Great Application & EASY to Use!
I do not understand why some Reviews say that this is a crappy Application. I think it works great! Sure, it is OLD; but, it still LOOKS GOOD, is REALLY EASY TO USE and just WORKS. I agree that it does need to be updated to work BETTER with El Capitan; but, IT DOES WORK WITH EL CAPITAN, AS IS because I am running Mac OS El Capitan Public Beta version 10.11.2 and IT RUNS GREAT! Sometimes, it just CRASHES ON START-UP; but, if you simply Click on it again, it runs fine. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 Clicks, but it does RUN. I am sure they will fix this problem in the next update. As far as HOW IT LOOKS, I think it looks fine, with the Square Icons & Slider Volume Control. Sure, it could be more modern looking but that is the purpose of the NEW SAVANT APPLICATION where you can import Room Photos, etc. The other great thing about this App. is that it looks exactly as it does on the Savant Remotes, which also makes it EASY TO USE because you already know where everything is & how to get to Control what you need to Control. I only really have 2 issues with it:
1. STOP SAYING THE SAME THING FOR EVERY UPDATE, I Quote, “This Release addresses specific customer-requested enhancements and stability improvements.” THAT IS SO LAME & such a poor-man’s way of describing ANY UPDATE FOR ANY SOFTWARE. How about Manning-up & ACTUALLY TELLING US WHAT THE SPECIFIC FIXES AND CHANGES ARE, so that we can easily determine whether, or not, the update addresses & fixes our issues? It is called HONESTY & GOOD CUSTOMER SUPPORT when you properly, & clearly, inform your Customers about Software Changes.
2. Why are the Versions always different from each other? Right now, on the Mac, the latest Version is 7.2.0 but the latest Version on the Remotes (iPhone, iPad & Hard Button SSR-1000 iPods) is 7.2.3? At least EXPLAIN WHY the Versions are different on the Newest Update & when the Other Update can be expected.
So, in summary, I think this is a GREAT APPLICATION! If you don’t like it, then I suggest you try the New One, with the S, which is totally different but DOES NOT RUN ON THE MAC & ONLY RUNS ON iOS 8.0 & above. So, IT DOES NOT RUN ON THE HARD-BUTTON REMOTES & Older iPads because they can only run iOS 6.1.6 & NOT HIGHER.
What do you think?
