## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Waste of time and money

*2025-08-08*

I followed all the steps provided, it shows my Bitwig in the app but doesn’t connect. Broke my wifi trying to fix it, lost an entire afternoon of my life I’ll never get back. Studio Ones app is free and it instantly connects without issue for comparison. Emailed developers asking for a refund, waiting to hear back

### 2/5 — Kind of a buggy mess

*2024-05-10*

There’s issues, mostly about how the app seems to update the current status of project. Makes it annoying to use beyond basic control. Response time is noticeable slowe when compared to other OSC applications I was really hoping this app would be like the  “Touchable Pro” app for Ableton which is fantastic, but this just under delivers and fails occasionally when doing simple stuff.

### 2/5 — Contact email bounces back

*2024-01-13*

Tried to get this to connect for hours of opening ports,etc. but no luck. Sent a help request to the email in the online handbook. It bounced back.  Hopefully the creator will see this and correct this. This would be a terrific tool if it worked.

**Developer response:** Can you please send the email again? Was there any reason provided in the bounce notice?

### 2/5 — Tried everything app will not connect.

*2023-01-01*

Spent about an hour trying to configure this app and no matter what I did I could not make the connection. As much I would love to get this app a favorable review, unfortunately I can’t.

### 4/5 — It took me over an hour to get this connected

*2024-04-19*

Not ready to review the functionality yet, but I wanted to update my one star review, now that I finally figured out how to connect.

### 5/5 — Seems to work

*2024-12-27*

It helps to update the extension on the Mac.

### 5/5 — Yes please

*2023-10-08*

Grabbed this when it dropped and forgot about it after using it for a bit. Boy did I sleep, this is essential for Bitwig Users and highly recommended.

### 5/5 — I would like to be able to show third party vst plugin

*2023-10-04*

I would like to be able to show third party vst plugin

### 5/5 — Just what we needed!

*2023-05-16*

This app is great and very easy to use. Perfect for those of us recording ourselves and need mic stand access to start / stop recording.

### 5/5 — Seems to work

*2023-02-13, version 1.3*

I'm migrating from Ableton to Bitwig and I missed LK.

This is a bit clunky to setup, it can't autodiscover the IPs, but it seems to be working.

I can launch and stop clips which is the big thing I was missing.

Looks to be well supported.

### 5/5 — Bitwig is alive

*2023-01-06*

Thanks for giving Bitwig users a functional iPad controller! Looking forward to future developments.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2022-12-28*

The R Kontrol app is pure awesomeness! I’ve been waiting for a proper Bitwig remote control app for so long. I’m so glad it’s finally here & works so well.
