### 1/5 — Non Functional

*2025-01-18, version 1.0.5*

The App does not communicate with Deep Mind on Mac OS 15. So no way to use the app which is really frustrating as I can’t download new patches.

### 2/5 — Total Nicht cool

*2024-03-17, version 1.0.5*

Schade das die entwicklung der app für mac wohl garnicht angestrebt ist?... auf dem ipad ist es sehr mühselig eine verbindung herzustellen klapt im seltensten fall über wifi einzig mit dem cck das klapt eigentlich tadellos.
jedoch schade das die app auf nem minimac m2  mal so garnicht zu gebrauchen ist was den deepmind einen erheblichen mehrwert nimmt das ganze system ist so irgendwie lieblos .
schade hoffe hier tut sich noch etwas ..

### 1/5 — Looks fantastic but actually quite useless. No AUM or Audiobus

*2024-02-17, version 1.0.5*

Shame this is a no go, it looks very impressive and judging by the lack of response to previous previews, the creator is doing nothing to correct it. So deleted it gets !

### 1/5 — Of Course It Doesn’t Work

*2023-11-18, version 1.0.5*

Typical fail by Behringer!

### 1/5 — Verbindet sich auf Monterey nicht mit DM6

*2023-07-25, version 1.0.5*

Leider ist diese App vollkommen unbrauchbar, da sie sich -- jedenfalls über USB-Midi -- nicht mit dem Synthesizer verbinden lässt. MIDI In und Out sind nicht anwählbar!

### 5/5 — Still working fine with iOS 16.3.1

*2023-03-08, version 1.0.5*

Using an iPad Pro 3rd gen 2018. Works great with iOS 16.3.1

### 5/5 — Yeah Listen To Him

*2022-08-08, version 1.0.5*

That Guy Is Right There’s Literally No Keyboard

### 5/5 — Quite Useless unless your ipad is a dinosaur

*2022-06-09, version 1.0.5*

There are many reviews here saying exactly the same thing. i.e. That this does not work on current ipads. I have a really old ipad which stopped updating at IOS 10.3.3 and it works on that, (when it feels like it), via a usb lead, but is slow and sometimes crashes.. The PC version of the app seems to work too, but again only with a direct connection via usb. Its a damn shame as it does make the creation of patches and sequencing very much easier and intuitive. The patch morpher is also unique and opens up the DM12 to new possibilities. Its extremely cynical of behringer to still be touting the IOS app as part of its advertising for the DM12 when they are failing to update this most useful of tools to work on the very ipads most people now have in their possession. 

 TLDR:- Abandoned, don't bother unless you have an old ipad. (if you have, yeah get it, and have fun.

EDIT:- Woohoo!! it has been updated.
(NOW you get your 5 stars).

Can confirm this is
Now working on IpadOS 15.5

Thank you.

### 5/5 — I checked back  and ITS UPDATED 😱

*2022-04-23, version 1.0.5*

I have downloaded the update and report back soon. It appears to mirror the desktop version!

### 5/5 — Läuft (nicht mehr) WIEDER :) mit iOS14

*2022-04-05, version 1.0.5*

Update (04.2022): mit iOS 14.8 läuft nun wieder alles. „We hear you“: also kein leeres Versprechen - auch wenn es etwas gedauert hat… 

Veraltet:
Es erscheint nur der Hinweis: „diese App muss vom Anwender aktualisiert werden!“, unter iOS startet die App nicht mehr! Schade, denn der Editor war super, inkl. dem Patch-Management. Auf die Mail an den Support zum App-Update kam bisher keine Reaktion.
