### 1/5 — Pretty useless...

*2019-10-14*

I have tried to use this app to change FX settings on programs (since you can’t do it from the keyboard itself). You can’t change FX settings themselves but you can select insert chains... unfortunately, it never seems to edit the selected program but a previous one! Which means you end up messing up your settings more than anything. The Artis is a nice keyboard but sadly both the desktop and iPad app make it pretty much uneditable...

### 1/5 — Needs IOS 11 Support,

*2018-07-25, version 1.0.1*

Title says it all.

### 4/5 — Where are the Updates?

*2018-07-17, version 1.0.1*

The app works really well for what the things it does. However, it does not offer the deep editing such as that found in the Windows version. The description for this app even says there will be more features added in the future. Where are they? Let's go guys. Looks like you're abandoning the Artis. Bring on the updates....
