### 1/5 — Simply doesn’t work

*2026-03-20*

I’ve been a v-drum player for over 25 years, and a software dev for 30, so this isn’t a matter of not understanding how these things work. This app simply doesn’t connect to my V71. I can connect via iOS to play music through the V71 without issue. I’ve tried every permutation of settings I can think of and no matter what this app finds nothing. Don’t waste your time on it like I did.

### 1/5 — Dumb and bad

*2026-01-23*

Every time I tried to connect to my E-Drums, it wouldn’t connect. I tried almost 50 times and it still didn’t work. WORST V DRUM APP EVER

### 1/5 — Doesn’t connect

*2025-12-24*

Have the Roland v71. Updated to 2.10. The app has a greyed out connect button. Worhless
