### 1/5 — Lazy developers?

*2026-06-29, version 4.1.1*

Any app that reports itself to be for iPad, but forces portrait mode is a POS

### 2/5 — No iPad version

*2025-11-25, version 4.1.0*

It’s ridiculous that no one at Roland thought to enhance this app to have a layout that works for iPads, like the desktop versions rather than the scaled up phone version we’re stuck with at the moment.

### 2/5 — Landscape orientation is a must

*2025-08-07, version 4.1.0*

I have my iPad in a fixed position on stage running a bunch of music apps that work best in landscape - yours needs to work in that mode as well!

### 1/5 — Проблемы с сопряжением iPad Air и процессора BOSS GT-1000

*2025-05-31*

Здравствуйте, господа разработчики!
Примерно месяц назад мой iPad перестал видеть процессор, хотя до этого всё было нормально и работало без проблем. Что случилось? Вы обновили приложение? 
Но вы пишете, что совместимость идёт от 10 версии iOS, а у меня версия 12.5.7 Можете прокомментировать ситуацию или как мне быть и что делать? У меня из-за этого возникла куча проблем с концертной деятельностью!

### 3/5 — GREAT APP BUT NEEDS BIG UPDATE

*2025-04-11, version 4.1.0*

I have the GTk Core, yes I had to buy the $50 Widi jack from a third party, which was super odd to not be built in , I digress. The app connects easily and is a simple and intuitive interface. There’s many ways to adjust each control or setting (swiping, typing in, tapping.) This is the best way to get the most out of BTS as connecting to a computer is a hassle. The giant issue with all BTS apps is that there is NO LANDSCAPE view so using on an iPad really lacks the benefits of the screen size.. BOSS either needs to make a specific iPad version or give this one an update to support Landscape to really sell out the stadium. Will update to 5⭐️ when landscape view is incorporated.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2025-01-24*

Does not connect to GT-1000core

**Developer response:** ​Sorry to hear you are having trouble and thank you for leaving a review. Feel free to reach out through our customer support portal and we would be happy to assist you further.

### 2/5 — Good potential but

*2024-11-02, version 4.0.0*

Having owned this for six years now, this is a finicky app. Most common issue is being able to connect to via Bluetooth in the first place Updates seem to break the connectivity and if you get a new phone, it’s a mess. This app could be so good.

### 3/5 — Functional

*2024-08-24, version 4.0.0*

Needs an iPad version with proper scaling but works well. Import export is very slow - wondering if there’s a problem with the Bluetooth interface? A cut and paste function will be great for the next update.

### 4/5 — Landscape

*2024-05-28, version 3.20.2*

Landscape UI please.

### 1/5 — Bluetooth issues

*2024-01-28, version 3.20.2*

Does not connect to my phone.
