### 1/5 — MAX

*2022-02-04, version 3.2.26*

Does it works with Meccano MAX? Looks like app interface doesn’t adopted to newer iOS versions

### 3/5 — I can’t connect my elector set 10

*2022-01-23, version 3.2.26*

No matter how long I leave it to connect it won’t connect.

### 1/5 — None of the actions work

*2022-01-08, version 3.2.26*

I can download the app, but it doesn’t recognize the four inputs to the mini brain, and none of the actions are active. Did everyone else give upon this app a year ago?

### 1/5 — Not working. Need it fixed ASAP

*2020-05-21, version 3.2.25*

The app used to work. It then stopped working since last update.  Just like every other user reported. It crashes when loading at 10%. It’s been months and still no fix. Same problem on both iPhone and iPad with latest IOS. Now I can’t program my MAX. What a disappointment! I wouldn’t purchase any product from this company any more.

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2020-05-11, version 3.2.25*

Kicked me out of the App after 10 percent is loaded

### 1/5 — App Craahes

*2020-05-09, version 3.2.25*

All crashes about 5 seconds after loading. I’ve rebooted the phone and made sure iOS was updated, but still crashes.

### 2/5 — I got kicked out!

*2020-05-05, version 3.2.25*
