### 1/5 — Can’t update my ax-edge

*2025-07-31*

I cannot update my ax edge software and thus cannot use the app at all. It keeps telling me to update my keytar, but I am unable to. Keytar does not work well without the app, and Roland offers no support

### 1/5 — Seriously?

*2023-12-27*

Such a fun synth but it’s as if the editor never made it past beta testing.  Usability low. I wish they would improve this.

### 1/5 — Nice instrument, TERRIBLE app

*2023-10-23*

When I started out, I was hopeful, optimistic about using my new Ax Edge for gigs, especially at smaller venues.  The good news is, the Ax Edge works well for this.  The bad news is, the editor app is terrible!! 

To begin, the Bluetooth interface seldom works.  Why is this even a problem?  I bet I own 2 dozen BT devices, but this one doesn’t like to work.  It is difficult to get it to stay “on”, on the keyboard.  It isn’t found by my phone (Android), it s found by my iPad but only connects once and a while.  I can’t believe this is an issue…

For the app, if you do get a BT connection:
- user “unfriendly” tabs, layers, screens
- screen will not rotate to landscape orientation
- phone resolution is “grainy” for a tablet
- no separation of tones into categories causes scrolling through all tones when searching
- no ability to manage tones or move around in library
- no computer interface

Keep in mind that tone editing on the fly or during a performance is nearly out of the question.  With this in mind, basic use improvements would be:
- the Editor and file management should be available as a hard-wire option to a computer
- the screen should at least rotate when using a tablet
- screen resolution should auto-adjust based on platform used

Nice instrument, poor editor…bad on Roland

### 1/5 — Big problem!

*2023-06-07, version 1.1.0*

Greetings. The app does not work with the tool!!!! requires an app update! what to do????

### 2/5 — Axial download missing on iPhone app

*2021-12-01*

Wanted to download some axial free sounds. Per the tutorial in the edge editor click library and select the axial icon. There is no icon on my app and I have the latest version.  Disappointing

### 1/5 — Impossible to use and zero support

*2021-07-29*

The app demands that I update the Keytar. Well, I cant update it because I don't have a computer. I try to contact support, but I cant even enter the AX Edge or any other product under "product" so it is impossible to get help on their help form.
It is impossible to contact Roland by email or chat.
Every link I click sends me to the same useless page where it wont let me enter any information on the form.

### 5/5 — Все работает

*2021-02-01, version 1.1.0*

После обновления iOS 14.4 приложение снова стабильно работает.

### 1/5 — The app isn’t working with latest IOS

*2020-12-20, version 1.1.0*

I’ve just finished with all my attempts to setup my roland ax-edge - i’ve tried everything and it is always just: “unable to read data. Make sure the connection with MIDI devices”. I was looking for the solution everywhere but it doesn’t work. I want to use my AX-EDGE fully but I can’t with your awful app. Please fix this ASAP.

### 1/5 — Не работает!!!

*2020-12-20, version 1.1.0*

Выдаёт ошибку при подключении, iOS 14

### 1/5 — Ios 14 not connection.

*2020-12-20, version 1.1.0*
