### 3/5 — Works, but…

*2025-09-22, version 3.2.0*

App works for me. Connects to my OBS after I manually hit the connect button. It won’t stay connected though. It drops connection and totally shuts down after a while and I have to manually reconnect it again. Other than that, a good app that I use every time I stream.

### 4/5 — Kick?

*2025-06-05, version 3.2.0*

When kick is joining chat preview? Really nice app

### 3/5 — Very good design, but some issues using for irl streaming

*2024-10-20*

I had this app from the very beginning. On the surface it is a great app but my usage has been mostly at my home and within my country. I recently went on an oversea vacation on the other side of the continent and found the websocket connection is not  stable on various networks from Airbnb or my mobile hotspot. Toggle a source visibility and i was expected the app to lag, but the connection would shutdown after my action was completed. Hopefully there is some update to the websocket connection.

**Developer response:** Glad it worked out! :)

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2024-04-06, version 3.2.0*

Would like compatibility for multi streaming lovense toolset.

Would like Picture in Picture for while looking at other apps.

### 4/5 — Mostly great!

*2023-02-11, version 3.2.0*

This app has become an essential part of my streaming. But since the most recent update, every once in a while the app will crash for me. I do have this on an old iPad mini though. Might put it on my phone instead if it’s supported. Reconnection has been mostly seamless though. Not perfect, but still great.

### 4/5 — Great app but has a few teething issues

*2022-09-22, version 3.0.4*

A bit fiddly to get working and the preview crashes the app. Otherwise great.

### 3/5 — Has update issues.

*2022-09-20, version 3.0.3*

The I.O.S. Version of this doesn’t seem to be compatible to the Windows 28.0.1 version of OBS. Apparently there are some connecting issues still needed to be worked on. Worked wonderful before the major update with this app version. 
Cannot connect thru:
 Wi-Fi 
QR Code
Or Manual number input

I look forward to a fix to this bug. Thank you

### 4/5 — Was working great until the update

*2022-09-01, version 3.0.3*

I can no longer connect to OBS Studio no matter what I do. App says my OBS is reachable but fails to connect. Verified settings and password match so it’s disappointing.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-08-04*

This is a great app, simple to use

### 5/5 — Just What I Needed!

*2022-04-16, version 2.0.1*

This app is exactly what I needed. I’m just getting into podcasting and creating some live content. This is the exact controller I need to keep on my desk while recording to make transitions easy. Better than the remote keyboard I was using before for hotkeys. Only thing I wish it had was haptic feedback when selecting buttons. Thanks for the hard work!

### 4/5 — Great App but one thing

*2022-01-14, version 2.0.1*

This is a great app but every so often it won’t connect and I can’t figure out why.  Please help, thanks

### 3/5 — Worked great for the first 10mins of streaming…

*2021-12-15, version 2.0.1*

Then lagged REALLY badly and cut out even tho the app and my phone were still open and running. Paid for this app as well. Very disappointed, will be asking for a refund.

### 1/5 — Won’t connect to OBS

*2026-03-10, version 3.2.0*

Was looking forward to using this but it will not connect to OBS even though we’re on the same network.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2025-09-29, version 3.2.0*

Пишет не удалось подключиться

### 1/5 — Dead app

*2025-09-08, version 3.2.0*

Nothing works to connect to the web socket server. Auto detection is broke. The QR scanner does not work. Manually inputting your info doesn’t work. Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Won’t connect to obs at all

*2025-04-21, version 3.2.0*

I’ve tied all the potions in the app to connect to obs v 30.1.2 I selected above v.28 ( I think it that but I selected over) and non of the options will work scannng qr code, typing it in and auto discovery and non of it will work

### 1/5 — Trash

*2025-01-26, version 3.2.0*

Doesnt connect no matter how many times and videos ive tried still doesnt work

### 1/5 — I cant figure out how to connect it to obs

*2024-01-19, version 3.2.0*

help please

### 1/5 — Trash

*2023-01-12, version 3.1.0*

Worked great for 2 days now it connects but doesn’t work at all or says password is incorrect. Use anything else save yourself the hassle!

### 1/5 — No Recording stats

*2022-01-01, version 2.0.1*

Only shows stats for streaming but not recording? OBS is an extremely powerful recording platform but people are obsessed with “streaming”. No one is watching all these millions of high schoolers’ streams

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect

*2021-11-27, version 1.4.1*

Tried disabling the password, changing the port, setting my own password, “couldn’t connect to a websocket”

### 1/5 — Dont get it

*2021-10-20, version 1.4.1*

Asking what your IP address is its trying steal your IP address TRUST ME I JUST KNOW DIDNT DO IT BUT I JUST KNOW

### 5/5 — Still a great app despite lack of updates

*2026-01-18, version 3.2.0*

This app is perfectly stable, usable, and reasonably feature-complete despite the fact that its last update was 3 years ago. Just goes to show you that newer isn’t necessarily better

### 5/5 — Church Headless Ops

*2025-05-18, version 3.2.0*

For our medium sized church, our audio/video equipment is setup in a closet with remote control only. This app is great for starting out recordings, changing scenes, and stopping the recording all from our phones.  In OBS, the filenames, settings, and scenes for the recordings are automatic / pre-established. The app allows easy control and monitoring from our phones.

### 5/5 — Best Remote controller for OBS

*2024-05-31, version 3.2.0*

Never wrote a review for an app before but this app is truly amazing and it is getting better with every update. Thank you very much for making this app. 

Feature Request: If you can please add the ability to add stuff and manipulate the frame would be great.

### 5/5 — Great addition to OBS

*2024-05-19, version 3.2.0*

With Mac I’ve had great success and appreciate all the work the dev(s) have put in.  However, on Windows I cannot get connected. Hopefully Win support coming

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2023-09-02, version 3.2.0*

I love this app

### 5/5 — Absolutely Incredible OBS App for a 1 PC Streamer

*2023-07-20, version 3.2.0*

If you aren’t earning money off your stream/content yet, then you’re probably not investing in some of the non-essential commodities that makes streaming easier. This app covers that for you though… free. Obviously, you should 100% Tip the dev or purchase the “Blacksmith” option (which is in ZERO way required and doesn’t put any of the apps functions behind a pay-wall… it’s purely to support an incredible dev).

### 5/5 — Wish i never switched to streamlab tbh

*2023-04-15, version 3.2.0*

I started with OBS but when i switched to stream-labs due to the “ultra” subscription
(Not sure if it was my pc RTX 3070 i7) 
But it made my stream choppy. They have the app controller. I just couldnt find one for OBS at the time. now i see it and I'm never switching tbh … maybe an easier export tool would be cool but I'm managing

### 5/5 — The Best

*2023-02-16, version 3.2.0*

I tried using apps such as TouchPortal to control OBS, and this just blows those out of the water. So much simpler, directly connects to OBS, and has all of the functions you could really want from an app like this. No idea what the negative reviewers are talking about. They don’t know how good they have it. 

Also, I think this is pretty comparable to SLOBS mobile controller. The SLOBS one might be a bit cleaner and simpler, but I think they have all of the same functionalities. 

Fantastic app.

### 5/5 — Stream Saver

*2023-01-25, version 3.2.0*

This makes everything so much more convenient when I’m streaming games, and the connection to my OBS is stable too! Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Works great now!

*2022-09-06, version 3.0.3*

In my last review of this app, I talked about how it rfused to connect to OBS on my computer no matter what I did (including updating to OBS 28.01 and updating the websocket). Well, it turned out to be that the default port was glogged by the old websocket. Switching to a different port, I had it all up and running in very short order. The updated ui, on both OBS and this app, just feels cleaner and better able to handle what I use it for. Definitely going to recommend this app to all my streamer friends!
