### 5/5 — Works Brilliantly

*2024-09-25, version 2.0.1*

Great app. Now my Op1 has a ‘memory’. So easy to save tape tracks, switch projects and back up. Patch download also works perfectly. The only caveat is that you need a powered USB adaptor as the lightning port on an iPhone does not have enough juice to communicate with the OP1 without external power. The Mac OS app also works perfectly so easy to view and edit files on other devices.

### 1/5 — Does this work with the op1-field?

*2024-08-08, version 2.0*

No response from developer.

### 1/5 — This is only useful on an original OP-1

*2024-05-27, version 1.2.2*

It needs to be clearly stated that tape backups will not work with an OP-1 Field. This does not support MTP. Big waste of 5 bucks…

### 1/5 — loaded files do not play

*2024-02-05, version 1.2.1*

loaded two tapes, cant get either one to make any sound.  tried loading into Logic Pro directly from the device and they worked immediately.  This app is a complete waste of money.  I would like a refund.

### 3/5 — not complete for op1 field

*2024-02-05, version 1.2.1*

seems to connect but does not support mtp for the OP-1 field.

### 2/5 — Crashing

*2024-01-10, version 1.2.1*

Keeps crashing when you go to patches

### 2/5 — connect iPhone to OP1 this way instead:

*2023-09-14, version 1.2.1*

Buy a camera kit dongle for iPhone that has the extra charging port ( usbA and usbC ) 

using the Files app you can do everything this did but slower! even update. 

Now that usb audio in / out is enabled on the OP-1 please come back again. I miss this app.. it was so convenient and quick!

### 1/5 — Crashed my OP-1

*2023-06-01, version 1.2.1*

Just tried to load a previous tape track and bricked my op-1. Won’t boot into TE mode.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2023-03-29, version 1.2.1*

If you are goint to produce an app then at least make sure it works. I tried it on a Mac and an iPad with the same results, it rarely works. If this was free it would not be worth having. Refund applied for.

### 1/5 — Does not work with OP-1 field

*2022-11-18, version 1.2.1*

I also wanted this to work. But it doesn’t. Save your money. The app does not recognize the op-1 field in any way. This is with me following the instructions 100% and setting the field to disk mode. No go. Sucks. 

App dev. Get this fixed please. I’m a dev too, I’ll have to build my own app out of frustration and become competition otherwise. :), so get on it.
