### 3/5 — Can’t connect to amp

*2026-08-05, version 5.1.3*

The app just isn’t compatible with my amp (Fender Mustang LT25). Hoping to see an update in the future where I can connect my amp.

### 2/5 — Connection Issues	Continue

*2026-04-07, version 5.1.2*

Each time I want to connect, which is daily, I need to remove my devices from the amp and my device (I use an iPad and iPhone) and then reconnect.  Can we get this corrected??

### 4/5 — Not Available on Mac Neo

*2026-03-30, version 5.1.2*

Not really n the App Store for Mac Neo.Please fix this issue, I love the app and want to use it on my new Mac.

### 2/5 — Works sometimes

*2026-03-22, version 5.1.2*

When that app connects to the amplifier, it works great. Most of the time when I try to connect I'll have to make the Bluetooth forget the amplifier and pair them again. That does not always work. It's really a pain to get the app connected to the amplifier. It might connect flawlessly 2% of the time. You'll be trying everything you can think of to try to connect.

### 2/5 — Difficult to Connect

*2026-03-08, version 5.1.2*

The app is good but it often won’t connect to the amp, have to reboot amp numerous times. Very frustrating!

### 4/5 — Good

*2026-03-06, version 5.1.2*

I think this is a great app but the only con is that it takes sooooo long to connect to Bluetooth and although it is it still loading but otherwise good

### 4/5 — Update

*2026-01-26*

@fender A quand la mise mise à jour pour changer de cab et placement de micro ? C’est tout ce qui manque à ce mustang micro plus !!!

### 4/5 — Good, but would like to add some things

*2026-01-19, version 5.1.0*

A vibroverb amp would be very nice in this app, maybe some new pedals too. But decent overall app.

### 1/5 — App is junk

*2025-12-07, version 5.0.2*

Amp sounds great but  app hasn’t connected not even one time for me so I’m sending it back.

### 3/5 — PROBLÈME DE CONNEXION

*2025-12-03*

problème de connexion et interface moins bien que avant

### 1/5 — Bluetooth not work ins

*2025-10-26*

I received my tone master pro this week (22 octobre  2025)
I upgrade it in the last version 1.6 with my Mac .

Later I appaired the TMP with my iPad without problem but the iOS tmp software don’t fine the tmp

### 1/5 — Not easy to connect

*2025-10-13, version 5.0.1*

Either is the Mustang GTX50 or the app, but it is more than frustrating pairing both elements !

### 1/5 — What happened?

*2025-10-11, version 5.0.1*

What did you guys do?  Nothing works!!  Fix this

### 2/5 — Bring Back PC support

*2025-10-10, version 5.0.1*

Finding this app is taking a long time to scan and connect. Frequently crashing out and losing settings.

### 4/5 — Ease of use

*2025-10-07, version 5.0.1*

Little things I think needed to be added like easily being able to reshuffle presets. If there is a way i still haven’t found it. 
Also being able to access the app without connecting to device. Say for example you see a set up you’d like to follow, you can open the app and make it there and then. 
Also i think add in the instructions into the app for the mini mustang.

### 2/5 — Poor app

*2025-10-04, version 5.0.0*

This app doesn’t work half the time, very confused about how Fender is still using this

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Fender proves again, sorry, not my problem.

*2026-05-30, version 5.1.2*

This app was ok out of the gate, many moons ago. It even has updates every now and then but this app is horrible!!! If you have to open and close, then delete, enter all your info, again, and it’s still battling less than Uecker!!!

### 1/5 — Will not stay connected

*2026-05-12, version 5.1.2*

The app almost never loads  presets or connects to the amp.  Have tried every troubleshoot posted. The app just doesn’t work

### 1/5 — It just sucks

*2026-05-03, version 5.1.2*

I’m not able to connect it to my mustang GT40

### 1/5 — Will not Connect

*2026-03-28, version 5.1.2*

The app refuses to connect to the device. I can find the device on my own iPhones, Bluetooth list and connect to it no problem, but in the app, it just continues scanning endlessly and will never find it. I’ve restarted both my phone as well as the device numerous times, I’ve tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it, I’ve tried different orders in which sometimes I turn on the app first or I turn on the device first or I connect to it first. Nothing works.

### 1/5 — Slow and painful to use

*2026-03-08, version 5.1.2*

If you’re looking for a quick connection so you can tune, title gonna have a bad time. The app does not connect to the speaker, and always connects to the speaker for audio, with a heavy delay and impressions.

### 1/5 — Broke

*2026-02-19, version 5.1.1*

Doesn’t connect cycles through ever gd preset loading or working icon just goes but never connects. POs

### 1/5 — Impossible to use

*2026-02-18, version 5.1.1*

I’ve been trying to create my own tone on this app with my mustang gtx50 and it just simply cannot persist a Bluetooth connection. Once you’re connected (which is trial and error of turning the amp off/on and closing the app and reopening it) you get about 1-2 mins before the Bluetooth library this app uses just loses your phone. This is unusable and very frustrating since this is one of the big selling points for this type of amp. Also makes no sense that you cannot just plug this amp into your laptop/desktop via usb and edit presets that way. That’s only allowed for “Lt” model amps.

### 1/5 — Latest update broke Logic

*2026-01-21, version 5.1.0*

Not sure what happened. But the latest update broke the Mustang Micro Plus’ ability to natively work in Logic or any DAW I tried via USBC connection into a MacBook Pro M4. Seems like it stopped working with any drivers.

### 1/5 — メトロノームが使えない

*2026-01-10*

MUSTANG MICRO PLUSで使用しています。

Bluetooth接続でアプリやブラウザなどのメトロノームが使えません。
抜け道としてBluetoothを切った状態でスマホをusb接続すれば使用でますが、本アプリが使えなくなるのと、せっかくの無線のメリットがなくなってしまいます。

また一部のBluetooth接続のCDプレーヤーとの相性が悪く、ノイズが酷くて使い物になりません。
CDプレーヤーを使用する予定の方は、試奏で確認してからの購入をお勧めします。

### 1/5 — Non riesco a far funzionare nulla

*2025-12-11, version 5.0.2*

Tutto qui

### 5/5 — Super Good

*2026-07-27, version 5.1.3*

It was really good I can play with my tabs while hearing in my earbuds and the guitar playing and the tone is just perfect but one thing is getting a foot switch to change between tones and sigh in is a hassle but other than that it’s just perfect

### 5/5 — Love it, But has anyone got a Hindu Times Preset?

*2026-03-11, version 5.1.2*

Love this app, still pretty new to playing but it’s so easy to use. The ultimate would be to get the Hindu Times preset off someone.

### 5/5 — Updated

*2025-12-04, version 5.0.2*

Guys they fixed it. The app works again and the UI is much better !

### 5/5 — Thank you for updating!

*2025-10-05, version 5.0.0*

Now the app can finally rotate to be vertical AND horizontal! It’s got better editing and saving workflow as well. Although still a little buggy here and there, I’ll give 5/5 for appreciation of actually listening to the feedback and implementing ☺️

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-07-05, version 4.0.7*

I’m using this app with my Fender mustang micro plus, and it is one of the simplest yet powerful apps I’ve tried so far. Thanks Fender for a great gear and software.

### 5/5 — Micro+

*2025-07-04, version 4.0.7*

Please add ability to rename Micro+ Bluetooth. Jam sessions are tough when your buddy is changing your amp settings instead of his. Other than that a great and useful device.

### 5/5 — .s

*2025-06-25, version 4.0.7*

Spokojná

### 5/5 — Fero

### 5/5 — Super

*2025-06-20, version 4.0.7*

Super

### 5/5 — Cool app.  Hate the landscape orientation.

*2025-06-19, version 4.0.7*

Love the app. Totally great for all levels. Would like to choose vertical or horizontal view.
