The first production-ready release of Expert Controller Plus is planned for the start of August 2026. It should become available for download from the Apple App store on 3rd August or very soon after. Maybe even a few days earlier if I can manage it.
If you are considering purchase of Expert Controller I suggest waiting a week and buying Expert Controller Plus.
Expert Controller Plus is a, from the ground up, rewrite of Expert Controller; many new capabilities have been added some of which are:
- Multiple, simultaneous SPE amplifier support
- Expert 1K-FA support
- SPE CO1-2 support (Power combiner)
- Resizable windows
- Multiple amplifier views including LCD only, Buttons only, Gauges, LCD only
- Modbus TCP support for TCP/IP relay management.
Expert Controller Plus will be priced just the same as the existing Expert Controller. However, it will be free to download from the Apple App store and trial for a 30 day period after which purchase will be necessary to continue using the App. I’ve chosen this approach as it provides a risk-free method of trialling the App before purchase.
When Expert Controller Plus is in the Apple App store I’m going to remove Expert Controller from the App store. I’ll continue to support Expert Controller for those who have purchased it, but all new capabilities and features will be added to Expert Controller Plus.
So, keep an eye on this News section as I’ll be writing another post once it becomes available.
All the best,
Andy
