Ratings and reviews

Same problem that everyone else is having - 99% of the time it will drop the bluetooth connection w/in 5 seconds or so, prior to loading the patch names. Attempts to reconnect either say "wrong device" or simply don't see the Pocket GT at all. The advice another commenter provided works for me: before starting, wipe all app data, have the Pocket GT on, then start the app. I clear the data as soon as I exit the app, so it's ready to go when I restart. It's either that, or I use one of my iOS devices, both of which just work without problem. Android seems to be an afterthought for Boss's developers. They need to fix this ASAP!

Can't save video anymore. I had several lessons saved and they are gone now. I've gone back to YouTube to get them back and NOW they won't play unless I'm on they YT site. YouTube is now pushing their own app to do what Pocket GT does. I'm guessing the 'engineers' with boss didn't clear the use of YouTube with YouTube. Rookie mistake. Now I got a paperweight/effects processor and I already have an effects processor.

I'm running into the same thing everyone else is. The vast majority of YouTube videos are not compatible with this device. If you find a video that works, the app is great. Unfortunately, you probably won't find many. It's a good headphone amp, but the app is very nearly worthless for what its intended purposes is at this point. If they added the ability to use local videos, this would probably be 5 stars, but as it sits you should assume you're only using this device without the app.

What's new

The following bug was fixed
"WRONG URL/The Video is not found" or "This video is unavailable" appears in Session screen and YouTube content becomes unavailable.
