### 3/5 — Needs to be better

*2026-04-18, version 2.0.4*

App is ok but why, oh why can it not work in horizontal rotation mode so it looks like the actual interface on the unit. Just would make so much more sense. I also use on a tablet, it’s a real let down.

### 2/5 — Why vertical?

*2026-03-15, version 2.0.4*

Roland, please add landscape mode!!!
It just makes a lot more sense. Especially for viewing long effect chains. At this point the gx’s touchscreen wins. Despite having to bend to reach it. 

I’ll use Nike slogan here: “just do it”

### 1/5 — The app could be great, but it’s too slow!

*2026-01-08, version 2.0.2*

i’ve been using this app for at least two years now.  In general, the app works relatively OK except when it comes to changing/saving parameters, presets, etc…It can take FOREVER!  If you’re at a gig and you have to make a change very quickly, you’re gonna be out of luck and out of time using this app.  In addition, BOSS has got fix the PC version of the editor….same situation.   ITS TOO SLOW!   Come on BOSS, help ur customers out here!

### 2/5 — 不安定・バグ？

*2025-11-01, version 2.0.2*

iPhoneからBluetooth経由でバックトラックを流していると突然、バックトラックのボリュームが最大になり以降iPhone側でボリュームを下げても反応しません。
それとこれまで何回か勝手に総浚いの様に何の操作もしていないのに順々にパッチが移動していきます。世界のローランド最新マルチとしてはお粗末極まりないです。

### 2/5 — So slow and drops out - unusable

*2025-09-25, version 2.0.2*

I really want to love this as the general interface is good and it’s easy to build and edit new chains/tones. The amount of pedals all in one here is phenomenal. I’ve tried connecting using both my iPhone 16 pro max and my iPad Air (m2), but it takes at least 10 seconds for each preset to load or save and frequently drops out just when you’re saving. I’ve lost work I’ve tried to save (having thought I did). I’ll stick to plugging my Mac in (which is frankly a pain) or being hunched over the pedal to make changes on the fly. This app though is sadly unusable.

### 4/5 — Great but need landscape view

*2025-01-22, version 2.0.2*

Come on Boss, don’t leave out your iPad users!

### 3/5 — Landscape mode needed

*2025-01-21, version 2.0.2*

Overall I’ve enjoyed using this app on an iPad. However, a landscape mode would be a massive improvement for editing patches. The views on the actual GX100 are all in landscape, and they don’t translate very well to a portrait screen. E.g. the effects chain goes left to right, even on the app, so requires a lot more scrolling than it should. At the very least, if a landscape mode isn’t probable, then allowing the effects chain to render top-down would solve the problem. Given that’s the screen that I, and I’d expect many guitarists, use most often (fine tuning settings on the pedals and amp-sims) this is a fairly major grievance.

### 1/5 — Landscape

*2025-01-01, version 2.0.2*

App is functional but without landscape mode not recommended for iPhone and IPads.

### 2/5 — Boss Bluetooth app slow

*2024-11-19, version 2.0.1*

Needs an update on app to open up faster. Too slow, laggy and frustrating when you playing a show when you change presets and goes to a square icon and you have to wait before all settings come back on. The app should be on the fly, not slow stalls.

### 1/5 — ipad app please

*2024-10-01, version 2.0.0*
