Not suitable for my work. I want refund
When the new version is a downgrade. Overcomplicated. No USB connection between PC and Android Tablet, even with Debugging enabled. And no refund option. Worst app that I bought for audio applications.
Could be awesome, but it feels like the dev is completely out of their depth. By the time I realized how lackluster mkII was, it was too late for a return. Save your money, time, and sanity.
All lost due to an automatic app update.
Bad app not understanding how to assign
Support is a red flag, I replied to their one and only support email and nothing, the app won't even open on my tablet. So one star.
Ran into a ton of issues trying to import .touchosc files into the app. I downloaded a .touchosc file onto my Android device and tried to import it via the app, but the app must not be requesting the right mime types because the Files app then doesn't make the .touchosc file available for selection. Also tried to install the TouchOSC editor and sync the layout over wifi, but just can't figure out how to do that on the Android app the the documentation online is really lacking. Want a refund.
no bluetooth MIDI ! ✖️ what's the problem with the 'location' permission? The same rule applies to any BT device! And the MIDI BLE app is no more developed or updated since years! It's just a matter of time and it will end up being thrown out of the Store like it happens to a hundred old apps every month!
This app (plus the desktop app) was so frustrating to use. Open Stage Control is much better. I started out with TouchOSC because I didn't realize I could use Open Stage Control on a tablet via browser and now I will be using it instead, plus it is open source so I know it will continue to receive updates or I can fork it myself. As for TouchOSC...the desktop app for building UIs is (at least on windows) very clunky to use, limited, not to mention buggy (I can reliably crash it or make it silently fail to send OSC messages by using OSC Connection 2 rather than 1). Even with disabling windows firewall, the MIDI capabilities did not work reliably for me (worked on one computer but not another). When you first start working with it the capabilities seem deep, but are in actuality rather shallow when it comes to the MOST IMPORTANT PART, I.E. sending and receiving OSC messages. It wants you to use a very specific mechanism in order to have 2-way controls, and if your receiver deviates from it, you are SOL. For example, my receiver wants encoders to send a "delta" value but I cannot configure TouchOSC to do that (at least not without custom scripting). It brags about its "Scripting API" but it is severely limited, for example if I wanted to customize how messages are sent/received I would have to copy paste a script block between every single control. Why not have a basic input/output function I can override to intercept all messages? Even just basic things like moving around the document tree is a PITA. You apparently cannot even do a simple thing like move a document from one location in the tree to another. You have to cut and paste, and when you do so, the name of the control is changed. So don't even think about bulk actions like moving a bunch of controls into a panel. I have too much negative to say about it to fit here. I think they've made some fundamentally bad design decisions about it from a UX as well as a technical perspective (seriously why not just run in a browser?) so I have little hope it will improve.
PAID ÂŁ9.99 for this app and it does not work properly. CRASHES the daw constantly. Does not send any midi data majority of the time despite being set up EXACTLY as instructed. Also the interface is terribly cumbersome. Seems set up also references obvious previous versions if the app because the pics shown are not the current horrid version. The whole set up is convoluted. Have not been able to successfully use it as intended. I would like a refund. Also they favour apple and android is secondary. You can not use just a usb connection.
