User reviews

Crashes

Crashes on any interaction.

Don't install

The only thing that works is the spammy advertising. Not sure if app is a weak scam or an inexperienced Dev. Either way, 100% useless.

Hasn't worked for some time!

I used to use this app a lot until it stopped working with the iOS 7 update I think. Shame. There is an App called PiSwitch on the store which does the same thing and has support for Raspberry Pi 2, It has 26 Gpio controls. And its free.

..... Terrible

It keeps crashing when I try to work a pin.

Crashes

Installed everything, works on the computer but crashes every time I touch the pins inside the app. Turn pins on or off, change read to input or output, doesn't matter, crashes.
