### 1/5 — Doesn’t launch

*2025-11-01*

On iPhone 16 PM with latest iOS

### 1/5 — Brightness

*2025-06-03*

I’d like to be able to adjust the brightness setting. Using with my lumi keys (piano M). The option isn’t listed. It’s the one option I would like right now.

### 5/5 — Glad you created this for iOS!

*2025-04-29*

Works exactly as you describe. Would love it if you could add presets, so I could close the app, but would gladly buy it again and again.

Update: It’s a great app. Solves a big problem for us weird/clever ROLI users. Yes, scenes would be great…

Sadly, it doesn’t work on my (new) 13 Pro Max either! Pleeeeeeese…

### 4/5 — Key change!

*2025-01-30*

Fixed! Thank you so much

**Developer response:** Hi,
Thanks for the feedback. I just released a new version which provides a way to change the root note of the scale for LUMI keyboards.

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-01-29*

I purchased this Jan 28th 2025 to use with my Roli Lightblock. However, the app won’t launch. I am using it on my iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 18.1.1. Seems something changed since this app was last updated. And there is no way to reach the developer to ask for assistance. I am hoping I can at least get a refund since I can’t even get this to work.

### 5/5 — Lifesaver for ROLI Blocks users on iPad

*2025-01-24*

I just got a used Lightpad and this is a life saver. I work only on iPad Pro and this makes the lightpad useful. Without it, the pad was just stuck in one key and was essentially useless. I wish it allowed you to create surfaces and upload them, but I’ll take what I can get. Well worth the money.

### 1/5 — Ahhhhhhhh

*2025-01-21*

Stopped working. Pretty good when it worked.

### 1/5 — Crashes to Homescreen

*2024-11-18*

Launching on iPhone just crashes straight to Home Screen. It works on my iPad but this is marketed as a universal app. 

please fix it.

### 5/5 — Glad you created this for iOS!

*2024-10-18*

Works exactly as you describe.
Would love it if you could add presets, so I could close the app, but would gladly buy it again and again.

### 5/5 — This helps me a lot!

*2024-06-25*

As a mostly-iOS LumiKeys user, I shared that group's frustrations about needing to go to another computer to change setting.  This, while not the most elegant or friendly-looking interface you'll ever see, absolutely helps me get more out of the instrument.  I can change key signatures and scales quickly, without disconnecting, and the more I mess with it the simpler it gets....practice, one might say, helps!  And, finally, I can get some use out of the "light up the notes of the scale you've selected" magic, so it may even help me play other piano keyboards, eventually.  Worth the price easily!
