I use V-Control (Pro) and it is very good, but MOTU really needs to get its act together on this, I agree.

DPControl is still working for me, so I am nonplussed? Are you seeing total failure (won't launch, crashes, etc), features thatdontwork or what?

DP control has been flakey for me (latest IOS), and it is very limited, and does not take advantage of the iPad's screen (just a stretched iPhone GUI).

It hasn't been updated in a couple of years now, there are other threads herein complaining about this - an update is overdue.

They should open source it so the community could work on it. I'd put in some time on it to keep it working.

Hey MOTU! We have a volunteer here! Don't pass up the opportunity to put DP back on the cutting edge!

I guess I'm lucky I stayed back on iOS 6 for the sake of my old iPhone4 and iPad and iPad2! BTW, my devices are jailbroken and there's a utility called RetinaPad that enables the high-res Retina graphics to be used when running an iPhone app (like DP Control) at 2x size on an iPad, so you get pretty smooth large graphics.

Yep, I know this doesn't help many people, but I guess I'm glad I stayed behind as it's working well for me.

Stayed on 6 for the iPad just to be able to use DP Control. iPhone is 7.

An update would be nice.

(Even Quicken 2007 for Mac is gonna be updated very soon to Quicken 2015. Only 8 years late!)

Thanks for that Quicken flash, Buzzy. Great news. Now if Quickeys gets some attention and the Adobe stuff remain functional in Yosemite the future of Mac computing for me looks brighter. BTW, I tried the DP app in iOS 7 on my iPhone 5s and it was working at least for transport. Haven't gotten much deeper that using it as a transport remote control so other features may not be working. I just don't know.

For me, DP Control works fine on iPhone 5/iOS 7.1.2. I haven't tried everything, but transport, track muting/unmuting, mixer faders, track arming all work. Note, I'm on DP 7.24.
