagrams rather than dealing with the issues of this app.
While it offers so many possibilities, I’d love for it to be more stable.

It’s great
Makes camera positioning easy
Great App In Theory
This app is really cool in the sense that I can create really organized lighting plots for my crew. However, it crashes so frequently that it becomes borderline un-usable. If the developer fixes the bugs this app would make a great tool, however it has a long way to go.
Crashes
This App could really be fantastic, there’s a lot of useful features and I found it reasonably simple to work out. The crashing gets ridiculous though. Once I’d reached a certain point in putting together quite a simple plan, it started closing itself down literally every five minutes. The result is that it’s really too slow to be of much use, even on an ipad pro with pencil.

Clunky
Really regret wasting my cash on this app. It’s incredibly clunky and counter intuitive. Having to link things (like a gel) to a light by going into another menu as opposed to just writing it in a box is insane. Why can we select a 12x12 solid, for example, but if we want to show a 12x12 grid we need to “attach” another object?
Where are the reports of total units and total watts/amps?
It also seems the units are not to scale

Buggy to the point of being unusable
Yup that’s it
Keeps crashing while naming fixtures

Mac
This app could be great if it didn’t crash as often and I would love to be able to import scale drawings and just have to add the lighting also the ability to use it on my Mac as well as my iPad would make it amassing
Crashes all the time
Running on a iPad Pro, latest OS. Crashes all the time, awful. Feel robbed.
Excellent but still doesn’t have all of the basics
I love this for making plots super quick BUT, it is limited to 4 universes. When rigs now have way beyond that. So I cannot do this for larger rigs or even distributed rigs. Such a bummer I had to put this app on the back burner for now.
Buggy und it crasches
I bought this App to create Lightning Plans for Movie Sets. The Problem is That its impossible to work with this App, because of permanent rasches. And as i Tried to add dmx adresses , it failed completley. So in my opinion ist not Worth the Money. Never had a buggy app like this , sorry.
Response from developer
Sorry to hear that! It sounds like your download might have been corrupted in some way. I’d suggest deleting and re-downloading the app; after that, it should function correctly. I’ve received a few reports like this over the years, and a re-download has always done the trick. Email me at lightingdesigner.app@gmail.com, or use the Email Developer function built into the app, or the contact form on the website, to let me know how it works out!
Continuous crashing and overpriced
This IS a great app and app idea. There is some intuitiveness to it although without a user guide accessible on iPhone (it’s there just a blank screen though) within the app you already have to have some familiarity with draft and design. The price tag is not justifiable due to crashes as I can’t even generate a test plot without losing my mind! Maybe it’s better on iPad but if I had an Ipad out I may as well have had a computer out and plotted that way.

Idea
I think having some templates or demo shows might help make it easier to understand at first
Great program, very helpful
Just started using this program and thus far, I’m a huge fan. I feel like a laptop version is critical, but small steps...
I really appreciate the level of control and the density of the functionality and detail you can add and manipulate. Clearly a lot of time and thought went into this. Haven’t gotten deep enough to add truck/ crews / contact info but am looking forward to seeing how that works.
Having done my plots and layouts by hand previously this is a huge help.

Potentially great but buggy
I love the app for doing my overheads. Would however love desktop / laptop support and synchronization so I’m not stuck with only using my iPad.
Also the recent update is extremely buggy, ‘LD’ is constantly asking for permission to let others look me up my email and when I say don’t allow or allow it just pops up over and over again. This forced me to restart my iPad multiple times and im extremely concerned if I have to reinstall the app if it keeps happening, would I potentially lose my plots ?!
