Go Button

I’m a professional theatre maker, and my work involves dealing with sound effects and music. I needed a mobile app that would be able to fulfil my needs with small and medium stage productions. I could not imagine the existence of this app and it’s FREE. All the features are working properly and it has never crashed or let me down. The only downside (which is not important to me) is I can’t save as many shows as I want, unless I get the Pro version. However, this free app gives an alternative, which is saving the shows on the phone or Mac, then whenever I need them all what I need is to delete the current show (which also already has been saved) and open the other show. It is really giving many options to the user, even editing audio tracks and making the surface of the iOS device very practical.

There seems to be no way to skip back to previous songs while using a wireless Bluetooth remote. This is Crucial for running a show. And I paid $100 for this app!! I will remove this review if I receive a refund. 🙏🙏

Just one request - any way for a “hit” to change color once it has been played? It is hard to tell what has and hasn’t been played midway through a show!

I am an A1 in live event production and GO Button is my go to app when I am responsible for the audio queue. The flexibility is amazing. Often times we will have pre-recorded VOGs running over ‘walk on’ ‘walk off music’ and GO Button has the flexibility to duck the music track while the VOG is playing and then bring the audio track back up automatically. The least amount of interaction can pre-programmed and tested helping to ensure a smooth show. Until recently, I was not using the HITS portion of the app. Now I put intermission background music on HITS and also use the FADE/STOP all audio to kill it when we are back. I was using QLab for years and still love QLAB, but having my iPad makes it very convenient, plus it frees up my laptop for other functions. I am very satisfied with GO button and recommend it to my live production colleagues.

It does what it says it does. It works all the time. I have never had any problems with it, that’s saying a lot. Try the free demo and see if yourself. Love this app.

Perfectly designed. Easy to use. Does exactly what you want and need. I use this amazing app for my international tribute show George Michael Reborn. The developer and his team are genius in my book. I tried plenty of apps, this is THE BEST.

Setup the program to run music for a local dance studio’s show after numerous mishaps with laptops / playlists / scratched CDs, etc. Very easy to setup, more features in the free version that we even need for this production. The studio is super excited to be able to run show audio without the issues of the past. I’ve considered purchasing the Pro version; but have no need for multiple saved shows at this point. My only criticism is for the price saving multiple shows seems kind of steep. Maybe worth it if that also enabled some other feature like sending of OSC commands to external devices? The only other thing I would like to see possibly in future versions is a non-music queue that can be used as a timer, ie for Intermission or something of the sort. I’ve come up with a workaround for it by creating a blank audio file and then setting a delay on it for the timer value desired.

I’m a huge fan of QLab and this iPad version is a dream come true. I use a lot of different programs for music creation but this is my top pick for backing tracks and live theatrical performances. There’s nothing better in my humble opinion.

Easy to use app. Very reliable, no glitches found so far. Works well with Audio Ape remote system. The combination of these two have made my magic shows more polished and professional.

Theatre stage managers I cannot say enough good things about this app. It is a life saver in rehearsals. You are able to put together a cue list as well as ‘hit’ buttons that play individual sound effects. Simplifies rehearsals. Tired of saying ‘ding dong’ or ‘ring’ this little app does it all.
