APPlicator

Pretorian Technologies' innovative APPlicator is a Wireless Switch Interface that can provide Scanning Switch Access to Switch Adapted Apps, Music and Photography from just a single switch (it does support the use of up to 4 switches). Bluetooth technology links this device to the iPad, iPad mini, iPad Pro and iPhone, as well as other Bluetooth enabled tablet devices or computers such as Android and Surface Pro. Up to four switches can be connected and programmed to any of 24 functions via the convenient built-in display. An integrated button on the APPlicator deploys or hides the on-screen keyboard at any time with just a single touch.

There are a variety of features that provide for quick access to commonly desired functions. The Quick Media button provides instant preconfigured access to basic media function such as play/pause, skip forward, skip back and 10 second timed play, and with a switch set for "Volume Up" users can easily capture images or video with the Camera App.

New features now available (2018 Black models) include a new "Keypad Lock" that prevents inadvertent changes to settings, a programmable "single-shot" mode for users who find removing their hand from the switch difficult, and a manual power-off feature for use when the unit is being transported.
