The VI-Control app - Does anyone actually use it?

It was $30/month, which I suppose I could have kept paying, but ultimately, the deciding factor was time. There wasn't a lot of maintenance, but it wasn't zero, either, so this was yet another website and platform where I needed to learn the basics. Ugh.
Even in my own case, I did have it on my iPhone and used it a few times, but I found that unless I was specifically wanting to see what the app could do, I used Safari instead. From responses here, apparently I wasn't alone, so in light of my new mantra - "Make life easier for Mike," I dropped it.

Awww ... I actually liked it. It was strangely more convenient for me.
Probably best though because I think I’ve doubled my yearly spend because of this forum. Anything to slow down quick access to the forum is prob better.

I liked it, too bad it was dropped. Hope it will come back some day. I used it all the time and apparently others did as well. Maybe a poll/email or something to investigate how many there actually were. Even if a minority we might’ve been a bunch. Easier I have it in it’s own app. The app itself wasn’t great and probably slower than browser but I still liked it and some more work into it and maybe even more people would use it.

I do understand that some people liked it and I'm sorry I had to drop it. The "some more work" part is the problem, though. It adds up, and I can't do it, especially for such a marginal benefit. Even as it is, there's at least one technical issue per week with the forum itself that I have to be involved in, and adding issues with the app to that, plus the learning curve, is more than I can do.
However ... if someone wants to take it on, and HAS THE ABILITY to take it on without me needing to ever be involved, I'll pay AppyPie to put it back.

Yea right? I was a refugee for various reasons all year. At least I had my V.I.C. App that I never used.

I had it on Android and it very slow and buggy. Maybe on other devices it might have been better, but for me it didn't work well.

I use it occasionally. It's great to keep up when I'm away from my computer, but I generally use VI from my computer. I wind up listening to a lot of product demos and it makes more sense to hear them in my studio.
