Great remote app

QLab Remote does everything it needs to do consistently and quickly. It has all the features necessary to run a show using QLab with nothing but a phone (with a Mac device to run the actual QLab software, of course.)
Great app, and if your production uses QLab I highly recommend!

A really good companion

An amazing app that goes really well with QLab. One thing that I would say is that is sometimes gets “confused” as to a cue’s status, and requires the playhead to be moved over the cue so that it can realise, for example, it is no longer panicking.

5.4.10

Qlab 5.4.10은 qlab remote를 사용할 수 없나? 빠른 답변바랍니다.

Didn't work when I needed most

Love the software and had high hopes for the phone app, but complete disappointment and a shaky connection and ultimately couldn't use it for the show I NEEDED it for. Wish I could get a refund...

Response from developer

Hi there, thanks for letting us know you're encountering a problem! Can you please contact us at support@figure53.com. We'd be happy to help you troubleshoot your connection.

Solid and reliable

I use this remote for live shows more than once per week, and have done for years. It is solid. My only issues ever have related to losing network connectivity which is not the app’s problem. It reconnects when the network reconnects.

Does exactly what it says

There are plenty of instructions on the QLab website.

Always crash

It’s crazy how many time that apps crash on me. Lost the link every 15 minutes…. and it’s a nightmare to try to reconnect every time. I have to say that the support is quick but how more complicated you can do an app for a go button and few more fonctions… I’m not recommend this app at all. I’m a professional in the industry for 35 years and they have to work on a connectivity that is work better. I have an answer from the support department but man this is so complicated for nothing, if you have too many people in your room it make the connection crash and too complicated for nothing and too expensive for what it is. Spend your money on a real GO button patch in your computer with a cable.
Sorry developers but you will have to find a better app especially for an app made for QLAB…
Don’t buy… and the free version is a joke…

Great app, but:

QLab is a great app and functions well. The only caveat I have with it is the Go/control button. I WISH it was significantly larger and more central! It’s often challenging to hit the button while doing a presentation, to the extent that I need to put my iPhone on lock mode and turn the phone upside down so my thumb can hit it when it’s at the top. Developers: Thanks for a great app, please consider significantly enlarging the button!

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! We have made the GO button possible to be resized to some degree. You can tap the "target" button in the navigation bar and drag the yellow handles to adjust the height of the On-Deck view. This gives GO more room to spread out. If you have any questions, please feel free to write us at support@figure53.com. ~BL

Déconnexion

Trop de déconnexion… Pas fiable.

Refund for in-app purchase, unusable

I’d like a refund from the developer please. Unfortunately I find the latency on QLab Remote makes it unusable for me. Hope to see an full iPad build of QLab someday, but this isn’t it.

Show Control only version, please?

In a world of increasingly buggy and poorly designed software, the QLab developers continue to succeed in delivering a quality product that is truly useful and versatile. Due to space limitations, for most performances our theater uses pre-recorded tracks rather than live musicians. QLab provides so much flexibility with its cues that I am able to fit the music to the performers rather than the other way around. As an added bonus, the MIDI and network cues allow us to control all of the mics and lighting, precisely synchronized with the music. The mobile version lets me edit and fire cues while sitting out in the audience area, which is a big benefit to me given that our tech booth is awkwardly positioned outside the sound pattern of the main speakers.

My big wish list item for the iOS app is a separate in-app purchase for an “operator-only” version that can be used to fire cues but not to make edits. It would be extremely useful for me to give a stage manager the ability to fire, stop, and restart cues during rehearsals without the risk of someone inadvertently changing the show design. It would also be nice if this could be provided at a lower price point than the Show Control and Editing option given the reduced functionality. I’m sure this option would spur a lot more app purchases since a typical theater may have only one or two show designers while using different stage managers and production team members for each show.

Surprised this isn’t more popular

I work In a theater where we run lots of dance recitals and competitions and being able to hand the client an iPad with all their music for rehearsal and performances bypasses the necessity for telex communicators as they can choose their own start and stop. Clients love it and it makes my job practically set up only.
11/10 love it. A little pricey but for our application very worth it. Couldn’t get the theater to cover it but even out of pocket I’d buy it again hands down

N’importe quoi

C’est quoi ses prix ???

Review

I love how the show files just popped up on my phone screen when I opened it on my computer. No pairing even needed, so nice.

MASSIVE UPDATE!

Everything that i needed in a Show Remote Figure53 has now added! every performance in a new venue i require extra help to do the simplest of tasks, like video map the surfaces and adjust audio levels.. but now i can do all fo this without having to go into the booth and control the main computer! i can do it from the remote walking around the stage! this is incredible! thank you thenk you thank you!! I may be a Magician but you guys created real magic!

Et les Notes pour la conduite ?

Bien, mais mériterait d'afficher les notes que l'on créé pour la conduite, plus qu'en appuyant sur une icône (faire ça à chaque effet, alors que c'est si simple de reproduire ce qu'il y a sur l'affichage QLAB de l'ordi (Conduite en haut, Cue en bas).

Bof et cher

Il manque des fonctions de base utiles en repet (previous/next, load to time, affichage du time en cours de lecture,...) pour le prix on s'attendait a bien plus complet !!! Mieux vaut se faire un remote perso avec touchosc par exemple.

This great! So very close to perfect.

This is so close to exactly what I was hoping for. It has made my work so much more accessible from anywhere in a space. My main complaint is that there is no way to access the Active Cues list. Having the ability to see all cues running, how they interact, running times, and the ability to pause and scrub are things I constantly need. Even if the delay made it not very responsive, it would still be invaluable in rehearsals and workshopping.

Very impressive, highly recommend!

I am new to Qlab and am currently working on a show. Opened the app and it automatically detected my two show files on two different Macs located on our network. Anything I've created in Qlab can be edited from the app. I can also add notes. Combine that with the remote feature and this is a great companion app for Qlab. Well done!

Overpriced, underfeatured

This is pretty much what it says it is: a remote. For $20, that's pretty steep. I have buyer's remorse, in a way.

You can do some things to the cues, but...I also find it a little strange feeling -- after hitting Go, you're not quite sure that it was hit. Doesn't quite feel right.

(And I'm paranoid you'll have to buy another one when v4 of Qlab comes out.)
