Works. No iPad or Split View support

It’s 2023. There’s still no iPad version of the software, and the current app doesn’t support split screen so I can have show notes up while using the app on an iPad. Please update it to support split screen.

Works pretty good!

For what I need to do it’s great! This prevents me from having to walk to the light board all the time or when I’m up in the catwalk I don’t need someone to help me. The only thing I wish is that you could see present for groups, other than that it’s great!

Absolutely a waste of money

For Christmas I received 2 of their dream light pro Bluetooth and controller. What did I get? 2 rolls or led and one incorrect wall connector. It had ZERO remotes. ZERO working wall connectors and will NOT connect to the app at all. I’ve been in contact with them for months and have gotten nothing. I want these to work so much because they look good but right now they are USELESS.

Can’t see on my app which lights are in play

It’s frustrating when I use my phone app to turn on lights and it doesn’t indicate beside it if it’s on or not. Would be useful knowing which I have on so it doesn’t interfere with other lights. App is amazing but that little feature would be amazing. Just a simple green dot to show me which lights I have in play. PLEASE

I want to like this, but...

It only worked correctly once. Exactly once. I didn't make any changes to anything anywhere, but the second time I tried to use it it couldn't find the console. Definitely on the same wifi network, remote is still enabled, tried restarting the console, disabling and re-enabling remote, killing app and restarting, felting and reinstalling remote app, still can't find any consoles on the network even though console is running. ❓
