### 4/5 — Good value

*2026-07-15*

For the money it does what it’s meant to.

Some nice add-on feature requests would be:

- The midi values for CC and PC range from 1-128 which means I need to remember to add 1 to the value if I’m sending midi data to  a device that expects to see 0-127.  An option to start the midi values to 0 or 1 would be a nice touch. 

- Copy and paste pads including names and midi commands. 

- Being able to type in numbers for values in addition to sliders.

The Bluetooth midi works as intended.  I use it to control patch changes on a guitar via CME Bluetooth device. 

So it’s reliable and works every time.  A few additional features would be a nice touch.

### 5/5 — Free and simple but…

*2026-07-12*

Love the simplicity of this. Seems like it is what it is at this point, but should there ever be an update, the ability to move pads around in edit mode would be great. When using as a patch changer it would be nice to be able to adjust positions.

### 2/5 — Fully customizable oversells it

*2026-04-14*

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.

### 5/5 — Pas de fadeurs

*2026-04-10*

Manque les faders mais très bonne applis

### 1/5 — Doesn’t Recognize Bluetooth iOS 26

*2026-04-07*

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!

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-04-03*

Good good

### 5/5 — Actually I rate this app at 4.5

*2026-02-24*

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.

### 3/5 — Basic but flawed

*2025-12-03*

Does what it says in the description but nothing more. As others have noted, you can’t reorder the buttons. The value selection UI is fiddly, trying to pick from 1-128 on a fairly narrow slider. WORST though is that changing the layout ie adding or removing rows or columns does not shuffle existing buttons around. If you reduce visible columns, the buttons in the rightmost column(s) are simply deleted as far as I can tell.  Increasing the column count again just adds back a column of empty buttons.

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2025-12-02, version 2.0.3*

Looking forward to the following features:
- cloud sync
- configurable slide controls (0-127 or 1-128)
- volume knobs in addition to tiles

### 3/5 — Almost good

*2025-11-29*

It’s good because it’s very quick and intuitive to use but has 2 much needed mods; ability to swap the pads (as set lists change!) and being able to select ranges of PC codes between 1-128 Or 0-127. With those mods it would be a 5 star!
