### 3/5 — Great idea….

*2025-10-24*

…..but lacks the follow though. Seriously low options of pedals. They don’t even have Ibanez! If the just added a few things it’d really make the payment worth it.

### 3/5 — Could be BETTER

*2025-08-11*

App is decent. Good for basic ideas or an overall sense of sizes. But regarding in depth pedal layouts and organization, all doesn’t quite have the features available to do so. Hopefully improvements are made and better features become available.

### 3/5 — Missing Pedaltrain Models

*2025-06-28, version 1.94*

My current pedalboard, the Pedaltrain Classic Pro, unfortunately is not one of the included Pedaltrain models

### 2/5 — Meh at best

*2025-06-27*

I’m not real impressed with this app. It’s functional enough for $3 I guess. The available pedal catalog is like the pedal humblebrag subreddit with a laughably small selection. It seems like the app is only half completed and the devs are crowd sourcing to finish it at which time they’ll likely relaunch under a different name at a much higher price. Besides, if I have to do that much work to use the app then I might as well use a notebook.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2025-02-20*

I’ve been using the website forever. And have had great success (except I can’t have custom pedal pics). So I downloaded the app and even paid the $3. Imagine my disappointment when I find that there aren’t very many pedals and when I add custom pedals, the dimensions are WAY off compared to the other pedals. Waste of time and money.

### 2/5 — Limited selection and glitchy app

*2025-01-03*

App is very glitchy and doesn’t properly let you type in the numbers for the pedalboard size. It also has a very limited selection of pedals available to choose from. For a paid app it should be more built out.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2024-01-30*

Paid for the ability to be able to do custom dimensions and I can’t even input my numbers lol Everytime I try and backspace the first digit, it won’t let me. Sigh, back to OG pedalboard planner I guess. And I really don’t like that one either

### 1/5 — Failed App

*2024-01-17*

The app does not save your boards after you set them up.  

Many pedals are not listed and have to be added as custom, and I am not referring to boutique pedals.

The app needs updating and bug fixes.

### 1/5 — カスタムボード、カスタムペダルの登録時の不具合

*2023-11-27, version 1.94*

カスタムボードやカスタムペダルの登録の際のサイズ指定（センチ、インチ入力）がうまくできない。入力しようとしても、デフォルトで入っている数字が1桁残り消せない。つまり任意のサイズの入力ができない。ついこの前まで使えてたのに。早急に改善をお願いします！

### 2/5 — Useless

*2023-11-19, version 1.94*

So many pedals are the wrong sizes and so this app fails at it’s reason for existing.

### 1/5 — Cant purchase.

*2023-08-23, version 1.94*

Can you please fix this problem? So then  i will rate 5 star.

### 2/5 — NEEDS MORE PEDALS!!!

*2023-06-17*

I hoped to replace PedalPlayground with this app because it’s been so buggy and locking up on my phone, plus every time I refresh because it locks up, I keep getting Temu ads. 🙄 But this app didn’t have SO many of the popular brands that so many people use. When I tried to use “custom” to upload a pic of my Morningstar ML5, the stock block size was accurate until I uploaded a pic. My ML5 is 6.5” wide, almost the same width as my BigSky at 6.75”. The superimposed pic made the ML5 look about 2” narrower than the BigSky. When I tried to augment to dimensions, they don’t change the pic size, but if you use the blank opaque box provided, the dimensions are proper. I wanted to like this app and paid the one time fee to buy it. But now, I guess I’m going back to a buggy PedalPlayground. Disappointing.

### 1/5 — Only lets you add a few pedals

*2023-04-08, version 1.94*

Then asks for money. Avoid.

### 3/5 — Needs More Attention

*2023-03-02*

I wanted to love this app, because Pedalboard Planner from Pedaltrain is specific to their boards. But while this app has a good foundation, the database of manufacturers — both pedals and boards — needs a lot of updating. You can add a custom board, but it somehow doesn’t work that well. Plus, it doesn’t cover Voodoo Labs, Walrus Audio, or any number of other prominent and popular manufacturers. The lost is far from exhaustive or even current. It feels like a project that was off to a good start but they lost interest (or financing) in keeping it current. I hope they find the time and financial backing to keep it updated and complete. It has the potential to be great.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Don’t buy

*2026-04-13, version 1.94*

Difficult to use. Pedals do not scale. Custom adds need to be in mm.

### 1/5 — Great Idea and Layout but….

*2026-03-12, version 1.94*

The app is easy to use but is very out of date. Really regret going with the paid version.

### 1/5 — I wish I never found this app

*2025-10-17*

I hate apps that have you buy something and hen it doesn’t work.  As soon as you try to load a custom pedal it crashes.  Tried everything.  Restart and tried a photo and a file.  I would like the app developer to fix this and then I can change my review.  I will cancel in one week.

### 1/5 — Very few pedals

*2025-10-05*

There is a small and outdated list of pedals. To create a custom pedal, the size parameters are useless since you can’t backspace all the way to enter the numbers without the first original digit remaining. Pretty much useless for me. I wish I could get a refund.

### 1/5 — 하 내돈

*2025-08-05*

ts라인이 없는게 말이되냐

### 1/5 — Not updated

*2025-05-16, version 1.94*

If you have to use this app only go for the free version. App is not maintained so you will have to create a lot of newer pedals.

### 1/5 — ゴミです

*2025-02-07, version 1.94*

課金したのにパラメーターがバグって数値が上手く入力出来ません。ペダルの配置もままならないので、払い損でした。

### 1/5 — Don’t pay for upgrade.

*2024-12-05, version 1.94*

I really have no clue how this app got a good rating.

### 1/5 — Very few pedals- useless

*2024-04-23, version 1.94*

It has almost no pedals to choose from. No Wah pedals at all. Useless.

### 1/5 — needs updating

*2024-01-30, version 1.94*

considering this app literally only listed one pedal i use (EHX S9) i’m giving it one star for that.  there were many other common pedals but did not list:
-morley bad horsie (or ANY morleys?)
-boss rc-600
-TCE flyrig 
-flamma mod

it also did not list pedalboards:
-nux bumblebee
-stompblox modular

this would probably be a cool app for most players.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — The best I’ve used

*2023-07-01, version 1.94*

I’ve played with a lot of the types of apps and websites. This one is the best so far. It has really good support for adding custom boards and pedals.

### 5/5 — Great! Does as advertised…NOT a sound processor!

*2021-10-26*

Wow, that 1-star reviewer is really an idiot. This app is simply a database of different pedalboard options and pedals so that you can plan the placement of your rig. That’s all. And it does it really well. I found this while looking for Pedaltrain’s pedalboard planing app, but the Pedaltrain app doesn’t seem to be working. But this one is working great!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback and support! It’s empowers us to make our app even better! Hope you will enjoy future updates!

### 5/5 — Ignore the 1 star

*2021-09-05*

That guy who left the 1 star thinks it’s an effect modeling plugin. If you read the description you see it’s there so you know how big of a board to buy. It does what it does, makes measuring easy.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your feedback and support! It’s empowers us to make our app even better! Hope you will enjoy upcoming updates with some new features!

### 4/5 — Great start to the app

*2025-01-13*

I really like the pedal planner idea. It really helped me figure out my pedal setup. One suggestion would be if there was a feature where users can add the specific settings we put in place for each pedal on our physical board. Whether that’s through the knob view where we can edit on the actual knobs or a notes section within the info section of each pedal. I think it would bring much greater value to the app. It’s really a one time use app at the current version.

### 4/5 — Fine app, but I cannot delete projects or pedals?

*2024-12-18*

As I’m making projects, I realize I can’t delete them. There doesn’t seem to be a setting for it? Also, any custom pedals I make aren’t deleted when I click “Remove from “my pedals”. What’s up with that?

### 4/5 — Almost there

*2024-05-07*

Could be very worth purchasing, but needs more pedals, and also pedal descriptions would be nice.

### 4/5 — Little questions

*2023-10-03, version 1.94*

So can u record and is this combinable with GarageBand?

### 4/5 — Export function

*2023-07-01, version 1.94*

Any chance of getting capability to export custom pedals and pedalboard layouts to be able to transfer between devices and to different users?

### 4/5 — Great

*2022-12-20*

Great for planning on the go! Can’t wait for more brands to be added (Gigrig, Old Blood Noise Endeavours etc!) also be cool to include the fender engine rooms!

### 4/5 — Great app but….

*2022-11-18*

Great app but definitely needs more pedals. I’m trying to add pedals by some of the more popular companies but they aren’t in the list while many in the list are not so common. Also a way to contact developer for support would seem to be a prime needed feature.
