The App is a good solution for when you want an extra display to make adjustments more quickly. The R12 Control App allows accessibility for the visually impaired, utilizing VoiceOver and VoiceOver Gestures. What you need to be aware of is that not all R12 functions are available on the Control App.
The R12 Control App requires the unit to be updated to Firmware Version 2.00 (download here) to work. For iPads with a Lightning connector, an Apple Lightning – USB 3 Camera Adapter is required.
