Superb

Using touchable almost a decade.
Love performing recording sessions , on the fly.

Never let me down, would like to see more updates like more effects, second screen, stability issues,my favourite app paired with my Akai pad 40 mk2.

Maybe mirroting would be ideal for controlling from bigger screen that would be ace .

Amazing

I also have a push 2.
Never spent the time to really learn it, then one day I finally put time in, its absolutely amazing. For many things is much quicker than push 2, and way easier to use live.
I sure hope they fully update it for 12.
Well worth the money.

Make Scenes Button Bigger

Can you please allow an option to make the Scenes Launch button larger? It’s too small. I can adjust the size of the clips button but not the scene button. I would like a larger scene laugh button=) thank you.

Would’ve been nice to know this isn’t supported

Disappointing that this would still be available on the Apple Store and presented as an iPad option by Ableton when it’s no longer supported and doesn’t even seem to work. Looking to get my money back.

Abandoneware

This used to be the best iOS app for Ableton by leaps and bounds. However, it is no longer being maintained by the developer and is currently in a barely functional state especially since the release of Ableton 12. Worst of all, no competitor has taken its place and now there is a serious gap in the market, with no viable multitouch controller apps for Ableton in existence, at least not even close to what Touchable was.
