### 5/5 — a joke

*2026-03-08, version 1.8.0*

i hate that I ever bought the cme widi uhost. has been a brick since i purchased and keep going back to app to see if there is a chance they have solved their problems bur no.  an app that sends you to a link to an app to update firmware on the app to then go to link to get firmware to then go to app an on and on and on.  on pc it is the same madness sending us to an appp to get firmwarw that is not there.

### 5/5 — CME BABY!!!!

*2025-11-01, version 1.8.0*

Man Oh MAN!!!!Well I’m CLOCKING NOW!!!  It took a little bit of Trial and error. But once I was fluent in Standard “MIDI”. Specifically Applying The tools in practice. Then, and only then was I able to incorporate the CME “WIDI” Tools and make my world a lot less congested!!! LOL. THANK YOU CME For my Dope setup!!

### 5/5 — Great device. App works fine

*2025-01-09, version 1.7.7*

Great wireless midi interface device. App works as expected so far. No issues updating the firmware, or getting connected.

### 5/5 — Good tool

*2024-11-23, version 1.7.7*

The app allowed me to update firmware using iPhone 16. I just waited a few mins and kept phone really close to the WIDI Master dongle. My setup of three MIDI devices worked well to pass clock wirelessly! Great tech!

### 5/5 — Works nicely

*2024-11-21, version 1.7.7*

Got this working in about 5 minutes with my iPhone 11 and and old Keystep with a flaky USB port. Power from a USB-C power bank with a 9V barrel jack adapter. 

Boom nearly wireless keyboard that used to be barely usable on my desk. Nice!

### 1/5 — Crashes. Can’t create a group.

*2024-03-31, version 1.6.4*

When I click on Download Group the app completely disappears.

### 5/5 — UPDATE: (Does not) Break the device

*2023-10-31, version 1.6.4*

UPDATE: the firmware update failed initially with an iPhone, but succeeded with an iPad. There seems to be a problem with Bluetooth cache in iOS. The device and app work great together. 

INITIALLY: The firmware update is the only option you have when you start the app. I left mine “updating” for an hour. Then a message: “the firmware update was aborted”. The Wido device has been bricked. It no longer connects to the app. Both the device and the app work together in this moment to guarantee that nothing works.

### 1/5 — Breaks the device

### 1/5 — Clunky and unreliable

*2023-07-17, version 1.5.2*

I spend more time fussing with this app trying to get it to work than successfully using it. It’s super glitchy and unreliable. Has killed more flow states than I can count. I am about ready to give up trying to use this poorly executed product.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-06-25, version 1.5.2*

Spent £100 on widi products. App won’t acknowledge i’ve given bluetooth permissions and won’t firmware update. Nowhere to report bugs or request help from within the app. Not good enough
