a joke
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.

CME BABY!!!!
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!!

Great device. App works fine
Great wireless midi interface device. App works as expected so far. No issues updating the firmware, or getting connected.
Good tool
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!
Works nicely
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!

Crashes. Can’t create a group.
When I click on Download Group the app completely disappears.
UPDATE: (Does not) Break the device
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.

Clunky and unreliable
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.
Not working
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
Audio in
I cant use it on the mode midi in
Trash
Don’t bother trying this. Amateur product.
Be sure to power your device when upgrading
For those who are stuck in upgrade mode : be sure to power your device (where the WIDI is plugged). Do it with a proper wall power adapter if possible.
I tried to upgrade from my synth (Deluge Synth) and it only worked once I plugged it.
I’m removing a star because it should be mentioned on the app. If the devs update the app I will update my review.

Version 1.5.2 works great for WIDI Uhost firmware updates
Version 1.5.2 works great for WIDI Uhost Bluetooth and USB firmware updates.
I haven’t tried WIDI group auto learn yet (need an additional WIDI Uhost for iOS devices with MacBook Pro 13” M1). I’ll add to this review when I do that.

App crashes on boot up
App doesn’t work.
Please fix this app
the bugginess of this app is a huge detriment to this line of products which I had high hopes for. assigning groups simply does not work as a screen is unresponsive on iPhone 12 Pro. App totally broken on 2017 iPad. I was hoping these products would be more set and forget thing, but they often require reprogramming via the app which again needs tons of work, and seems to not have been changed much since similar complaints were lodged a year ago.
again, I’m really rooting for this brand, but this is quite a dealbreaker

Updating firmware works (3/9/22)
Writing this review to say I updated the firmware on my UHost just now and it was super easy, very clear instruction with no problems.
Too buggy
Great product but this app really needs to be tested by the developers. I was able to update the firmware of my devices by following the advice on another review. Now my devices show up for a second or two and then disappear. So I’m unable to set up groups.
Works perfectly, but confusing
The dialogue is a little confusing, but it works as it should for firmware updates. Beyond that I have no idea how to create groups, some nice I can only see one device at a time.
Update
The other review here includes a solution that actually worked! Thank you!
