Go Button App Reviews

An update to my previous review: I now use GoButton on an iPad to control all of my sound cues on both my traveling gigs and my weekly stage show. And for someone like me who has backups to his backups, It is a dream to have a backup in my pocket (on my iPhone) should there be any problem with my regular show iPad. The show uses some 30 cues, some played simultaneously, with variable play lengths and fade-outs, and GoButton does the job. I recommend GoButton to every performer I talk to without reservation.

I was depending on this app to run a show. It crashed mid show and started running cue after cue and I couldnt get it to stop. Or it just wouldnt play any sound at all. i was forced to STOP THE SHOW!! I am ashamed I paid $10 for this app as it really let me down. On top of that the editing cue feature barley works and is not responsive. This would be a great app if it did what it promised. Please fix your app cuz it really failed me. I want my money back.

This plays samples from my library while also allowing preset cue in cue end times and fade options. It is a bit buggy though. When you create a list, you cant click done. I had to close and come back, but at least my list was saved. Might have to do with starting with making the sample buttons below first. If you let one of the samples below finish, you cant play it again. It will highlight like it is playing, but it wont play. Also, sometimes adjusting the cue settings mutes the playback for preview. When cueing a song and previewing, it would help to get the current seek time of the song, so you can manually enter the times. 5 star worthy when bugs are fixed. A one tap fade out option of the bottom sound drops would be a great option.

I have used Go Button on multiple productions for several years. It is hands down the most professional, intuitive and stable (very important) program Ive found and believe me Ive tried them all. It solved an important need for my company - the ability to have the same flexibility, precision and features as professional computer-based apps (QLab, etc) delivered on a smaller manageable device - something that wouldn’t require us to tour with a laptop or desktop, Go Button solved our dilemma. Where other sound and show apps stop short Go Button shines. The app was developed by an audio engineer from the theater world and therefore packages important features that have become industry standard. If you have run or used a professional show control systems in major theater setting this program will be very intuitive for you. I currently have Go Button running eight different shows on six devices (a combination of iPads and iPod Touches). It is everything I could wish for and more. I will never use anything else.

Exactly the app i needed for my theater production. Dont understand a lot of the complaints Ive seen here, lists load and are saved, easy operation once you start figuring out what the parameters mean. Id love to see a fade up button as well as a fade down, so there still could be some work done but great job.

After having used this Excellent App for a week of shows, am really really pleased! Even had to get another Ipad to dedicate to shows...are you listening Apple? Whatever " glitches" There were are so easily worked around....the support is the best, major companies could learn something here. It as if the app was written for me! Flexible, versatile, useable.....superb. You will not go wrong with this app....yup I am a happy customer, this is the first time that have been so compelled to write a review, not once but twice...10 stars if they had them.

I have used Go Button for several high school plays and dance performances, sometimes plugging my iPhone, sometimes plugging my iPad into the theaters sound board. The app is easy to use; I usually have a student at the controls for each performance. I havent used the current version yet, but I will soon. It looks easier to use than ever! I like that my shows are saved through iCloud.

If youre doing live audio for plays presentations or any other on-the-fly audio where you need precise queuing on-the-fly fade out and stop this app is great The ability to layer things on the fly and edit in:out times is awesome.

Fabulous program. I was able to import and create some fairly complex cues for a theatrical production within an hour of downloading. Crucially, it supports wireless speakers, which is an absolute must for me.

I have used this app for multiple shows and it is amazing. It does exactly what I need, is easy to use, and each new update makes it even more detailed. Thanks!

I do shows and got this app-it is amazing and so easy to use! You can stop music when you want-edit in program and pretty much do anything And look professional for shows! Wish I had found this a lot sooner.

After a computer crash i was left with just my iPad to run music for a couple of off broadway shows. Needing a little more than what an iTunes playlist could do, GoButton was a great find and has proven valuable so far. Not a perfect 5, but hopefully future updates will cross off a few of my wish list items.

I have used several other apps but Go Button by far is THE BEST, hands down. You can set up your show with ease. Unlike others, GB allows you to order the music as YOU desire. As a professional stage hypnotist I need to go to various music pieces depending on the audience. You can scroll immediately to the music piece that you desire, play, fade out, fade in, or WHATEVER you desire. Almost ALL of the other apps require one to move in a linear fashion; i.e., select, play, quit. GB allows the performer the liberty of moving where one needs. I would have paid $100 or more for this great app. It is now my GO To Go Button app. I will never need anything else. And, no, Im not a shill, just a pro entertainer who is extremely satisfied.

Go button does everything I hoped it would and a lot more. Its very intuitive and easy to learn. You can access and preview audio files dierctly from iTunes, or email a wide range of file formats directly into the program via email. I really like this feature because I dislike using iTunes and you dont have to sync your iPad to a PC to import a sound clip. Cues are easy to add, copy or delete. Easy to program fades, auto stop or go directly to next cue. You can copy and rename an entire show and Crete a new variation on the fly. The display is easy to read and customizable. You can even add notes that display in a side panel for each cue. I was able to easily edit out portions of a music track using the waveform editing tool, right in the application. I used to have to edit my sound tracks I another program like audacity and import an edited copy. I was very impressed with this feature The program has some ability to customize use of various ijet wireless remotes, or you can use an apple Bluetooth keyboard. I am a professional magician and programmed my first show sound track in just a few minutes. During the course of a weeks rehearsals I was able to quickly and easily make changes and tweak my sound track. My first show went without a hitch. I was in complete control of all my walk on, walk off, background music and sound effects. Finally, the PDF user manual is extremely comprehensive and make learning hoe to take advantage of all the programs many features. I highly recommend this program.

I was going to buy qlab and then I found go button, which is designed by the same company. I use this for theatre and it is highly reliable and does everything I need.

I tour a one-man-show. GoButton is the easiest and most versatile cue system Ive ever used. Over the last two decades, Ive tried many, MANY sound cue systems. From dedicated hardware systems costing up to $1,500 or more, to software solutions on laptops, none were as easy to use or as flexible as GoButton. I recently did a 33-show run of a brand new program. I was able to make changes on the fly as we tweaked the show. And I absolutely LOVE that there are no proprietary parts! If something breaks I can replace it. This is what Ive been looking for.

Im so glad they added the master volume control. Now I dont have to worry about bringing another piece of gear for easy control of volume. I can just plug straight into speakers and go. Great for rehearsals!

There isnt an app that does this better. The new OSC options are sweet! I can now program lights on an ETC console, and have the console trigger Go Button to start the tracks. A super easy "one man band" setup.

I needed to run show while my laptop (with my copy of QLab) was otherwise in use. So I bought a copy of Go Button 2. It was great, not as full featured as QLab, but it got the job done and was very easy to use. I can’t wait to try out version 3.
