### 2/5 — Could be excellent

*2025-01-26, version 1.2*

This would be an excellent app if it’s functionality included the ability to adjust mixer parameters, thereby giving recording artists the ability to set up their own headphone mixes from their recording position without needing to move to the computer. 
I realise that the products for which this app is designed are legacy products, but there are thousands of Element and Ensemble Thunderbolt interfaces still in use around the world, and it would be great if Apogee would take a leaf out of RMEs book, and keep supporting them. In my opinion the Ensemble Thunderbolt is still one of the best and most versatile interfaces available - far more so than the new Ensemble Studio, at least for my use case. There is nothing in Apogee’s current catalogue which would tempt me away from my Ensemble Thunderbolt, and I’ll continue to use it until it finally dies. Sadly it’s full potential isn’t realised by this app, and probably never will be. Shame.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work in iOS 18

*2025-01-19, version 1.2*

Used to work. Not anymore

### 1/5 — Apogee it does not consider historical customers

*2024-09-26, version 1.2*

We often feel abandoned when we are guilty of having purchased a product that is a few years old.

### 1/5 — Bummer

*2023-12-10*

Had high hopes for this company. Seems they’ve taken a steep nosedive these past couple of years. Compatibility issues constantly with both macOS and iOS. Support is no help. For how expensive their products are you’d think they’d be a bit better. Oh well.

### 1/5 — Pretty Useless

*2022-12-19, version 1.2*

Not impressed with this app. It has minimal functionality and why is the scaling so large? It should be possible to see all of the settings on a single screen without having to scroll. No mixer functionality either. Very poor implementation.

### 1/5 — Non funziona

*2022-11-16, version 1.2*

Con iOS 16 crasha immediatamente, inutilizzabile.

### 1/5 — No support

*2020-11-08, version 1.2*

Apogee haven't updated this apps in years. It's not working very well - mute doesn't register, unable to see inputs or make adjustments to them. It only serves as preamp volume control. Apogee need to get their software department in order to provide the experience expected for their great hardware

### 5/5 — Great App but...

*2020-05-31, version 1.2*

You have everything you need in this app. Nothing cooler than walking around my studio with my iPad or iPhone while setting input gain for the whole band. I also have a dual station setup which requires me to be away from my ensemble Thunderbolt unit at times...awesome to have full control over all the ins in those moments. now here's the issue...this app is still missing a ton of features. No doubt it is to keep the app lean and to the point it would still be nice to have different tabs to do different things such as put it in direct monitor mixer modes so that I can offer my clients one of my 4 iPads so that they can have a touch screen access to their own independent mixes. JUST a thought....other than that this is powerful stuff here

### 5/5 — Works perfect

*2020-03-30*

Apogee developed a great app that I use with the Element 88.. it’s easy to use and I’ve never had any issues.

### 1/5 — Does not connect - same wifi

*2020-03-09*

Does not connect - unable to find device.
I am using the same wifi network on both my iMac and iPhone.

My equipment is:

iMac late 2013 - macOS Catalina
Apogee Element 24
iPhone 11 Pro
