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Very poor outdated app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.

Stopped working with Airstep

Nothing changed unless the App has updated. Now I can’t connect to katana and airstep , not showing up in Bluetooth devices , no help online

Cannot connect and support not helpful

A great amp made useless by very poor software support. Bluetooth connect very unreliable and no way to use it via USB

Landscape mode, fix session videos and MacBook.

The session view on iPad has a serious flaw as video window takes up too much of the screen. This then only leaves room to see 1 song title - the iPhone version is much better. A landscape view for effects better arranged would be better. The k air midi app does a better job.. if app could run on MacBook , this would be a big bonus !

About ready for a major update

The app is starting to get left behind by its competitors in terms of usability and graphical interface. Come on Boss your just being lazy

Technical issue on App

The app doesn’t work now. Want me change to librarian and tone center. That’s bad thing. And even trying to connect librarian. Still not work on the app. Please give explanation

Won’t even connect.

Will not connect. The amp has been great, but I haven’t been able to connect to the app once since buying the katana air ex. Pretty terrible user experience.

Oh come on, portrait mode only?

Practically unusable on iPad. Why do developrs do this?

The Amp is great, the app is lacking

There needs to be a serious UX overhaul on this app. It’s clunky and unintuitive and unappealing to the eye. I LOVE the hardware though. When I compare this to the Spark Live app, there’s a clear winner in terms of software design

Bluetooth Won’t Function (Brand new Headset)

I got this headset today to play my guitar and the Bluetooth won’t even pair at all. It will present the menu options and the headset is solid blue (showing it’s connected). Cmon Roland!

Was nice when it worked

This app was useful for Katana 50mkII with AIRSTEP Kat but after last update now it won’t pair. Katana librarian is an alternative. I’ll go back to using macOS version.

Can’t connect to Bluetooth from my phone to xsonic katana air

Airstrip kat edition just stopped showing up for bluetooth connection

With this 2.0 update I can no longer connect my airstep kat to the app anymore. While I could still connect it to other apps like the katana librarian. Please fix this.

Boss amp app

It doesn't work. It will not go into Bluetooth mode. Horrible and frustrating.
Tried everything.

Can't connect to iPhone 14 Pro iOS 16

I still getting the message communication error.. its a shame because the Headphone is amazing! Great effects and overall sound, but the App doesn't work...
