Amazing product
This app is both great and easy to use for viewing multiple NDI sources. Definitely recommend!
Potential Customers Beware - The Watermark remains if you only buy the Pan, Tilt, Zoom Control $9.99
Note: The Watermark (i.e. the red Top Director logo) blocks approx. 80-90% of the camera(s) image in the free download of the App.
If you want to be able to view the image from the camera, after downloading the App for free, you’ll need to purchase the following: Go to Settings> General> In-App Purchases to purchase the item named: “Remove Watermark, Double-Tap Full Screen and Start PIP When Going to Background” ($14.99)
If you then want to Pan, Tilt and Zoom the camera, you’ll need to make another purchase: Go to Settings> General> In-App Purchases to purchase the item named: “PTZ, Focus, Exposure, Whit Balance Control” ($9.99)
I downloaded the App for free and expected that the Watermark would be removed after purchasing the “PTZ, Focus, Exposure, White Balance Control” ($9.99). However this was not the case; the Watermark remained, making the App un-usable. It was a very bad customer experience to discover that I also needed to then purchase the “Remove Watermark, Double-Tap Full Screen and Start PIP When Going to Background” for an additional ($14.99) to make the Watermark go away so that the App was usable. Bad business practice/decision in my opinion.
Suggestion to Developers: Bundle the Watermark Removal with the purchase of the Pan,Tilt, Zoom control and adjust the pricing of the Pan, Tilt, Zoom tool if necessary, to avoid a bad customer experience. You are creating good tools. Don’t leave a bad taste in a customer’s mouth involving a function as basic as this. They may decide to dump your product for a better experience with another developer.

CANT CONNECT
How do you even search for a IP ?
Meh
Crashes a lot
Spotty
Very Spotty even with great signal. Takes forever to discover too.
Purchased and still not functional
I bought this app and it says payment accepted but I still get the topdirector black screen covering my NDI source the same way it did prior to my purchase of the app. So purchasing the app does not open it up for use.
Opens and crashes
After purchasing all the ad ones it doesn’t work on any device. It opens and crashes. What waste of great potential!
Good
Amazing
Horrible
Only once after a morning of searching, did the program discover the cameras. Other programs, I have just seem to work. I purchased this to access control of the iris. Well that doesn’t work either. Moving the program to the trash bin. Ps the PTZ worked but was unbelievably uncontrollable so actually 0 out of 100 from me.

Useful tool
If you use multiple NDI sources this is a useful app to have. It does what it claims.
PTZ Camera control is crazy
Controlling a PTZ is nearly impossible. One small move and it doesn’t stop. Sometimes it does nothing. No obvious control management…
It's good
I'm just using record and fullscreen.
Bit pricey but is not a subscription.
Stream display latency seems a little more than NDI Monitor by Mark Gilbert.
So room to improve :)

Crashes a lot
This app is great when it works but it crashes constantly and I have to continually restore my purchases for the features I paid for to work.
Unreliable to me
This is a great idea, but I’ve had minimal success with it. It refuses to connect to even the network in my house when testing.
Pretty good app
I love this app. It allows me to have a live portable view of my service buuuuuuuuuuuuut, it stopped reading my sources. My streaming pc can still communicate with all my other ndi devices on the network but for some reason my iPad TopDirector app stopped communicating.
Ptz add in purchase won’t restore. Unusable!
Purchased the app and PTZ in app purchase - however the PTZ purchase will not restore.
Tried reinstalling the app, restore purchases but problem remains.

Response from developer
Sorry for hearing that. Please double check all the NDI groups, extra IPs settings or contact us directly at www.topdirector.com/contact/. The NDI camera could be seen with a watermark without purchase, do you mean you purchased without seeing anything? Anyway, you can ask for a refund without any reason.
Awful
This is awful software for broadcast that costs too much for nothing.
This app is crippled, not “free“
This developer misrepresents this app: The entire title safe area is blocked by a card, not a “watermark”. The type of crippled “free” app should be indicated as being unusable without a subscription or purchase.
