### 1/5 — Please update won’t work with iOS 11

*2019-01-22*

I can’t even open the app please update so that many people like myself can work and use our gear. Now I’m stuck with my VSL1818 with no use at all.

### 1/5 — Hey PreSonus Wake up Apple did a update fix this !

*2017-11-05*

This app don’t work Since apple did there last update ....
Think you should up date your app so it works ... and give everyone a credit for the very inconvenience it as caused them ....like me . 
OR GIVE ME A REFUND FOR THE APP AND MY AUDIOBOX VIRTUAL  STUDIO LIVE...( virtually dead )
Hey I know Microsoft kind of thru a wrench in you Virtual hmmm you know what ... but it’s not our fault and we are not making millions .... you are ... Make it right !

### 1/5 — Needing update

*2017-10-19*

Hey guys I love the app but ever since iOS 11 came I kinda need an update for my app please

### 3/5 — Will not work with iOS 11

*2017-06-08*

No updates as others have said. This app will not work with iOS 11 due to it being 32-bit.

### 1/5 — NO UPDATES ... EVER!!  Why???

*2016-04-10*

This app has only the VERY basic operations ... You can't even label an input or save settings ... Let alone stuff everyone wants like automation or compatibility with the PreSonus remote mixer app ... I thought this would be made into a real app as it was updated ... But it's NEVER BEEN UPDATED!  Soooo Lame.

### 1/5 — Really? No updates for over two years? Really?!

*2015-05-24*

Seriously, get your crap in gear Presonus. Why can't I label my channels. This is so simple.

Now ever two years!!  I'm headed to Behringer. They know what consumers want.

### 1/5 — Very poor app

*2014-11-26*

Presonus doesn't even deserve one star
I bought the vs1818 to us live and although the demo shows channel naming, the app in use has no channel naming. 
Presonus continues to sell as a live mixing set up, and are not supporting this product any further.

### 5/5 — Exactly as expected

*2014-09-23*

This app does a great job as a remote for running a VSL1818.  I use it when tracking drums in my little project studio.  It allows me to access exactly what is needed to fine tune my monitor mix across the room from my PC.

### 4/5 — Handy

*2014-08-26*

This app works well, much easier to use than the actual computer screen, particularly for monitor mixes. Not being able to label channels is a pain, hopefully this feature is included in future versions. Overall very handy.

### 4/5 — Great

*2013-01-29*

This app is great for mixing live, it is reliable with low latency, only thing I would like to see is being able to rename channels as this is  not available at the moment and is quite annoying.
