## Most critical reviews (5 lowest-rated)

### 2/5 — You get what you pay for.

*2021-06-09, version 2.1.18*

Was initially stoked on the wide range of functionality in a free app, but after a month of use, the potential of this priduct is overshadowed by unintuitive design, frustrating unreliability in client connectivity, and a lack of product support. Guess I have to buy a stream deck after all.

### 5/5 — Top notch

*2024-06-02*

This app is STILL amazing and useful and works on the latest Macbook Pro!  

The fact that it is free is amazing.  Nice work, developer!!!

### 5/5 — Available on Linux!! 5-Stars!!

*2020-05-14, version 2.1.18*

I tried every app on App Store looking for a way to control OBS remotely. 

Every other app doesn’t work with Linux. 

This worked in my favor because I came across UpDeck, which not only works perfect with Linux, but if far more powerful then any other deck I tried.

I love this app, thanks to the developers!

### 5/5 — Great product, makes OBS more powerful

*2019-03-11, version 2.0.1*

This product has really streamlined our productions and allowed me to add a lot of animated effects and scene features that would be too cumbersome to do by hand. I’ve developed a deck to go with each of our scene collections. There are a lot of features so don’t expect to learn everything in a day.

### 5/5 — Outstanding Product

*2018-08-15, version 1.9.1*

The learning curve may be a bit steep for folks with no programming skills, but this presented the perfect solution for my streaming setup. No Elgato stream deck needed, now my phone can do the exact same things for a fraction of the cost. Well done sir. If you’re able to incorporate more social media functions in the future that’d be awesome. I’d also love more tutorial videos to get the maximum functionality. Great job, support this dev.
