After a lot of trial and error I finally got it working, it could do with a set of simplified instructions.

Reviews
I was sceptic at first whether or not this app would work for me, so I tried the demo version first and it did the job- for one day. I figured since it was the demo that the paid version would give me full access and boy was I mistaken. I purchased the paid version and followed the exact same steps as before, but there seemed to be an issue with connection and now I'm unable to use the app. I now use Google Remove Desktop. It's free and gives you full access to your DAW by mimicing your desktop.
Great app! Does what it should as expected! Started out with testing the demo, and was pleased to purchase the full version
Did not work at all
Great tool. Took 15mins to set up but connects every time, and allows me to control Ableton remotely from the sound desk. Looking forward to exploring all the features!
Excellent. Worth the price just for the x/y controllers. Using mine on a tablet with cubase generic remote at the other end. Recommended for use on the tablet, performs well, looks great. Seriously thinking of buying another tablet so that I can run two at once.
This was utterly useless for my purposes. All I want to do is send program changes to my Deepmind-12 Synth over RTP. Every example I see involves Windows or MAC. I just want to connect to my synth. Probably useful for other things. Just not my purposes.
