App doesn’t work as well as it might
Pala K.
STILL waiting for them to fix this app as it would be handy to have the files I made on my computer on my iPad and phone, but they are too busy inventing new bells and whistles instead of assuring their present offerings work properly. It would be easy enough for the developers to fix the bugs and give a RECENT update or take the App in the App store down altogether. PG Music standards are usually good but they sure missed the mark here!
Unusable in it’s present form

Used to be that BIAB was easy to use. Now it is not, and this app is a totally worthless addition.
App doesn’t work as well as it might
Pala K.
Tried to set this up and entered IP address, waited 45 min for tech support and they claim that the app works, but if there are so many problems for numerous people either instructions are faulty or it has numerous bugs. For one thing, I cannot close the app by hitting the “x”. The IP router set up is not at all easy, or consistent - tutorials or not. Even the highest level tech support agent claims he doesn’t know iPhones well enough to advise other than show me one way I could access the files by zipping them and then sending them to Dropbox. Well that took some doing and worked to zip some already generated file and download through Dropbox. Still some issues, but I bet anything they will make the proper adjustments because it’s just too cool an App to neglect!
No sound at all
RunAndWrite
I can’t get this app to actually make any sound when I play a song. Yes, I am sure the volume on my phone is up, and I turned up the volume in the app, too. It runs through the song highlighting each measure as it “plays” but doesn’t play anything.
Band in a box

This app is BS and the developer should be ashamed of themselves putting this crap out IT Doesn’t Work!
Works

Great app. I do a lot of composing on my laptop and playback on my iPad when away from laptop.
Useless App
BBA2VT
Couldn’t run a song downloaded from my MacPro without being on WIFI and remembering the IP address of my Mac. What the hell good is that when you’re away from home? Love my laptop version. Hate this app. I can understand they don’t want to give full functionality to an app, but not being able to just play something you’ve already created and downloaded to iPad is just ridiculous.
Poor design
...::mybffs4evr::...
This is totally dumb, a) if you dont already own Band in a Box, this is useless. B) if you already own Band ina Box, why mess with a very limited iPad version that requires you to connect, download, and virtually do everything in the version in your server, no this is not a stand alone or even slimmed down version of BIAB. This is basically nothing, which requires you to spend a ton of time figuring OUT it is nothing, dont mention trying to find your server Ip address at the bginning. Waste of time and effort,
Worthless

Too hard to use. Downloading of file is iffy. Instructions unintelligible. Yuk.
