### 2/5 — iPadOS26.5で動作しない

*2026-06-16, version 1.2.7*

iPadで使用していますが、OSを最新の26.5にアップデート後動作しなくなったようです。

### 2/5 — Android みたいな遅延は無くなった

*2025-06-06, version 1.2.6*

Android nova3 では遅延が大きかったので、iPhone を頑張って購入。とんでもない出費になったが、遅延はかなり改善された。
しかし、アプリの音源がビブラートかかり過ぎていて、ライブでは使えないかなー

### 2/5 — Great looking app

*2025-04-16, version 1.2.6*

This app looks great but the only problem is it won’t let me connect my Roland ae-01 to it, tried different ways to connect with no result so app is a waist of time

### 1/5 — Very mad 😡

*2021-06-25, version 1.1.2*

When I’m playing the aerophone with the app it is making a squeaky noise which sounds very off.

### 2/5 — 練習としては使い難い

*2021-01-30, version 1.1.1*

iPadの横画面に対応していないし、練習用楽譜も1ページ(2小節ごと)に切り替わりで、次の音階が分からないので、練習用としては使い難い。また、運指表も全音階が1ページに入りきっていない為、使い難い。そういう所が楽器初心者に優しくない。
設定に関しては、色々出来て良い。
説明書には、Bluetooth接続の説明しか無く、iPadとUSB接続できる事がはじめは分からなかった。

### 1/5 — Disappointed!!!!

*2020-05-12, version 1.1.1*

Same as the other fellow above... first thing I’ve tried was playing along with a song from my library on iPhone X.
All songs show “This song is not compatible with the App”
Look all over the net, forums, YouTube, Rolland site... Nothing 
Wrote to Rolland Support, let’s see if they reply

### 3/5 — Needs to work

*2020-04-25, version 1.1.1*

I want to make it more karaoke clean

### 2/5 — アップデート望む

*2020-03-16, version 1.1.1*

バックグラウンド再生ができるようにして欲しい。

### 3/5 — disappointing...

*2020-02-25, version 1.1.1*

Aerophone Mini is a blast to play. I love it! However this app is hugely disappointing. I have iphone xr running ios 13 and one of this app’s advertised key features just doesn’t work. Trying to play along with song from phone, playback of track audio sounds like old-time scratched and skipping record. Not even close. Support is chasing one knowledge base article after another and no seeming way to get an answer very easily.

### 3/5 — 横向きにするべき

*2019-12-29, version 1.1.0*

良い点
・音色などの設定を見ながら簡単にできる。
・曲に合わせて運指を見ながら練習できる。
悪い点
・ipadを縦向きで使用する人など存在しない。
・縦向き使用を強制するから、楽譜が２小節しか表示できず次の音がわからない。

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-08-02, version 1.2.7*

久しぶりにアプリを開いたらアプリが起動しない。
アプリ削除後に再DLしても状況変わりません。
これはひどい。

### 1/5 — No longer working

*2026-08-01, version 1.2.7*

This app is no longer working on my iPhone or iPad. Takes me to a ‘Roland’ screen but no further. Please fix.

### 1/5 — This app has stopped working since updating to update 26.5.2

*2026-07-21, version 1.2.7*

This app has ceased to work since updating my iOS devices. The app opens to the Roland front screen then goes no further. Reinstalling the app and restarting devices has not worked, neither has repairing devices.  Plus there is no direct way to report this issue has the report a problem link only takes one to a page where there are a few inappropriate pre-scripted issue to choose from. Likewise the link for Roland given only takes you to a document download page.

### 1/5 — Also locked out

*2026-06-29, version 1.2.7*

App continues to not open on an iPhone. Come on Roland get this fixed. Or be honest and tell us you have quit working on it.

### 1/5 — 使えない

*2026-06-22, version 1.2.7*

iPhone版が起動しない。
アプリがあって、エアロフォンMINIが100%機能するはずなのに、買って最初から使えないのは最悪。

### 1/5 — It just doesn’t start

*2026-06-09, version 1.2.7*

It used to work before. Now it is stuck on the first screen. Surprisingly disappointing for Roland. I used to trust this company

### 1/5 — Funktioniert überhaupt nicht

*2026-06-08, version 1.2.7*

Die App öffnet sich nicht einmal! Roland Kundenservice gibt keine Antwort.

### 1/5 — Why have an app that won’t work at all

*2026-05-29, version 1.2.7*

Unable to get past the Roland logo.

### 1/5 — Latest iOS version (apparently) breaks this app

*2026-05-27*

As others have also noted, the app hangs at launch on the Roland screen. The responses that have been given to others have not resulted in any improvement to the app’s performance and functionality. Be extremely wary of purchasing the handsomely priced product for which this app is the companion. Instead try a competitor. Roland clearly wants you to.

**Developer response:** Thank you for this feedback. We will be looking into this further and sorry to hear you are having this issue.

### 1/5 — Funzt nicht

*2026-04-17, version 1.2.7*

Klappt ab der Version 26.4 nicht mehr.

### 5/5 — It’s fixed!

*2026-08-10, version 1.2.8*

I complained loudest, so now I will thank and praise loudest, too. THANK YOU, Roland team, for fixing this app! Now, where was I in my learning…..?

### 5/5 — Locked out

*2026-05-08, version 1.2.7*

I am unable to open the Phone mini app. All I get is a screen with the words Rowland. And that’s all I keep reloading the app, but always get the same result. I’m very disappointed because I’m unable to play with my band. Because I can’t access the app. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

### 5/5 — Rolandさん旧式

*2024-05-01, version 1.2.6*

Rolandさん旧式で繋がりました！
練習用のキラキラ星最高です♪
じっくりスキルアップします。
僕はフェンダーギター好きがこうじて
Rolandさんのアンプとピアノにも
使用していますが
これからも頑張ります。
宜しくお願いします🙇

ありがとうございます😊

### 5/5 — アプリ音源は実は最高

*2022-06-15, version 1.2.4*

諸設定やオリジナルの運指が登録できる点は非常に便利です。
これに加えて、内蔵のアプリ音源が素晴らしい。

Bluetooth接続では遅延が激しくて使い物にならないので、USB で直付けです。USB-CのiPadなら簡単です。
ただ、再生音が内蔵スピーカーではショボいですし、Bluetooth では遅延が残ります。音声出力（3.5mmプラグ・DAC）付きのUSB-Cハブを使えば、全て解決します。

尚、アプリ音源の際に最初の1音の音量が極端に少ない問題は、リセットで解決しました。練習曲の楽譜が直前にしか表示されない所は何とかして欲しいですね。

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-02-16, version 1.2.2*

Works fine fine for me fantastic sounds and easy to use no problems I sound like a pro thank you very much.

### 4/5 — I have an Idea!

*2025-11-20, version 1.2.6*

Yes this has 12 custom fingerings.  However, I got this expecting to play it like a clarinet.  So in my mind the “transpose” buttons do not function.  When I create custom fingerings that make perfect sense to me as a clarinet player and want to play a sharp G it plays a different note entirely like very different.  That is because this instrument was designed for people who have never seen a woodwind in their lives.  The sharp button is not actually a sharp button it does not take the note you play and make it sharp.  Same with the flat button.  This becomes extremely apparent when you see the default fingerings.  However, there is a super easy fix just make it so I can have 36 custom fingerings in the actual app and create a way to change the transpose keys into acting like any regular key.  That would literally make everyone happy.  I also noticed that the play along feature does only show default fingerings it would just be a cool quality of life improvement if that could also be custom.  Honestly, besides the fact that it is confusing and basically impossible to play sharps and flats (with custom keys and clarinet logic) at the moment, this is still one of the best gifts I ever got and I am so thankful to use it and this amazing app.  But seriously I’d like to see an update that adds the features I recommended.

### 4/5 — 音楽ファイル再生時、頭切れになります。

*2022-05-29, version 1.2.4*

使用するスマホの種類により、症状の有無があるかと思われます。

現在使用しているのはドコモiPhone12ですが、
取り込んだ音楽ファイルを再生する時に、音楽が頭切れとなります。

以前使用していたAndroid（ドコモXperia）の時は何も異常ありませんでした。

是非改善をお願いします。
その他の点については何の不満もなく、素晴らしいアプリだと思います。

### 3/5 — Can’t get pass opening page

*2026-06-04, version 1.2.7*

It used to work fine now it won’t go pass home page on any my devices

### 3/5 — Its a little lame.

*2025-10-13, version 1.2.6*

For a complete beginner I dont hate on this app as much as others. I mean, it’s the cheapest product like this that they have.  I wanted more songs. I need more practice. They only give you 11, which is lame.  In general, the app is light on just about everything but I was happy just to have what they gave.  I think the product it’s been out for a long time, but obviously not doing support for it much but I think the product and the app. Are pretty cool pair.

### 3/5 — リバーブ

*2022-02-27, version 1.2.2*

リバーブの調節が欲しいな
今は響きがなくてすぐ音が無くなるから
