Lack of iPhone Support

Maybe spend some R&D to make a bare bones interface that FOH engineers can use the iPhone as a last resort. I believe iPads don’t always float in our pockets. It’s ideal to use an iPad but come on. And there is a separate monitor iOS app but that’s not enough.

Not supported at this screen size

I've always used my iPad mini 6th to control the rack. I don't know what they did, but now when I try to access it, it gives me a black screen saying "Remote control not compatible with this screen size."

iPad mini 6 screen size not supported

As of the latest update, no water supports the screen size of the iPad mini six. It was working just fine before. The knowledge article linked talks about android devices and developer mode. This isn’t an android device and I shouldn’t need to activate developer settings in order to make your app work. This needs to be fixed in future updates and needs more robust support

Unsupported screen!

I bought a StudioLive mixer for its remote capability, then I try to use my phone which the App Store says is supported and I can’t actually use the app! This is so dumb.

0 stars

This app won’t work at all with a revelatory io24. It asks to violate your privacy by sniffing your network then won’t connect to the interface, even if directly connected. TrAsH
