I’m sure this option would spur a lot more app purchases since a typical theater may have only one or two show designers while using different stage managers and production team members for each show. It would also be nice if this could be provided at a lower price point than the Show Control and Editing option given the reduced functionality. It would be extremely useful for me to give a stage manager the ability to fire, stop, and restart cues during rehearsals without the risk of someone inadvertently changing the show design. My big wish list item for the iOS app is a separate in-app purchase for an “operator-only” version that can be used to fire cues but not to make edits. The mobile version lets me edit and fire cues while sitting out in the audience area, which is a big benefit to me given that our tech booth is awkwardly positioned outside the sound pattern of the main speakers. As an added bonus, the MIDI and network cues allow us to control all of the mics and lighting, precisely synchronized with the music. QLab provides so much flexibility with its cues that I am able to fit the music to the performers rather than the other way around. Due to space limitations, for most performances our theater uses pre-recorded tracks rather than live musicians. In a world of increasingly buggy and poorly designed software, the QLab developers continue to succeed in delivering a quality product that is truly useful and versatile.

I cant compare Qlab since Ive never had to use an Apple, but a couple of the main contenders will be SFX (expensive) and Sound Cue System (quite inexpensive and great value).
