Some great features, but needs work
Jan 16

Tristan from the United States
The Piano Partner 2 app has some innovative controls and some developed features, but there are two issues with it: 1. It doesn't allow you to save recordings to an external device, (or at least explain why it can't). Recording playback slows down and acts very strange when the app is minimized.2. Bluetooth problems. For about a year, I couldn't connect with Bluetooth, but it was fixed once I realized the bluetooth settings on my FP-10 were turned off accidentally (it uses white keys and function button for the bluetooth settings and is not very obvious when it gets changed, which probably causes a lot of confusion for people). Also possibly fixed in updates, but it's hard to tell.

What a buggy, useless, and lazy app. It seems as though Roland hired a third-party contractor to make this app solely so they could check off the “we have an app” box.The app is super buggy and prone to constant freezing and crashing. If only this was the worst of its problems.This app’s biggest problem is that it doesn’t do anything useful. And to add insult to injury, it comes tantalizingly close to what the app’s users obviously want. For example, the app lets you record what you play on the piano. Neat, right? Nope. You can’t export or share the audio recording. You can only listen to it in the app. And when you play it, it can only be heard through the piano’s headphones or speakers. This is mind-boggling dumb. Thankfully, you probably won’t have to deal with this annoyance because the app will likely crash halfway through recording.Each time I open the app, I have to pair the piano with it as if the app has never before connected to it.The interface looks like it was designed for the iPhone 3G and they couldn’t be bothered to update it any time in the ensuing fourteen years.I could go on and on, but I’ll stop here before I have an aneurysm.This app is a raging dumpster fire. Roland should be embarrassed.

Buggy mess

Oh my goodness this app is borderline unusable. There has been a bug in this app for over a YEAR where if you tap the + button on the transpose scale, it will stay activated transpose the maximum number of half steps upwards. The “recorder” page is immanently broken. I literally could not leave this page. None of the buttons did anything. Had to close the app to escape. Also split piano is worthless- you can’t sustain the left split, the sustain only works for the right split! What’s the point???Seriously Roland please do better. Please try. Please pretend to care. This is literally more frustrating and harmful than helpful. Just don’t offer an app if you’re gonna give it out to contractors for the lowest possible price and market your piano as having app integrations. This ain’t it.

Poor bluetooth

I don’t know if its my piano or the app, but i’ve been having to many problems dealing with the bluetooth. It keeps disconnecting from my piano and it won’t let me connect back. Yes, sometimes it does work, but often, it randomly disconnects. When it disconnects, it won’t let me connect back, and I have to forget the device and reconnect and do the whole procedure again. After a while, it gets hella annoying and I just quit on the app after I’ve spent like 20 minutes trying to make it work. And the thing about this app is that it grants many more features, like new tones and sounds, so it is a big shame I cannot use it.

The latest version includes the following improvements: - Fixed the problem that caused the app to crash when performing some screen transitions while using it on iOS / iPadOS 18 devices.
