I've used this app for many years now and it is an amazingly awesome, simple, and useful tool for controlling atem switchers. Highly recommended. Atem TV studio HD does not have a front panel button for the upstream keyer so this app gives you the ability to assign a key in the app without having to use the mouse to click the software control panel.

Works great. Just keep in mind only 1 app device can be connected to the switcher and switching at the same time. Everytime I tried it with 2 devices one of the apps crashed. I dont believe that's the apps fault. Maybe, just the limitation of the BMD switchers. Solid app. I'm very happy with it.

When it works, it works great, better than any other app with similar functionality. Unfortunately, sometimes I can't connect to the switcher, no matter what I do. I tried power cycling the switcher, rebooting my phone, etc,... Then maybe the next day it starts working again, with the exact same setup.
