According to info my interface (Clarett+) is compatible. But it’s not. Confusing. ### 1/5 — App does NOT support 3rd Gen devices - despite its manual *2026-07-23* Do NOT update your focusrite desktop app if you’d like to use the focusrite iOS app with a 3rd gen device - it will not work - even though focusrite documents that it would. Don’t let them fool you, wait until they’ve fixed this. Totally unacceptable that focusrite issues faulty documentation and encourages 3rd generation owners to update. ### 1/5 — QR SCAN NEVER WORKS *2026-07-07, version 1.15.0* Tried everything on the planet and could NEVER get the app to connect for control. Ridiculous ### 1/5 — Useless *2026-06-23, version 1.15.0* For basic stereo control, it’s fine. But for multi-channel audio, (MCA) it’s useless. Problem 1: The app can’t be oriented horizontally. That’s totally unacceptable. For those of us working in MCA, we need quick visualization reference of our channels. Horizontal allows more real estate. Problem 2: The monitoring tab of the app still only gives you one knob. You get these options for control: a master knob, mute, dim, main and alt. The alt mix still only gives you a single master knob. No virtual control for each channel. Why? Seriously…why? Why engineer and manufacture an interface capable of MCA and develop such a lackluster virtual controller? How does this make any sense? When I compare this to Audient’s ORIA MCA controller app, I can’t help but wonder what went wrong. I don’t want to go to my mix tab to “control” my channels since I’m not mixing. I want to “control”. I do my mixes ITB and with real control surfaces. I use Icon’s Pro G2 and two EX G2’s. If the interface itself had output control, that would be fine. In-fact, I’d prefer that over an app. But, no such control on the unit. So, no output channel control on the unit and no output controls in the app. Why not a simple 5.1 and 7.1 template with 6 or 8 corresponding buttons? Is Focusrite telling us in 2026 that they can’t virtualize SPL’s SMC? Adding these features to the app would really give Focusrite a massive, hard to refuse edge as incentiveware over MOTU and other competitors. Especially UA. Hey Focusrite, it would be in yours and the users best interest to make this happen in a matter of a few hours or two days tops. I’m not asking for physical buttons on the interface. That requires a whole new device with R&D, schematics, new costs, etc. No! Just asking for a decent virtual controller to…you know, match what your hardware can already do! 😒So here is all that’s needed in the monitoring section: These are simple virtual buttons btw: -Mute all -dim -Mono LS/RS -Mono L/R -Stereo mix -Surround mix -L -C -R -LS -RS -LFE -giant knob Hope to see this happen. Hope to see such an awesome unit get the control it deserves. ### 4/5 — This is a 5 star app, except for… *2026-04-30, version 1.12.1* Connects every time: 5 stars (it connects thought your router/wifi and your MacOS network, if you are having trouble it’s you, not them) This app means you can get away without a separate analogue mixer, control headphone mixies, monitor direct inputs, and set mic levels from across the room (like when behind my drum set) Between this and Logic Remote, I’m living in the future) But please, and you’ve heard this is a common request, and couldn’t be that hart to add to the next update (development pipeline be dammed): Remember the last mix we had selected when we last open the app!!! Seriously 😤 Naming mixes would be nice as well ### 5/5 — Trying to find app for focusrite 3rd gen 2i2 *2026-04-30, version 1.12.1* Please help ### 1/5 — Mies *2026-03-15* Gute Hardware, katastrophaler Support. Da das Scarlett 4i4 (3rd Gen) kaum physische Knöpfe hat, ist man für Grundfunktionen (Air, Pad, Routing) komplett auf die App angewiesen. Dass Focusrite die iPad-App einfach löscht und die neue Version 2 exklusiv für die 4. Generation reserviert, ist eine bodenlose Frechheit. Wer sein Interface mobil nutzen will, steht nun vor verschlossenen Türen. Ein Gerät ohne Knöpfe zu bauen und dann den Software-Support einzustellen, ist geplante Obsoleszenz pur. ### 4/5 — Mixer scrollen funktioniert nicht richtig *2026-02-13* Mixer scrollen funktioniert nicht einwandfrei! Sonst alles super ### 5/5 — 苹果手机和福克斯特都太强了 *2025-12-30, version 1.10.4* 支持支持支持！！！搭配bandlab有奇效！！！ ### 3/5 — Will not connect to desktop app *2025-12-12, version 1.10.4* I love my scarlet solo 4th gen, but the connection process between the iPhone and the Desktop apps are nearly impossible to get working. I hope for a fix here soon! ## Frequently asked questions about Focusrite Control 2 ### What does Focusrite Control 2 do?
