It would be so useful ### 4/5 — Awesome so far.. But *2015-07-12, version 2.1.0* An iPad version would be fantastic. The new landscape virtual console is great, but am iPad version could potentially have a lot more playback features/faders! ### 4/5 — Frozen! *2015-01-11* Seems to be frozen! May need an update! ### 4/5 — Please update *2014-11-17, version 1.0.2* This is a great app. Or it was. Since iOS 8 it has stopped working. I used this all the time with mpc. There wasn't a single show where I didn't make use of this app at some point. Please update this app. ### 4/5 — I like it *2013-02-02* Only thing I would like to see is a 10 key. Would be awesome then. =] ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Absolutely a waste of money *2023-02-28* 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. ### 1/5 — Don't update on iPad yet *2015-01-24* This is not ready for iPad it will not allow you to see the whole screen and makes any fixture, playback, or preset useless. Please fix ### 2/5 — Yea! *2009-12-05, version 0* Awesome App. But it keeps showing updates, although I have the latest version. ### 3/5 — Works. No iPad or Split View support *2023-09-19* 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. ### 3/5 — Could be a lot better *2019-06-20* For those of us who multitask, it would be awesome to be able to run a playlist and hit “Go”! ### 3/5 — Works, but could be better. *2016-11-29* It's great for updating locations for presets while on the stage. But you can't run a show off of the playback section since it's a list instead of a grid. It would be super helpful if this app had a virtual keypad! Make those two things happen and this would be a 4-5star app. ### 3/5 — Great for focusing *2012-12-14* This app works great for focusing but I would like to see a programmer as well as a command line integrated. Iphone 5 update would be great! ### 4/5 — Works pretty good! *2023-05-04* 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! ### 4/5 — Can’t see on my app which lights are in play *2022-05-22, version 2.7.0* 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 ### 4/5 — I want to like this, but... *2020-12-30* 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. ❓ ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Mpc compatibility? *2020-12-09, version 2.7.0* Does this work on MPC with an Mtouch? ### 5/5 — Awesome, would definitely love iPad App *2020-07-09, version 2.6.1* Definitely agree that an iPad app with playback buttons/faders would be great. Something more optimised. ### 5/5 — Great! *2019-09-24* Works as advertised. Pro tip... turn device sideways for virtual keypad and console. ### 5/5 — Great tool *2015-07-03, version 2.1.0* Hands down this is the best remote app I have used on any console ### 5/5 — Martin Magic!! *2014-07-01* I love Martin Professional! Quality at its BEST! ### 5/5 — Fantastic remote *2010-02-25, version 0* This is the most useful remote for lighting console ever made. Not only a keypad to call channels but a full fledge user interface like the real console. Kudo guys! ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2009-12-06* This app is great to use from the stage when focusing lights, espically when it is an outdoor venue, and its hard to see the lights in the sun. It's quick to update to the console and the acclerometer feature for pan/tilt is cool! The need to enter an access code from the console is a good idea to keep other people from gaining control. Keep up the awesome work! ### 5/5 — Amazing!! *2009-11-29, version 0* Awesome App!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
