I really like the pedal planner idea. It really helped me figure out my pedal setup. One suggestion would be if there was a feature where users can add the specific settings we put in place for each pedal on our physical board. Whether that’s through the knob view where we can edit on the actual knobs or a notes section within the info section of each pedal. I think it would bring much greater value to the app. It’s really a one time use app at the current version.

I hoped to replace PedalPlayground with this app because it’s been so buggy and locking up on my phone, plus every time I refresh because it locks up, I keep getting Temu ads. 🙄 But this app didn’t have SO many of the popular brands that so many people use. When I tried to use “custom” to upload a pic of my Morningstar ML5, the stock block size was accurate until I uploaded a pic. My ML5 is 6.5” wide, almost the same width as my BigSky at 6.75”. The superimposed pic made the ML5 look about 2” narrower than the BigSky. When I tried to augment to dimensions, they don’t change the pic size, but if you use the blank opaque box provided, the dimensions are proper. I wanted to like this app and paid the one time fee to buy it. But now, I guess I’m going back to a buggy PedalPlayground. Disappointing.

I wanted to love this app, because Pedalboard Planner from Pedaltrain is specific to their boards. But while this app has a good foundation, the database of manufacturers — both pedals and boards — needs a lot of updating. You can add a custom board, but it somehow doesn’t work that well. Plus, it doesn’t cover Voodoo Labs, Walrus Audio, or any number of other prominent and popular manufacturers. The lost is far from exhaustive or even current. It feels like a project that was off to a good start but they lost interest (or financing) in keeping it current. I hope they find the time and financial backing to keep it updated and complete. It has the potential to be great.

This will not show up along with any of the other music efx when I’m applying efx in GarageBand or Cubasis. There are no instructions to be found, anywhere. There is absolutely no way to interact in this app. There’s no explanation re how to even hook the pedals up to one another. There is no facility for interacting with your interface, so you’d know how to hook up your guitar. That is BASIC, folks. This dev appear to be startlingly ignorant, and clearly don’t know what they’re doing. The stompboxes do not respond when you try to adjust the controls. This app is an utter joke, and if I were this dev, I’d drink a can of Raid to kill myself, out of what a fool I’ve exposed myself as, in making this “music app”.
