### 4/5 — Works Like a Champ!

*2020-12-24, version 1.1.0*

If this 82 year old idiot can get this to work in a half hour, anyone can!  Everything works fine!

One question,though.  The PC version of the app has much more functionality than the iPad version does!  How about more work on this version?

### 1/5 — Can’t get past page 4 on the manual.

*2020-10-03, version 1.1.0*

The app doesn’t connect. I tried using the manual and every time I scroll past page for the app crashes.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t stay connected

*2019-05-31, version 1.1.0*

Doesn’t stay connected.

### 5/5 — Excelente ferramenta.

*2019-02-28, version 1.1.0*

Edição em tempo real. Possibilidade de extrair mais recursos do meu VR-09. Muito bom.

### 2/5 — Not Working iPad 2018

*2018-04-14, version 1.1.0*

There seems to be issues connecting with the new iPad. Please help.

### 3/5 — Somewhat broken with iOS 10.2

*2016-12-17, version 1.0.1*

Don't know what's up, but with latest iOS this app doesn't transmit everything like it used to. None of the organ controls work--though the app receives changes, it won't transmit organ controls anymore.
Plus, certain synth banks won't tell the app they're assigned to the upper part, and won't be editable.

Keyboard is awesome, just wish the editor would be fixed, or a desktop editor made available.

### 4/5 — Awesome app, but...

*2015-05-30, version 1.0.1*

Awesome app, it gives life to the keyboard, but it would be better if it had arpeggiator in it and some kind of tutorial to use the synth editor. Thanks Roland!

### 5/5 — Brilliant ! revised.

*2014-02-14, version 1.0.1*

Brilliant idea, but now I've tried it on stage, it's not much use. The synth editor is handy for tweaking sounds in the studio but the controls on the actual keyboard are so good, it makes hooking up the iPad on stage a bit pointless. The design of the organ interface is really poor. Roland should have made better use of the the ipad screen and made the drawbars bigger or maybe put reverse coloured keys that could be programmed to recall presets just like a real B3.

### 1/5 — Mr

*2013-10-05, version 1.0.1*

App is too basic even if it worked properly. The connection to the keyboard keeps dropping out. Very frustrating!

### 5/5 — Questiom

*2013-03-22, version 1.0.1*

Are we going to see the Legendary Roland Jupiter-8 on our iPads anytime soon???
