Universal Control Customer Insights

1. Please inform the user when there are updates on app stor apps and sound board apps.Amazing product, bad app experience, everything is too small.. Too many knobs in one screen..barely usable with a 10" display... I'd like something like behringer app, few things on the screen, "Fine" function and suitable for any screen size, Presonus, please!!! With a good android app It will be the perfect wireless mixing console!I'm purchasing the 24R, but I am going to have to scramble for a control device.

2. I am sure the new version will be awesome, but having to upgrade UC Surface and the mixer firmware.at the same time is bad form.The last update have some troubles with the touch function on Android phones.

3. I might be able to see the entire board that is compressed into one small screen if I had a microscope, but the screen is also so dark it might help if you had an option to invert the display colors.

4. Please give an option to expand or scroll the pages, or create a version that will work for an Android smartphone (which I believe Behringer has) that we could use in emergencies.

5. I got a screen popup that told me to upgrade the firmware on my mixer.

6. That's what I would give this app if they would just get the app to connect to either of my presonus boards using my touch screen Gen 1 Samsung Chromebook Plus.

7. Now every time I change scenes on the mixer, and random times, the app tells me to update the mixer firmware.

8. Totally unusable on Android LG v20 screen.

9. There are no pages and it looks nothing like the photos on the store page.I had my kindle on auto update, so I got the new version.

10. When you select a function, like any EQ parameter, it stays selected even if you don't have the finger in the screen.

11. PLEASE...PLEASE get connectivity working for the Android app on Chromebooks.Love it when it works but it constantly crashes.
