Il serait bien de rendre possible la rotation de l’interface en fonction du positionnement de l’IPhone ou de l’IPad Merci ### 5/5 — Mobile In *2023-10-19, version 2.0.4* I purchased line 6 Mobile In…ios 24pin iphone 4 and used with GarageBand migration to iphone 8 24pin to lightening adapter. Thanks for da memories. So, 2024. I used to uses this app for free…now it’s 20$? I replaced the mobil-in hardware with a donner 48v interface interface…is it worth paying the $20 for this? Over and above the GarageBand amp sims.??? Convince me :)??? ### 1/5 — Horrible waste of life *2023-10-17, version 2.0.4* No matter what I try, this app is a failure, why won’t the app ROTATE on an iPhone XR, but will rotate with just an fraction of a turn on an iPad 6??. The app has no good metal sounds with any volume, but the jam feature is awesome cause you can COULD adjust the music volume to match with guitar, COULD was the word, I had it setup to jam along with MOOER GE, but the dam app won’t rotate in screen to adjust any volumes, it’s either iPad or nothing. I’ll choose nothing. MOOER GE ALL THE WAY!!! And I own the HELIX LT! MAKE AN HELIX IOS ALREADY!! ### 1/5 — Ridiculous app *2023-09-27, version 2.0.4* Was supposed to get this app for free including iap. Line 6 making rubbish software meant I was charged in full for it, despite all instructions being followed. So watch out if you use line 6, their software is so far below par it’s crazy ### 1/5 — Not so much anymore *2022-12-02, version 2.0.4* I was enjoying my Sonic Port as a way to practice without noise. But after my last iPad update, it doesn’t work. I plugged in to my amp to be sure it was the Sonic Port. It works fine through the amp, just not my i{ad or phone. You get 2 stars because I used to like it. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2022-09-24, version 2.0.4* Do not waste your money on this. It is utter garbage. ### 1/5 — Questions before but *2022-02-23* Hello, before buying equipment I have a question. Can Users share preset? Bonjour, avant d'acheter du matériel j'ai une question. Les utilisateurs peuvent-ils partager les preset? ### 4/5 — Mais l’app refonctionne ! 🙌 *2021-08-30* L'app ne fonctionnait plus… beaucoup s’en plaignait dans le forums…j’ai donc laissé traîné au moins un an le Sonic Port dans un tiroir 🥺 Entre temps je suis passé sur Vox Amplug son correct mais bon pas beaucoup d’effets disponibles…. Je teste par hasard et surprise cela refonctionne. A priori pas de mise à jour entre temps. Un bug Apple ? C’est reparti 😀 ### 1/5 — IOS 13 Issue *2021-03-31, version 2.0.4* Sonic Port does not work now with IOS 13 update on iPhone 6S Plus or new 11 Pro Max. After three months, still does not work on new 11Pro Max with updated IOS 13. When will this be fixed? ## Frequently asked questions about Mobile POD ### What does Mobile POD do?
