Works Great!

Been using for a year in our production trailer w/BMD ATEM TV Studio HD. No problems at all. Makes switching & running complex macros a breeze for our TD. Nice work!

Hasn’t worked for a few months already

I bought the STRATA pro app for $50 and it worked good for a while and a few months ago it stopped working. When I try to type in the IP address it doesn’t stay there, I’ve tried everything but there is no way to “save” the IP. If I click on settings or “return” on my keyboard it goes back blank once I click on settings again. Recently I bought STRATA Macro (another $50) thinking maybe this app will work fine but it has the same problem. If the developer team is going to look at the comment (or for the readers) I went from at 192.168 type of IP to a 10.1.10 type of IP address. I do not think that should have any difference for the app because all the other apps (even the free trial ones) work fine with this new IP address. I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt and hope that the development team looks into this problem and fixes it because I practically threw $50 down the drain (I will not say the same about the STRATA PRO app because I was able to use it for a while).

If the development team looks into this problem and fixes it I will change this review.
