AVCommander vs Reachable

Turn your iPhone or iPad into a professional AV control center. Communicate directly with any equipment via TCP, UDP, HTTP, Telnet, WebSocket, and JSON-RPC protocols. Build your own custom interface with buttons, sliders, and toggles, arranged exactly the way you want. AVCommander is a dynamic control application designed to interface directly with professional AV equipment over IP networks. Rather than relying on pre-programmed logic or third-party control processors, the app generates UI on-the-fly based on added devices. KEY FEATURES Dynamic UI Generation The interface is built automatically from your devices. Add any device, and the app creates the appropriate controls — power buttons, volume sliders, input selectors, and more. Scene Management Create scenes to execute multiple commands with a single tap. Configure "All On" to power up your entire system, or "All Off" for shutdown. Add any number of commands to each scene. Command Automation Set repeat timers for any button (0.5 to 3600 seconds). Perfect for automated presentations, looped content playback, or scheduled commands. UI Password Protection Secure your interface with a 6-digit password. Use with Guided Access to prevent app exit and disable Edit Mode for end users. Recommended for installed systems. 17 Languages The app supports 17 languages, making it accessible to users worldwide. Dark & Light Themes Comfortable interface in any environment. Dark theme for dimly lit control rooms, light theme for bright spaces. Screen Rotation The UI adapts automatically to any orientation. Rotate your device and the controls adjust instantly.

Know you’re online—and whether it’s usable—before the call drops. Reachable answers one question when you join a new network: Is this actually the internet, and is it good enough to use? What you get Automatic check on launch — no hunt for a “run test” button. Latency — quick HTTP timing so you can see if the network feels responsive. Download speed — a simple Mbps snapshot, not a lab report. Your public IP — useful when you’re debugging VPNs, tunnels, or “why does this site see the wrong place?” A human verdict — plain language like what kind of use the connection is probably fine for. Captive portal help — when the Wi‑Fi wants a login page, open it in-app and get past the splash screen. Why location is requested On iOS, Approximate Location is used so the app can read the Wi‑Fi network name (SSID) you’re on. Reachable doesn’t need your precise location to run the checks. Built for real life Coffee shops, airports, coworking, guest networks, and “it says I’m connected but nothing loads.”
