### 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 — No instructions no developer website

*2023-08-15*

I can’t make this do anything useful at all and the developer provides nothing in the way of guidance. A total waste of money.

### 4/5 — 1 important feature missing

*2023-05-27*

This app is great but the only problem is that we can’t switch modes on it like the dashboard on the computer. It would be perfect if we could switch from note grid mode to fader mode instead of having to go back to the computer to do it. That’s the only downside in my opinion.

### 4/5 — It does work

*2022-11-25*

Im sitting here with and iphone se (2022) and a gen 1 lightpad. the settings change and stay changed when i close the app

I had some issues 2yrs ago on my XS, maybe it’s different or maybe i just know more now

Would be cool to have studio features but it’s enough just to put it in single channel mode

### 4/5 — Great!

*2022-01-14*

Works great to control what i need to control with my roli lightpad. Thank you! 

Although it seems to have lost its save function with recent ios update on iphone 12. It now is unresponsive and if I close an reopen the app then I'm prompted with a new but unresponsive text bar. Will give five star if this gets fixed: other than that it's awesome!

### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2022-01-02*

I’ve tried creating new preset but won’t work. Waste of money

### 1/5 — IOS 15

*2021-10-02*

Bei mir geht da momentan gar nix. Leere Felder. Tippen auf Pfeile, keine Reaktion.

### 1/5 — This app is a scam

*2021-03-21*

I’ve contacted Apple to get my money back. This app is a scam and is literally pictures of unclickable knobs and buttons

### 4/5 — Great for my Lightpad, but it doesn’t seem to support my Rise.

*2020-07-05*

Great for my Lightpad, but it doesn’t seem to support my Rise.

### 1/5 — Totally useless

*2020-06-08*

This is waste of money. Never used such useless app. You cannot  do anything with it. As soon as you close the app or go to a Synth app or AUM every adjustment is gone and default again. I am really angry.

### 2/5 — Frustrating

*2020-03-21*

I love what it is supposed to do. The problem is that I can hardly get it to respond to changes in the app. The app has very little help notes. I’m never sure if I am changing things or not. I will love it when it becomes a functional and intuitive app. 

The fact that it’s supposed to help change settings _ but doesn’t _ makes me more frustrated than never having used the app.

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — What even is this

*2024-04-03*

Not gonna sugarcoat this, this app is some kind of neglected project and should be free, I wouldn’t review it wasnt for the fact they charge for this trash. What the hell ROLI, your hardware is so good, why is your software so bad? First refund request I’ve ever made on the App Store.

### 1/5 — just won't start

*2024-02-25*

App crashes at start. Wasted money.

### 1/5 — Key change

*2024-01-29*

Please add key change feature for LUMI! There is no way I can figure out to change keys on iOS

**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 — iPad Pro 12.9

*2023-12-21*

Stürzt leider nur noch ab.

### 1/5 — If it doesn’t work I need money money back

*2023-11-12*

Don’t think I need to tell you this I want it to work but it doesn’t effect anything.

### 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…

### 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.

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

### 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!

### 5/5 — Works for me!!!

*2024-02-28*

This works exactly as I wanted it to!!! If you’re looking for the ‘key’ function that is available on the ROLI dashboard, the ‘transpose’ function will result in the same behavior. Really cool. (Especially as Lumi Keys is not compatible with my surface pro 2). Big thanks 😍

### 5/5 — Jetzige Version läuft

*2021-08-22*

Ich habe mir trotz der negativen Bewertung die App gekauft. SIE LÄUFT so, wie sie soll. Sie lässt sich intuitiv bedienen.
Bei einer Fehlfunktion werde ich diesen Kommentar ändern.

### 5/5 — Totally change my music making

*2021-02-28*

I love my ROLI collection but it’s such a pain to have to plug in to a computer to adjust parameters to fit my mobile music making. Already I’ve been able to easily adapt my blocks to the parameters of my current project and it was super simple!

### 5/5 — A perfect complement to Roli

*2020-03-04*

This app is exactly what Roli should have made for iOS when it launched its Bluetooth controllers. It fills the glaring gaps in Roli’s own iOS app so that users can actually use, edit, and manage all settings not accessible on Roli’s apps. The developer is extremely responsive, highly skilled, and a nice chap, to boot. If you have a Block, and plan to use it on iOS, you need this.

### 5/5 — Needed Utility

*2020-03-03*

Roli should have included an app with this function, but since they didn’t we have this app to fill the gap. It does what it says. 

Sometimes I need to switch up the way my Roli Seaboard works on different channels. Without this app, I would have to connect to a computer, which I don’t always have.

### 5/5 — Thanks for this.

*2020-01-14*

Works like it’s supposed too. Whoever Chris is ur the man. Keep up the updates and let’s keep this roli company alive.
