### 5/5 — Highly useful

*2019-05-24*

This app has absolutely changed my attitude towards NexGen as it has streamlined our baseball broadcasts, remotes & engineering. Super convenient & effective.

### 5/5 — Back to 5 Stars!!!

*2013-02-13*

Absolutely love this app. Now that its been updated it works flawlessly across all ios devices! Which means I can finally upgrade my phone!!

Thank you for listening and fixing this app!!

### 5/5 — Amazing for NexGen Intergration!

*2013-02-12*

With the new February 2013 upgrades this app has become a vital tool for our cluster of 6 radio stations. 

Whether you are an On-Air Talent voicetracking appearances, a program director monitor satellite feeds or an engineer who wants to have complete control of every station...THIS IS THEEE APP!

### 5/5 — New version works as promised

*2013-02-12*

Back to 5 stars.  New version works as promised over 3G, and VPN connections.

### 5/5 — RCS Remote

*2013-02-12*

The new version just released has IMO fixed the bugs and it works as advertised now!!

### 5/5 — Much Better Version

*2013-02-12*

So far so good on this update.  Works great over LTE and RCS has fixed the freezing issue when changing stations.  Valuable tool

### 3/5 — If you know it won't work, say so!

*2012-06-10*

We were considering purchasing iPads for each of our 4 stations and using the RCS Remote for "live" broadcasts while out at remote locations. Good thing we waited because we now know that this app has little to no functionality on new iPads (anything beyond the 1st Gen) and also doesn't work on iPhone 4S. These issues are known to RCS but they refuse to acknowledge this on any of their documentation or on phone support until you finally call to let them know you're having problems. Also, we're now down some cash from the VPN service we purchased because we were told we needed it. Wasted a tremendous amount of time and frustration on something that was never going to work and on something we would have gladly waited on exploring if only the specs/support had been clearer (upfront) on the devices that the app DOESN'T work on.

Will there be an update? Or is this it for what could be a wonderful tool.

### 1/5 — Lack of support for newer devices

*2012-05-08*

Works great on 3G, 4 and gen 1 iPad. Poor to no performance on 4s and iPad 2. 

Too bad. The app is really handy but seems that it is not being updated to be compatible with newer devices or perhaps the newer os. 

The issues I've been experiencing are not exclusive to me. I've seen others on the RCS community site that report the same issues. 

Works fantastic on older devices. Get it working for newer devises/os and will give 4+ stars.

### 1/5 — Poor service

*2011-11-03*

RCS support is great when it comes to a paid contract for NexGen. But their phone support of this app is nil. Furthermore, when phone support is requested, their cop out is a spec not mentioned in their end user documentation.  If you don't have VPN connecting iOS device to NexGen, they won't help with app connection problems. Good luck!

### 4/5 — I love it!

*2011-07-17*

Very effective and easy to use. Great for checking up on stations in emergency situations. I've already used it for weather warnings and updates. Still a bit sluggish at times. And I would love an update that allowed me to insert songs or spots by cart number and a segue edit feature. But so far, so good! Keep up the great work.
