Disconnects reliably.

Addressinng will take twice as long as expected because the app will simply disconnect from the astera box every 5 minutes, and the only reliable way to reconnect is to forget the device and pair again. (it’s best to have that written down on you at all times) At best Ive had to do this once every 15 minutes, at worst every 5 minutes. Do NOT lock your phone while using the app.
I’m giving it two stars because when it works, it’s actually quite handy.

Not impressed

Just used for a Coca-Cola add and app is simply not reliable enough! Lots of bugs... disconnects, lights disappear... Slow response...

Sure! ,

Needs work

These tubes are pretty good for theatre and weddings.
However, if you’re hoping to use them in film and especially if you need to have live cues and individual control over fixtures during an effect or even quickly switch effects or ( audible gasp ) run two effects, you may want to reconsider.
I’m sure the app developers will rebuild the app soon, but in the meantime, be aware of the limitations ( and anger mixed with liberal frustration) you are about to encounter.
Also, if your using the English version, grab a highlighter and take a good read of the manual. The typos are fun.
