App & Bluetooth Fail Befuddling for UA Product
Majority reviews below already speak to the shortcomings that make it essentially useless to comment on the actual sound of the pedal. The app and Bluetooth functionality is so poor that it's borderline inappropriate to sell this version of the pedal (certainly not compared to any other UA product I have used or read about). The UAFX app is terrible for any pedal, but for the Ox Stomp it's the only way to use the damn thing. It's an unacceptable miss that everyone rightly expects to be corrected "yesterday."

Sounds great but app SUCK
It sounds great. But the app man what a hell! We need a desktop app!! then it deserves a 5 star rate

The sounds on this are great and (unlike the overpriced OX box) this will be a new fixture on my recording rig, however, two glaring issues hold this product back: 1) the app is terrible and makes demoing the different capabilities of the pedal extremely tedious. The adjustment controls are covered by my fingers and are difficult to fine tune. My phone decides to go to sleep while I'm verifying the sounds and then, well, it's another slow process to reconnect the phone app to the pedal. Terrible. Make a desktop app. Like the OX Box. 2) The inability to blend different speakers and combinations of speakers and mics is really a missed opportunity. IR loaders usually have this feature and it's an obvious miss from UA. I would love to blend several speakers/mics on output 1 and then use output 2 for the direct signal only. This would make the pedal perfect. Until then, UA is missing the boat.

Great speaker emulator, needs Desktop App
Very happy with the cab sounds I’m getting from the OX Stomp. Easy to setup, no issues getting the OX Stomp firmware updated. Setup the app on my iPhone and was able to connect.
Only issue is, I have one eye, so trying to tweak the settings on my iPhone is a hassle. Since there is no Desktop App this makes it hard for me to use. I do have 20/20 vision in my one eye, but having a Desktop App for us visually challenged musicians would be very helpful.
If it had a Desktop App I would give it 5 stars.

Found a way to get the app working
This is an update to an earlier review. I finally got the iOS app stable and I'm enjoying great tones, but still only give it 3 stars due to frustrations of the app. The problem is that the app isn't really suitable in the day-to-day context of how you use a phone: if you flip to another app, or if your phone locks, or if you get a call etc, the app will often loose connection.
Like many people, I have my phone set to lock after a minute or so of inactivity. This is the first thing you have to turn off: if the phone locks, the app can lose connection, and you're in a world of pain. After I discovered this, it's been mainly good – as long as no one calls me! (You need to remember to re-activate screen lock once you've finished using the stomp, a bit of a pain).
All this obviously points to one glaring fact: relying on a phone app to control this type of device isn't really suitable in the real-world context of how a phone is used, especially if you want to use it in a long session to explore and tweak tones. UA, please please give us a desktop app that would solve this major usability issue, and maybe it could get 5 stars.

Just not reliable
As others have stated, amazing tones but I just dont have the time to be run through the mill everytime l want to edit a patch. Going to be shooting it out to see if its worth keeping or take it back

w. noah
I just need a stable Mac OS ！
it is so less stable ，the iOS always say“ restart your pedal ”to me！I will crazy！it wasting my time now！！！
C. Kieninger
Would be perfect if there was the desktop app…
As the title says, I am a long time user of the ox box and now also bought stomp to possible replace the ox box, as I also own the best attenuator on the market - so the ox box seamed overkill additionally. The whole sound experience is the same - but it doesn’t have the absolutely beautiful desktop app the ox box has and has no digital out… if those two factors could be solved it would be the perfect device

App is beyond terrible
Pedal sounds decent enough, but I just can't explore its potential as I just can't get the app to work. I also have a Ruby, which previously worked fine in the app. On receiving the Ox Stomp, I upgraded everything to the latest versions. First time I tried to connect to the Ox Stomp, it just instantly crashed the app. Once I removed the Ruby from the app (obviously not ideal as I want to use that too), I finally managed to connect... once. Since then, I can't connect, I constantly get a 'try to reconnect your pedal' or 'forget the device and re-pair'. Come on UA, this is really poor. This pedal cost a significant amount - £380 - and I can't really use it. Please prioritise upgrading the app. Or better still, release a desktop app.

UNUSABLE APP!!!
First, the Audio Quality is UA Standard, top notch! But the APP is horrible! I tried iPhones, iPads and Android Devices. In a Recording Situation this unit is absolutely USELESS because the app crashes all the time, looses connection and doesnt find the pedal. The sliders jump around when you touch them and settings get lost. Why is there no desktop app?! It is needed so badly!
J. Cardoso
Great sounds, bad app
The unit sounds awesome but it's a pain having to go through the app. Keeps getting disconnected and then I have to reboot my pedal for it to connect again and it's just not possible to do this in live situations. Kind of a bummer, but it has tones for days.
S. Bobrov
inconvenient to use
each time you login , you must enter authorization . Why does the studio client need my account information ? Bluetooth is not stable connection
F. Orcesi
Extremely faulty bluetooth connection
I've had for 10 days, and only able pair it's bluetooth once. It's really frustrating.
J. Kim
Good Job UA! Just one thing to say.....
Other guys already said same things about BT-APP issue. I hope UA fix asap. Other than that, it's just perfect gear for my recording project.
J. Kulin
Awesome, but…
This is just amazing, the sounds are superb and the tonal options are endless. My only problem is (similar to other reviews) that it is very hard to make fine adjustments and often I can’t even see where the sliders are under my fingers when using the ios app, which makes it really hard to tweak each rig (especially on iPhone). Please UA, if you could fix this issue the whole experience would be flawless. But right now, while I give it a 5 star rating on sound quality, it gets two stars at the most on app usability.
