poor app that lets down the controller massively

I was going to buy a Huion drawing screen 19 pro but my first experience with their software made me change my mind. Not updating an app is one thing but (not) maintaining an app in beta mode is cynical and careless. Huion ship this device with all of their latest drawing screens so it is clearly not a legacy product.

Doesn’t allow ALT key

Please add ALT key, I will change my review to positive one if you do

Bad software

Doesnt work. Dont bother.

Save Yourself, Don’t Buy It

I’ve tried getting my keydail to work in my process for months but it’s just a bad product with bad software.

Finally found a fix for this miserable app

I was having an issue for this app on iPad where it wouldn’t allow me to set a keyboard shortcut. It would let me rename, but not change the actual shortcut or bring up my keyboard (in app but also will ignore my connected keyboard). When this happens, the options for the apps in the menu are also missing. I found that if you resize the app window (grab the bottom right corner and shrink it so it’s small and vertical, like an iPhone screen), all the apps will show in the menu and you’ll be able to set shortcuts again.

Straight up doesn’t work

It just won’t connect. I got it to connect once and it still didn’t work, it just kept insisting i rename shortcuts? Honestly i’m not surprised, the keydial doesn’t work with macbooks or pcs either, tried it all. Just get a mini keyboard kids and save yourself the headache

Unfortunately, it doesn’t work

I added the device and I don’t have an option to be able to add any keys. I don’t know why it seems like the app is very buggy unfortunately.

Please re-pair bluetooth

As of recently the app hasn’t let me rebind any keys. Online it’s saying to update the firmware but I’m on the latest one. It’s such a shame since I really liked this…

Add support for other apps

Can you add support for UNIFORM app for 3D modeling, now I can’t link the keys to the app

Trouble at first —- but then fantastic

It’s originally a pain to get firmware to load and get the keypad into install mode with a computer. Once the software and everything is updated including firmware you can map out and program everything the iOS app works without hitch on my iPad Pro to modify or tweak key mappings for my project use case of the day for the price point of the key dial—— you can not come close to another macro keypad on market that is changeable through iOS iPadOS as well.

PLEASE ADD MORE PRESETS AND CONFIGURATIONS FOR APPS!!!!

Works great now!

I know this keydial had some issues on iPad at first, but it seems after a couple firmware updates it has been greatly improved! It is amazing being able to set hotkeys for all of my favorite drawing and painting apps! I am especially happy that the app provides support for Art Studio Pro. Great work Huion team! I really hope more people can try out this device.

It works just fine.

I don’t understand the negative reviews. It works for me without any issues. Not only that, but I’ve tested it on my Android device, as well as my PC. And, yes, it’s very handy.

Doesn’t work

Stuck on the original bindings only, asks to repair each time you open the app.

Still Not Saving Key Bindings

Firmware update, had to repair, still not saving a basic Home key assignment.

Really truly DOES NOT WORK

Don’t know how the more recent viewer got it to work because I didn’t believe it at first. I had the same problems listed: The key bindings don’t save. You go to set the first one say it’s preset to K and you try to change it to Z and hit finish and go back to look at it and it still says K along with pairing and unpairing. The app is junk really unless you connect the key dial wired to a PC and update firmwear apparently. I think most people in the reviews skipped this step. Please remember to do the firmwear. The app is still questionable but if all goes smoothly I’ll update.
Update: nope, the app (on iOS) is completely usless. If you’re using a key dial you better plug it into a PC or laptop that’s connected to your drawing tablet and use it that way. I’ve given up on this app entirely as everyone should.

Works Fine

The other reviews must’ve been from a previous version. It works like a charm. I can map all my favorite shortcuts and it doesn’t ask me to keep updating.

The reason why my review ain’t a 5/5 though is the Keydial Mini has a button in the center of the dial you can press to cycle through Brush Size, Scrolling Up or Down, and Zooming In or Out and it works great on PC but I can’t seem to do that on here. You can change what the scroll wheel does but I was hoping I could use said button to cycle between those 3 but now it’s just an extra button.

Doesn't Work 2 Electric Boogaloo

Other reviewer had it right. I updated the firmware via Mac, still bombards me with engrish riddled firmware notifications, constantly tells me to forget and re-pair the device, and yes the buttons don't reassign.

Waste of $50, filling out the return form now.

Doesn’t Work

Plain and simple; Doesn’t Work.
App will ask you to Forget the bluetooth device and re-pair it, every time the app is opened.
Buttons do not reassign, and are stuck on their default assignment.
App will constantly tell you to update the firmware of the keydial via a PC, even if your device is fully updated.
