This is the fourth review my other three having been removed by crestron Instead of fixing the problems they provide a useless and dysfunctional update to remove the reviews so as to have others fall victim to an app which is hopelessly bad Considering the cost of the app and associated hardware one would have thought that someone with a conscience at Crestron would fix the problems Needless to say nothing The app now freezes at terms and conditions so it simply does not work Let s see how long it will take them to delete this review instead of fixing the problem     Useless Macan2345

Can t get past the terms of agreement had same problem on iPhone For those of us that have a smart house use Crestron app to control its very annoying     Not working Karen Higginbotham

Does not readily get past he Accept terms force screen Come on guys make it a bit easier Especially for an app you charge 99 for Addendum persistently tapped on the agreement terms boxes and I was eventually able to get the boxes to check Not sure why this is so difficult         Not working now Waccou

App will not allow me to accept terms of service and is currently unusable Please advise     Terms of service update Chewbacka@@@@

But your incompetence and indifference is hastening it New app updates freezes on first screen Nice work     Your monopoly is coming to an end Cimmerian2

Make sure your AV integrator knows what he s talking about before downloading This clown told me l needed to purchase Crestron Mobile Pro G from the App Store for about 100 After purchasing and installing he tells me Oh you downloaded the wrong one Now he says I was supposed to download Crestron For iPad free to install but with an in app purchase for the license to control the Crestron system     Wrong version Jmtrc

iOS 10 says this won t work in next release needs 64 bit version Also crashes if VoiceOver is on             Needs update Duff.K

Buy the Crestron for iPad app instead That will get you the current smart graphics standard and allow for more modern interface designs This program is not meant for end users to program It is in place of buying a panel that costs upwards of a thousand dollars For those who bought this and are complaining about the programmers I have two suggestions One find a certified programmer Two understand that the AV system is only as good as the hardware If you buy consumer grade equipment discreet control is all but impossible Look for devices with com ports on the back Another option is buy a Crestron digital media switcher and make use of the CEC functions built into the hdmi 1 3 standard                     Great but obsolete NJackman

You pay 99 for it then have to pay a Crestron programmer to do anything and everything with the app Want to put it on another iPad Pay a programmer Want to add any components to control Pay a programmer Something stops working quite often Pay a programmer They update it about once a year and it s buggy crashes and just doesn t work about 25 of the time Great for the Crestron authorized dealers and programmers bad for the user consumer     Crazy expensive and hard to use MCRICO Flyer

This crestron thing is slow crashes often and requires a programer for any change in the way devices are controlled Since the programmers I found are lowsy this gives me a crapy unreliable slow expensive system     Crapy sy.marie.helene

The iPhone app does not anchor properly on the iPhone 5 You would think this would be fixed by now         Needs fixing Sz123$

Product okay Just wish you didn t have to purchase individually for each of your own devices Sometimes I have iPhone handy others ipad Doesn t seem fair to consumer that a purchase must be made twice             Review francesshag

At first it was great everything was working Now it is taking forever to update it s been 15 minutes and it has not updated and I haven t been able to use the app             Updating Time Philip Simotas

On ipad3 we have to wait for the app to update the status all the time Upgraded to ipad4 hoping the extra CPU speed would help but now we cannot use it because the app crashes during start up Had to keep the ipad3 s so we can continue to control our house and now have to live with a very slow response during each status update Crestron please fix the problems with this application             Crashing during startup on ipad4 Kktbf51

Not all that in a bag of chips It has to update all the time When it does this it can take up to 5 minutes         Not all that Marty Rob

Good update                     Update error Topmav3

This app is awesome my programmer set me up so I can leave the house for trips and turn the temperature to where I want it right before I board my plane I save money every week and my house is nice and cool when I walk in the door I can turn on my lights from anywhere in the world I m sure my cat thinks the house is possessed because the lights go on and off but it s just so cool to show people I can control all the stuff in my house wherever I am I don t have any problem connecting quickly there s a setting to check for updates my guy told me to leave that off unless I have changes made                     I travel and I love this app workaholic782

Bring back the way last version connects                 Not as fast to connect Rlmay45

This was a great addition to my control systems in my office and home I first added it to my home and it was a little shaky at first but after a few updates it really became my goto device even though I have wired panels throughout the house I then had iPads integrated into all my conference rooms at my office this was more cost savings than anything We were able to update all the technology in all our conference rooms without having to buy brand new 3000 touch panels                     A nice compliment to my control system Robodon23

If you updated the app and it was programmed in portrait mode just go to creston settings in the system preference screen then lock the screen in portrait mode and presto                 Solution for portait mode Maxvaldes

iPad will not rotate to portrait mode And can not use all the features Bad update wait for to fix         iPad problem Help me more

I must say that the Adagio Crestron system as a whole is quite amazing That being said I spent the equivalent of a new BMW to have my house automated The iPad app was one part of the control options integrated into the automation However the developers of this app just get it wrong over and over We are continually pinned down by the horrible output of the Crestron Mobile Pro app It essentially calls into question the validity of the entire decision to automate in the first place Each update causes another round of technical issues which in turn requires a service call from the dealer aka One would think that a 99 app should simply work I guess we were all wrong And yes my screen is stuck in landscape as well This update needs to be fixed and all future updates need to be listed with a warning     Update needs updating Clint Carlton

After this update I am no longer able to connect to my work systems via VPN     Update Broke VPN access amoricaorbust

App is slower than ever iPhone version now doesn t work in the vertical position Very cumbersome when it loses connection Crestron needs to improve this or I will scrap the whole system What a waste     Terrible Cap'n-T

This was a wonderful app until I loaded the update Now it won t work my iPad doesn t open at all gives me a message that says Panel is designed for landscape mode only and the iPhone version only works in horizontal mode and not in vertical at all I ve paid a small fortune for the system and the apps we deserve better for the so called update which has ruined the application which I need due to traveling away from home and needing to monitor home systems This needs to be corrected IMMEDIATELY     update ruined the app Won Aspiring musician

After reading all the negative reviews I have a few suggestions for those of you not happy with the app First if your not a crestron dealer or know how to program in debt systems do not purchase this app or give negative reviews based on your ingnorance Second if you have payed a company to get this working for you and you are having major issues connection problems poor control issues Fire your integrator and hire someone that knows what they are doing not some cheap trunk slamming AV company Also if your AV company had you purchase this app before they got everything up and running both of you are idiots This app when properly programmed and using proper equipment can run multiple iPads iPhones and control hundreds of lights shades TVs and integrate with multiple different equipment manufactures                     What a joke CubanB3

The new update opens the program so quickly that you can no longer get to the settings It used to be that when you opened the app you had to quickly hit the settings button to get to them Now there is no way to get to the options If I ever need to make a change I will not be able to             Can t get to settings Shamu124

The new download crushes the buttons when the iPod is horizontal     New update SMRGOLFIN

Hi Thats Great App but I have a problem my design in the Ipad is horizontal when i update the app the objects are crushed                     Problem ARMS_Beat

Been using this for a while now Controls security at my house as well as controls for my pool and jaquzzi Really pleased My only complaint is if you ve paid for the iPad app you should have access to the iPhone version with ought having to buy again                 Works great for me Electric44

I ve been using this app for approximately 6 months to control my entire basement theater and lighting The cool factor is certainly here to show off to my friends However it doesn t take long to realize how impractical it is to use the app due to continuously having connection interruptions When the program sits idol too long you essentially need to reboot the app and start over I ve finally started to only use this app to turn my basement on and set my scenes I then only use my crestron remote to change channels control the blu ray etc Is it worth a 100 to show off to your friends and then use the remote for your daily use Your call remember too you also have to pay the programmer to sync your app with your system another 100 or more         Cool but not practical Cdobber

The problem with app is that always looses connection and take 3 mins too online Crestron needs to address this The app isn t very practical if it goes offline all the time and needs to reconnect     Crestron connection Marcmen

In reply to Jafetica888 there is so much wrong with your situation it s sad You need to hire a different integrator the one you re using obviously doesn t know what they re doing As you experienced Crestron really doesn t deal directly with end users You wouldn t expect Boeing to help because you had a bad experience with American Airlines would you Contact Crestron and ask for a dealer programmer recommendation They WILL help you with that The shown screen templates ARE available on Crestron s web site to authorized dealers Is 99 for the app REALLY that egregious How much have you spent on your automation system How much is a Crestron touchpanel which you re not buying because you have the iPad app If feedback to the iPad is slowing down the system that much your processor is already overloaded and or not programmed correctly You absolutely can use more than one iPad at a time The system just needs to be programmed to allow it Your integrator is confusing the fact that only one iPad can connect to a single instance in the program at a time They just need to add another instance The only exception is if you are using Prodigy which I am starting to suspect This is Crestron s entry level system and as such has some severe limitations to keep the cost down Again find another integrator if only to give a second opinion on your system These issues CAN and SHOULD be resolved                 Don t Blame The App For Bad Programming Splice1138

Let me try to write something positive first though I am hard pressed after a day of trying my integrator got the program partially to work I can control my house through my Ipad which is what I wanted This is also where it ends One is essentially buying a black screen and has to pay a programmer to write a program for it no template is provided The pretty pictures that Crestron shows are nothing but that no template is provided even for the most basic functions Wouldn t this be the minimum expectations for a 99 app Still don t know what I got for my money I said above that the controls work but it is slow cumbersome very limited and far from smooth Any feedback from the system to the Ipad like displaying the playlists and what songs TV is playing slowed down the system to the point of unusability and we had to take it out YOU CAN NOT USE TWO IPADS AT THE SAME TIME really Wouln t this make sense to have easy controls for each family member either ipad or pod Tried calling customer service and it is frightening to observe their I don t care attitude and one literally telling me we don t talk to consumers WHAT Continuaton of all the other challenges with Crestron really can t recommend any of their products     rather disappointing Jafetica888

I d l d this app to install on my iPad2 to be able to FULLY run and control my Crestron Adagio system in my yard I have five zones Sirius and two iPods connected and I wanted to be able to CONTROL each zone and each device There are NO VISUAL voloume controls so I managed to BLOW four speakers out Also you cannot finger control the software on the iPad you have to use this dumb little up and down arrows with over 8 400 songs on my iPod you can imagine how FRUSTRATING that is Had I known then what I know now I NEVER would have purchased this app THEN PAID my software consultant 1 000 to install and configure everything not to mention 179 for the Apple AirPort Extreme PLUS another 550 for blown speakers an 1 800 DISAPPOINTMENT     Not worth the money lacks useful functionality BSabio

I m a Crestron dealer in Los Angeles and have installed about a dozen iPad driven Crestron systems so far this year The program requires a bit of tweaking and doesn t have all the functionality depicted in the demo That said this app programmed and configured correctly of course is probably the single most impressive innovation we ve seen in 28 years of business It s by far the best addition upgrade anyone can make to their existing home automation AV system and it s especially well suited for people new to home automation and technophobes It s an astonishingly cool revolutionary game changer that essentially makes any other wireless touch panels at 2 6 times the cost obsolete Without exception every one of my clients are delighted with the app Michael Daugherty                     The greatest thing ever Alistaire S

I purchased the app to control my stereo system tuner and ipod I m disappointed with the integration with the ipod I am unable to easily change the playlist The back button and arrows do not enable you to select and change the playlist The functionality to change songs on the ipod is straightforward although slow to respond The volume control is not available as I do not have a crestron tuner and the tuner presets are only programmable by the installer The app is a great concept although I m disappointed with the current functionality and ease of use         App is a great idea although functionality needs improvement Danieele

I use this app to control my home theater as well as all the lights and temperature in my house My iPad has 3G service from AT T so I can even access my house and monitor and control things remotely This just came in really handy I left in a rush for the airport and when I was half way there I couldn t remember if I turned off all the lights When I got to my gate I turned on my iPad logged into my house and made sure that everything was off So cool                     This app is awesome A1m1

Bought two copies for my ipad and my wife s ipad The app continuously locked up and didn t work My dealer Integrysis in Chicago tried to get crestron to fix the bug but a month later it was still locked up Had to switch to teleport app as an alternative I called Crestron support for a refund and they told me to go to apple In fact his exact quote was if you buy a coke from a vending machine and it doesnt work you dont call coke call the vending machine Can you spell RIP OFF     THIS APP HAD BUGS AND DID NOT WORK DO NOT BUY Zjediknight

This app used to be great Now it crashes says Low Memory and is missing text on the lights cable and iPod sources please fix or let me go back to old version ASAP         Problems Jaypark30

Similar to the review by mdv I m using this with the Prodigy system The update requires frequent reconnections to the system and the first screen of media options is blank you have to scroll up to find yours I don t have any lighting controls yet but will definitely hold off on purchasing any until they fix this app         New update reduces functionality nbmp

This app allows your iPad to have the same controls as a expensive Crestron touch panel You must have a programmer dealer that understands the iPad programming modules We have several installed in our organization with more to come                     Great App for Professional Installations AV-Texas

I ve had this app for 7 months for my Crestron home system The lighting and a v work pretty good when they work The problem is that the app actually resides in the Crestron processor and not on the iPad This results in the processor having to send the entry screens to the iPad every time you connect But there us a major problem with connecting to the processor Sometimes it takes rebooting the processor and up to 10 minutes of on off restart to get it to work I ve replaced all the switches and routers in the house and installed new Apple AirportExtremes all to no avail Then Crestron engineers came to my home on 2 separate occasions to troubleshoot the problem At first they said the system is not designed to operate with multiple wireless access points so I split my networking two but that wasn t the problem Now they say that their only hope for a fix is a new Mobile Pro G update supposedly submitted to Apple in January 2011 In the new version the app will reside on the iPad and simple send commands to the Crestron processor It is now almost May 2011 and the app update has still not been released Apple said in an email to me this week after I submitted a tech support question that it only takes Apple a few days to release an app once it is submitted to them So where is the update Is Apple lying a few days to release or Crestron update submitted Jan 2011 As for me I m stuck with a product that doesn t perform like Crestron said it would This sure makes me gun shy about dealing with both Crestron and Apple         Waiting for the fix TexanTaylor

This is a fantastic app and a better cheaper alternative to purchasing another Prodigy remote The installer took 2 hours to program and the app is more user friendly than the remote Highly recommend to anyone using the Prodigy system                     Wonderful remote ADKnick

Awsome app I can control my entire home from anywhere Setting thermostats and lights while away is awesome The gestures are a nice touch Get a good programmer because the app is only as good as the program it was written on I used E D Electronic Dreams In Houston to do mine Ask for Wes                 Wow Shudabo

Nothing like what they advertise The controls are totally different from what is advertised     Scam Carey_p

This app turns the iPad into a great easy to use touch panel This might not be the answer for a commercial site but is perfect for residential The ability to surf the net check email and control my house for less then half a standard Crestron panel is well worth it If you don t know what Crestron is then I recommend contacting a dealer first this is not something you can just download and go if you have Crestron already then i would recommend this for home or a nice 2nd panel at the office                     Crestron panel Lake-effect

This app is incredibly fast to connect and works wonderfully Can t wait for native support of rotation between portrait and landscape but so far so very good                 Awesome for us and our clients WDR4
