As August and the first release of Expert Controller Plus draws nearer its time to update everyone on what’s happening and its release plan.

Expert Controller Plus V1.0 is currently with Apple and in their App store review process. The timetable is still to make it available for sale in August. When that happens I’m going to pull the existing Expert Controller App from new App store sales so that new purchases are of Expert Controller Plus. This removes any chance of purchasing the older App by mistake.

Expert Controller Plus will be priced just the same as the existing Expert Controller. However, it will be free to download from the 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.

I’ll continue to support Expert Controller for some time but Expert Controller Plus is the future and will be the App into which new features, changes etc will be implemented.

Until the time Expert Controller Plus is available in the App store, the most recent Beta test version will remain available for download here. The Beta test version is free to download and has a lifetime of 60 days. There is no option to purchase this version.

So, if you are considering purchase of Expert Controller at this time, I suggest you either try the free, 60 day, Beta test version or wait for V1.0 to become available in the Apple App store during August 2026.

Once Expert Controller Plus is available in the App store I’ll post a news announcement.

The key differences between Expert Controller and Expert Controller Plus are detailed here.
