I use 2x mode on iPad, the graphical presentation is fine by me (although obviously not as good as the dedicated iPad app).

And for once UK App store is cheaper than USA !
$149.99 / 1.6 = ?93.75 and normally you'd expect 20% VAT on top of that !
Seriously, I use it and its great. If you bought a physical remote control it is just over ?50 - and you can install the app on all iPads that share the same iTunes account and it is wireless you don't have to worry about IR extenders etc.

If you can afford a Kaleidescape system, and you have an iPad or iPhone, then Remotescape is a must have. Actually I bought an iPad specifically to run Remotescape. My only gripe was not having an upgrade path from the iPhone version to the iPad version, other than buying the iPad version outright (and thus making the iPhone version obsolete).
They don't integrate with each other, they operate stand-alone, like all iPad Apps. So you won't have the one interface controlling everything. Remotescape will control your Kaleidescape system, if you buy the volume control licence it will also control vol+, vol- and mute on your audio processor. For everything else you'll need iRuleHD.
The app is great - I use it to control my audio through my whole-house audio...I bought the iphone version when it came out. I just got an iPad for my birthday, but I can't justify plunking down another $150 for the iPad version. Understandably the graphics are probably much better, but not worth $150 for the higher resolution when the functionality seems to be the same as on the iphone version.
I wish there was an iPad upgrade path for people who already bought the iphone version.

WOW $150!!!!!
I thought it was $100 just last month. I agree I wish there was an IPad upgrade path, or some sort of option for iPhone owners.
I'm not sure that the app store can do that (i.e its either a free upgrade or a new product)

Actually I think Apple is pretty reasonable about issuing refunds if you purchase an app and are not happy with it.
They kind of hide the fact that you can do it, but this article explains how: http://www.knowyourmobile.com/features/408977/how_to_get_a_refund_from_the_itunes_app_store.html
As a developer we don't get to control the refunds at all -- it's all up to Apple. But we wouldn't want to keep the money of an unsatisfied customer.

The Remotescape Volume Control feature provides an "Activity Starting" event that's triggered when you launch the app and pick the zone you want to control. You can attach any commands you want here, including turning on components and selecting modes. (That is, you can control anything that can be controlled over TCP/IP on your home WiFi network.)
There are no configurable soft-buttons within the app itself beyond volume up/down and mute toggle, so if you need to make additional manual adjustments beyond these while using Remotescape, you need to switch to another remote control (either an iPad app for this purpose, or any other remote you have).
There's a detailed tutorial on setting up volume control integration on the Remotescape site here: http://www.remotescape.com/volume_control_tutorial.shtml Search for "Activity Starting" to see the part about setting up initial commands to configure a zone after it's selected by the user.
