Crash after crash... ### 2/5 — Still no fix. *2014-02-02, version 1.011* I use this mainly to do some programming in parts of a room that I can't really see from where the console is. Unfortunately, on my iPad mini running iOS 7, I have lost the right-hand side of the screen. This means that I have no access to the "select/scroll" button at the top-right of the screen, and the "next" button on the bottom-right of the screen. It was fine until the iOS 7 update. Now I can't use it for lighting programming. ### 2/5 — GrandMA 2 Rotation issue *2013-11-13, version 1.011* Version 2 look like need to be in landscape but my Ipad2 iOS7 can't rotate the view. It's kind of stupid, I'm missing the "clear" button... just off screen! ### 2/5 — Needs work but glad to have it *2013-01-15, version 1.008* App could use some expanded features. Need to be able to access layout views thru the app. Having to be in airplane mode even on iPad is odd. Hope to see some effort put into this app soon. ### 1/5 — Nothing *2013-01-10, version 1.008* Has anyone used this app? I don't see anything. Just a blank page ### 4/5 — Needs executors please *2012-12-20, version 1.008* Very nice, really makes my day easier. Would be better if it had executors. ### 3/5 — Playback please !!! *2012-05-05, version 1.008* for when an update with playback ### 2/5 — Old Interface *2012-04-18, version 1.008* Using Grand MA ultra-light console, this app was able to connect, that is the only reason I am giving this product any stars. This app has not been meaningfully updated in years. Trying to use this app on an iPad is unintuitive and lacks many features that would be expected from developers at such an incredible company. The added screen real-estate of the iPad is not being taken advantage of whatsoever. This app could be amazing if it had just some of the elements of Grand MA's OnPC solution. ### 3/5 — Needs executor view! *2012-01-13, version 1.008* Other than that it works well when the iPad actually connects and the app does not crash! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Needs iOS 11 support *2018-07-18, version 1.012* Please support iOS 11 ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work ios 11 . *2018-05-03, version 1.012* Doesn’t work anymore on ios 11 . Please update it. Thanks a lot !! ### 1/5 — Please Update *2017-09-23, version 1.012* Was my go to app. But after upgrading my IOS to 11.0, the app no longer works. Leaving Grand MA 1 owners without a remote. Now my theater is looking for an old iOS phone or iPod Touch so we can focus our lights without having someone drive the console. Why MA lighting decided not to update there app is beyond me. Seems like you are leaving a lot of old console users behind. And that doesn’t make my want to have my theater dish out for a newer MA 2. Knowing that in the future it also maybe left without support. Come on MA. Do the right thing, Update the app. Please!!! And Thank You!!! ### 1/5 — Needs update to run!!! *2017-05-25, version 1.012* Downloaded the app, and right off the bat, it tells you, "app needs and update" and won't operate at all after you hit ok. Cmon Dev team!! Wireless control for my GandMA will tremendously improve productivity, and value into your systems!!! Update it and I will change my review. ### 1/5 — Might work *2016-03-04, version 1.012* This app will open and seems to run well but when loaded the app only says "consoles" on the top and does not allow for the user to leave the screen. I would recommend the computer version of this app ### 1/5 — iOS 7 update soon?! *2014-08-30, version 1.011* Great app for those still on iOS 6. But if you've updated like I have you're high and dry. Please update this soon! ### 1/5 — Needs updates.. *2014-03-21, version 1.011* This app offers basic functionality, but has not seen updates in eons. Please update this app with some playback functionality and more! ### 1/5 — Ios7 *2014-01-19, version 1.011* Heyy hoooo its been more than 6 month ios 7 were release and your app never update on ipad and iphone miss button cant rotate... Just dont working ### 1/5 — Doesn't work, despite many attempts! *2013-08-21, version 1.010* I've tried multiple times, and set config exactly like iPad app, yet console does not show. iPad app works, just not this one. MA, pls update!! ### 1/5 — MA 1 *2013-08-14, version 1.010* I use it with MA 1 and the last version for iPhone 5 is not working properly. Impossible to access (push) bottom key function. Do not update! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Software update *2017-10-28, version 1.012* Need to update the app for IOS11 ### 5/5 — Great *2016-03-25, version 1.012* This app works great with MA2, recommend for a scaled UI for iPad and larger iPhone screen. ### 5/5 — Love it *2016-02-15, version 1.012* The MA technology is by far the best ### 5/5 — Thanks for the last update *2013-09-13, version 1.011* Thanks for the last update. Functionality has been restored. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2012-09-18, version 1.008* Best app on the store. The GUI could be easier to change what command you wanna make but this app is amazing regardless. ### 5/5 — Awesome!! *2012-02-22, version 1.008* The best remote out there. Ma lighting Is be best. Full control and programming ability. I just ask that you add effects pool to the list and implement the special dialog for color mixing. I had this networked into my console as well as my ma pc software and controlled the 3d visualizer. It's the best!!!! Thank you so much ### 4/5 — Ma remote update. Please *2018-11-13, version 1.012* Hello grand ma programmers. Please let the community say something, we need a apple 11.0 update. I cannot be the only two that need this. Please please ### 4/5 — Update the App *2018-04-16, version 1.012* Please update the app really useful ! ### 4/5 — Good app *2018-01-13, version 1.012* This is a good app it would be good if you could update it to be used on iPhone as well as on iPad as it would probably be more convenient for other people ### 4/5 — Used to work great *2014-01-04, version 1.011* Not sure what's changed in the most recent version, but it still connects and works fine with my Series 1 consoles. The only that I have, and I didn't have it before this version, is when I lock my iPad or shut off the screen to save battery life, the app crashes. I need to log back in every time I unlock the iPad. I'd love to see that get sorted out. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
