Good app with flaws

7/10 times it works fine, takes a while when selecting a preset on the app to go to the amp but that doesn’t matter to much. The biggest problem is pretty often it signs you out of your account and then deletes your library of tone patches you’ve saved and you lose all of them and it is such a pain to find them again

Keine Verbindung

Und leider völlig unzureichende Beschreibung, wie das funktionieren soll

??

My boss ktn50 g3 must be included bt module inside? Or need to buy some extended ?

Issues Connecting

Barely wants to connect. Needs updating.

iPad Landscape Mode needed

The app works as advertised. I’ve have no issues connecting to my iPhone or iPad. Adding landscape mode for the iPad would make it more user friendly to keep app open while using the amp.

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

I don’t get it

Why does Boss make a great amp but garbage apps to go with them? Really strange that they should get it so wrong.

Forgets library

Best part is how when it signs you out from the Roland account (forcibly) then forgets everything you had in your library… or if you shut off the amp while the app is still searching for the Bluetooth connection it also yeets all memory.

I mean it works…

If you can get past the outdated/slightly confusing user interface then this app is great! Additional FX and extra parameters in the app make dialing tones that much more fun. With all the extra control you get in the app, the Bluetooth module is very worth it. Just wish they would overhaul the UI. I want landscape mode on my iPad!

Awful

Download this app if you want to spend all your practice time screwing around with an incredibly poorly designed piece of software that evades all intuition and casual attempts at understanding what should be a very straightforward function. Get ready to spend hours fussing with this before giving up and wasting even more time taking a tutorial.

Why no landscape mode

I just don’t understand why we can’t add landscape support to this app. It just makes sense when using the app on a tablet.

Portrait Only

Nobody does anything real holding their phone in their hand. It’s on a table or stand or iPad in a case

まったく繋がらない

どうすればいいの

Can’t control via Bluetooth midi pedal

Apparently boss doesn’t allow third-party midi pedals to connect to this original app. The user must look for third party apps in order to control the amp vis Bluetooth midi pedals, witch is a shame.

UPDATE THE APP

please update the app!

Doesn’t work

I can’t find anywhere to update it and it won’t connect unless I update it someone please help me
