### 1/5 — Awful

*2020-04-11*

I can’t work on the plot and have the set on at the same time, it is very finicky and the whole plot moves even if i just move one light. Save your money and do not buy this, I want a refund and i emailed the company and got no response. Just truly a waste

**Developer response:** Generally, to avoid unwanted selection of an underlying drawing, place it on a separate layer.  Selecting objects with the touch interface is different than using a mouse or track pad.  In the preferences you can turn off multiple object selection so that only a single object can be selected at one time.  This, combined with use of layers, should solve the accidental moving of objects issue.

### 4/5 — On the go revisions

*2019-11-15, version 3.0.3*

This, on its own can be hard to use.  If you have LX Beams on your Mac then this app comes into its own.  You can make on the fly changes to your designs moving, adding and removing elements without having your Mac with you on the job etc.

### 5/5 — Great App!!!

*2015-01-22*

Is there anyway for you to add grouping and ungrouping tool and the text tool? Thank you for continuing to improve this app!

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2013-09-03, version 1.0.3*

Not worth the money. Not easy to use and the "help" section is not very helpful. Wish I could get a refund.

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2013-08-12*

Needs a start up page instead of loading up the last show file on launch. Constantly crashes,  can't figure out how to select multiple fixtures at once.
