It's almost offensive that Roland would do such a poor job on the accompanying software, that their $400 practice amp relies upon. Across 5 devices, 2 different types of tablets, it failed to connect at all, on 2 Android phones, it connected, but it was incredibly unstable, seeming to take any opportunity that had to lose the connection. On my Chromebook, it connected but it was even more unstable than the phone's, and badly configured. Good amp, awful software. A real dissappointment.

My experience is the same as everyone else. I've only been successful in connecting a couple of times out of dozens of attempts. Just because it has connected before is no guarantee it will connect the next 20 attempts. I've never been able to get the BT playback function to work at all... not even once. And I've tried on four different devices. Please fix the app issue. Otherwise, I love the amp.

Fantastic practice amp, terrible Android app. The app seems like it was developed by people who don't usually develop for Android, and who definitely don't use Android devices. The back button not only force-closes the app, you then have to re-pair the amp via the bluetooth pairing menus in the App every. single. time. you. launch. the. app. w.t.f? The app (or the amp) also drops the bluetooth connection while trying to load files from the app to the amp. (My bluetooth connections are rock solid with all other apps/devices, which is why I assume the problem is with the amp or app and not my phone.) This makes it impossible to actually load files to the amp, because even though the amp has a USB port, there's no Windows or Mac version of BTS that would allow us to load patch files that way instead. :-/
