This app wirelessly controls an Avolites Titan lighting console and is meant to offer complementary features to the official app. FEATURES • Keypad: Visually select, locate, and highlight fixtures and groups. • Motion Control: Rotate your phone to control pan and tilt. • Palettes: Apply palettes and update positions using Motion Control. • Cue List: Control the connected cue list. • Timecode: See the timecode in real-time. • Advanced Clear: Change action precedence, clear only selected fixtures, or all programmers. • Macros: Fire macros from your phone. • Shortcuts: Ask Siri to turn on a fixture or clear the programmer. • Torch: Turn on your phone light directly from the app. AVOMOTE PLUS Most of the app can be used for free. 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. Due to the fact that the remote is running on a different interface than the real console, some macros will have no effect at all when fired (especially all the ones related to the user interface). 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. Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Set Light at 4.5 against Avomote's 3.0. Set Light also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). Avomote's advantage is review sentiment (40% vs 0%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Set Light holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Set Light has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Set Light's written reviews are positive against 40% of Avomote's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Set Light ships an update every 2 months, Avomote every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and July 2, 2026 respectively.
