Crestron App is a touch screen device, supported in Touch Screen Designer, which provides a Crestron touch screen user interface on Apple® iPhone® and iPad® touch devices and various Android™ devices.

By adding the Crestron App device to a system project, you can create a touch screen design and compile it to use with an app which is available for download from the Crestron's Website (http://www.crestron.com/) and the Apple App Store. It supports the 3-series control systems and is fully integrated with Crestron Studio® and VT Pro-e® programming software. There are two versions of the Crestron App: a free (limited) version and a fully functional paid (Pro) version. Users who already have the free version of the app can initiate an in-app purchase to convert to the paid version.

Note: Projects created for the free version of the Crestron App do not support streaming video (Embedded Video Application) and are limited to projects consisting of not more than 2 Pages and 1 Subpage.
