  • So far so good.

    I got immediate Bluetooth connectivity with my FP 30. That made me happy. I went through each of the icons in the app to understand their functionality. And I did a couple of basic recordings which worked well. My only confusion right now is how to change keys in the Rhythms section. I don’t understand the explanation offered on the Roland website. Will continue to figure it out.

  • Won’t connect

    Every single time i want to use my piano with this app, i have to delete it and reinstall it, otherwise it just wont connect to my piano. I have the FP-10 and though its connected to my ipad, it wont connect to the app. It just says scanning. The only way i can fix this is if i delete the app and reinstall it. Please, for the love of God…. Fix this

  • Horrible app

    This app is too difficult to use. It doesn’t automatically connect to the piano when turned on. I have to manually select it every time. The front on the sheet music is too small, and there is no way to zoom or adjust it. I am using my iPad and it’s still smaller than standard sheet music. The play through of the songs doesn’t allow you to start playing from a particular measure. It will only start playing from the beginning. Doesn’t matter that I’m working on page two or three. Super frustrating.

  • worthless

    I’ve tried this worthless app over the years. It’s almost impossible to connect to it easily if at all. You would hope that a Roland app would work with a Roland piano. Should have looked into another piano brand if this is what Roland delivers.
  • Roland should be embarrassed

    What a buggy, useless, and lazy app. It seems as though Roland hired a third-party contractor to make this app solely so they could check off the “we have an app” box.

    The app is super buggy and prone to constant freezing and crashing. If only this was the worst of its problems.

    This app’s biggest problem is that it doesn’t do anything useful. And to add insult to injury, it comes tantalizingly close to what the app’s users obviously want. For example, the app lets you record what you play on the piano. Neat, right? Nope. You can’t export or share the audio recording. You can only listen to it in the app. And when you play it, it can only be heard through the piano’s headphones or speakers. This is mind-boggling dumb. Thankfully, you probably won’t have to deal with this annoyance because the app will likely crash halfway through recording.

    Each time I open the app, I have to pair the piano with it as if the app has never before connected to it.

    The interface looks like it was designed for the iPhone 3G and they couldn’t be bothered to update it any time in the ensuing fourteen years.

    I could go on and on, but I’ll stop here before I have an aneurysm.

    This app is a raging dumpster fire. Roland should be embarrassed.

  • It has its prose and cons

    When I record something it puts it in a different instrument but it is useful because you have access to more sounds and you can see all the songs there sheet music. It could use some fixing, but over kinda good
  • Buggy mess

    Oh my goodness this app is borderline unusable. There has been a bug in this app for over a YEAR where if you tap the + button on the transpose scale, it will stay activated transpose the maximum number of half steps upwards. The “recorder” page is immanently broken. I literally could not leave this page. None of the buttons did anything. Had to close the app to escape. Also split piano is worthless- you can’t sustain the left split, the sustain only works for the right split! What’s the point???

    Seriously Roland please do better. Please try. Please pretend to care. This is literally more frustrating and harmful than helpful. Just don’t offer an app if you’re gonna give it out to contractors for the lowest possible price and market your piano as having app integrations. This ain’t it.

  • Glitchy, crashes often

    Connecting to piano always takes multiple tries. Disconnects by itself while app is in use then refuses to reconnect. Record function only works some of the time. My Roland piano has lots of great features available (only) through this app but the app is such a nuisance to use, and not at all dependable. Seriously, had I known it was so bad I would not have bought this particular model. Not a happy customer! Please update ASAP.

  • Recording cant load

    Please can someone fix the recording button! Anything over four minutes cannot be saved or load it’s a real pain when you’re trying to record and you play the song and it won’t save.
  • Saving new default settings

    I have not been successful in getting my Roland RP-102 piano to save my preferences as new default settings (the piano’s manual describes how to use the ‘function’ and ‘volume up’ buttons to do this). Since the app is designed to change these settings, why isn’t there a button in the app to save a new default? Seems like an obvious oversight to me…
