If you want to take full advantage of the app and support development, purchase Avomote Plus to unlock all features. Choose between a single lifetime purchase and a weekly/monthly rental which can be stopped at any time. The rental option is great if you prefer to pay only when you need it. The following features are unlocked with Avomote Plus: • Motion Control • Quick Merge Position Palettes • Cue List Control • Timecode After 01:00:00 REQUIREMENTS • This app is currently compatible with Avolites Titan 11 to 17. • All Avolites Titan consoles are supported except Titan One and T1. • The Avolites T2 requires Avolites Titan 12.1 or later. • The Cue List feature requires Titan 14 or later. • Halo and images on handles require Titan 14 or later. • The Advanced Clear feature requires Titan 15 or later.

The Shortcuts app is available on the App Store and requires iOS 13 or later. Payment will be charged to your iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Avomote at 3.0 against ViplexHandy's 2.4. Avomote also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 12%). ViplexHandy's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
