No help or manual. How are you expected to use this window dressing?

No documentation or help

I want to like this but pressing on the Help button brings up a blank window with no help. And it isn't obvious how to use the app or what its capabilities are.

Oh dear.

This app has a mix of pages in styles that clash visibly. It offers no practical help on how to set up. It is possible, I found, to stumble onto a page that looks like it is sending midi notes - but offers no clue as to where they are being sent. There was no visible button or control to get off the page - but I managed to - by a process of randomly stabbing the screen. Somewhere in there I found a link to a manual page which was going to help me get set up. But when I got there the page was blank. Eventually I did find a setup screen so I tried to pair it with my MacBook - sadly the developers don't seem to have heard of Bonjour (Apple's service for seamlessly hooking up devices) instead they wanted me to enter my computer's IP address manually. Okay I thought I'll give that a go - amazingly when the keyboard popped up to enter the address on my iPhone 6 Plus - the field I was editing disappeared beneath the keyboard. Another app deleted in under a minute.

No Help Documentation / Tough to Get Started

Perhaps this is a good tool for folks who know midi really well, but I was just trying to find a way to use my iPad to input notes into Finale. When I tried to create the connection and clicked on Help, there was no documentation, and the connection screen also provided no guidance. The marketing icon for this product shows a keyboard, but it is not in this app (or at least, not easily found). I am unloading this and trying another application.
