Ratings and reviews

The interface is very clunky and doesn't respond well to the back gesture/button. It also wants to run in the background even though there shouldn't be any reason for it to do that. Overall though I've found the ability to import and mark sections in practice tracks to be super useful. I hope they add a metronome feature in the future.

Does the job but there are some very annoying things. 1. It loses connection and has to be reconnected quite frequently, which is a very cumbersome process. Why can't the app reestablish the connection by itself (or maybe not lose the connection in the first place)? 2. Countless times I wanted to change a value (by sliding with my finger on the button) and accidentally opened the dialog to enter a value. Extremely annoying. Make it harder to open the dialog, f.e. with a 4 seconds delay.

This gadget is great, especially once I got it connected to my phone. Far superior to the Vox and Fender Micro because of ability to customize the effects. The only problem, and the reason for 4 stars, is I can't get Reaper to recognize it. Roland simply says it's ASIO compliant and doesn't need anything else. Well, it doesn't work for me when recording and don't know where to turn to now.
