Very convenient and helpful tool!

By dimaxpab (Pcmac user)

I have used this app many times with many the app configurations (both touring and install) and I should say this app does come in handy with any and all configurations. I started with iLive years ago and I must say that was frustrating to work with. Then I used GLD, QU, and SQ, and now the app apps, and again, these are really well built and thought about. Those that expect this app to replace the surface should not own a the app system.. just wanted to start off with that. So I do want to stress that this should not be used to replace the surface but to instead help. What I also love is the fact that compared to the ilive, and qu apps, the (my 12.9) iPad Pro adds more channels on the screen as compared to on the smaller devices. The older apps would just give you 8 channels and just blow them up on the iPad Pro. So BIG change that makes things just a little easier.
Decent App

By Denversound (Pcmac user)

This is a pretty decent app. There are a few quirky things about it. I would love to have the ability to have portrait mode. Landscape only is quite limiting if the band wants to use it on stage. I'd also love if you were able to tap on the mix in the upper right corner and be able to select your mix from that location. It's cumbersome having to always go into the list of mixes at the bottom.
Thanks for nothing

My iPad was auto updated to this version. The mixer is still running 1.62. I am not sure when the mixer will be updated. I can no longer use the app to control the mixer. Apparently there is no way to revert back to a previous version.
