In their own words
Go Button
Go Button is an iOS app for creating and running sound cue playlists for live performances on iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. It can play several sounds at once, advance through a cue list with the GO button, or trigger ad-lib effects from Hit buttons. Cues may auto-stop, fade, loop, or duck, with separate volume, pan, speed, and pitch controls. Playback accepts iOS-compatible remotes, Bluetooth keyboards and accessories, MIDI input, OSC commands, and hotkeys. Shows can move through AirDrop or the iOS Files app, arrive from iCloud Drive or Dropbox, and be imported into QLab. Supported audio includes WAV, AIFF, AIFC, M4A, AAC, MP3, MOV, CAF, 3GP, MPEG4 audio, and FLAC; copy-protected files are excluded. It requires iOS 15 or later. The free version costs nothing for one saved playlist; the $99.99, paid once Pro License allows unlimited playlists.
