    UNRELIABLE
    This app is very unreliable and support info does not address the issue. Sometimes my iPad finds the device, but MOST of the time it does not.

    Newest update crashes app
    They added monitor controls for the 18i20 and they used to work fine. Even before that it worked as expected but the newest update now crashes app when selecting the monitor control portion of the app. Too bad almost made me want to keep this interface. Looks like I’ll dust off the old motu avb interfaces and get them racked again. This thing is trash anyway. Was just convenient to have in my upstairs server rack. Thumbs down. Oh and I’ve used this 18i20 for the past 2 years without issues. Show more

    Garbage
    Horribly inadequate. This is what Focusrite offers as means for controlling their audio interfaces. No support for IOS IPad platform. Terrible support

    Focusrite is the best... BUT...
    Love the app but it turns off when the screen turns off... they need to figure out how to override the screen in-app to keep it open when in use and I will give it 5Stars... Love, Jordy of SomeKindaWonderful (Focusrite Clarett 2pre user) Show more

    Oooooo, digital!
    Oooooooo, digital control when you want analog. The face of my Focusrite has a dedicated,labeled ,physical control on the face of it. Why? Have a digital version ? You can’t use the software without purchasing the physical controls of the interface. But here, they’ve made the controls digital. That’s right ! It’s true there’s no further set of controls in the app over the physical controls but they could have. They might? , Someday? Never. This app is the perfect place to put plugins for reverb at the very least. This would have allowed Jamkazamers , Podcasters, would be YouTube video makers or live streamers to have a tiny bit of reverb easy and on the go without diving into any DAW crappola. Focusrite has a free plugin package able to be accessed through your DAW /recording software only and it’s easily accessed in 32 EASY steps. It involves licensing , isn’t that great ? So seamless , so musical , so inspiring. That’s why no one ever has problems using digital recording equipment. Show more

    I’m torn.
    The app is amazing. The system is GREAT! But it only connects randomly. I talked to the costumer service and they are extremely kind... but the app needs an update. Whoever developed it for you guys needs to address connectivity. It is very frustrating because is an amazing idea/tool. Show more

    Please read this request ??
    I would like to set my Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 directly from this app since I use my interface connected to my ipad a lot to live sounding. Please start supporting this... Show more

    Completely Unreliable
    Unfortunately, the app will rarely connect with the Mac version to control the Scarlett 6i6 on the iPhone or iPad; and when it does, lists ghost versions of my Interface on the iPad, one showing up even when the device is powered down, but not actually showing any activity or having any control over it, this selection cannot be deleted, even if the app is deleted and re-installed; the other showing up when the device is powered up, working correctly, but with the exact same name as the non-functional selection. Grrrrrr. It has worked, a couple of times, showing its potential. Focusrite Control for Mac should be added to the App Store, as this software pairing is in obvious need for persistent, focused, and automatic updating. Show more

    Good app, add USB support
    IPad pros now have USB ports and you can use your Focusrite interface with them. All I use for recording is my iPad so I would like to control my Focusrite interface directly with my iPad. Can you add support to detect and communicate with interfaces over USB? Show more

    Simple and to the point.
    I love the simplicity of the app. That’s what makes it great. I would give it 5 stars if it showed all 8 inputs for the red4pre where you have a db25 cable connected and need to just make sure line input 5-8 are actually getting a signal from the patchbay. For that I still need to look at the RedNet control. That would be extremely helpful for my workflow. Besides that the app does what it is says it does. Show more

    Nice but loses connection when iPhone goes to sleep
    If there is a workaround to keep it connected when your iPhone goes to sleep it would be perfect. I see that the developer responses say to go to the website and contact support. I did that about three weeks ago with no reply, so I’m hoping this review will catch somebody’s attention. I noticed another review made the same comment here. Show more

    Doesn’t work anymore.
    The app hasn’t worked in months. These updates and the advice from their technicians also didn’t work.

    Need help

    Quick and easy install!
    So far, so good! Using iOS 12, iPhone 6S, MacBook Pro running 10.12.6 (Sierra), and Clarett 2pre. Communication is a little slow but overall, pretty solid...

    No longer crashes!
    It does exactly what it says it will and doesn’t crash. Original Review: Unfortunately I’m having the same problem as others. All of my devices and Mac are running that latest software and I can even see all of my settings after the app successfully connects. Sadly it crashes before I can change any setting. Show more

    Why no work?
    It can't find my 18i6 even when it is directly connected to the iPad via USB Camera Kit!
  • Drizz XP, 29.03.2018
    Add a refresh/rescan button
    I recommend adding a rescan or refresh button to the app, it loses connection if you leave the app and never reconnects when you return, perhaps allow it to run in the background? It also loses connection for no reason sometimes?. Great app other than that, just would like for it to work longer than 3 minutes lol? Show more

    Just doesn’t work
    Windows 10 and a Scarlett 18i20 2nd gen, nothing. Went through troubleshooting, everything set as it should be, no luck. You’d figure with all the new developments FR has had lately, they would have updated the app in the last year. Very disappointed. Show more

    Can’t even use it.
    I bought the Clarett 8pre X mainly for the use of this app. And I can’t even use it now. I open the app on iPad mini, iPad or iPhone 8 and the app just shuts down all with the latest OSX. It’s been over a year since the last update. Come on!!! Show more

    Focusrite disconnect
    Latest Mac and focusrite versions and though the Mac sees the hardware the connection lasts no longer than a couple of seconds. Very disappointing!
