I was *this* close to the joeco player but then all the Aussie supplier had was a demo unit with an intermittent play button. The phone call I received telling me was funny.. "hey, I've got a unit here with a faulty play button, did you need it for play back or recording" ummm play back would be nice seeing as I'm paying for the blackbox PLAYER. Anyway...
So I just downloaded this app to my iPhone on a whim just to try it.. Best 5 bucks I've spent in a long time. I like this better than the joeco although I will miss the idea of stereo tracks and being able to separate the click and the cues to individual tracks for iem. It's more flexible and like you said, fall down simple. Easy as pie to change and create set lists.
Tomorrow night I'll get the iPad version and within ten minutes have a set ready. Better than the relatively complex way of creating setlists on the joeco that involves a computer to make any set changes.
So, thank you sir! You just saved me over $3k!
if you're going this route, you might also want to look at soundboard (

i'm still looking for the app that'll playback multi tracks and still have all the ease of use and flexibility of an Instant Replay. so if anyone has that one, let me know...
