About this app

The aRFR from ETC provides a remote for any Eos family lighting system (Eos, Eos Ti, Gio, Gio @5, Ion, Element and Eos/Ion Remote Processors). This application requires Eos family software 2.6 or higher on the connected lighting system. Eos 3.0 or higher is required for Focus Wand. Please note the aRFR is NOT support by Cobalt.

The aRFR supports most features needed for programming and playback. It does not support remote patching and system configuration. A tab-based system changes the displays from the full keyboard, moving light controls, direct selects, playback tools and a cue list. Security controls prevent un-authorized access to a lighting system.

Ratings and reviews

Helpful to have a remote for your console always in your pocket, but functionality is rough. Definitely could use improvements /updates. Update: having to open the app with internet to verify that I paid is a royal pain, no longer easier to test lights when up on a ladder/lift. Also I sorely miss being able to patch fixtures. It looks prettier, but at least the classic version is less buggy. It's solid and dependable. I prefer classic free app now.

Pretty decent app, works well for what I need. But I wish it had wider functionality. Ie. If I want the full keyboards, it should be simple. The wand feature did work for me. And I'm happy the free version exists, but happier than the paid version is fixed priced (£30) and there is no monthly subscription, compared to EOS REMOTE. Overall, could be worse. But could also be even better!

This app is not being finished for android or whatever is the problem. A fairytale type. Sometimes it is there, sometimes not. Worked yesterday. For a moment today, than gone, and offering to buy a full version, that is odd, I did already. Any chance I could claim my money back? Add to this now it sais it is not the full version. I payed for this. Clearly stated on my bank account. Is there a tech support for this problem?
