Downsides -No IPhone connectivity, IOS Tablet required -IOS Locked -Limited in app Organization -No Input/Export of files ### 4/5 — Le faltan funciones pero sirve *2026-01-12, version 2.2.5* Esta bastante biem lograda. Aunque le faltaria equalizacion multibanda por canal lo que la aria mas versatil y la acercaria a las mixers de gama media alta. Ojala hagan una actualizacion con esa mejora. ### 3/5 — nice features, but… *2026-01-04, version 2.2.5* i am really shocked that the monitor settings in fader scenes are not saved and have to be reset every time. very annoying, time consuming and inefficient and should be fixed asap imho. ### 2/5 — No gain / compressor control *2025-12-04, version 2.2.5* Every time someone moves the physical knobs I lose my mix setup as I cannot save / recall them in the app - they are not included… How can that be? Please add per channel gain and compression in the app, it’s absolutely critical! Another thing that really bothers me is the inability to join 2 channels into 1 stereo. And no I cannot simply use the 2 dedicated stereo channels cause 1) they lack gain and compression and 2) I have more stereo instruments. Please add the possibility to create 1 channel out of 2 mono ones so that I don’t have to move every parameter twice including faders, eq, pan, effects… Also add iPhone support pleeeeeease. The lack of backup if my iPad fails me is fatal. I have already suffered through many rehearsals where my iPad died on me or was sitting comfortably at home and I didn’t have access to the mixer. Not to mention when this happens live… Other than these 3 it’s a fantastic product and I will give it 5 stars and recommend to everyone if these 3 things are fixed. Without it I recommend people to go for Behringer instead unfortunately as these are simply dealbreakers. I am already considering selling it and buying a Behringer myself. ### 2/5 — Completely slacking! *2025-02-08* I don’t completely understand why they manufacture who created a device with this type of technology. Inside of it doesn’t consistently support the software?! In my opinion, which likely doesn’t mean anything to anyone, if I was a multimillion dollar corporation and had millions of people potentially purchasing my device or whatever I would support it and read their reviews and be one to one. That’s just good business. Hopefully someday zoom will knock the bugs. Out out of this mixer, so we can function the way it certainly has the potential to. ### 3/5 — Need more control to be called “Control” *2025-01-20* Basic functionality is fine but it’s missing so much: • A paste function to duplicated settings from channel to channel • Gain and compression controls in app • iPhone version for quick changes and transport controls quick at hand • More track colors or a rgb selector • Ability to pair stereo tracks • Ability to label tracks with names I’m sure there is more. As said, it’s basic functionality is fine, it’s quick to acquire via bluetooth, no connections issues or drop outs so far, graphics are crisp and clean. etc. Please consider updating more. Since this is the only way to use the full function of this unit, seems like the whole app was an afterthought. I owned the L-20 and L-12, the unit is sound and works great, proven, but the rack version is lacking in more ways that just to get it into a rack. ### 4/5 — Works well, could be better *2024-11-21* This iPad controller works well for controlling the L-20. Improvements could be made in the touch sensitivity of the virtual sliders and rotating knobs. It is difficult to control as the sliders jump around under the finger. Since they are below the finger it is difficult to see where they are set exactly. It would be much better if the controls were not so sensitive. In addition, it would be nice to have the ability to double click on the value fields and then enter a number directly. Another nice addition would be to have an iPhone or Android compatible version which would be for users of the monitoring channels. For example, just a simple app for controlling the mix levels going to the Monitor outs. This would allow each band member to control what they are hearing without the complication of having all the other features of the board. Just not sure if the bluetooth connection itself would support this. ### 3/5 — Muy limitada. *2024-08-29, version 2.2.4* En líneas generales suena bien. Lo malo que no trae gate ni compresores y el EQ es muy básico, solo tres bandas. ### 2/5 — Works well, but would be much better on an iPhone *2024-08-22* I’ve been using this regularly for several months now. As a device, I like it. However as an app, it is severely limited as an iPad only app. I don’t use iPads on stage and I despise the fact that I have to bring along an iPad for gigs. The big Yamaha boards have been iPhone compatible for years and is a great way to control a personal mix. If I could use the tiny supercomputer in my pocket to control this thing instead of a larger iPad I’d easily give the app 4 stars. Give me more better reverb options on the FX channel and I might even make it 5 stars. ### 2/5 — Great potential, but lots of issues in practice *2024-04-30, version 2.2.4* I use my ipad live for set list and L-20r control. When i switch to my set list, i have to reconnect L20r when i go back. Also my bandmates lose their connection when I switch as well. ### 3/5 — Molto migliorabile *2024-04-20, version 2.2.4* L’applicazione è molto migliorabile, manca soprattutto una cosa fondamentale che è il link tra due canali quando si usano in stereo, sarebbe comodo muovere i controlli di un canale in automatico si dovrebbero muovere anche quelli dell’altro canale! Poi la regolazione del volume e comunque anche di altre impostazioni ė troppo sensibile quindi se si vuole spostare di poco il valore si fa molta fatica. Infine manca la possibilità di avere l’applicazione su iPhone in modo che i singoli componenti della band potrebbero per esempio regolarsi autonomamente i rispettivi monitor. Spero che soprattutto il link tra due canali venga aggiunto presto! ### 4/5 — Please make this app available for iPhone as well *2024-03-26, version 2.2.4* Works just like expected with my Zoom L-20. I just wish the app was also available on the iPhone and not only on iPad. ### 2/5 — Unresponsive features *2024-02-12, version 2.2.4* Not all of the respond when tapped. I can change channel colours but I can’t change the text or select record. Nothing happens when I tap the labels. ### 2/5 — It’s ok but could easily be way better *2024-02-01* There is absolutely no reason why this shouldn’t be compatible with an iPhone. Every competitor is and you already have the infrastructure from an iPad app. The biggest issue with this is the need for an ipad. Of the 5 members of my band, we only have one iPad which means we take turns dialing it in instead of everyone at once. If the iPad breaks or dies, we are screwed. Would probably be 4 stars with an iPhone/Android app. ### 3/5 — Complicato da gestire *2023-10-11, version 2.2.4* La app non permette di inserire i parametri delle varie funzioni tramite tastierino alfanumerico del tablet. Ciò rende meno accurato il set taglio dei vari parametri. ### 2/5 — No longer works *2023-10-06, version 2.2.4* I used it for two years but it asked to update the software, which is no longer compatible with my iPad. Why not allow loyal customers to use the L-20 WITHOUT having to buy a new iPad? Just allow us to download the old software. This is Not Fun. ### 3/5 — フェーダーモード *2023-09-17, version 2.2.4* iPad側でマスターからA〜Fに変更しても、L-20側のボタンやフェーダーレベルが反応しない。実際にはちゃんと切り替わっているのだけれど、見た目は変わらないのがとても不便。 ### 2/5 — Would be nice if it wasn’t so laggy *2023-07-19* Also would be nice if my band mates could minimize the app to look at their music sheets and come back to this app and not be disconnected. ### 4/5 — Scrivere il nome del progetto su file *2023-06-14, version 2.2.4* Sarebbe bello poter scrivere il nome del file registrato almeno da controller iPad ### 3/5 — Would be great if you could control gain, compression, and monitor eq straight from the app *2023-05-31* Tittle says it all add those updates and I’ll upgrade my review ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Disconnect and hang *2025-09-10, version 2.2.5* I have ipad !12 pro latest and running this app with l20 mixer and even at 10 feet it disconnects. Also it hangs a lot in between. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work right on newer iPad Pro models *2025-07-19* To be fair, I used to love this app and mixer. Upgraded to a new 13” iPad Pro and the app is all screwed up as if I’m using an iPad mini. Reached out to support and they responded saying this would need an app update that might or might not happen. I have the L20 for the band and the L20-R for the studio. Going to sell them off and switch to the Behringer X18 I guess. ### 1/5 — 이퀄라이저 기능이 안됨 *2025-03-27, version 2.2.5* 잘 사용하고 있었는데 어느순간부터 이퀄라이저와 이펙터 기능을 사용할 수 없네요. 이큐나 이펙터 컨트롤이 안됩니다. 원인이 무엇이고, 해결방법은 뭔가요? 앱 업데이트, ios 업데이트, 앱 재설치 등등 해볼수 있는것은 다 해본 것 같아요. 매주 사용해야 하는데 너무 불편하네요. ### 1/5 — Hub Mode does not work *2023-09-01, version 2.2.4* We can’t connect more than 1 iPad on L20R. Following all the steps from the App users manual, it doesn’t work as expected. And we NEED more compatible devices, iPhone would be great, or even a PC version via USB or Bluetooth. Ps: the L20R firmware is up to date. ### 1/5 — Zoom L20 *2023-08-13* Need to be able to save file. ### 1/5 — Поддержки нет *2023-06-13, version 2.2.4* Приложение обновляется раз в два года, поддерживается не последняя версия iOS. Если айпад обновится управлять микшером будет невозможно. По функционалу. Гейтов нет нигде, ни на входах, ни на ауксах, ни на мастере. Компрессор только физической однобендовой крутилкой на самом пульте и только на входах — в целом бесполезен, лучше бы можно было назначить на них гейты. Толку было бы больше. Эквалайзера на ауксах нет, сильно не хватает. В сравнении с конкурентами функционал допотопный. На письма ни сам зум, ни дистрибьютор не отвечают. Типа, ешьте, что дают. ### 1/5 — No ability to control compression in the app. *2023-05-25, version 2.2.4* The L20R has only one knob for compression for each channel. The L20R being a digital mixer, it’s reasonable to assume you’d be able to control compression more precisely in the app, the fact you can’t has me searching for other products and praying for an app update. ### 1/5 — iPad mini4が急に繋がらなくなって困ってます *2022-12-27, version 2.2.4* 数日前から急に繋がらなくなりました。 iPad Air第４世代では繋がります。 ライブバーとして使っているので支障が出てるので早急に対応してください。 ### 1/5 — App crashing under iOS 16/16.1 *2022-11-02* Things have been great * * * * * this past year but now, after iOS 16 upgrade on my iPad Pro, this app crashes multiple times mid-session. It’s making my L-20R unusable. Please fix this Zoom so I can get back to work! ### 1/5 — Falhas e leis do APP *2022-08-24, version 2.2.2* O Aplicativo apresentou falhas na comunicação. De vez em quando trava e isso atrapalha no manuseio, além de não tem uma conexão de longa distância qua impossibilita o operador de som ficar alguns metros do dispositivo ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Einfach großartig! *2025-11-13, version 2.2.5* Mittlerweile sind wir unter iOS 26 und die App funktioniert einfach super zuverlässig und tadellos. Der einzige Parameter, den man nicht vom iPad aus steuern kann, ist der Gain-Regler. Das muss man dann halt Initial am Pult einmal einpegeln, aber dann hat man alles in der Hand. Man kann sich komplette Szenen speichern, falls man mehrere Bands am Abend mischen muss (was ja auch alles am Pult direkt geht. Schön ist auch die Möglichkeit, jeden Kanal einzeln zu benennen und auch mit einer Farbe zu versehen, so dass ich auf einen Blick alle Gesangskanäle erkenne. Ich mische regelmäßig mit diesem Pult, sowohl Live-Mixes als auch Aufnahmen und bin superglücklich, sowohl über das Pult als auch die dazugehörige App, einfach ein Power-Duo 🎉 ### 5/5 — Muy bueno *2024-04-23, version 2.2.4* Solo le falta distancia que fue más el alcance sería genial ### 5/5 — Great start! We need compression, gate & limiters *2023-12-15* Lao another thing would make this worth buying Bluetooth receiver is the ability to export, audio files, MP3 airwaves, and send Stem files of all the tracks. That could put this device on top of the competition. ### 5/5 — I’m happy with it *2022-07-24* In July 2022 I’m having no trouble controlling my L20 with this app. Obviously, it is wonderful to be able to check the mix from the audience position. It’s been a while since the app has been updated, so I’m hoping that, in addition to an iPhone version, there are some other features on the way. I would especially like some kind of RTA functionality with an EQ with many more bands than are currently available, so that I can “ring out” mics/monitors before a show, or better yet build in some tweakable feedback removal. This is a hardware/software system with absolutely massive potential. I have recommended and demonstrated it to many friends and I hope that Zoom continue to develop it for many years! ### 5/5 — Nice console *2022-03-19* Manual explains how to setup ### 5/5 — Sehr gute App *2021-09-21, version 2.2.2* Die App funktioniert unter iPadOS 14 sehr gut auf einem iPad 11 Pro (2018) (Stand 21.09.2021) Ob sie auch unter iPadOS 15 funktioniert, habe ich noch nicht getestet. ### 5/5 — L20 and ipad 6gen *2021-03-16, version 2.2.2* Perfect, and hope to have EQ on the aux out, thanks ### 5/5 — Great control app *2020-11-15, version 2.1.9* The L-20 is an incredible piece of equipment, and this app works brilliantly on an iPad. ### 5/5 — Works great with L-20r *2019-11-20* I have this L-20 Control app running on 5 IPads with my Livetrack L-20r. One iPad for front of house and the other 4 for personal monitor mixes. App has worked great with no issues and very easy to use . Very satisfied with this set up so far. ### 5/5 — 対応ありがとうございました *2019-11-12, version 2.1.3* 不具合を報告させていただきましたが、迅速に丁寧に対応&修正してくださりありがとうございました！ ある程度動作確認をしましたが今のところ問題なく本来の使い方ができるようです。 ちょうど今週末に大事なイベントPAの仕事があるので本当に助かりました。 アプリ自体も非常に使いやすいと感じます。お勧めです！ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
