### 5/5 — Functional!

*2025-07-10*

This app isn’t perfect, but it gets the job done, and doesn’t require an account / internet connection like the new one. I’ll keep using it as long as I can.

### 4/5 — Есть проблема

*2024-12-19*

Если лампы разной модели объединить в группу ,то они могут отображать цвет с разным оттенком, а не одинаковым как должно быть! Например лазурный цвет может быть пурпурным. Пробовал объединить лампы MC Pro, pt2c, infinibar PB12. Не нашел почту поддержки решил написать здесь. Исправляйте свои лампы или приложение - производитель!

### 3/5 — Subscription Fatigue

*2024-08-04, version 1.9.17*

Another subscription just to access a ‘console’ view.  C’mon, this isn’t a service. I love my Aperture lights, but this is an unnecessary paywall.

### 3/5 — Needs better tools

*2024-05-16*

It a good app overall but it definitely needs a wall tool, or at least a drawing tool. Also it’s a shame you can only scale objects up to 3x, it should be free form, please update it.

### 5/5 — Can we get Split View Compatibility?

*2024-04-20*

This is a great app and I enjoy using it, and with that it deserves a 5 star review. Only thing that can make this app better is Split View compatibility!

### 1/5 — Diagram master not Working anymore

*2024-03-06*

At the moment I can’t use the diagram master anymore as it doesn’t allow me to add elements to a scene. That’s pretty terrible considering I’m paying for a subscription

### 2/5 — Cannot connect the Internet

*2024-02-19, version 1.9.16*

looks good to connect our 600d, but why can’t I connect the Internet using WiFi? Can’t even pay for the floor plan feature. Sigh…  Anyone has the same issue?

### 3/5 — needs to support shortcuts

*2024-02-04, version 1.9.16*

would be much more useful if it could be automated with shortcuts

### 1/5 — I paid but I don’t have access to the paid features

*2024-01-31*

Non existent customer support.
I paid for the subscription but for some reason I still don’t have access to the paid features.
I sent them 2 emails, the first one 6 days ago and the 2nd one yesterday, but I haven’t heard back yet.
Very frustrating.

**Developer response:** We are very, very sorry, we have received your feedback. Please tell us your Sidus account,  we will confirm whether your order is effective.

### 3/5 — Why no Shortcuts & Siri? Besides this it‘s good.

*2023-11-11*

I am using Sidus Link for about a year now. On mobile everything is too small for me, so I am happy, that there is an iPad version now!! It is good, features are great and working very reliably. HOWEVER 😳- you can‘t control anything via Apple‘s shortcuts, nor Siri, nor anything else outside the app. That‘s a pity. Do I want to jump back and forth between 5 apps while I am running my stream? No. Please add the possibility of Shortcuts and Siri as fast as possible. In that case I‘d update my review of course.
