Ratings and reviews

Works fine for me on android 8 / lg v30 phone. Typically never bring my laptop any more to service calls, love this app! So far it seems that I only need my laptop for editing/creating custom drivers and initial set up. Pros Literally like zero pop ups asking me to renew, register, verify, incorrect firmware alerts, etc. It's a convenience and a half. Surely a laptop will be faster but if you forget your laptop or psu in the truck/shop this handy app saves you! Sometimes this app is actually better ! You get to avoid all the firmware version difference alerts and notifications composer pops up with. When you get to hundreds of customers you'll see what I mean. Cons 1) relocate the save/refresh navigator button to the same page as the device you are editing. 2) Possible issue with network discovery with older controller firmware? 3) Edit driver option Never really set up a controller start to finish on this app, so I can't comment on the registration process using this app. But this app is awesome for service calls.

I am pleased by the ease of use and sheer convenience this app presents. However, the lack of custom programming capability harms the usability of this app, and relagates it to the most basic of tasks. This app alone could be used as the reason to become a Control 4 dealer, and what the app does, it does extremely well. But I suppose Control 4 holds it back because of Composer Pro's exsistance, and the fact that if you could custom program on this app, there would be little reason to use pro.

I'm an Android user and it crashes every two clicks saying java error. I wish major corps such as snap would realize that the entire world does not work off iOS. So frustrating trying to service customers remotely without have to pull out my laptop for something that could be resolved by a simple app. Please fix this.
