### 1/5 — Don’t waste $4.99

*2020-11-09*

Very little support, and impossible to reach out to them..... Unless you want to communicate through Twitter.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2018-10-04, version 3.0.0*

Just waisted £5 as software is not compatible with Mac OS

### 3/5 — Needs Windows support

*2018-02-14*

Sorry friend, going to need a refund. Compatible with iOS but need a Mac to run it.

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2015-04-27, version 2.5.3*

The app won't connect with my computer even with the firewall disabled.

### 1/5 — Waste of Time

*2013-09-18*

This is a waste of time and money.  
Apple is supposed to be plug in and play.
I've lost over an hour of productivity trying to get this to work.
Been using mac os for over 10 years for music so I know what I'm doing.

### 5/5 — Finally!!!

*2013-02-17*

I finally found a remote app that works with my Logic. It took a bit to get it to work but after rescanning midi, it works great! No more running to the vocal booth after pushing record! I love this!!!!

### 5/5 — A life saver

*2012-07-23*

Before ProTransport and ProRemote LE, I was literally having to step in and out of my vocal booth during sessions whenever I had to start / stop and/or set levels on my DAW. As a voice actor and singer I work behind the mic normally as a remote performer from home, often with clients on the line directing me in real-time during sessions. Being able to have all the simple start/stop/playback controls I need is a big deal, as is ability to insert markers because that makes editing afterward go a lot faster. With ProTransport and ProRemote LE for controlling my channel, also my levels out and my clients' levels in for each side's comfortable listening, it's a very efficient professional workflow that helps me roll with how I always have to be my own engineer. Alex gives great support, too.

### 5/5 — ProRemote Support

*2012-02-01*

I've been running pro transport for
About a year, and loved it. Recently upgraded my Mac, and the app stopped communicating with logic... Very frustrating!!  I got in touch with farout labs, where they instantly offered up suggestions as to what could be at foot....I tried these out and had no success. Reached out to the guys again, and Alex immediately set me up with an iChat conversation, where he took control of my computer, delved deep into some dark crevices of the machine , and solved the bug!!!
Absolutely first class, I'm so grateful and impressed - these guys care
About their product! 5 spangled stars!!

### 4/5 — Does exactly what it is supposed to.

*2011-07-28*

Using this with Pro Tools 9.0.1 on Mac.  It works great.  I can control pro tools from my drum room for 8 bucks.  I just don't see how anyone can complain about that.  There is even a beta for windows users.  Low reviews are coming from users that either did not read the description, or did not read the instructions on the website.

### 5/5 — Works perfect!

*2011-02-18, version 2.0.0*

Logic Express 8 with MacBook Pro. I can sit at the drums and control the software without getting up. Excellent.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.5.0 — 2024-04-30

Everything is new in this version of ProTransport.  ProTransport was written a long time ago and has evolved over 15 years.   Much of that old code has become unsupported which means it could be the source of bugs when Apple updates the OS.  It wouldn't be fair to do so much work and have no new features, so we added haptic feedback to the buttons and controls, added support for dark mode, and also localized the app in French with other languages coming soon.

We have added support for Windows!  Support for Windows works thru network CoreMIDI and rtpMIDI for Windows.
We added haptics to the buttons so you can better feel each button press.  This can be disabled in the Settings.
Fixed a small bug with the status overlay, it was appearing underneath some UI elements! oopsie.

### 4.0.1 — 2024-03-16

Everything is new in this version of ProTransport.  ProTransport was written a long time ago and has evolved over 15 years.   Much of that old code has become unsupported which means it could be the source of bugs when Apple updates the OS.  It wouldn't be fair to do so much work and have no new features, so we added haptic feedback to the buttons and controls, added support for dark mode, and also localized the app in French with other languages coming soon.

Fixed problem with missing advertising.
Added required privacy reasons.

### 4.0.0 — 2024-03-15

Everything is new in this version of ProTransport.  ProTransport was written a long time ago and has evolved over 15 years.   Much of that old code has become unsupported by Apple which means it could be the source of bugs when Apple updates the OS.  They no longer test unsupported APIs.   It took over a year, but all that code has been replaced with new code that should last another 10+ years.  It wouldn't be fair to do so much work and have no new features, so we added haptic feedback to the buttons and controls, added support for dark mode, and also localized the app in French with other languages coming soon.

### 3.0.0 — 2017-04-11

This app has been updated by Apple to display the Apple Watch app icon.

The App was updated for iOS 8+ and now features support for all screen sizes, improved display of text and support for a wider range of Digital Audio Workstations.

*** Be sure to update your ProRemoteServer on your Mac to the latest version (3.0.0) or ProTransport will complain that you do not have the latest! ***

* We will no longer support any iOS less than iOS 8 with this release. *  For those users with older devices that cannot run iOS 8, just stay with the older version of ProTransport, it is still fully supported and can still be restored from the AppStore without problems. *

### 2.5.3 — 2012-07-28

Minor bug fixes.

Please be sure to download the latest server from our web site.  It is required for this update.
