This app could be so good. ### 3/5 — Will not go in landscape *2022-01-24, version 3.20.0* The app use to go in landscape ,but now it stays on portrait . I restarted my iPad 3x and it still stayed in portrait. Plz Fix ### 3/5 — Where is my metronome?) *2021-10-26* Really cool and handy app, but what is the problem to add metronome functionality control to it??? ### 2/5 — No iPad version? *2021-03-07, version 3.13.1* I feel like I’ve stepped back a decade when iPad apps where zoomed version of iPhone apps... you want iPad to show wider real estate of the effects chain but instead a, working through a letterbox again! I’m seriously marking this app down for that. Plus I needed to buy an external Bluetooth connector to make the gt1000 core even work with the app at all... ### 1/5 — Hopeless *2020-12-07, version 3.13.1* Locks up as soon as it’s launched. Oh Roland/Boss what has happened to you? ### 2/5 — They fixed the issue with iOS 14.x but... *2020-12-06, version 3.13.1* It’s even slower than before on my iPad Pro. 1 to 2 min before the Write button becomes available when switching between patches. Almost unusable. Not an issue with the iPhone so something is wrong with Boss’s iPad code. ### 1/5 — App crashes *2020-12-02, version 3.13.0* Once I connect to Bluetooth the app crashes. It use to work fine. ### 1/5 — Ne fonctionne plus depuis la dernière mise à jour *2020-11-23* Cette application, très utile pour régler le boss GT1000 depuis un iPad, fonctionnait très bien jusqu’à la dernière mis à jour. Depuis la mise à jour, la connexion entre l'iPad et le GT1000 est impossible. Le GT1000 se connecte bien à l’iPad en Bluetooth mais juste après la validation une erreur de connexion s’affiche ! Cette fonctionnalité manquante pour le GT1000 est vraiment handicapante !!! ### 1/5 — It just won’t connect anymore *2020-11-18, version 3.13.0* I’m current on all updates but at some point the bt connection broke and it will not pair. Phone finds the unit but the gt briefly says bt offline and connection drops. ### 3/5 — Wm *2020-07-20* Guys i have problem with blue tooth there is no-signal from the gt 1000 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 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! ### 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. https://www.roland.com/cloud/contact-us/ ### 1/5 — Bluetooth issues *2024-01-28, version 3.20.2* Does not connect to my phone. ### 1/5 — Started off well, gone downhill *2023-12-04* Hey Boss, it’s really sad that this app is rated poorly. It has so much potential. Right now, I can no longer connect any Apple devices via Bluetooth. I’ve submitted a ticket. I just don’t get the feeling Boss is committed to this app. ### 1/5 — BossTone studio application doesn’t keep up with updates. *2023-09-21, version 3.20.1* The boss tone studio application will not link up to my GT one effects pedal. I believe it’s because the boss tone studio application is out of date with the current Mac, Apple operating system. Boss company update your applications please. Thanks RM. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect *2023-04-16, version 3.20.1* Boss doesn’t keep updated along with Mac updates, therefore it’s not compatible ### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible! *2022-09-10, version 3.20.1* This app is a joke. Absolutely horrendous looking. It has a display resolution of about 30x40. The UI is harder to use than the controls on the GT1000 itself. I’m definitely selling my gt1000. ### 1/5 — Communication error *2021-09-07* Hello, pls update your app. It not working with iOS 14.7.1 ### 1/5 — Bad app *2021-01-15* Much bugs, not stable app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Génial *2021-01-26* Fonctionne parfaitement, ça me permet de régler facilement mon pédalier ! ### 5/5 — Great app but I can’t use it with iOS 14.2? *2020-11-22, version 3.13.0* Hi guys , when is the fix coming ? ### 5/5 — Until 14.2 *2020-11-09, version 3.13.0* Perfect until iOS update....just waiting for a patch ### 4/5 — Landscape *2024-05-28, version 3.20.2* Landscape UI please. ### 4/5 — Landscape would be nice *2019-05-01, version 3.0.0* Connection was easy on my iPad Air and iPhone 7. The controls are intuitive and editing is deep. It’s really handy when I’m at a gig and don’t want to hunch over my board. If you’re comfortable editing the GT1000 this app is great. Took off a star because I’d like to be able to view in landscape on my iPad. Version 3 firmware rocks. ### 4/5 — Хорошо, но не использует возможности экрана iPad *2019-02-04* Хорошее приложение. Почти не глючит. Но, к сожалению не использует возможности большого экрана iPad. Все изображение выводится в узкое маленькое маленькую область экрана. Словом, это приложение сделано для iPhone. Еще жалко, что нельзя использовать Midi Нельзя подключать к gt 1000 Midi контролеры и программы, а ведь протокол блютуз BT 4.1 позволяет. Даже звук фонограмм позволяет смешивать с гитарой, как это сделано в line6. ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Landscape *2024-01-15, version 3.20.2* We need the app to be displayed LANSCAPE, listen to the room please! ### 3/5 — Landscape *2023-12-30, version 3.20.2* Not going landscape is quite a disappointment. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
