TouchViZ App Reviews

TouchViz. Disappointing app. Can't do much with it. There is no support to help understand how to save or create other effects. Over priced. Shouldn't be more than$1.99. Would not suggest others purchase it.

Great app but missing some key features. Devs, PLEASE consider adding the following. This is a fun app at the moment but could become a huge musical performance tool if it had some ability to sync effects with music. Or, please tell me if I’m just unable to find these features. Manual field entry (especially for strobing and the like) Inverse strobe/Strobe color choices (really needs black! Strobing the image would be key) Ableton Link compatibility, or something similar Sync effect speeds to a BPM value MIDI clock sync

Could be great but needs some TLC. I guess the app is supposed to be able to load video from the camera roll but the support for this is either outdated to the point where it no longer works or it is just broken. If you’re considering this app and your device is updated to the current version of iOS, you probably want to make sure the developer has released an update since Dec 2021.

I need help :( can’t load new media. Hi! Whenever I’m trying to load new visuals from library or camera roll, the app freezes and won’t do anything else. I was excited to use this app on my vj sets. Please HELP.

Great for Community Theater. We use this all the time for projecting a looping background projections of imported videos for our community theater productions. It’s easy to use and works flawlessly. My one enhancement request would be for it to pass through the audio from the imported videos

Great when it worked. Version 1.5.1 and iOS 15.2 aren’t getting along. I can’t load videos at all. Permissions are working, I even reinstalled the app. Please fix.

Pictures. Is there a way of adding pictures to a mix?

overall pretty awesome. would really like the ability to control the in and out points and scrub the "position" of the clip. even so, highly recommended.

unbelievable app!. completely outstanding and capable app! extremely fun, with unbelievable pro possibilities! you can't go wrong with touchviz!

Crashes. Looks promising but the App freezes when trying to access the Camera Roll. Will revisit the review if they fix this bug and I can actually load videos.

Great App but lacks Audio Output. This app offers tons of potential that many Mac/pc VJ software bring (such as Arkaos, Resolume, etc). One feature that is essential and hope you guys add on the next Update is to add Audio output on videos, Please.

Good Stuff. Update is great. Love the new effects. Still cannot load from my videos. Only loads from Recently Added. That doesn't help for the 300 loops I have saved before the upgrade. Hope you can resolve that. Also, a video scrubber would be awesome. Would love to scratch some loops.

brilliant app. i used this for live visuals. it has a lot of depth. wish they would update. a record feature and video scrubbing would make this app unbeatable.

Amazing, Easy to Learn. Finding this app changed everything for me. I recommend it whenever I can.

Disappointed.. This app doesn’t work- crashes every time it tries to open the camera roll. Have gotten in touch with the developers...sporadically...but have since lost touch. I have not been able to use this app AT ALL. I want a refund.

Close but no cigar. I've been waiting for an app to replace modul8 and was very stoked to see this. I will improve my rating once it has bpm/tempo sync n a few other fx that aren't so average/basic.

Turns your iPad into a video sampler!. I cannot speak enough for how useful this app is. It has secured life for my ipad2 and is indispensable in my video performance setup. Works great with AV out. I would love to have a way to sequence clips by tap tempo o clips just finishing and going to the next, but as it is this is the most useful and feature packed VJ app for iOS!

App keeps crashing :(. This is an amazing app, I used it frequently on live events but it kept crashing when using it constantly and had to stop using it. Please fix it 'cause this app is gold.

Essential. This app is essential to the working VJ. So many great ideas in iPad world die an ignored lonely death but not a TouchViZ. Whilst providing an educational bridge between Touch surfaces and OSC protocols for audio performance and design TouchOSC was/is a revolutionary affordable solution for thousands of colleagues and students I’ve had over the years. Bravo to Hexler, TouchViZ and the developers and designers working on the essential tool.

Here's the deal. I really liked this app but now when I try to load videos from my library it crashes on my iPad Pro. Does not happen on my iPad Air 2. Have written to the developer but no response yet which is strange because most of these people get back to me in a day....except the dude with Crudebytes that ignores my email. Will update this review when it gets worked out. In any case, Takete blows this away. 091916 Updated this morning, still crashing on iPad Pro. Gonna cost another ★

Great for a quick setup. After playing with it for a couple of days, I highly recommend the app. On the iPad3 I have imported larger than recommended files and with smooth playback. I however would love to see a higher output resolution in a future update to support my file sizes 1080p?

Lots of fun, but.... The load menu doesn't look to support nested folders, much less search. If I can access up to 125 clips at any given time in real-time, I'd really like to be able to find that many in less than an hour. As it stands now, I'd need to scroll through literally hundreds, if not thousands, of files, relying on my own very careful file naming to spot what I'm looking for. Please let me nest folders and/or search. I want to use the app's potential and not spend forever looking for clips. This isn't "current," much less "professional." Tagged searching? The midi implementation is also opaque. I couldn't even get the midi input to recognize apematrix, much less read midi CC's from it. Midi learn? Please? For how long this app's been around, either I'm missing something or it's really been unloved.

Fix crashing. If crashing could be fixed and text could be added this app would be a godsend

DO NOT BUY COLORCODE VJ! BUY THIS APP!. Amazing!

Could use some modernization. Otherwise decent.. This is one of the few apps that I have that doesn’t allow me to map a controller via a learn feature. Scenes, tempo sync, midi clock etc would be a huge improvement for live performances.

pretty good start.... pretty good start..I haven't tried the midi yet but video out works nicely. any chance we could get the ability to record from the camera, or master mix....even if just for a few seconds? record from the camera might be the easiest way to "import"... for now I am enjoying mixing in video feedback (slightly) via pointing the camera at my projector projecting the video out :)

Update: It has 1080p!. I have messed around with a lot of live video performance effects apps. This one is by far the best one to work with in regards to features and integration with music apps like audiobus. But even more important, thanks to the developer for responding to my original review. Originally I gave a poor star rating because there seemed to be no 1080p. The developer alerted me to the fact that 1080p can be added in custom settings but no higher. A future update expands this. Yes! So, if you are trying to record a 1080p you have to add it in custom settings as stated in the developers response. It works, full 1080p. Total clarity! Awesome! So if you are a VJ looking for a quality VJ application for iPad Pro, this is it! BTW, I recommend buying this app in the pack that includes OCS Touch. You’re going to want that with this app. 5 stars!

Great app! Having an issue importing movies though. Can't seem to import any new media.... The app has an add a clip to a slot function, but I see no media available in the library tab or camera tab.... Only thing available is the documents, which just has the preloaded demo files....a little help? I have a few videos in the camera roll and some itunes music videos, but nothing shows up..... Running on an iPad2 with iOS 5.1.1

New version works great. I loved version 1.2.4. I had some problems getting the new version sorted, (the media access was denied automatically by something buried in 'settings') but support did eventually get back to me and it works great now. Keep up the good work guys :)

Best VJ App so far for iPad. Best VJ App so far for iPad. All of these Apps lag on HD material, 720 or 1080. Choose 640x360 for 16:9 aspect, smooth, lag free mixing. This App actually HAS FX on each of the two A & B channels, AND the Master!!! Yes, 3x FX. 17 types of FX in all: blur, invert, mirror, dots, kaleidoscope, color, radial blur, posterize, pixelate, wave light tunnel, adjustments, sharpen, edge, television, swirl, & shuffle. Although it does not have layer mixing modes, with 50% opacity on center, there is a Mix, Level, & Color adjustment on the Master out, in addition to the FX adjustments makes up for it. The ONLY complaint I have, besides the lack of layer mixing modes is that there is no back and fourth (forward & reverse) playback of clips. Which can be solved by mixing down your animations / video clips with and external video editor with the fwd & rev loop in the clip for seamless playback.

Needs scrubbing. Really cool! I'm gonna try it out at a gig later tonight. The only thing it lacks is a way to scrub through the video position... Once that's added it will definitely get 5 stars!

I paid $10 for an app that won’t load my own photo roll. It freezes every time I press the camera roll button. Don’t even know how to get a refund.

Only had it for 3 days and already using it live!. After researching all the vj apps for the iPad, I purchased Touchviz and I am so glad I did! So intuitive that I was able to start performing with it only a few days after buying it. It was so easy to load video clips from my computer to it. The effects are great (specifically mirror and invert). I love the XY touch control of the effects. I love that you can add effects to the master. Gotta agree with Buddha about wishing I could control the way clips loop (a ping pong option would be great). I also agree that some different layering options would be great (chroma key?). These aren't complaints, just ideas! I can not wait to see what happens with this app. LOVE IT!

Unable to load my own media.. This doesn’t seem that useful when I can only use the stock content and am unable to load anything from my photo library or from files app.

Could be better. Maybe I don’t know how to use this or do not have a competent understanding of the product but I used link to midi to connect this app to iOS KORG gadget and I don’t feel like the effects are synced to the music, I hope the developers can take inspiration from Kaoss entrancer produced back in 2006 I believe, the effects are great the interface is great but Im not sure how I feel about the timing for this reason im not totally impressed but I like the direction this app is going

Outstanding software. I've used TouchViZ regularly for a while now and can attest to the fact that it is one of the best pieces of software I've ever used on my iPad. Not only does it deliver every feature promised, but it's a very stable and reliable app that regularly exceeds my expectations. It has become an invaluable and critical part of my video synth set up. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this app. Worth every penny and then some.

deep options: minimal interface; useable FX *&^^ S T A B L E +resampling(!!). in the workflow for making nice colors and textures from the everyday to playback with sounds, this app, coupled with Djaypro by algoriddim (for loops and reverse, etc) StopMotionStudio, facegoo and screen recorder, Youdoodle (for drawing, collage process and text) ...you can make pretty much whatever you want to see. oh and you can use live camera input. i do stuff with apps that makes them crash pretty often and this one has been stable for a few years. It's as it should be. next step for me is learning how to trigger vids by playing music, congruent with keyboard midi channels or CC messages or maybe thru apematrix and rozetta suite sequencers?.. /// also the photos they show here make it seem kind of glitch oriented, which it can be if you want it to be, but it's not the only direction you can move in w this app and the others i mentioned^^ more than worth the price Thank You DEV's <333

A powerful VJ machine!. This really is an amazing video controller that really gives you a lot of scope to create professional presentations. Whether it's for work or pleasure, this machine is easy to use and produces incredible results. You can import videos or record them directly from your iPad. The cross fader allows you to easily change between two separate videos, and you can choose from a large selection of filters and images for each separate video. This app really makes me want to create more and more great videos, just to be able to take them to a whole new level. This is a very creative outlet many uses and it's a lot of fun.

help. app freeze everytime i try to upload photos from camera roll

Best VJ app on iPad. This is easily the best VJ app for the iPad. Effects on both channels and the master allows for some very cool results. Developer also responded very quickly to my suggestion with a very friendly and positive email. He has also added retina support since I have purchased....... Perfect role model for other devs on how to keep the app relevant to those who paid good money, and great customer service. Buy it!!! :)

Suggestion. This is a highly powerful app and a great tool for professional performance. It will be of great benefit to add video scrolling and loop selection features to it.

Simple and intuitive.. I use this with a portable pico projector for visuals on the go and its fast and easy to use. Well worth the money.

Midi problems. This app is not stable with Midi messages by a midi controller. It kept freezing or shutting down.

App is great but crashes constantly. I love this app but I just want it to work. Kind of a useless purchase if I can't rely on it.
