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If you can get past the outdated/slightly confusing user interface then this app is great!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

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
App Sucks
Really a headache to use search filters which don’t work half the time, occasionally library will disappear entirely so make sure to like to save every single liveset you download, I get signed out completely randomly, the BTS is an eyesore and could be done much better, the premise of this app is great and so is its functionality but it SUCKS to use.

Worst app ever
Im a software engineer and this might be literally the worst app ive ever used. Barely pairs with your amp. Forces a login on EVERY download of amp preset. Unusably bad and makes the katana a worse experience than if this app didnt exist
Should not be allowed on App Store
Total piece of trash. Ask for identification every three seconds, doesn’t upload presets properly, can’t manage Bluetooth connection properly, take ages to react, lose settings and library all the time.
Awful. My first and last Boss product ever
