Almost never works
Pedal shoes up in my list of pedals on the app, it shows as connected to Bluetooth in my phone, but it will never open the pedal’s in-app features.
Response from developer
Sorry you have experienced this issue with your pedal - we have since fixed a number of potential connectivity issues. First confirm your pedal has the latest firmware (in UA Connect) and once you're done or if you have issues, the fix is to close the app, go to Settings->Bluetooth and remove the pedals from the list (click (i) and then forget device). Start app and re-add pedal. That should solve connectivity and stability issues.
First review ever written
Unreliable connections . Disappointing . Please improve . Looking forward to updates .
Easy to use!
Was having difficulty with connecting pedal (dream65) to PC but once downloaded app onto phone everything fell into place - registration simple, new speakers immediately onto pedal and access to a large number of great presets! The app was a lifesaver (in pedal terms). Only 4 stars as nothing is ever perfect and if you go full bore where else do you go?

What are my preset settings?
The app is fairly stable and mostly reliable but they’ve really dropped the ball in its execution of aiding the practical needs of guitar players.
My major complaint about this app is that you can not see what the pedal settings actually are when you load a preset. So you have no idea how the knobs are set and why things sound the way they do. On the pedal itself there is no way to sweep the knobs and find out where they are stored. I was truly shocked by this as it doesn’t seem like much to ask for; other companies have had features like this for the last 10-20 years (SansAmp and Strymon to name a few). These settings are obviously stored in our preset files, so why not just let us visually see them.
In the end, this app is basically a glorified preset loader where they also given you access to artist presets. So let’s stop pretending it’s better than it truly is please.

Awesome update!
Love the new updates to the pedals, having a library for factory and user presets is just what I wanted plus there’s a lot of improvements for the footswitches. Great job!
Adds buffered bypass and new presets to my UAFX pedals
Excited to play around with these new presets made by UA, as well as the additional presets from five musicians. Having a buffered bypass toggle is great. I wish the app showed the dial values of each preset, so I can have a better idea of what it’s doing and so I can replicate them when in live mode. Great update!
