Ratings and reviews

The app represents the desktop version well and allows you to edit and modify with relative ease. I say relative because it only operates in portrait mode which means there's a lot of scrolling. I spent a few hours trying to connect via Bluetooth. The GT was visible through my phone but not the app. After scouring the internet for answers, I read in the app description itself that the phone's location needs to be enabled. The app should detect if its enabled or not and then enable.

i still don't like that i need to enable location for this, and with that it still difficult connecting. editing some things from this app can be a little nicer than using the pedal. but then i also need my phone in a good position to play guitar and mess with the patches. it's the same effort getting the unit into a decent position to turn knobs. i installed again because i thought i'd use this to load IRs, but i guess that's only on the desktop app, so still don't like this app.

Update: it still doesn't work, but increasing score as thanks for recent firmware update including the glorious sd1 as well as new amp models. Sd1 was a better priority, good call! Doesn't work on Samsung S23 Ultra, phone see's the bluetooth, app doesn't, location is set to on. Considering it's a nearly £1000 pedal you would hope they would support the app...
