Review summary

METAControl is praised for its ease of use and effective basic functionality in controlling ATEM switchers, especially for one-person streaming setups. It works well across multiple Android devices and provides real-time control. However, users report crashes on some phones, issues purchasing the pro version, limited advanced controls like macros and recording, connection inconsistencies, and some user interface shortcomings.

Pros

Easy to set up and use for controlling ATEM switchers.
Reliable basic functionality for camera switching and control.
Supports multiple ATEM devices and works across different Android devices.
Enables one-person streaming setups effectively.
Provides good real-time updates and control of the switcher.

Cons

App crashes or fails to open on some devices (e.g., Samsung phones).
Issues with upgrade/purchase for the pro version (buy button not working).
Limited macro support and inability to fully control certain switcher functions (e.g., DSK, REC record button).
Connection inconsistencies, sometimes unable to connect to switcher reliably.
UI issues such as inability to see current program scene or extra steps in switching outputs.

2024-05-22	Ma*****	Totally useless. Crashes and or won't even open (app closes immediately after opening). Tried this on latest Samsung cellphones, it just won't work properly.

2023-01-08	Na*****	It gets the job done. DSK2A doesn't work (DSK2N & DSK work), which is one of the main reasons I paid for the upgrade. Sadly, no access to macros at all.

2022-09-16	Tr*****	Works for basic functionallity. Would love to see macro controls added so I can run macros from my phone without needing to have it connected to a computer.

2022-08-16	Ch*****	I was on a guest wireless network when I installed this 192.168.10.x My ATEM is on the internal network 192.168.0.x I have switched my wifi to the internal and restarted everything but the app still scans the 192.169.10.x network every time and will not find my devices.

2022-06-04	An*****	Downloaded on two phones. Works perfectly on OnePlus 6. Unfortunately, I don't see which scene is the current program on my Galaxy S22. I see a green button, but no red button. Wish that can be fixed.

2021-10-08	Ch*****	Great app for switching cameras in Atem mini - but I cannot buy the pro version (hitting the buy pro button nothing happens) and I cannot map the "picture in picture" buttons (might be a pro function?). Cudos to the developer for this app.

2021-07-22	Ja*****	I love the idea of the app. It switches cameras well. I can't get it to control the 'REC' record button even though I paid for the full version.

2021-02-24	Cr*****	Works OK on my Mini Pro ISO but needs a few tweaks. Please be able to assign buttons to immediate output switching without opening that extra selection dialog box. For what I need, it's fine.

2020-09-28	Ad*****	Pretty good app for a phone to control the ATEM mini Pro. We can configure the setting of each of the alloted buttons but would've appreciated if there were more functions that we could access to control the console in this app
