Our verdict on Go Button
Go Button is an iOS audio playback app for live performances, including theater, dance recitals, weddings, church services, puppetry, and magic shows. It supports sequential cue playback with a GO button, manual Hit buttons for ad-lib playback, and simultaneous playback of multiple sounds. Operators can build show playlists and run cues from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, making it a focused option for productions that need a dedicated mobile playback workflow.
Its strongest area is cue control. Each cue can have independent volume, pan, speed, and pitch settings, along with auto-stop, fade in, fade out, loop, and ducking options. Go Button also supports Bluetooth and MIDI remote control, plus an OSC control API for triggering from QLab or other OSC sources. Audio can be imported and shared through AirDrop and iOS Files, with Dropbox and iCloud Drive also listed among its integrations. Passcode protection adds a control layer for shows.
The Free Version includes all Go Button functionality, no ads, and no time limits, but supports one saved show playlist at a time. The Pro License adds unlimited saved show playlists. That structure suits operators managing a single production or evaluating the workflow before keeping multiple shows available. Go Button is a strong fit for iOS-based theatrical cue operators who need detailed playback controls and external triggering. Teams requiring a desktop or browser app, or a platform beyond iOS, should choose an alternative designed for broader deployment.
