Worked great….now crashes!

It worked great….but on iPadOS 17.51 it crashes and does Not open….
Please fix it….thank you for this great app.

Simple and robust

I find iOS Bluetooth Low Energy MIDI connections incredibly flaky and, according to forums, I’m not on my own.

Apollo has been robustly connecting my old and new iPads so old iPad can MIDI remote things hidden on the other… effectively doubles my screen size, so that I can see into back of my newer iPad.

Stays connected for hours at a time. Simply fabulous!!

Wait a second - obsolete

Apple has already integrated Bluetooth over iOS - making this kind of obsolete (in my opinion). Sorry if that's not correct, but right now I'm wishing I didn't make the purchase so quickly (and that they hadn't jacked up the price from what it was before...)

A winner from a family of winners

Another great app from SPD!
It allows me to use my iPad and iPhone as an integrated system. This has greatly changed and improved my workflow.
Thanks again for this!

Another winner from this Dev

Another fun to use music making superstar app. I thought infinite looper was amazing and how can a developer come out with more so fast. Well here it is. There is a handful of iOS developers that I consider to be superstars that are honest, hard working, open to criticism and suggestions, and super talented that only come out with fantastic apps. This is one of those developers. I won't list the others because you will surely find them by reading mobile music blogs and web site reviews and watching YouTube app reviews.

No Windows Support

OS X only.

Broken

I have been using your product for months with major success. You just updated your app with keyboards and now the only thing that works is your new keyboards. All mid messages I send from any other apps are not transmitted. Please help.

It just works!

I love this! I use it with an iRig keys and iPhone to send Midi to my iPad which already has a Microphone plugged in.

Complete waste of money

Save yourself and do not buy this piece of crap.

Works exactly as advertised!

It's one of those rare situations where the thing does exactly what it says on the label. Perfect! This enables my workflow and never fails on me. For me it's critical, and performs just like I expect. Great app!

Fresh Air

I half expected I would need to blunder about trying to configure everything in order to have a hope of it working.

Instead, I downloaded to iPad and iPhone, opened apollo on each, then opened a synth on the iPad and Lemur on the iPhone.

All I had to do then was set Lemur to apollo and just like that I'm controlling my iPad synth with my iPhone Lemur "keyboard/LFO lab" template. MIDI learn worked just as it does when on the same device. Super!

Doesn't work

Doesn't detect my MacBook when iPad connected to it so completely useless. Shame.

Still Relevant: Apollo Succeeds where Apple Fails

Despite midi-over-bluetooth functionality being baked into OS X, this app is still relevant because it can connect apps that don’t work over Apple’s native midi-over-bluetooth solution. 5 Stars!!

Awesome

Brilliantly easy connectivity between iPhone <-> iPad, iPad <-> iPad, etc. Also there is a desktop version and apparently another app now which supports MIDI over USB.

It doesn't work since last update

Version 1.4 can't find each other (Mac and iPad ). I'm sorry for making the update....

Wireless keytar sweetness

I've been looking for a cheap option to create a wireless keytar and this works nicely. Time to get my geek on.

Good but...

This app is pure amazingness. I had occasional trouble getting it connected at first, then learned you have to hit the connect button at the same time on both devices. Great stuff.

Doesn't work with Yosemite.

Great app. Needs a better looking UI. Videos in the website should be updated and more on point with a detailed step by step guide. I've seen what this app does and it's amazing. We all want Logic Pro talking with our iOS fav synth!!!

Love it.

Works great with other gadget.

useless

I pair my iPad air to my current iMac over bluetooth… then wait for the app to connect to the ‘remote' iPad… I keep waiting. And that’s as far as I’ve gotten. If the process is more complex that this… then it needs to be simplified…. because as far as I’m aware that’s what it’s supposed to do.
