I like the app interface and features overall, but the largest problem is reliability. It has connection issues where the slider or head will randomly drop connection. If the connection drops, the slider will finish its motion, but the head will not. This app needs updates that focus on connection reliability. Pretty embarrassing given the price of the equipment. Likely trying to push you to buy their wired controller instead - which is unscrupulous. They advertise this as working with an app, but the app is so unreliable I constantly have to watch the app to make sure it stays connected.

The App has been working very well for me. iPhone 14pro max. I haven’t had any connectivity issues at all and have used it for a good number of weeks now. So far, so good. The only issue I have is if you change the speed and don’t save a pose, it doesn’t change the speed. The speed selected needs to be saved as a pose before the speed will operate at that speed. Intuitively I would think you can change speed to any speed without saving just by moving the sliders, until I saw the sequencer and I think that is where locking in speeds for each pose makes sense.

For what this hardware costs, this app should be a lot better. The Timelapse and stop motion features only work with two poses. The normal sequencer is too fast for many Timelapse scenarios. The app shuts you out when you’re not connected, so you can’t watch tutorials or edit sequences on your down time. The app disconnects when you switch modes, so you have to pull batteries and reboot to reconnect. I’m not sure if the sequences will keep running when your phone is disconnected. That said, I’m not sure there’s a better alternative out there.
