Hidden price, very expensive product

I am regretting buying this app, it have a hidden pricing, the app show 14.9$ lifetime buy I ended up to pay more then 150$, and when i requested a refund none reply, do not buy the app if you do not want to burn your money

Does not work

Crashes at opening in iPad Pro M2

Never got results

I wanted to record iPad camera at 60fps and NDI input at 60fps. NDI was ok but iPad always 30fps despite correct config. The dev never wanted to fix. Not a cheap app when you add essential IAPs. For me, a waste of money.

A true game-changer for portable churches

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Top Director has completely changed how we handle video as a portable church. The fact that this app runs with zero wires is a total game changer. No long cable runs, no tangled mess, no setup stress. We can walk in, power up, and go live.

One of the best parts is the ability to pick and choose only the upgrades you actually need. You’re not forced into an expensive, bloated system. Between that flexibility, not needing dozens of extra cords, and being able to use devices we already owned, this app literally saved us thousands of dollars compared to traditional setups.

When we discovered the Bluetooth video switcher on Amazon made specifically for this app, we knew instantly this was the right solution for us. Having that level of control without extra hardware fits perfectly with a mobile, fast-setup environment.

If you’re a church, ministry, or organization that sets up and tears down regularly, and you want professional results without professional-level headaches, Top Director is absolutely worth it.

You can create an NDI camera feed from almost any device of PC for extra cameras and worship lyrics on screen. Only thing is you really should have a serious internet connection and strong router to run multiple wireless cameras.

The ability to color grade with LUT’s, use transitions live, ad background music, and video intros and outros make this an absolute beast do a system.

Cost-
Honestly, we bought the $399 Bluetooth switcher console, and about $100 worth of in app upgrades, not realizing they came free with the console 😂. Even with that, our out of pocket expenses are way down over all and we OWN the system, not just another year of hundreds of dollars in subscriptions. Do the math. Win win.

Highly recommended.

Don’t waste your money

Airmix is free and you can customize it more

PIP Templates

This app is best suit my needs, I only wish that there is PIP template with square or round screen other than just rectangular screens available.
Best app so far
Thank you,

I paid for every option but output video is reversed

Please fix. Very disappointed, the app has a lot of promise.

Response from developer

Only built in selfie camera can be flipped in camera settings. If all the PGM output is reversed, please contact us directly, we need more clues to figure it out. www.topdirector.com/contact/

Nice app but Update the App

This app has nice features, however when syncing my IPad Pro 4th GEN 12.9 inch, with my IPhone 12 Pro Max, on a fast Wi-Fi router, the ipad sync up with the iphone, then it freezes. I tried another Wi-Fi router , and had the Wi-Fi router right next to the ipad and the iphone, for a good signal strength, but get same results, it freezes. I also have Fiber Optic high speed internet Service at my Residence, and it’s very fast, so it cannot be a Network issue, nor anything wrong with my IPad Pro 4th Gen, or my IPhone 12 Pro Max. 512 GiG. I have an app that Apple used to have for 5 Bucks, it was called Reco Studio, I just tried it with my IPad Pro 4th Gen, and my IPhone 12 Pro Max, on the same Wi-Fi router, and it works excellent, and doesn’t freeze! There is something wrong with the Top Director App. I did reach out to the Technical Support, was told that the problem appears to be my slow router or iPad and iPhone. I don’t think so. Please update the app so it doesn’t freeze, also, update the app so the iPhone doesn’t have to start recording in order to sync it to the iPad. Latest update 7/28/2024, I just completed the latest update this morning, when launching the Top Director app now, I keep getting the option to delete the Top Director album, and every time I select “Don’t allow, the app will not open, and now after trying several times of saying don’t allow, I finally decided to try “allow”, now the app crashes every time. I power-cycled my IPad Pro 4th Gen, and tried to open the app, but it still crashes. Please fix the issue. Thank you..

Excellente appli,mais il faut un texte roulant dans le overlays.

Crashes

Just download the app it looks promising, but it keeps crashing and I paid money for extra services and don’t really trust it right now due to the crashing you can’t have unstable apps for live streaming.

Response from developer

The app asks you to delete the album because there are more than one same TopDirector name albums on your device, which are probably created by different versions, simply following the app to correct it please. Go to iOS Settings-> TopDirector to allow TopDirector to visit your photos to play out, network to receive input etc. Or delete the app and reinstall again within all the access . If it still doesn’t work, please contact us directly at https://www.topdirector.com/contact/ so we can help you out.

Product is still incomplete (Feb 29 2024)

As of 2024. As a result, I can no longer recommend this switcher. Check out some of the developer’s NDI tools — many of which are excellent.

All the features of large, broadcast switchers!

I really loved using this app. And eventually, I did purchase most of the pay features. However, my iPhone was acting up and I had to delete a lot of apps for memory. Top Director was one of the apps I had to delete.

Now that I have redownloaded this app, I don’t see any way I can recover the features try at I ALREADY PAID FOR! Although this app is amazing, I will not spend any more money on it, since I already paid for most of them. I think there were only maybe 2-3 features that I did NOT purchase.

Any help? Any fix? I would love to be able to use this app again. Thanks!

Response from developer

Sorry to hear that. Can you please contact us directly at https://www.topdirector.com/contact/ so we can help you out? Typically poor network or lower configuration of iPad & iPhone can cause the unstable connection.

horrible terrible...and that's the nice take

Want an app that crashes at the worst time, here is your app.

Want an app that loses your social media setting, by all means, get this app.

Want an app with lots of promise, and gets you just about the finish line without getting you to end of the race, well just waste your money right here.

Is there something less than one star, maybe an imploding super nova, that is what I'd like to give this waste of time.

App is a little buggy. Crashes when using 4 to 5 camera on iPad 11.

App is nearly there. Outstanding issues are that it crashes when feeding in 5 to 6 cameras, and the NDI streaming to another computer does not work at all. I.e.the stream does not appear on the receiving computer on the same LAN which i checked with the NDI tool set. Lastly you can’t choose where to save the recorded files, so on an iPad it reverts to the camera roll, which will automatically rename the files and change the resolution of the recorded files on and iPad 11 pro. If all of these issues were addressed I would change my review to 5 stars. I tested this using a iPad Pro 11 with a class compliant 10GB network card as well and a properly spec’ed WiFI6 AX network.

Needs rtmp *input*

Looking for something just like this to connect two GoPros and switch between them. Unfortunately, it appears rtmp support is limited to streaming OUT to rtmp. GoPros stream out to rtmp. So I need TopDirector to support rtmp IN.

Seems too good to be true, upgrades/unlocks add up

This is some powerful software, but the price for unlocks adds up. Haven’t been able to test all of the apparent functionality. There is a lot.

Game Changer!

Take the time to get to know this app, it will pay you back and then some. The developer keeps improving and adding features.

No ridiculous rent to pay to use the app and it's additional features, pay once and that's it.

As a retired television production professional this feels like a Grass Valley on your iPad or iPhone.
