Works well

Just got a new FM9 MKII and don’t want to lug a laptop around—this works in a similar way to FM9-Edit, but I can use my iPad Pro. Worth it!

Indispensable

Application vite devenue indispensable pour piloter mon AX8 depuis mon iPad.
Je mets bien sûr 5 étoiles.
Il ne manque que, quand on est dans un preset, pouvoir affecter des effets et/ou scènes aux footswitches !

Crashes every 15 seconds and when selecting many options

It's a fantastic concept and I wanted to really like it. The app crashes constantly when using the functions that do work and many don't even work. The app is just unusable on my FM3. I just got a FM9 and it's much more stable and usable IRL.

Unfortunately, no voice over support

I realize that for the programmers, it takes extra effort to make the app voiceover accessible, but, it simply means that this app isn’t accessible to me or other people with vision problems.
Thanks.

Usb trouble from iphone13

Software works as advertised. Or did work. Same phone, usb cable, and Axe-fx3. My iPhone now shows no connection to axe-fx. Frac Pad 3 shows no connection. Before I tried using Frac-pad the last time, I was able to play Apple Music from my iphone13 through the USB to the Axe3. That no longer works. Frac Pad shows the connection screen/no connection/and the spinning yellow circle.

Two other iPhones in the house can still plug into the usb cable and play music. Has Frac Pad affected a USB setting somehow? Again, this only happened after opening Frac Pad recently with my phone connected to the Axe3.

Thank you

No Use On Bluetooth

Won’t connect with MD BT 01. When it does it drops the connection. It advises you to use USB, so it’s a known problem that’s unsolved. Totally unreliable. Wasted money in getting the BT adaptor.

Rather use AxeEdit, but Fractal should hire you.

I wanted to like this, but it doesn’t work as you’d expect on some things as simple as turning knobs, and things are buggy. That said, I think Fractal should really be bringing this dude onto the team and officially supporting this.

Usable but not perfect

Although I understand a specific product like this needs to be in the higher price range to suffice the effort, there is too many issues and inconsistencies for a public release.
I‘ll be glad reviewing my verdict in future when there is improvements. Using it with FM3 & Midi Bluetooth Adapter.

iPad Pro (4th generation) with USB Type C does not work.

iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (4th generation) with USB Type C does not work. A waste of money using the lates technology. Would like my money back. Link to wiki does not work to verify product compatibility. Nothing says not compatible with USB -Type C.

It does not work properly

1. “Cab” issue. In the app I can not see the proper list of Cab options. So that I can not work with “Cab” function which is the critical feature of AX8.
If there is a solution to fix this problem, please let me know otherwise I won’t use this app and you should refund for it because it is critical issue as I mentioned above.

2. Errors occur too often. When I make change things of the effectors or something they are not applied and it is frozen sometimes so I have to reboot the AX8 at least once or more while using.

3. Knob touch issue. Horizontal controller is okay but others(vertical and circle) are frustrating.

They are found so far. I don’t know what is more...

Great app with room for improvement.

It’s really nice to control the axe fx with an iPad. It would be great if the GUI would be optimized for an iPad Pro and when will it fully support an axe fx III Mark II (presets...)?

Crashes

iPhone 11 updated to lasted update. App crashes every time I go to open it.

Fm3 not woking

Please- fm3 usb
Fm3 midiinterface not woking

Very good

The app works with ax8 perfectly

Ridiculous price- do not buy.

The editing software that comes with your unit does everything you need. Too expensive!!!
Compared to all apps on the Apple Store, this programmer is very money greedy. I use Axedit, and it is just as good.

Excellent all round

Gives you great functions and total control. Highly recommended.

Best app of 2019

One of the easiest mobile editors available that’s super easy to use, and control the AxeFX3 via Bluetooth.
Now anyone who loves simplicity of their rigs will find this as an excellent addition to their current digital rig.
Alex (Developer) is one of the best in class for support, and development. Hands down best app of 2019 as mentioned in the title of the review.

The way to cut the cord and go iOS with Bluetooth

If you’d like to be able to stay at the mic and not disappear into a corner to fire up a full laptop to tweak your Axe Fx, this is a handy way to do it. Coupled with a Yamaha midi Bluetooth dongle for the Axe Fx, for about a 100 bucks this works well. App author is very engaged and responsive through the FAS forums plus Facebook page, with new features and improvements added regularly. It can get into a tug of war with the MFC foot controller sometimes, causing some lag issues so at this point I wouldn’t leave it connected if you need seamless patch/scene switching. Really a great companion to the Axe Edit desktop software.

Fantastic Performance tool

Love using this with my axe-fx III and ax-8. So many features that really enhance performance options, especially when I don't want to lug around a foot controller for the axe-fx III. Highly recommend!
