### 5/5 — Works great

*2022-05-25*

Thank you for the nice gui.
Great color scheme as well
How to setup the exp pedal?

### 5/5 — Works beautifully…

*2022-03-27, version 1.0.2*

..if not a little limited. I’d like a smoother way to share files and move patches around by dragging and dropping. But no idea why people seem to have issues otherwise. Runs without crashing through a 6 hour rehearsal day no sweat.

### 5/5 — iOS 14 Crash

*2020-11-06*

Doesn’t work with iOS 14 and H&K denies an app issue. Still useless and wasted time. If this is a feature you want, it’s a dead end. Buyer beware
Update: Connection issue resolved

### 1/5 — Come on guys

*2020-10-09*

This is the same review I posted for the WM1 App - The entire world has known iOS 14 has been coming for months, where is the update?  Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Companion Connection App Not Working in IOS14

*2020-10-05*

The wifi device and this app are useless until this is fixed.  I emailed H&K support but got no response.

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2018-10-15, version 1.0.2*

I’ve had this on an iPad 4 and now a brand new 2018 iPad.  It frequently crashes and totally freezes up, on some occasions seemingly only fixed by completely reinstalling.  

As what is really an essential component of a £1k plus amp, its not acceptable.

### 3/5 — Works but is a bit buggy

*2018-04-23*

It’s a real pain having to use two apps to control the amp: one to connect and the other for the amp. Has difficulty connecting to the amp.

### 5/5 — Awesome capabilities!

*2017-04-20*

Set this up today, super easy to set up and use. Makes changing your settings on the amp so easy. Anything you do on the app immediately changes on the amp and can be saved for instant recall via the app or the foot switch. Every amp should be like this, great job H&K!
