Great app but , there are a big problem

I really liked this app and felt like it was perfect but i run across some serious problems, I am using it to play my favorite game on my pc as a keyboard but

1 - I realized that all of the keyboard letters are not working except some numbers and other symbols.

For me it’s was not a good sign but I managed to change the control input on the game to numbers and symbols so I can press them but

2 - I found that the buttons had a pressing limitations , for example (input button) you can press them and the input is immediately sent to the game but you can’t press the button fast and repeatedly ,( it’s not designed for a very fast based games ) and (Action buttons) you can surprisingly press them fast but the input will only go after you release the button which is also not a good option for me. So I couldn’t really enjoy my experience.

My recommendation for solving the problem are:
First of all, Fix the letters input, and for the second problem , they can put a toggle button on the action button sitting menu ( Tap to Act ) not after releasing the button or fix the repetitive duration limit for input button after each tap to make it fast .

I really hope the developers fixes this issue ASAP.

If This Would send MIDI Messages Too, A Huge Market Would Be Captured

Very promising! I’ve lowered my score a bit, because the version loses connection when ActionPad is arranged in the background. Have to reconnect every time I move it back to the foreground. Makes it very tedious to use, as I need to move apps ‘fore and back’ quite a bit.
Also, if you create a layout with many pads, and then decide to increase or decrease the columns in the layout, the pads are not properly redistributed, and many pads can be instantly lost. There is also no duplicate, copy/paste function for pad settings, or ability to edit multiple pads. Strange oversight that I hop is added. If these issues are addressed, I will certainly revise my review )

Also, If This Would send MIDI Messages Too, A Huge Market Would Be Captured. It would be massive for use with DAW’s Pretty Please!

Very handy app

I use this in everything gaming, Sony camera control, photo editing, car road tuning…etc. Just a fantastic app! I would like some more advanced functionality though! Such as more button feedback options and perhaps ways to animate. Even simple things like a countdown timer would be awesome.

Very Promising

Embryonic, but already very useful. The last update was a good boost.
Very reasonably priced.
Keep it going!

Does not work

Doesn't work. Wasted $. And wasted my time.

Scam

I got charged after unsubscribing.

Stuff streamdecks

For £1.79 this is great. In one hour I’ve created an app that I can control a whole host of my stream setup with. Brilliant especially when you consider how expensive the alternatives are - fully appreciate a deck can do more however, my stream is mostly voice controlled so this is an excellent accompaniment

Major bugs

I spent hours setting up a custom panel for an editing package. Multiple crashes during the creation. Once done the panel scaled and I lost part of it off the screen.

I will have to completely redo this again which is a major disappointment and a waste of time. At this point I am regretting the purchase.

Liked it a lot

Excellent for flight simulator shortcuts. Clean and uncluttered.
An unusual and potentially useful feature is that you can control the position of the mouse cursor on the screen.
Excellent service from the developer when I had a problem in setting up an additional device running an older version of iOS.
Had a reply within an hour.
