### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2021-01-30, version 1.0.2*

Great when it works but I have had it only two days and it’s crashed twice. When you delete and reinstall, all that you saved has, of course, disappeared. Oh Roland!

### 4/5 — Basic but works

*2021-01-23, version 1.0.2*

Useful to connect to Ipad to use other apps

### 5/5 — Спасибо!

*2020-02-18, version 1.0.2*

Отлично работает ! Я довольна.

### 1/5 — Je possède un Hp 507

*2019-12-16, version 1.0.2*

Depuis quelques années. 

Je suis déçu du système Wireless 
LAN Adapter. C’est clair, ça ne fonctionne. pas...😤😠
Y-a-t-il quelque chose à faire avec cela oui ou n’ont?

C’est frustrant malgré la bonne volonté d’un représentant qui a fait bien des démarche. Dois-je changer de système, de sorte de piano, d’application?

J’aimerais une vraie réponse. Richard

### 1/5 — Inútil

*2019-08-13, version 1.0.2*

Incluso habiendo contactado con la tienda y decirme que sería porque había q actualizar el teclado, actualizarlo, probar con varios soportes diferentes, etc. no hay manera de que funcione. La primera vez que se conectó funcionó todo correctamente, y al ir probando la App de repente empezó a dar problemas y dejó de funcionar. Únicamente funciona la Flash cards. Hoy tras un año he probado otra vez y me ha funcionado durante cinco minutos. Tiene muchos problemas y para ser Roland y venderlo como teclado con muchas opciones gracias a la App, no cumple sus funciones.

### 1/5 — Rd800

*2018-12-11, version 1.0.2*

Will not work with this model of piano. Bought wireless dongle specifically to use but only flash card feature works on beginner level despite app connecting to piano. Disappointed.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2018-12-10, version 1.0.2*

Roland a88 keyboard connects but all app options are still unavailable

### 2/5 — HP601

*2018-02-15, version 1.0.2*

Doesn’t work with HP601 in spite of successful connection. Add plz an opportunity to add my own docs and turn pages in it using soft pedal.

### 5/5 — Great!

*2017-11-16, version 1.0.2*

Works exactly as advertised on my Roland RP401R.

I wish it had features of the Piano Partner 2.

### 1/5 — Disapointing

*2017-09-17, version 1.0.2*

I spent over 6 hours of my weekend trying to connect my RP401R to the app. I am very frustrated as the connectivity was one of my primary purchase driver. I can't believe I purchased a brand new digital piano, over 1,150  usd and this thing does not work.
