## Review summary

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.
