User Reviews

Overall, users praise Eos Remote as intuitive and reliable for live productions, often stating it’s superior to ETC’s app and even IRFR, with a simple, user-friendly layout and fast technical support. However, recurring subscription issues dominate: trouble subscribing or renewing, missing in-app purchase options, and persistent checks that disrupt LAN workflows. The situation is worsened by the developer’s death and the app being removed from the store with the site down, leaving new users unable to access updates. Many want a one-time/licensing option instead of a subscription.

Pros

Intuitive, user-friendly UI with a great layout that’s easy to navigate.
Reliable and feature-rich for live productions; widely used as a go-to tool and saves time.
Superb compared to competing apps (better than ETC’s official app and IRFR).
Responsive, effective tech support that helped get us up and running quickly.

Cons

Ongoing subscription/paywall friction: trouble subscribing or renewing, missing in-app purchase options, and restore purchases issues.
Subscription checks disrupt LAN workflows; frequent network switching and 'subscription required' prompts on each use.
Post-developer-passing status: app removed from the store for new downloads and the site/official support gone.
Bugs in the subscription flow (check-for-subscription bug, inability to resume after cancellation).
Many users would prefer a one-time license instead of a recurring subscription.

Recent reviews

This was an amazing app. The fact that it was made by a sole developer who originally created it primarily to use for himself as a lighting technician, and yet it so throughly blows the official ETC RFR app out of the water is truly incredible. This was the industry go-to for a time. Many people likely do not know this, but that developer, Trent Barclay, passed away in January of 2025 after a tough battle with cancer, leaving behind a loving wife and newborn daughter. I think it is unlikely anyone else will ever take over the development of this app. So before you download this app, you should know that it is unsupported and understand that it will continue to become increasingly less usable over time. It is not because the developers do not care. It is because he is no longer with us. Please use a different app and do not review this app poorly due to its unsupported nature. It is an insult to the legacy of a brilliant and talented industry professional who helped all of us in this field so much by sharing this amazing app he created. I never knew him, but for a while my life was a little better because he was in the world. Rest in peace.

This app was amazing! Way better than ETC’s. I’m sorry to hear about the creator’s passing. RIP. This app has been my right hand for so many shows. Thank you!
