Doesn’t even boot up

Doesn’t even boot up I hope roil pay attention and update it I’ve been waiting for this app for years now to get an update and finally boot on newer devices

Is there a way to make negative stars

This company is the worst. I regret owning any of their hardware. The software needed to use Blocks will not install on my Mac, and this app won’t even start up. It just shows the logo and disappears. Nothing will install. Now I have several hundred dollars of useless, squishy crap.

Contacting customer service is pointless. I’m still waiting a week from this most recent time that I needed help. If your customer service is that backed up from customers having issues, maybe you need to reevaluate your product.

Please remove their apps from your store so that no one is even tempted to download them. I guess if you want people to buy new Apple products, leave it. I almost smashed my phone in anger while trying to make this work.

App not loading

Has anyone successfully brought up the app ? It is not loading at all for me. Do they have support guys looking into it?

Crashes on start

App crashes immediately. Unusable.

Last update was 4 years ago

This app is broken for at least current iOS 15 and up (as of writing, late 2022) and Roli has left this app to die. It’s so sad as so many people have supported and invested hundreds if not thousands of dollars for Roli blocks, keyboards, etc and this is the thank you for being supporters of Roli. Sorry Roli, it’s unacceptable. You shouldn’t need to be reminded to support your own hardware and software. Sigh… Shame on you Roli!
