Very useful

I control my ForScore sheet music app’s backing tracks from my watch. You do have to have the phone with you. The midi routing is done in the app on the phone. There is set up required in the ForScoe app also.

Thanks so much for your review! I appreciate it!

Next to useless.

Apart from controlling a synth installed on the iPhone, this app is pretty well worthless. Could get it to pair with my MacBook Pro. So midi was locked inside my iPhone. Get TouchOSC instead. A proper app with well written instructions unlike MidiWrist.

Response from developer

Hi Pdjones, Apple Watch devices can't be paired with MacBook Pros, that's a limitation that Apple created. Apple enforces that your iPhone is always what's talking to the Apple Watch. Your iPhone can however connect to your MacBook Pro over Network MIDI or Bluetooth MIDI. MidiWrist has detailed configuration examples in the manual on how to make the connection, including screenshots and many different scenarios: https://uwyn.com/midiwrist/docs/

Great Concept and Excellent Execution

If you are a dedicated iOS musician, and happen to own an Apple Watch, you must purchase this immediately! I found a bunch of uses for it and the developer keeps adding new features. He’s also been very helpful and this is an example of a situation where you will be very glad you spent what isn’t even that much money.
