### 4/5 — It crashes when I try to save my layout

*2025-10-28, version 1.3.4*

You need to update this app.
It crashes when I try to save my layout.
And it doesn’t work on iPhone 16

### 1/5 — Can’t Open This App in My IPhone 15 Promax Please Update

*2025-10-16, version 1.3.4*

Can’t Open This App in My IPhone 15 Promax Please Update

### 1/5 — What is this

*2025-08-19, version 1.3.4*

Piano don’t work

### 1/5 — Crash

*2025-07-17, version 1.3.4*

The app keeps crashing every time i try to click on fl studio to continue.

### 5/5 — Ok

*2025-06-16, version 1.3.4*

Ok

### 2/5 — Bof

*2025-04-23, version 1.3.4*

Ça se voit que l’appli n’a pas été mise à jour depuis des années, vu l’interface qui n’est pas du tout adaptée aux écrans récents qu’on a l’habitude de voir depuis au moins 2017/2018… d’ailleurs elle est plutôt inutile et très limitée.

### 3/5 — Heavily outdated. Dysfunctional. Unfortunately!

*2025-04-12, version 1.3.4*

Guys, why did you abandoned this app? Last update 8 years ago thus no surprise this app became dysfunctional on newer iOS versions (e.g. iOS 17+).

Fails to connect with FL on Desktop though button is enable in FL Studio's MIDI-Settings.
Wonder why IL still keeps the "Connect to IL Remote" option within main FL App if IL Remote is totally outdated.

Nevertheless might be a nice handy way to control certain parameters in FL from within another room e.g. Rec Room while pc is located in Mixing Room.

I suspect IL abandoned the project as literally everyone can buy a cheap MIDI-Controller like a drum pad or midi piano. So it makes this app superfluous.

What a pity!

### 1/5 — 今はただのゴミ

*2025-04-05, version 1.3.4*

こんなの要らん

### 1/5 — Still having crashing issues

*2025-03-17, version 1.3.4*

Can’t change nor edit the layers. Also crashing when inputting. 8 years is more than enough for a good update.

### 3/5 — Please add support for fl studio mobile

*2025-03-01, version 1.3.4*

I have fl studio on my iPad and I would like to control it using my phone.
