McRocklin Patches?

Thanks for adding the old Blues patches. Can we have the McRocklin patches added to the Tone Exchange too, please?

No connection

It would be nice if this app would connect. I have tried with my phone and my tablet. Neither one will connect.

Very poor outdated app

I’ve been using the app with a katana air amp for 4 years now. Amp is fine but the app is pretty rubbish to be honest. I’ve had a few occasions where it just wont connect and updating it….well I don’t even know how to do this, it’s just all really clunky. I’ve now lost all my tones and for the life of me I cannot work out how to download them again. Just try finding how to contact Boss to do this on their website is just impossible, so I’m going to ditch the amp and buy a spark amp which just seems so much more advanced and easy to use

No Firmware Update

It’s painful to update the firmware. I have Windows 11, installed the driver, and it is still not displaying the Katana drive. I followed the instructions on how to enable the amp to update the firmware, but no luck! They should add the firmware update using this app.

Worst app ever used

This is the worst app I have ever used. So many problems it would take hours to describe.
