An iPhone version of the app is also in the works and should be released soon! How many would use the app for iPhone when it is available?

Fantastic app! :)
I bought it earlier today and had a quick test with it and it works really well.
Is there anything I can do to minimise the delay when switching between the audio and the video page? Some times it will take several seconds to switch (iPad Air)
Do you have any plans to add features like being able to change text in titles and changing settings for the fullscreen outputs?
Thanks! :)
Edit: depending on if you're making the iPhone version available as a universal app (ie. no need to buy it again), then I'll probably end up trying it and possibly using it if the buttons aren't too small.

Glad you like the app! It should switch nearly immediately. How long does it take on your iPad? We do have plans on additional features including a potential live multiview video feed to the app that can be used as a touchscreen switcher (via NDI) as well as 24 inputs and integrating title editing and adding in vMix social. All plans for right now but we will keep you updated as we progress:)

I think it was a temporary problem, haven't been able to replicate the problem since. Sounds great :)

It's not easy to port the app to the Android platform. The iOS platform is more user friendly with Swift. However with Apple making Swift open source, there may be a solution soon to porting the app over to Android more easily. Definitely planning on the app in the future!

I have a problem, pressing the program button, the mixing is done but does not start the video. Only the first frame appears.
What can be the cause?

How about including the program monitor as NDI receiver in the video mixer screen?
That would make the Control Surface as a wireless vMix terminal without a need to sit in front of the screen.

What can be the cause? Using the program button will only make the clip active in the "Live" window but will not play the clip. If you want to play the clip you would need to click the preview button and use one of four transition buttons or the "Take", "Auto" buttons or the T-Bar. We may add the feature to automatically play the clip in the future so stay tuned.

We are waiting for some development progressions in the Microsoft Bridge program within Visual Studio that will allow us to easily port Swift to Visual Studio for a smooth transition. The Apple WWDC conference is also coming up where they may release Swift 3.0 which may also include some advancements in the porting process to both Windows and Android. I know its been a long process but we want to make sure that the port is a high quality port and has a smooth workflow between the iOS versions and the Windows/Android versions. Thank you for your patience in the process. We want to get a Windows/Android version in your hands ASAP.

This is the plan for the future version of the app. Currently the NDI libraries do not have an ARM processor (mobile) version for iOS devices yet. This is in the works through NewTek and we will look implement this touchscreen video mixer to the app as soon as that library is made available.

Now.. to go start beating on Microsoft's door for good porting tools, and Apple's for Swift 3.0 porting abilities. :)

Now.. to go start beating on Microsoft's door for good porting tools, and Apple's for Swift 3.0 porting abilities. :) That's exactly what we are doing:) Our desire is to have it written a single time and then ported to different platforms each time rather than creating the app from the group up for each platform and then adding the features to each version every time there is an update. The Microsoft Bridge tool is getting close to working but we haven't quite gotten it to work. We have converted it to Visual Studio with the tool but are running into errors when building it. It's getting there!
