    Full of bugs
    Good attempt but full of bugs. Enough issues to where I’m going back to a pc to control dmx. Specifically channel assignments don’t store correctly and cause lighting havoc in this app. It doesn’t work. Perhaps an ios13 issue but either way won’t work. Show more

    Simple UI and Great Controls
    Having used some more expensive DMX apps, I really appreciate how easy this is to use and customize. I’m using it for filmmaking applications and creating different groups/zones is incredibly simple. The developer is also really responsive and open to user requests as well! Show more

    Easy to use, intuitive interface.
    Until recently I have been using the Luminair app, which cost $100 and the interface isn’t nearly as easy to use. With Photon, even the Free version has more than enough features to run the lighting for my live shows, and I was able to set up a show with custom lights in a only few minutes. I really don’t know why this app has the reviews that it does, Because it is simple, functional, intuitive, and affordable. The only reason I did not give a 5-star review is that there is no way to sync your data to another device. That would be useful for me because I do not have dedicated iPad for my venue we use more than one device. We have to program each instance of this app individually, which is an inconvenience. I hope that sync and/or share is the feature that will be at in the future. Show more

    Stay away from this app!!!
    This app seems to be easy to set up, but the useful sequencing features are hidden behind a paywall. Once you spend $25 you will find that there are many annoying quirks that make lights flicker off and on when the sequence repeats (even when your trying to hold a light steady). It also crashes frequently. I was regretting my purchase with minutes. I really wish I could get my money back. The company is also unresponsive to questions sent via the website. Absolutely terrible app. Very disappointing!!! Show more

    Crashes and isn't easy to edit
    I wanted this app to work and paid the $29 for the sequencer and beat analyzer to get the extra features. However it's hard to setup fixtures, the most common fixtures are not in the library (just older discontinued ones), you don't have individual RGB channel control just a color wheel so you can't do amber + UV for example as a color and warm whites are out, the app crashes every 20 minutes, sequence duration is hard to edit, phantom sequences get inserted and can't be deleted, and the beat analyzer doesn't work for non 4/4 time signatures or anything slower than 110 BPM. Fades are also not very smooth at all and cross-fades are jumpy and quite ugly even if you adjust dimmer modes on your fixtures. I've tried contacting support but that was non-existent as well. Save your money and try something else. Can't recommend this and feel like I wasted $29. Show more

    May work
    Like previous reviews say, it seems to have potential, but has a few bugs that make it crash and you can't access the interesting part of the app without the in-app $24 purchase. There are many apps for doing the free portion of this app that may actually do it better. Show more

    It might work - who knows?
    There is really no way to try this app without making an expensive inApp purchase. It looks like it has potential but it has a few bugs in fixture addressing and the number of functions for program channels is too limited. I had high hopes but I'm not going to drop $25 if I can't even test it on a single fixture. Show more

    Looks promising but it's broken.
    On the screen to add devices it it just blank with no buttons anywhere to add devices even though the guide tool tips say to click here to add device.
