User reviews

Does not connect

I have a gen 3 100w and when it scans for devices all it shows is a black screen it does not connect at all

Needs work

When I download a preset from tone exchange it takes 30 to 60 seconds for it to actually load on the amp. Also, the LEDs on the app go out of sync with the LEDs on the amp.

eh

great amp not as great app. definitely needs work, gotta sign back in every time i open the app. very rare it works like its supposed to.

Terrible app that lets down Boss

Update. Impossible to use with Artist Series mk 3. When I use in combination with a foot switch, app seems to discard effect settings that were previously selected on the patch and also things like amp volume etc. Found it is totally un-usable to make quick tweaks on the fly which makes it pointless. Think there is a problem between interaction of foot switch, amp and app. Boss - very disappointing and your developers need to fix this. Also, regularly loses connection with MIDI adapter and then can’t get it back. Terrible user experience in UI. Way too clunky and no thought to how users might use it. Boss needs to put some investment into this as it is the way the industry is moving. At the moment.. this app is terrible.

Good but...

The app itself is great it just needs landscape veiw and overall needs to have the bluetooth integrated into the amp also it just needs to be simplified
