Lightwright Touch provides mobile viewing and editing of Lightwright® 5 or 6 lighting equipment data. If you use Lightwright, or schedules and hookups printed from Lightwright, this is the portable, navigable, editable worksheet tool you have been waiting for. +Export your show from Lightwright and sync to Lightwright Touch through iTunes, or email, or file sharing +View and Sort your worksheet using familiar Lightwright functions +Columns can be added, removed, and rearranged to best suit your mobile needs +"Log" feature speeds selection of prior view/sort displays +Edit worksheet data quickly with item pick-lists +Add a note to any worksheet row, or to a general notes page +Store multiple shows on Lightwright Touch +Transfer shows back to Lightwright for reconciliation with the original show file +View and email notes or your changes +Supports any device orientation, and multiple font sizes Please note that Lightwright Touch does not do everything that Lightwright does. (The fact that it costs 1/10 as much might have been be a clue.) This version does not support focus charts and worknotes. Also you cannot start a new show on Lightwright Touch. It's great for viewing existing shows and doing minor editing on the fly, but heavy-duty worksheet management is better left to Lightwright at this time. Lightwright Touch is an accessory to Lightwright, not a replacement for it. Works with files exported from Lightwright 5.0.22 or later, and Lightwright 6.0.13 or later. ## Key features - View and sort lighting data - Edit worksheet data - Add notes to rows or general pages - Sync shows via iTunes, email, or file sharing - Store multiple shows - Transfer changes back to desktop Lightwright ## Chart rankings - #186 in Top Paid · Productivity (US App Store) ## Recent user reviews (10 of 17) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/lightwright-touch/id399205617/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Wants to be useful, but really isn’t *2024-10-22* Desperately needs a complete overhaul and modernization… it’s buggy, features should work better. ### 2/5 — Needs updating *2023-04-23* There hasn’t been an update to Lightwright Touch in 2 years, and it shows. It becomes more and more bug-ridden with each passing iOS update. (Lightwright Touch is not made by the makers of Lightwright. It is a licensed product) ### 1/5 — Worthless *2019-09-26* Operation is clunky at best - import doesn’t work at all in iOS13. Save your money! ### 1/5 — Update NOW! *2017-01-05* Not compatible with lw6 despite the fact it's been out for quite some time. This isn't acceptable at all for an app that costs 50 bucks. ### 3/5 — LW6 *2016-10-19* When is support for lightwright 6 going to happen? I really like this app but currently it's worthless to me until it can become compatible with LW6 ### 2/5 — Update please *2016-03-05* It's been 10/2012 since the last update. Resolution for 6s plus, integrate focus charts, moving light wheel, utilities options from lightwright. This is a $50.00 app and you guys created it and just gave up. ### 4/5 — Makes Everything Easier *2014-09-21* Being able to hold my paperwork on-stage during a load-in or a focus makes my life so much easier. I often multitask with this app and the iRFR app and never put my iPhone down during a load in. Can’t wait for an update to take advantage of the screen resolution of the iPhone 6 Plus. I’ll wait patiently. ### 5/5 — Lightwright app works for what it should do *2013-09-23* The Lightwright app is one of those things were you really want it to be awesome as the full software is for computers but if you use it as a mobile copy of paperwork is does what it should. And truly, with all the things that the full Lightwright does now, you can't expect a small computer chip to handle more info than this does. ### 5/5 — No more binders ! *2012-09-15* LW in your pocket, what a swell thing. ### 1/5 — Must have lw5 *2012-06-23* Be careful I thought I could use it as a viewer since I don't want a full version of lightwright. Nope. ## Frequently asked questions about Lightwright Touch ### What is Lightwright Touch?
