FracPad III App Reviews

The app works as advertised but mine keeps crashing when I go to the “cab” block. (iPad Mini 2 with latest OS) Crashing does not happen on my iPhone X. Turning the knobs on my iPad is a chore as the value jumps every time when I release my finger. On the iPhone it’s less jumpy which is nice.

Love using this with my axe-fx III and ax-8. So many features that really enhance performance options, especially when I don't want to lug around a foot controller for the axe-fx III. Highly recommend!

If you’d like to be able to stay at the mic and not disappear into a corner to fire up a full laptop to tweak your Axe Fx, this is a handy way to do it. Coupled with a Yamaha midi Bluetooth dongle for the Axe Fx, for about a 100 bucks this works well. App author is very engaged and responsive through the FAS forums plus Facebook page, with new features and improvements added regularly. It can get into a tug of war with the MFC foot controller sometimes, causing some lag issues so at this point

One of the easiest mobile editors available that’s super easy to use, and control the AxeFX3 via Bluetooth. Now anyone who loves simplicity of their rigs will find this as an excellent addition to their current digital rig. Alex (Developer) is one of the best in class for support, and development. Hands down best app of 2019 as mentioned in the title of the review.

Software works as advertised. Or did work. Same phone, usb cable, and Axe-fx3. My iPhone now shows no connection to axe-fx. Frac Pad 3 shows no connection. Before I tried using Frac-pad the last time, I was able to play Apple Music from my iphone13 through the USB to the Axe3. That no longer works. Frac Pad shows the connection screen/no connection/and the spinning yellow circle. Two other iPhones in the house can still plug into the usb cable and play music. Has Frac Pad affected a USB setting

I realize that for the programmers, it takes extra effort to make the app voiceover accessible, but, it simply means that this app isn’t accessible to me or other people with vision problems. Thanks.

It's a fantastic concept and I wanted to really like it. The app crashes constantly when using the functions that do work and many don't even work. The app is just unusable on my FM3. I just got a FM9 and it's much more stable and usable IRL.

I wanted to like this, but it doesn’t work as you’d expect on some things as simple as turning knobs, and things are buggy. That said, I think Fractal should really be bringing this dude onto the team and officially supporting this.
