User Reviews

Bluetooth MIDI Connect is praised for its ease of use and true wireless MIDI with MicroKey Air on iPad, enabling cross-app playback and travel-friendly setup. However, multiple reviews highlight persistent Bluetooth problems after iOS updates (devices appearing but not connecting or dropping quickly), reliance on firmware updates with broken or unclear links, and weak customer support. When compatible, it works well; otherwise, setup remains fragile and frustrating due to inconsistent compatibility and guidance.

Pros

Easy to use; described as the easiest BLE MIDI app and it just works.
Allows true wireless MIDI with MicroKey Air and works across multiple apps on iPad.
Cable-free setup makes it travel-friendly; once configured you can use keyboards wirelessly.

Cons

Bluetooth connectivity is unreliable with MicroKey Air on iOS 13+; devices often appear but fail to connect or disconnect after a short time.
Firmware/driver updates are required for compatibility, but update links or instructions are frequently broken or unclear.
Support and communication from KORG are perceived as unhelpful or slow.
Some MicroKey variants are not discoverable or fail to pair on newer iOS versions despite the app being installed.

Recent reviews

KORG is notorious for terrible drivers on Windows and sporadically on iOS. BLE MIDI app worked for a while but now detects Microkey for a few seconds before disconnecting. KorgUSA responded they are sorry I’m having problems and fob me off on their software support which just autogenerates a message it’s not their problem.

Needed this app with my Korg Microkey Air which I was hesitating to buy since they were many reviews, stating that it would not work with Bluetooth. After adding this app, but keyboards works great on all keyboard and synth apps my Ipad pro, resulting in true wireless experience as no cables / hubs etc are connected which is ideal for traveling. It is worth noting that is app is only used once afterwards you don’t need to open it anymore. It is not active. Hope this helps!
