### 3/5 — Not proving useful for Finale

*2021-12-10, version 5.3.1*

The app is paired properly from iPhone and iPad, but does not assign note values in Simple Entry. Arrow keys work, Enter works, and I can use the numeric keys for Calculator and text entry. Have written customer support at dev website, but received no response.

### 5/5 — Works well but not since upgrade to iOS 14

*2020-09-29, version 5.3.1*

Was working well, but once I upgraded to iOS 14, it stopped finding and connecting to my computer.  If/when it can connect again to my computer, I would give this app five stars.

Update: I got it to work after disabling and then reenabling remote management on my MacBook. Developer was responsive to my request for help. So I just upgraded my review from 4 to 5 stars.

**Developer response:** Hi! Please make sure that NumPad is allowed to access your local network (Settings.app / Privacy / Local Network). More details here: https://help.edovia.com/hc/en-us/articles/360054155014

### 5/5 — Great app, great customer support.

*2019-11-10, version 5.3.1*

Ok, connection problems?
No worries, their friendly customer support is there for you. 
I submitted my problems to Edovia customer support and got a quick and friendly response.  They were able to guide me step by step until I was able to connect and use my NumPad app. 

Not to mention the app is sharp and stylish with their cool space gray, gold and silver color. The NumPad is great when using a laptop. Considering that most laptops don’t have a side numeric pad. 

Again, customer support is also important. I will give them a 5 star rating for the great customer support they provided and of course the app is a time saver and helps if you’re a number person.

**Developer response:** Hi! Sorry to hear you're running into issues with NumPad. You need to use a Mac username and password in order to connect to your Mac. This is mentioned in the initial configuration article (https://help.edovia.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000447068). If you need further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us. Have a nice day!

### 3/5 — Connection trouble

*2019-10-20, version 5.3.1*

I've had this for a year and used it frequently with Mac computer. I got a new MacBook Pro and the app won't connect at all with it. Help me please

**Developer response:** Can you reproduce the issue and send us a diagnostics report in order to have more details?

From NumPad: Go to the App Settings (gear icon) > Get In Touch > Type > Support Request.

Thanks!

### 1/5 — Really Disappointed

*2019-05-11, version 5.3.1*

First off. Doesnt connect. Second, Wifi??? wont connect via cord or BT? seriously? I have been working on this for more than an hour and no progress at all. Followed the instructions provided, nada! Please refund my 3.99 back.

### 3/5 — Won’t connect!!

*2019-02-26, version 5.3.1*

I have trouble with the password. It won’t connect without a password (aggh). Which one do I use? The computer one, Sibelius one or something else?

**Developer response:** Hi! You need to use the password you've set when you configured the VNC server (PC) or your Mac username and password (Mac). You'll find instructions here: https://r.edovia.com/nptpgs

### 4/5 — Great App, Only Two Complaints

*2019-02-05, version 5.3.1*

This does exactly what it advertises and is pretty straightforward to set up. My only complaints are that I wish the keys would change color when pressed (they do, but only just barely) and that there was a way to type a comma. There's a key with what appears to be a semicolon, but it actually types a period. If it's supposed to type either a period or comma, I can't figure out how.

### 5/5 — paid and never work

*2019-01-17, version 5.3.1*

apple should take this app off

### 5/5 — Don’t even want a regular keypad now

*2018-09-17, version 5.2.2*

I wasn’t about to pay $4 for a wireless keypad app, I’d sooner spend $50 on a real one. But as soon as I saw it’s adaptive for Sibelius I bought it without hesitation. I’m happy to say that it works, although it was a little tricky to hook up to my MacBook.

But the fact that I can look at my phone to see the notes instead of having to look at the computer screen and hit the corresponding key is wonderful. I no longer have to have that ugly keypad on my screen.

I haven’t tested the app without Wi-Fi, and I’m not sure if it’ll work without Wi-Fi. It’d be a shame because Sibelius is an offline app, and this app should be able to work with Bluetooth to give the same result.

### 1/5 — Waste and does not connect

*2018-08-04, version 5.2.2*

I bought this app looking to make it easier to connect my phone to my Mac, download, paid $4 for it, and it never connects

Total waste I need my money refund, and will not be recommending others to get it. 

I tried downloaded the app on 3 on my devices and non connected to the Mac, 
Had to buy another app which connected in a second.

**Developer response:** Hi! Sorry to hear you had issues with NumPad. Make sure to configure your Mac via these instructions: http://r.edovia.com/numpad-mac. You can also contact us via the NumPad app settings > Get in touch if you need assistance!
