Focusrite Control 2

I love my scarlet solo 4th gen, but the connection process between the iPhone and the Desktop apps are nearly impossible to get working. I hope for a fix here soon!

UPDATE 5 Oh boy, I really did it this time, and good! So the app isn't connecting to my phone because there's a VPN in my phone. It's in there, doing silly little things, and one of the things it's doing is not allowing me to connect to this app. My review is back up to FIVE GOLDEN STARS. I gave the one star review to the VPN because it's being very nasty and hurtful to me. Apologies all around! As I write this, I am staring longingly at my 18i20. It is my friend. =D -------------------------- UPDATE 4 Now it won't connect at all, so we're back to one star. I re-installed it on both my Algorithmic Computing Machines™️, both the semi-mobile and mobile computing units, and it just won't connect for anything, by Jove. Is it angry or cross with me? My 18i20 is still great. To my 18i20 I say, "Sorry I had to give your remote algorithm a bad review, old pal." I still like Sandwiches®️, though. =D -------------------------- UPDATE 3 Nothing new to report, just checking in to see how everyone is doing. I'm doing fine. I had a nice sandwich for lunch, might go out to a Mexican restaurant with the family tonight. Cheers! =D -------------------------- UPDATE 2 Focusrite Control 2 seems to be connecting now. Maybe there was an update. Maybe it's Maybelline! Anyhoo, revised this to 5 stars because it is my friend. =D -------------------------- UPDATE 1 My review below is superseded by this one. The developer responded quickly, so that warrants an addition of stars. Unfortunately, I still spend more time connecting than controlling. However, I'm happy with my new interface. My 1st Gen 18i6 served me well for over a decade, and now my 4th Gen 18i20 is my very special friend. It sounds great and has bouncy lights. BOING BOING BOING BOING =D -------------------------- OLD REVIEW, ISSUE SOMEWHAT FIXED It has to reconnect every 2-3 minutes, and that's if you're successful in connecting in the first place. In a given hour, I spend 55 minutes trying to connect, 5 minutes with an actual connection. It also crashes often, more than I did in my high school drivers' ed class. That makes me sad and hurt with myself bigly and yuge. Awful! Terrible! Boo hiss! But the Scarlett 18i20 is great. It is my friend =D

I haven’t gotten this to work on my IPad even when my Mac has the focusrite control app on but I honestly could care less. I make music on iOS using GarageBand and on iPad using Logic Pro. PLEASE could you guys make an update allowing my 18i8 to be operated from my iPad via usb? I haven’t recorded anything yet but I know it’s going to be very tedious and annoying to have to connect my 18i8 to my Mac just to activate any settings. Allowing direct usb connection to my iPad would be perfect to avoid that. Thank you.
