This will be coming in future release - MediaSwitcher for iOS does not have a maintenance window like desktop - For Enterprise users, version 1 does not support user logins - all users currently have access to the full system. This will be addressed in a future release. - +4+ Control is not available yet.

Our desktop app allows for use of a robust scripting language that is not allowed in iOS. - All scheduled automations still will require desktop or web to run (MediaSwitcher for iOS can run any automation that is programmed to a remote panel button.
