### 4/5 — It Does What I need it to do

*2019-10-30*

Bought this app and had trouble setting it up correctly so contacted their support team and Alex was super helpful and got back to me quickly. Turns out I was the one not doing things right as far as setup and once I did the app works really well. I’m able to sit behind drum sets and hit record and cue up my stuff when I’m alone and also go into the sound booth and record vocals with nothing but the iPad which is great. Highly recommend this app.

### 2/5 — Bad experience with this product

*2015-06-17*

I need immediate assistance how can I do that do you have a phone that I can call or you can call me or a direct online way to do it?  I have done everything right on this not working this Application need help right away. Very frustrated customer!!!!

### 2/5 — Needs Windows Support...

*2013-09-27, version 2.5.4*

There is a whole other world out there...

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2013-06-22*

Love the concept and the tech behind it. Very easy to set up. However, the layout is clunky and has some frustrating bugs. It's still faster to just grab the mouse. I want to believe guys!

### 4/5 — Having trouble please help

*2013-04-29*

I'm having trouble keeps on saying ProTools is unable to communicate with hui power cycle And check connections note if hui is not in use update the Perfield dialogue to prevent further warnings  how do I do this its connects but kick me off

### 1/5 — dead beat program

*2012-12-30, version 2.5.4*

This progam requires another program called "Proremote Server". I went to download it only to see this meaasge " Proremote Server is  currently incompatible with all Windows versions of Pro Tools " Which for me means I just blew 10.00 on a app that will not work for me how nice!!!

### 4/5 — Pro Remote Light a Plus

*2012-10-07, version 2.5.4*

After setting up Pro Remote Light with Pro Tools Native on an iMac and HD on a Power Mac Pro, I found this App easy and intuitive to use. For a simple remote control of transport and basic fader/pan controls, this App performed flawlessly.

I run a mobile recording service and would update the Lite version to the full version, if and when the App were to include control over aux sends, whereby I could control headphone mixes for musicians whilst interacting directly with them or better still, allow them to balance the headphone mix themselves. I see no other need for addition to design, apart from this and fully embrace the simplistic approach to the developers design.

Until then, I will use the Lite version for basic control over the more simple projects on our books.

It's set to revolutionize the way in which we work.

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2012-08-02, version 2.5.3*

Wasted $60 buying this and getting all upgrades and it just simply does not work. I've sat on the forums and read all the FAQ and no matter what I try, it doesn't work.

### 5/5 — Amazing App!

*2012-06-20, version 2.5.2*

Just bought this app for my mobile setup (MacBook Pro, Protools 10) and I wanted a small controller for "rough mixing on the go"... And I discover ProRemote LE. Installation was easy, and I email Alex (the Creator) and he gave me a response 10 minutes later (on a Thursday night at 9:30 pm!!!!) amazing service and amazing App, looking for the full version now!!!

Thank's!

### 5/5 — Works perfectly !!!

*2012-05-16, version 2.5.2*

When I read the reviews of the full version where some had problems I went for this cheaper version in case I had the same issue - It worked straight away and I immediately bought the add-ons to upgrade to the full version. Now I can stay sat at my drums and record take after take effortlessly, the transport and undo upgrades make this a synch! So pleased that I have found this new Protools freedom (I'm using version 10). This is on an ITouch as well and this app alone is convincing me to get an IPad just to enjoy this even more. If you are having problems then I'd say check you followed the instructions properly or maybe it is a device / protools setup issue. This App is dedicated to Protools and I can't see how other non Protools specific apps can come close to this. Brilliant!

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2021-01-10*

Just downloaded this app with the purpose of recording myself while I’m away from my console. Ableton won’t even recognize the midi device. Hence I cannot even follow through with the steps on the website.
Buyer beware. Running MacOS Big Sur

**Developer response:** Big Sur support is currently being tested and a new version of the MIDI driver and server should be released shortly.  In the meantime our customer support can help you get it working there.

### 1/5 — NO FUNCIONA EN

### 1/5 — Não funciona!

### 1/5 — Don’t buy it

*2016-04-28*

i wasted my money on this, not really usable if u only can see 32 tracks and can’t see the rest to work. all i needed was that , see one or 2 tracks anywhere not only the firsts 8 .

no support or instructions either. i wish i didn’t buy it.

### 1/5 — Do not buy! Don't even think it

*2014-01-14, version 2.5.4*

It doesn't work with logic X, proTools 11. 
I follow all instructions, went to all the forums, nothing....
I really want my money back!!!

### 1/5 — Not working in Maverick or iOS7

*2013-12-20, version 2.5.4*

Software not working on OSX Maverick (or iPhone iOS ).  There is no problem with my Mac/ iPhone connectivity as had a similar product (Neyrinck V-Control) picked up in Wifi in seconds.. This product isn’t working on EITHER of them.. Will get on to Far Out to see what problem is..

### 1/5 — It doesn't work

*2013-10-13*

I bought it this October 2013, installed it and it looks nice. I did set up everything according to instructions on their website and it just doesn't work. My ipad recognizes it but once I click on any fader or transport control, it play one note from the sound in the selected track. It does not recognize my tracks in every song. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

### 1/5 — Crashes too much

*2013-08-17, version 2.5.4*

Same problem as other users...hui is recognized and then shuts down and transport does not work

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2013-08-16, version 2.5.4*

It would be nice if they had told you that it did not work on Windows PC as you can not download the server. Wasted $10

### 1/5 — Ne marche pas.

*2013-06-12, version 2.5.4*

9 euros pour rien ! Bien respectant à la lettre les instructions, et ayant regardé sur les forums audio, il n'y a rien à faire, cela refuse de fonctionner !

### 5/5 — An opoligy

*2019-01-20*

Ignorance on my side, after reading the latest instructions from Far Out Labs, I was amazed on how silly we can be without the right info. This app is awesome once you read the instructions carefully. It works with 
Protools flawlessly and other DAWs. I spent at least 24hrs trying to get to work without that info and was about to give up until this latest instruction guide came across my attention. Thanks Far Out Labs, My apologies again. Bernard Snucky Miller,Nassau Bahamas.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2018-03-22*

I've been using this app off and on for at least 6 years now and love it! Being a one man show in the studio, as a lot of us are now...this is a life saver. Especially when in you happen to be tracking and engineering. The developer was super fast to respond to a bug fix that was resolved in under 24 hours!

### 5/5 — This helps me so much

*2016-02-14*

Rather in the studio or on stage with an artist this app has gotten me through... I love it I can control everything logic protools what ever!!!

### 5/5 — Outstanding!

*2016-02-06*

This app does all that it says it does and to my surprise, exceeds my expectations! Worth every penny.

### 5/5 — Perfect wirh Pro Tools 11

*2013-08-25, version 2.5.4*

Muy buena aplicación.

Lo mejor: soporta 32 canales. No hace falta arrancar el programa que se instala en el ordenador cada vez que inicias Pro Tools (muy cómodo).

Lo peor: si te actualizas desde la versión Le, no puedes descargar la versión Pro en otros dispositivos. La numeración de los indicadores de volumen, a veces no es exacta.

### 5/5 — Works, now I drum better

*2013-03-18*

Seriously. I can finally relax behind the kit knowing that even if I botch a take I don't have to whip off the cans, jump over the cords and run to the control room just to hit stop and record again and again. Brilliant invention. Please just make the transport buttons a bit bigger. :)

### 5/5 — Makes my life easier

*2012-12-19*

I love this app and I use it in just about every session.  Sometimes I hand the remote to the client to start and stop when they are ready.  I find that really speeds up the process.  I had to upgrade the transport to be able to return to zero.  But works amazingly well with Pro Tools 9 in my project studio on my iPhone 4S. 
My only gripe is getting to the transport screen can be a pain sometimes.  Especially if the mini transport bar is in the way.  I hope the improve that. 
I highly recommend this app. If you work alone in your studio and play instruments too, now you can control your DAW from the live room.  Amazing!!!

### 5/5 — Reading is fundamental

*2012-10-26, version 2.5.4*

If you don't read everything prior to purchasing, things may go wrong.however this is a great option if you do or don't have a control surface. I  do and find switching between the 2 are easy if you read the instructions. I would recommend this app for any computer based musician needing a  hui.👍✌

### 5/5 — I use it all day every day

*2012-09-07*

On the iPad in landscape mode it has 16 channels on screen at once, all with good sized solo & mute buttons.  I love it.  This update fixes an issue that in Pro Tools with solo set to X-or, you can now solo more than one channel if you press the solo buttons at the same time.  This is the way it works on a physical Hui and it's a welcome fix.  Good connectivity to my Mac, and works with Pro Tools 10 really well.  I'm also using it at a studio with lots of other people around with a tight security on the network.  So if anyone is having trouble connecting, try creating an ad-hoc network on your machine from the Network control panel.  The range isn't great with an ad-hoc network, but you can get around firewall issues this way, and I've been using it reliably for over 3 months on this job.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2012-06-22, version 2.5.2*

Esta de lujo, solo tienes que crear una red desde tu Mac y configurar en el protools y listo, comprare la versión completa.
