LK - for Ableton Live & Midi for Negative User Reviews

Audio clip editingAfter this much time you should be able to to compete with Touchable in terms of audio clip editing, you know, with you having the slightly better UI and all. Also still crashes a whole lots after updates…. 👀.Version: 1.11.6

Freezing, abandoned GarbageI see the potential after using it for the past 2 days but it constantly freezes on my 4th Gen iPad Pro M2, iOS 17. After doing some research I have found that others are having freezing issues and that this app has been abandoned due to the developer working on another project..Version: 1.12.6

Buggy on iOS 14.2I’ve noticed a few bugs that force me to restart the app too often. Sometimes the matrix composer does not load the midi notes when editing a scene clip. I need to restart the app to see them. The chord section can sometimes get stuck playing notes. It may benefit from a panic button like on the keyboard section. I’ve noticed some missing functionality in the matrix section when reviewing the online documentation. For example, the quantise Q button is not visible..Version: 1.8.5

Makes you buy twiceI bought this on iPhone to do a work around. Later opened app on my iPad and discovered that the modules I purchased are behind a paywall, even after attempting a “restore with purchase.” I feel cheated..Version: 1.11.8

Couple bugs but great interfaceLooks beautiful and controls work very seemlessly with ableton. they just need to fix a bug where ableton cannot select multiple tracks while using LK. i believe this is because LK is unable to select multiple tracks with Matrix. i’ve also ran into bugs where it would crash when sometimes selecting a track with the keyboard. otherwise it’d be a 5 from me, i do believe this app has a lot of potential despite these issues and would love to see these being fixed!.Version: 1.5.1

Do NOT buy these people are bots.This app is the worst excuse for a music app I have ever used. The second I plugged my mini MIDI keyboard in the app went crazy. I closed the app but it still kept playing. I unplugged the keyboard. Still playing. Pressed stop. STILL PLAYING! I had to restart the iPad because it was far too loud and repetitive. PLEASE. If you are reading this, fix these glitches..Version: 1.5.1

FrustratingIt’s seems like a very cool app and I would like to try it out but the connection issues are beyond frustrating. I’ve gone through all the steps of connecting UBRIDGE but it still will not show discoveries devices. I’ll try again and will edit review if this issue becomes fixed..Version: 1.5.1

Like app major battery issueI like the app but had to remove from phone because battery usage said it was taking 74% according to battery use age screen under settings on my iPhone 7. But haven’t used this app on phone in months. Also haven’t let run in background. I usually use on iPad. The latest OSX11.1.2 is already using too much battery. Going to need to fix..Version: 1.3.2

Did I get a beta version?As a midi guitar player I wanted an app that I could launch clips with easily during a live performance and LK is potentially perfect for that. However, I do see some issues that need fixing. 1-documentation does not reflect some of the newer features 2-the app seems to get stuck when you rotate the iPad device (change orientation) 3-in clip actions, the midi note and volume values go from 0 to 126 rather than 127 (assuming a 0-based index). So altogether, although the software is great, these issues have to be fixed before I can trust this app in live performances. Fix these issues please and I’ll change my rating..Version: 1.12.5

Far too complicatedI use a lot of music software but this is too fussy to use..Version: 1.1.3

Did not workI just downloaded the app and gives me a message that my time expired... This app is trying to get my money without even trying it out ....Version: 1.0.5

Constantly losing connection to my PC and sticking MIDI notesI like LK but it constantly loses connection to my PC. One minute it will be working and showing my PC under ‘Device’, the next it shows ‘None’ and I have to re-tap ‘Device’ and choose my PC again. Additionally MIDI notes stick sometimes and the only way to stop them is to go to keyboard view and tap ‘Panic’. I’m using Windows 10 Pro and controlling soft-synths in Cakewalk..Version: 1.6.1

Great app but your payment is a rip offReally sad that you make us pay each module separately, what is the point I rather stick with TouchOSC or something else due to such bad pricing. Really do something about it or you lose customers. I don’t mind the amount but this is not a game app to put such a silly in app form of pricing, should have given an option to get all the modules your audiences are professionals they will gladly buy a good app and prefer to have a smooth payment rather then feel like there is hidden cost..Version: 1.5.1

Made it work onceIt was nice experience,after i struggled to make it work. (Only manage to make it work once) but after I rebooted pc i never had a chance to make it work correctly. Now every time ubridge became superlaggy after my ipad pro gets connected. even moving a window will take 3-4 seconds, tho any other windows was fine, even ableton. That causes huge lag in input(around 2 seconds). When i made it work first time ubridge wasnt laggy, and latency was fine. Fix ubridge, make setup easier and will happily buy program and give you stars back.Version: 1.9.4

No sound coming out on my endWhen I decide to use the app itself, as I’m trying to play some notes, nothing is coming out at all for me even when I have a midi file imported! Is this an issue anyone else is having or am i doing something wrong? Just to note, I don’t have any MIDI controllers to use it with so that could be the reason….Version: 1.12.5

GarbageGreat app. Unbelievably good. Until you reset your IPad, and cannot ‘restore app’....then it cuts you off Ike your using a demo version. Even though you purchased the app...garbage.Version: 1.10.7

No volumeI’ve checked everything and it’s the app’s fault why is there no volume.Version: 1.10.9

Fit for professional usage?After having explored this app’s capabilities in relation to Ableton Live, I have concluded that its promises are empty. Nothing about it really works satisfactorily. If this was a free beta trial, that would be ok, but since payment is required to unlock this app, I feel I must caution other potential buyers. If you are a serious user of Live, you probably will find this app no more useful than a toy. Shame because it does hold useful potential. But too many drawbacks at present..Version: 1.8.5

Battery drain, hot phoneI was really excited about this app and downloaded it a few days ago to use with Live. My phone started to get really hot when I wasn’t using it and battery would die after a couple hours. I have a brand new iPhone X so I was thinking there is something wrong with it. I realized that the app was taking 70% of my battery. There should probably be a warning message when you download it or open the app letting you know you have to force quit it, but also, it seems like this is major flaw that should be addressed. I understand this app takes a lot of processing power but no app should take 70% of battery power when it’s running especially in the background..Version: 1.3.2

Battery usage high under iOS 11Had no problems until I upgraded to iOS 11. Then on iPad Pro 12, app went to 53% battery usage over 24 hours, without even having been opened..Version: 1.3.2

Didn't work.Couldn't get it to work with my Mac running Live 11 Suite. All my other interfaces work fine. I installed UBRIDGE and wasted 15 minutes trying to troubleshoot, by which time the "trial" had run out. I can't even get Matrix to work during the, what, 10 minute (!) trial, and the only option now is to PAY and HOPE that it'll work? I was really excited for this app- ready to buy it right off the bat potentially- but with how stingy the devs are...no thanks. Really left a bad taste in my mouth..Version: 1.12.6

GREAT IDEA, But...I have been messing around with this app for almost a full day now; this is a fantastic idea. I’m using it in AUM, and it works really well, mostly. Occasional crashes in AUM; I have not been able to see any cause or pattern to the crashes. Also, the workflow to get started recording a clip is somewhat tedious and should be simplified. It’s something like 3 separate steps, maybe more, that have to be done before recording is activated; this could be streamlined. I love that this app has had AUv3 capabilities added. When it gets streamlined as mentioned above, and considerably more reliable, I’ll be sure to get back up here and rate it 5 stars..Version: 1.7.4

Sick of the spamWhilst working, why am I getting spam for your other elements to this product? I’ve paid for this. Stop spamming!!.Version: 1.12.6

Always asking me to unlock even though I’ve paidThis is nearly a showstopper. Fix this, as it’s ridiculously annoying.Version: 1.11.4

Battery usage issuesCrazy battery usage even in the background, without using it. I had to delete it from my phone.Version: 1.3.2

BATTERY DRAINED!!I downloaded this app a few months ago and have been busy, so I have not used it really at all. For the past week, my battery had been draining rapidly - going from 100% to 40% in less than 3 hours without me even using my phone. I contacted Apple Support and they told me to check the Battery Usage in settings. I was shocked to find out that LK was eating up 76% of my battery in the past 24 hours - and I hadn’t even used the app!!! I have deleted the app since that discovery and my battery has gone back to normal. I am very displeased with what happened..Version: 1.3.2

Holding JudgementI have just purchased this app. And so far getting used to it’s particular way of working. So far, the clip renaming tool does not work for me. I click on it and no input keyboard is active internally or externally. Also the app has crashed (though it did bring back a recovery state when I relaunched in AUM.) But just felt like it couldn’t cope with 5 simple tracks? I am still evaluating but have been forced to buy the app because the activation prompt deliberately gets in the way far too much when you are actually trying to evaluate before purchase. If the developer can advise me on why I can not rename clips and the any tips on the glitchy timing I’m getting that would be great. running on new IPad Air 5. Thanks, I will happily update my review as appropriate..Version: 1.12.5

Not working at allMay I please get a credit or something it’s been weeks. I payed for the most expensive one too.Version: 1.6.1

Beware the "trial" trapNo idea if this app is any use, couldn't try it out. Apparently the moment you install it, that starts some kind of trial timer whether you use it or not. By the time I had the opportunity to try it out a few days later, I'd been permanently locked out and would have had to pay £21 just to look around the app. Rude. Deleted..Version: 1.1.3

Shocking set up instructions.I have to give this 1 star for the shoddy set up instructions. Incredibly unclear and requiring visits to multiple sites with even more shoddy set up instructions. I mean “install into Ableton Live” install what into Ableton Live? and where do I install this mysterious thing from? Is it another windows program? A VST? Where’s the installer?.Version: 1.3.2

Still waiting for the fix:When you set up a chord in the chorder, it saves a different chord and it doesn't sound right. For example when I set up A0, C1, E1, G1, B1, D2, F#2, and click save preset, the pad will instead play A0, D1, B1, C2, E2, F#2, G2. From my perspective it doesn't work. The Arp doesn't sound right, and the sliders on the side for each note don't sound good either. The email says they're gonna fix it, and it's been a while. I updated the app and it still does the same thing. It seems like such a great program, but I'm not even using it. Hopefully it get's fixed..Version: 1.10.4

Puchase bugI purchased the keyboard and the pad but the app keeps asking me to unlock & tell me & then I receive a message saying I already purchased right after. Quite annoying. Bu the app works great, no latency, nice layout, intuitive UX. If they fix the purchase pop up mistake, this app deserve a 5/5 stars.Version: 1.5.1

Battery drainThe functionality here is good, and it's good having the modular approach to in-app purchases. But the drain it inflicts on the battery is terrible! Even with the app completely closed (and even after closing the app then rebooting the iPad), LK runs the whole time. I've had to delete the app..Version: 1.3.2

Fix Battery ConsumptionIn the last 7.5hrs, this app (which I did not even know was running in the background) ate 82% of my battery. My phone was physically warm when I picked it up so whatever infinite loop you’ve got running in here is CPU intensive either that or you’re polling the network constantly. In all my years as a developer, I don’t think I’ve ever seen programming this bad. If our grads pushed a patch that ate power like this, they could look forward to buying everyone a round that Friday night.Version: 1.3.2

Does not work at this timeFollowed directions, but the program did not connect with Ableton..Version: 1.12.2

RefundI don’t know how many times you want me to keep paying for things even though I have paid for them already. I have previously purchased this but today I paid for the Matrix feature which still keeps asking me to unlock..Version: 1.12.2
