### 4/5 — Works easy if wired, good app

*2026-04-13*

Simple easy design! Works as it should (wired). Easily add cc controller faders to your set up on iPhone to Mac! First tried wirelessly (MacBook Pro, Pro Tools) spent forever not getting it to work, used developer's link mentioned in another review, which sets up audio midi, google etc just couldn't get it going). Then wired iPhone to Mac via usb works GREAT. Super simple, easy to configure. Highly recommend if you're ok with wired.

### 5/5 — Great Slider Option

*2025-07-02*

I’m on a Win 11 system. I installed this app on my phone, connected the Mío USB to MIDI cable, then plugged into the midi in port on my interface.  My use case is limited to CC1 and 11.  App seems to work without needing a fancy fader. Only thing missing is the physical tactile nature of a slider. But this works and saves the need for additional gear for now.

### 4/5 — Pretty simple and straightforward

*2024-05-22*

This is easy to use and setup. However, would massively benefit from being able to custom name the faders and would also be great to have a few buttons for triggering MIDI events

### 1/5 — Not enough info

*2024-05-17*

Not enough info, I tried connecting my MacBook and piano all together to use the faders but nothing work maybe give a tutorial on how to do all that to make it easy.

**Developer response:** Thanks for trying it out. Please find set-up instructions on https://beijaflor.io/refader/
