Product is still incomplete (Feb 29 2024)
As of 2024. As a result, I can no longer recommend this switcher. Check out some of the developer’s NDI tools — many of which are excellent.

All the features of large, broadcast switchers!
I really loved using this app. And eventually, I did purchase most of the pay features. However, my iPhone was acting up and I had to delete a lot of apps for memory. Top Director was one of the apps I had to delete. Now that I have redownloaded this app, I don’t see any way I can recover the features try at I ALREADY PAID FOR! Although this app is amazing, I will not spend any more money on it, since I already paid for most of them. I think there were only maybe 2-3 features that I did NOT purchase. Any help? Any fix? I would love to be able to use this app again. Thanks!
Nice app but Update the App
This app has nice features, however when syncing my IPad Pro 4th GEN 12.9 inch, with my IPhone 12 Pro Max, on a fast Wi-Fi router, the ipad sync up with the iphone, then it freezes. I tried another Wi-Fi router , and had the Wi-Fi router right next to the ipad and the iphone, for a good signal strength, but get same results, it freezes. I also have Fiber Optic high speed internet Service at my Residence, and it’s very fast, so it cannot be a Network issue, nor anything wrong with my IPad Pro 4th Gen, or my IPhone 12 Pro Max. 512 GiG. I have an app that Apple used to have for 5 Bucks, it was called Reco Studio, I just tried it with my IPad Pro 4th Gen, and my IPhone 12 Pro Max, on the same Wi-Fi router, and it works excellent, and doesn’t freeze! There is something wrong with the Top Director App. I did reach out to the Technical Support, was told that the problem appears to be my slow router or iPad and iPhone. I don’t think so. Please update the app so it doesn’t freeze, also, update the app so the iPhone doesn’t have to start recording in order to sync it to the iPad.
Lousy Customer Support and can’t sync IPhone with iPad
I purchased the app, and the camera app, which totals about 25 Bucks. The instructions to sync your iPad with your iPhone wirelessly on the same Network is pretty vague. It doesn’t work, so I reached out for Customer Support twice, and no response. Don’t waste your money on this app, because you will have to purchase more and more apps to nickel and dime you. Thank goodness that I still have Reco Studio, even though Apple got rid of the app, and it works flawlessly.
horrible terrible...and that's the nice take
Want an app that crashes at the worst time, here is your app. Want an app that loses your social media setting, by all means, get this app. Want an app with lots of promise, and gets you just about the finish line without getting you to end of the race, well just waste your money right here. Is there something less than one star, maybe an imploding super nova, that is what I'd like to give this waste of time.
Needs rtmp *input*
Looking for something just like this to connect two GoPros and switch between them. Unfortunately, it appears rtmp support is limited to streaming OUT to rtmp. GoPros stream out to rtmp. So I need TopDirector to support rtmp IN.
Seems too good to be true, upgrades/unlocks add up
This is some powerful software, but the price for unlocks adds up. Haven’t been able to test all of the apparent functionality. There is a lot.
Game Changer!
Take the time to get to know this app, it will pay you back and then some. The developer keeps improving and adding features. No ridiculous rent to pay to use the app and it's additional features, pay once and that's it. As a retired television production professional this feels like a Grass Valley on your iPad or iPhone.
SRT DOES NOT WORK
Works ok with NDI but SRT DOES NOT WORK. That was the only thing that made me look at this app but you cant setup the SRT properly and so your stuck.
SRT Output livestream not supported!
SRT is only available as ingest, but doesn’t offer SRT output, only RTMP.
