Reviews for TouchOSC

Absolutely amazing app for connecting your DAW with your touchscreen devices. This will change the way that you use your DAW. I’m a template maker and the depth of what I can do to build custom layouts for Reason (my DAW) is mind blowing but, even if you aren’t intersted in building templates there is […]

Could be awesome, but it feels like the dev is completely out of their depth. By the time I realized how lackluster mkII was, it was too late for a return. Save your money, time, and sanity.

The definitive MIDI/OSC solution for Android. Incredibly powerful and flexible. I’ve been able to create some really fluid and powerful multi-page controllers for Bitwig using OSC. Being able to add scripts on top has allowed some very interesting possibilities. Well executed application!

When the new version is a downgrade. Overcomplicated. No USB connection between PC and Android Tablet, even with Debugging enabled. And no refund option. Worst app that I bought for audio applications.

Installed this on a brand new Andr 10 tablet, installed the PC desktop editor & created a simple 4 fader layout w/ the desktop editor. Could not load a layout created on the desktop–crashed. UPDATE 11-20-2022 Finally had time to use Editor Network feature–it works! Enabled wifi, opened desktop edit app, then opened tablet app […]

The addition of the desktop application with the server functionality has really made this a outstanding application. Having more fine grain control with things like osc addressing creates many more possible combinations for creative setups. The fact that you can route to multiple osc hosts from a single device is another really great feature addition.

Hi,I’m absolutely impressed with this app and how easy it’s made my plugin setups on my Daw. One problem though,the pager has this glitch where when I move a specific fader,it changes the page and when I go back to the original page,it moves the fader to zero. Done all I could,the fader has no […]

PAID £9.99 for this app and it does not work properly. CRASHES the daw constantly. Does not send any midi data majority of the time despite being set up EXACTLY as instructed. Also the interface is terribly cumbersome. Seems set up also references obvious previous versions if the app because the pics shown are not […]

Great app. Works so much better than earlier version. Horrible documentation. You spend 10 minutes installing it and connecting to your computer, and hours trying to figure out how to create custom layouts. The online help seems to take you in circles, never really answering your questions. I messaged customer support, been 2 days waiting […]

Great tool to control your DAW. It took a while to figure out all the connections and the settings that need to be made in Cubase but once that was done, I’ve used it every day. Super powerful to launch macros and speed up workflow.

no bluetooth MIDI ! ✖️ what’s the problem with the ‘location’ permission? The same rule applies to any BT device! And the MIDI BLE app is no more developed or updated since years! It’s just a matter of time and it will end up being thrown out of the Store like it happens to a […]

This app (plus the desktop app) was so frustrating to use. Open Stage Control is much better. I started out with TouchOSC because I didn’t realize I could use Open Stage Control on a tablet via browser and now I will be using it instead, plus it is open source so I know it will […]

Ran into a ton of issues trying to import .touchosc files into the app. I downloaded a .touchosc file onto my Android device and tried to import it via the app, but the app must not be requesting the right mime types because the Files app then doesn’t make the .touchosc file available for selection. […]

Easily customizable once you get how the options work. Works even without WiFi network if you use your Android phone as a hotspot for your laptop. Customizability is endless. However, the mobile editor app must have a gesture to pan the view (my AutoCAD habits, I’d say). Having center zoom only makes it tricky to […]

The controls are pretty finicky and difficult to use on my phone (s21 ultra). The UI feels like a repurposed desktop design, so it’s not a smooth experience. The scrolling toolbar is a bad design and results in misclicks or clicks not registering. There is a similar problem with some menus, where clicks do not […]

1. Editor doesn’t work for me – I am not able to add any controllers. 2. I searched for an app to use my Android as a midi controller and wasn’t able to find TouchOSC, I found it from a friend who read about it on some forum. You need to add some tags to […]

The app’s functions is 10x better than the mk1. For android users to avoid latency and use it without WiFi connection, use USB tethering and set your phone as a hotspot and connect your laptop to it, or Bluetooth tethering which also has low latency and you can get rid of the usb wire. Support […]

Like the app, same as the previous one. I think most people wanting to use this are musicians, not programmers. Better documentation is essential, use-case examples, etcetera. Same problem with previous version. Maybe you could get people to share video tutorials instead of just the one from 9 years ago.

Love this app, incredibly versatile tool with style. Getting into it at first can be somewhat challenging, but luckily there is tons of documentation out there (on youtube as well) to help you get started. Once you understand the basics, there isn’t much you can’t do concerning slick looking custom remotes.

Yes, it’s only one scriptable osc app on market, after Lemur died. I bought it thrice: mk1, this version, desktop version. I wrote a ton of sequencers using it, it was fun. But Lord is my witness, script editor is abomination. Unusable on android tablet — small non-resizable editor, wireless keyboard behaves weird (cursor keys […]
