| 2024-11-27 |  | | I love this app. I use it at my church for almost everything. Running scripts to upload multitracks, OBS video switching, I'm even using it to automate switching the stream feed to a 'Scripture View' when text is being displayed on OpenLP by scanning the LiveView page. This app is 100% worth it. |
| 2024-04-24 |  | | Was great, stopped using it awhile updated and checked settings nothing works, just get connection error over and over every 3 seconds. Desktop notification says I'm using an outdated mobile version and my phone straight from Android store says app is up to date.. with the error every 3 seconds while trying to fix it and it saying it's out of date when it's not I'm just over it I was my hands of this app and remove it from everything. Thanks but no thanks was awesome when it worked. |
| 2023-12-11 |  | | the free version is PERFECT if you need a quick. macro pad for obs. 2, 2x4 pages is perfect. but when you NEED that extra page, DEFINITELY worth the purchase. have actually. bought it on both apple and Android. about to look into the multi device purchase as well. also easy to use. better alternative if you cannot get the $140 stream deck. |
| 2023-02-14 |  | | The licensing issues are just too much for me. Please, find an alternative ways of checking license, or don't bother selling your product. Its annoying when at the most inconvenient moment I need to clear cache reboot the app on my cell phone and computer, to get what I paid for. The issue is repeating itself so often that it makes me cry. This time I needed to reinstall the app to make the app recognizing my purchases - and I bought everything that the app offers. Do something!!! |
| 2023-01-02 |  | | The app is the best alternative for a stream deck, and because of its portability on your phone I bought a very cheap armstrap so I can control my stream in VR seamlessly! My only gripe is the monetization; pro mode is perfect way to monetize it, but then there's a bunch of random other 'upgrades' you can get that give off android-freeware vibes and just take the app's value down. They're very menial upgrades but you'll run into them nonetheless. There really should only be the pro purchase. |
| 2022-07-14 |  | | Update went bad. Ever since I updated this, it went bad, buttons now refuse to show up in phone even on a direct usb connection. Update on review, it does not tell u to go to the site on the PC and update manually after updating on your phone. It' not auto like it should be. It's working again. |
| 2022-04-15 |  | | I've used this app for a while, and not only does it do what it says it will, and not only is it flexible, its Pro upgrade saves you A LOT of money compared to more premium/expensive alternatives! Unless those are gifted to you (and even then), it feels hard to beat the value of Touch Portal! |
| 2022-04-12 |  | | This app does everything those expensive stream decks can do and more- as long as you don't mind using a phone in place of physical buttons.. Soooo--- worth the price for everything it can do, had I but known- I would have purchased this app a long time ago. It's made streaming so much more user friendly & interactive, gaming live is so much easier and more fun now. Totally worth the investment. My only criticism- It was a long questioned filled process pairing it with obs- that needs work |
| 2022-04-12 |  | | At first use, I was a little frustrated. After a bit, I got more comfortable and realized it's really easy to set up and can quickly get really complex (powerful), but I'm still a little frustrated. 1. I have to use a wired connection when using this with my work computer. There's no way around it since my personal phone isn't allowed on the secure office WiFi. After a little fiddling, it works pretty well, but on EVERY start of the app it starts the setup wizard, which I have to cancel out of followed by a pop-up error message about the WiFi, despite the fact I've selected USB as the connection type previously. 2. Occasionally I've found that the Windows application needs to be restarted if the phone loses it's connection (or at least something happens???). It will reconnect, but no matter what I do, the buttons won't show any longer on the phone. I found the restart command in the right click of the tray icon, and that fixed it each time. Fix at least issue number one and you'll have a buy and a better rating from me. I like my regular macropad I built, but it's not convenient to take back and forth to work and home. This lets me use macros wherever I am and lets me do some quick mods to the keys without having to code anything. |
| 2022-04-07 |  | | I use this daily for live streaming, and video recording with OBS. I do highly recommend Touch Portal. I love the app, but it does have a few things that could be made better. Please keep in mind I'm a power user, and come from a programming background when you read the following. 1. The app and PC desktop program need to both sometimes are difficult to get pro status to sync. My work around is to open the PC program, close it, open it again, and then open the app on your device. Once the PC program says connected it takes about 10 to 20 seconds and it seems to flash. At that point pro is working for me. 2.Some of the things you can do with the built in scripting features are a bit limited. I would like to see more complex if statements in the program. I would also like to see more complex file operations available. If you don't come from a programming background you would never miss these things though. 3. The Global Events do not always work properly. I have 2 buttons that dynamically change based on the active scene when they are pressed. What I want is the button to change visuals when I click on another button and change the scene. This should be possible with the global events, but it only works about 10% of the time right now. |
