Fully customizable oversells it

It works. It’s stable (I think), but it’s very basic.

Absolutely fine if you want to send notes, but lacking for anything else.

It does have an option for Program Change, but two of the parameters are missing. It’s a 3 parameter command, so it renders it mostly useless in that regard. If you want to use this to send patch changes to your device, forget it.

It has no menu to connect via bluetooth, which it purports to support, so you have to connect using another bluetooth midi app.

The sliders are cumbersome. You have to choose one of 96 possible notes to send with a small slider - it just doesn’t work very well even on a big iPad.

There’s seemingly no way of reordering the pads.

It’s a good basic app but I imagine anyone remotely serious about MIDI control will find this doesn’t do the job. I hope these few features are added.

Manque les faders mais très bonne applis

Doesn’t Recognize Bluetooth iOS 26

I purchased this app to control my midi devices via Bluetooth. After downloading, this app won’t ask or show up to access Bluetooth. Uninstalled/Reinstalled multiple times, and still no luck. Tried installing on iPad and iPhone iOS 26 and both don’t recognize the app in privacy and security to enable Bluetooth. Waste of three bucks!

Actually I rate this app at 4.5

Like others have said this is a great little app. Work just like a host so I can trigger program changes in my Zoom pedal and Boss looper. Easy to set up, multiple actions, and very versatile. Would have given it a 5 if there was some way to type in the numbers instead of a slider. It can sometimes be problematic getting your finger in the exact right spot to work the slider. Using a stylus/dauber sometimes helps. A neat upgrade in my opinion would be the ability to input MIDI commands to change patches say with a foot pedal. Being a bass player sometimes I have both hands busy when I want to do a patch change. I would pay for that update. That’s what Michael does over at Loopy Pro. You pay for a series of updates and get to keep them even if you don’t buy the next batch.
