Awesome app

Works like a charm. As long as you do the programming right the first time you won't have any problems. Only bad part is the size limitation but that's not relly because of the app anyways.
Excellent app, have your house on your hands

Amazing app, I can control everything under my Crestron system from my iPhone. Works really well, you can create the pages on VT Pro, assign to joins on the SIMPL program and then just enjoy controling your home theather, a/c, I even open my front door from my iPhone. Don't be scared off by people telling you it is rocket science, anyone with reasonable computer knowledge can learn how to program a Crestron system and this app. The only draback is the size of the program you can create on the iPhone app. I could only do half of what I wanted before the project reached the ~250k limit.
Crashes iPOD/iPhone WIFI Constantly
woowoostick
UPDATE: After trying to use this and troubleshooting for days here is what I have learned on my own; 1. Itouches and iPhones have horrible WIFI. When running the Crestron program there is a heartbeat being sent a bunch of times a second and if the iTouch misses one of these because of some interference the program tries to reconnect which takes 3 to 4 seconds which was happening at about once every minute. Annoying and unuseable!! 2. There is no timeout on the itouch WIfI but the Crestron program crashes Apple's WIFI and shuts WIFI down, making the user press home and then wait for reconnect and reopen the Crestron program. 3. These are the same problems that I have with the free version and I will not recommend the use of these programs to my clients anymore since every time I have has ended in disappointment. Crestron doesn't seem to want to acknowledge that their app crashes the WIFI on the iPOD/iPhone causing the user to have to press the home button wait for WIFI reconnection then load the App again. I have used many different setting and I am using the recommended WAP from D-link. I can't be the only one with this problem. I have used wireshark to trace the network packets and noticed bad packets being sent from 4 different installations but that doesn't cause the crash. I have contacted Crestron multiple times and they say they never heard of this problem. Usually Crestron has great support but it seems that this app is just a side project and not important. Well it is important to the client that is trying to run a custom programmed show in front of hundreds of people. This product is too risky to use anywhere other then someones home when they don't care if it could crash at any given time.
Mucho Bad App!

When I found out that I needed programmers to come over, I freaked because I didn't want to pay to have my iPhone hooked up to my control processer.
Works great, beware the upgrage!

Love having Crestron Control on my iPod Touch! Been using this for about a year now, and will never look back. HOWEVER, be careful when updating to version 2. All my systems were deleted and had to be set up again. Found out the hardway, when I pulled out my touch and BAM, no control! So basicly, works great just be careful when upgrading.
HORRIBLE APP

THis app was a pice of junk it asks for an IP address??? A host name???? And Port A B and it requires a passcode???? WHAT THE HECK ARE THESE THINGS??? Dont buy it its a waist of time.
Less than lackluster

This App falls short on nearly every level. It connects to a processor and relays button presses, and that's about it. The interface is horrible. It is not elegant, the graphics are substandard, and it doesn't even implement standard iPhone UI elements or navigation. It is a generic experience altogether especially considering you are controlling thousands of dollars worth of high end equipment. At best it replicates what a Crestron touch panel does, only not as well. This app could be so much more.
Great App, bad update

This is a great way to interface with my home theater gear. I have the ability to make a remote that can do any sequence of things I want it to with all my components. The programming takes time, but your own custom design is well worth the effort. This app has been flawless until the most recent update. Now when the project loads there is nothing but a black screen. I recently did a restore on my 2g touch and synced an older version of this app. Everything loaded and functioned correctly. As soon as I updated back to the current version I am stuck with a black screen again.
Excellent!

Combined with a well programmed Crestron system this application is powerful, fast, and extremely handy. Thanks to the team at Crestron for working so hard to bring this to us!
