### 1/5 — No longer works with iOS26

*2025-09-23, version 1.12*

My Apogee One no longer works with iOS26. The built in mic as well as the external one are no longer recognized by the iPhone nor iPad. Terrible. The app and drivers need an urgent update and fix.

### 4/5 — daaammmn 😔

*2024-12-09*

### 1/5 — Not ok unworking on ipad pro

*2024-07-18, version 1.12*

Not ok unworking on ipad pro

### 3/5 — Works with lightning only

*2024-01-07, version 1.12*

I thought for three years that it wouldn't work at all but you'd just have to plug the lightning cable into your iOS device with the power supply connected at the same time, go to Settings > General > About > One > Find App for Accessory and go from there.. Doesn't work with USB connections though due to MFi certification issues..

### 1/5 — Not fit for purpose

*2023-08-20, version 1.12*

2 years since 1.12. App is just not fit for purpose, not up to the standards we expect from Apogee and symbolises a cavalier expectation of  continuing support from loyal customers.

The hardware I use (One, Duet and Quartet) is great. The ones internal mic though is average and noisy. But whilst Apogee may have enjoyed a general reputations and mythology for high quality hardware the competition by no means lags behind any longer. This dreadful attempt of an app could just be the reason to move to another system completely. Apogee should be mindful that loyalty is hard won and easily lost. For example my experience of support offered by Audient is superb, as is UAD. Once the myth of that Apogee “sound” has been busted then why stay loyal? Not because of the quality of iOS apps that’s for sure. 

Sort it out.

### 1/5 — Does not work with iPad Pro

*2023-07-05, version 1.12*

Software does not recognise my Duet iOS, so can’t use that with iPad Pro. Shame

### 5/5 — Cool app

*2023-06-17*

Really nice app

### 1/5 — Apogee should change its name into “epic fail”

*2023-01-24, version 1.12*

Congratulations, you just bought an apogee jam+ device. Want to update on your Mac? Oh, sorry, you can do it only on your iOS device, or ship it to the US and get it updated this way.

Wait a second. I just received an iPad Pro M2, I can finally update it on Maestro! No way! This app is so crappy and badly designed that you cannot see the device and update it. Such a pity that it does not feature its main function.

Wait a second, you have the badly designed Apogee support site, where you cannot find a way to solve this issue after days of browsing. No matters if you have a concert or you work with your device and you just want it to be working properly after having paid for it 160€.

And finally the support tells me… “sorry, we know the issue, you must find an old iOS device and use it to update it”. WHAAAT? Are we in 2023 or in 1993?
Well, I did it, and guess what? I can’t see the device on my brand “new” iPhone 6S. “Cable issue” they say. So sad that I was using their brand new (this time for real) lightning-miniUSB cable. And I even tried it on someone else’s device (still old as an iPhone 6S).

This means: wasted money. I can put my device in the garbage. The same place where I will send every future decision to buy any device of Apogee for the rest of my life. They work even worse than these app like Maestro, even worse than their cables.

ApoGeesus Christ, what an epic fail!

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2023-01-11*

More complicated to connect my iOS device than the previous version with my Apogee Duet 2. Always saying “waiting for device” even when I have everything properly hooked up. Requires a lot of troubleshooting and leaves a lot of time wasted. So far Duet 3 and the app are making me sad as a long time Duet 2 iOS user and fan. Hope it gets better…

### 1/5 — Junk.

*2022-12-01*

Apogee had a great reputation in the late ‘00’s due to the original Duet. Somehow they seem to have no desire to live up to it since that time. My Duet 2 had a recurring firmware issue that forced me to return it. My One no longer works with modern iOS devices with USB-C. This is not permanent hardware incompatibility. They just don’t want to update the software. 
If you are serious about great hardware and software support for as long as your device lasts, check out RME. They are in a completely different (read: better) class. Avoid Apogee.
