Frequently broken / not functioning properly
Pedals often do not load in properly when selecting from the search function or bringing up a saved board.
Very useful and fun app when it works, but is far too frequently unusable.
Huge shame because there is a large library of pedals that seems to be updated with new releases quickly.

Flop
Great idea but hangs loading pedal library. Pedal playground works much better.
Very useful
Very good idea and it’s executed quite well. One issue is the Pedaltrain nano+ board approximation is just not the right size for me. + some pedals are kinda noticeably wrong. For example, some pedals that are in the same range (and therefore the same enclosure size) are clearly different in the app when placed next to eachother.

Please update the app.
2-6-26. Please update the app. Pedals used to be updated regularly. It’s been glitchy and terrible since the last update.
Help!
It’s not loading today all the sudden. Is there an update? Can you fix it? Thanks!
Updated Needed
Currently missing some new pedals/companies like Jet Pedals Unity 6 or solodallas. i tried a workaround by placing the sticky note feature in the spot of a missing pedal because it looks like you can change the size of the note but nothing changes except the font for me. fixing the note feature and maybe creating the option to create and label blocks as pedals that aren’t yet in the library would be a nice addition. Thanks for making a great app to dream up new boards!

Does what I need
This app works well to decide what size board I need for my build.
A couple of missing pedals: Darkglass Kaamos, DOD FX25

Just keeps getting worse
The original version wasn’t great but it worked alright. The new version is glitchy, rarely works, and the pedals aren’t even sized right half the time. The same company that uses the same enclosure for different pedals (ex. MXR Phase 100, Classic 108 Fuzz and Slash fuzz are all different sizes in the app but the same enclosure in real life). It’s just glitchy and poorly executed.

Really brilliant but a little quirky
This is a brilliantly useful app and not talked about enough in guitar pedal circles. I’ve deducted a star as it’s definitely a quirky app and a bit too easy to accidentally move something. BUT… and it’s a big but…. It’s amazing for sketching out idea for new pedal orders and figuring out if they’ll fit as you hoped. I love the fact they keep the pedal catalogue up to date. A terrific app.

I use this app everyday.
Please can we have the “does it doom?” range of pedals added. Hypercoven and Walpurgis Vol 2 to start with.
Good app
Some of the reviews for this app seem to be due to user error. The app is intuitive and straightforward, making it easy to use. Any bugs I’ve encountered in the past have been fixed, just like in any other app. I’ve been using it on and off for several years. Oh, and it’s also FREE.
Great and useful
This app was great then changed and took forever to work to the point it was useless. Glad to say as of Oct 2025 this app is great and works like a dream again. Sure it’s pedal train centric and it’s missing a few pedals but for 90% of the time it’s just what I needed. Recommended.
Literally just stopped working
Tried uninstalling, closing the app from App Switcher, all that. Was working pretty decently up until a few weeks ago and now none of the functions work.
Press the board button, screen goes black. Try to add a pedal and the app beach balls.
I’ve been resorting to the website version in the meantime.

Quit Working!
I used to love it, but you had to keel it. Why?
Horrible
The original version of this app was perfectly usable and made sense. The new version is one of the worst designed apps I’ve ever seen and it doesn’t even work anymore, whenever I try to pick a pedalboard it just goes to a black screen. Why is there a giant background for you to accidentally move the pedalboard around? The controls are awful.

Glitchy and still not updated
Obviously you can’t have every model of every pedal from every brand but they haven’t added too many current mainstream offerings, sizes of pedals aren’t accurate and the app crashes CONSTANTLY. It’s always glitchy where I can’t move the screen, can’t choose a new board, can’t add pedals. The old version was at least useable. This was a massive downgrade and I still can’t add a D’Addario tuner

Used to be ok-ish now it just doesn’t work
It used to have some quirks but now it’s just unusable. Whenever I press to add a pedalboard it turns black then crashes. I even tried to redownload it but it keeps happening.
Abysmal App for a Great Company
This is an abysmal app. As a long time Pedaltrain product user, this is one of the buggiest and sloppiest apps I’ve ever used. I’ve tried so hard to make this app work for me, but it is just so inconsistent and awkward in almost every application. It crashes all the time, it often fails to load saved board layouts, it is behind on highly popular and current pedal models, its background graphics are laughably bad, and it is hopelessly unreliable. Today, the app just decided it wouldn’t load anything whatsoever no matter how many times I restarted the app. That was the last straw for me. I hope the designers finally extinguish this dumpster fire, because right now, this app is one of the worst out there for layout planning. I don’t hold out much hope of an app fix; The last “update” might have fixed a few previous issues, but in my opinion, it only just introduced a fresh new set of problems. I still love Pedaltrain boards and their cases, but this app is just awful. Until fixed, I recommend you download a different pedalboard planner app!

Don’t waste your time
It was good in the past, it came in handy when planning and purchasing your pedal board, now it won’t load anything. Disappointed.
Updated Needed
Current version is not working with the new IOS update. can’t load anything at the moment. i do prefer this app over websites as i can save and recall ideas, and the devs seem to update pretty often as new pedals come to relevancy. i hope an update comes soon!
