User reviews

Absolutely do not buy this product! It is abandonware

Metagrid has had issues for years, but in its current state, it is unusable for me. It stopped working on my system about two months ago and I have contacted developers several times via email and on their website forum, and havenโ€™t heard anything from them in months.

I love this app

I combine the ability of this app with Keyboard Maestro it works very well. ๐Ÿฅณ
Iโ€™d like to supporting this app. ๐Ÿ“
Just keep in your mind to backup your workflow each month.

Versatile

Flexible, versatile grid for key commands and macros. Deep selection of icons. Grid size can be customized. Macros editing is easy. Toggles automatically between apps. Sleek, minimal aesthetic.

Using it successfully with UA Luna and Ableton Live.

Better alternative to Stream Deck for iOS.

Not works with Cubase 11

Only works on cubase 10, many buttons are different from 11.
Please update quickly.

Nice up, non existent support

I am generously giving 4 stars because I respect the good work that went into this app. It is a good one and it works most of the time ok. But if you have any issue, don't expect any help. The developer is a mysterious ghost that has an email address on the website so he can ignore any message he receives. I hope he realises that an email address is for communicating with customers.
