Thanks for nothing
All I needed was an app that would control 6 - 8 lights at a time. Sidus link worked fine. I don’t need an app that has a weeks long learning curve and still doesn’t control the same lights I had working with the old app. It has been nothing but trouble shooting.
Don’t do me any favors like this.
Thx.

Puts basic hardware functionality behind a paywall
Even after purchasing all my Aputure lights and the Sidus One CRMX controller Aputure STILL blocks the CRMX functionality I already paid for behind an ongoing paywall. This reminds me of when BMW put their heated seats behind a monthly subscription. What’s the point of purchasing CRMX lights and a CRMX controller if I have to pay extra indefinitely to use it?

Took My Lighting Control to the Next Level
I don’t typically write app reviews, but after reading previous reviews I felt I should tap in with my thoughts.
First off, this app says “pro” for a reason. It’s not just to control lights wirelessly and make them change to pretty colors. It is immensely more than that and was built for people that are ready to expand on production lighting at an affordable cost. For me, I own several different brands of lights along with Aputure and Amaran that I want to have control of all at once. So for me, CRMX, was the way to go. Also creating presets and key frames for lighting transitions was also essential. This does all of that with no issues, at least in my experience, and more.
I get the frustration that you spend money on a light, so why pay more money? But that’s not the purpose of this app. It’s built to compete with Blackout and other control systems that are a lot more expensive. If you want to just wirelessly control a light, there are other free apps for it, like Amaran or Sidus. But this will take your lighting to a pro, production level, like it’s helped me do. If you’re in that space, I think it’s a more affordable option over Blackout.

“Thanks for the update”
All my presets stopped working. And the backup says it’s not supported by the new version. Awesome!
Response from developer
I hear you, and I am so incredibly sorry. That is a major setback to your workflow, and we take full responsibility for that.Currently, you can copy the files to a new folder as a temporary workaround to get them running. Just wanted to let you know that we’ve already pinned down the bug. We are currently finalizing a patch to fix both the preset failure and the backup support issue. You can expect a small update to roll out in the next day or two to get everything back to normal. Again, my sincerest apologies for the headache. We’re on it!
Needs an account
Updated: Free Plan is a lie! Still needs an account, so they’ll just take it away again later.
Original:
Basic functionality shouldn’t need an account. I already bought the lights! Pro features are one thing - I’ll make an account when I’m ready to upgrade.
I didn’t mind since they have another app with no account needed - but that app’s now labeled “legacy”, implying it’s going away.
