Great hardware, terrible software – Instrument 1 Review

I love my Artiphon (well, except for the battery that drains overnight while the Artiphon is turned off, but I digress). However, this software is mostly unusable. On an iPad Pro 12.9”, panels arbitrarily show around the screen, half of the interactive elements don’t respond to touch. And unfortunately it is necessary to configure your hardware—so I am no longer able to change anything on the device itself now. Even when the layout is fine on smaller devices, the UI follows few standard UI paradigms. Managing presets, especially updating existing items, is bonkers. This app could be a beautiful companion to an amazing instrument, but it’s non-functional, difficult to use, and appears abandoned.
