### 1/5 — now useless

*2026-08-11, version 1.5.7*

i have a perfectly good older tablet that had 2 jobs - remote logic and mixing station. why must you write out perfectly good hardware from your software. how wasteful, polluting and just not cool. at least my third party software still works. 👎👎

### 3/5 — Please update the Logic Pro remote app.

*2026-08-11, version 1.5.5*

Doesn’t work with the new logic pro update please help I need this.

### 3/5 — 벨로시티(영역BAR) 제어 안됨

*2026-07-20, version 1.5.7*

벨로시티 제한기능 안됨 코드패드도 포함

### 1/5 — No puedo conectarme

*2026-07-17, version 1.5.7*

Es una mala práctica mí a iPad Pro aun corre muy bien no veo por qué comprar otra solo por que no puedo actualizar

### 5/5 — Cảm Ơn Logic

*2026-07-14, version 1.5.7*

Thật tôi thấy cái Ứng dụng này thật sự rất hay, điểm cộng của nó là khi thu âm chỉ 1 mình, home studio, mình có thể dụng ứng dụng này như 1 chiếc remote để thu và sửa. Khả năng siêu hữu dụng khi setup thu âm và làm hone studio 1 mình. Rất hay

### 1/5 — 😡 No longer compatible with iPadOS 18 😡

*2026-07-11, version 1.5.7*

As of 23 Feb 2026, this doesn’t work at all with iPadOS 18 and Logic 12. 

The newer version that works with Logic 12 has been restricted to iPadOS 26. 

But many of us don’t want to update to iPadOS 26, because of the loss of Split View and Slide Over.

There’s no technical reason why this app couldn’t support Logic 12.3 via iPadOS 18 - it’s just bad behaviour by Apple to force users to upgrade their OS.

Very disappointing.

### 4/5 — Update PLEASE!

*2026-07-09, version 1.5.7*

I can’t adjust any plugins or get to mixer mode on my iPhone 17 Pro Max, and can’t record any automation in real time. But all of these features are working on my 10th gen ‘24 iPad just fine. It’s still great to add into my workflow with the Key Commands and the ability to customize entire pages of commands to drastically speed up workflow. Of course, and especially with pro Apple software, the more functional external devices you have, the better your workflow will become… but connectivity is sometimes challenging. Still, it’s worth throwing into the mix with the other controllers I use. 4-Stars

### 1/5 — 😡 No longer compatible 😡

*2026-07-02, version 1.5.7*

As of 23 Feb 2026, this doesn’t work at all. It says it needs to be updated to work with the current version of Logic. 

Ruined. 😡

Update 30 May 2026: very disappointed that this hasn’t been resolved. The app is now useless - presumably to drive people to subscribe to Logic for iPad.

### 1/5 — After some update stop working because of some imagined incompatibility

*2026-06-24, version 1.5.7*

After some update stop working because of some imagined incompatibility

### 1/5 — 終わってる

*2026-06-16, version 1.5.5*

勝手にバージョン上げていって使えない端末増やして買い換えさせようとすんなよ。Logicのバージョンあげたら今のiPadで使えなくなっちまったよ。まじお前らのこう言うところが嫌いだわappleさんよ。
