Block Dashboard FAQ
Is Block Dashboard free?
Block Dashboard is not free (it costs 3.99), however it doesn't contain in-app purchases or subscriptions.
Is Block Dashboard legit?
🤔 The Block Dashboard app's quality is mixed. Some users are satisfied, while others report issues. Consider reading individual reviews for more context.
Finally this independent developer created an app for us using roli devices without having to use a mac to change grid and everything else for iOS apps.
It doesn’t work with Noise because it resets everything to default but for any other midi app is almost perfect. Only with Beatmaker 3 I didn’t get it to work properly because it seams to send only cc 74 instead of notes and velocity.
I would also suggest the developer to put the grid mode selection in the first page because we use it a lot and then please the possibility to save presets for all the many app we use.
I would also leave the lower part empty as we need to switch often apps with multi gestures and so we can accidentally press unwanted buttons. Thanks
Brightness
I’d like to be able to adjust the brightness setting. Using with my lumi keys (piano M). The option isn’t listed. It’s the one option I would like right now.
Glad you created this for iOS!
Works exactly as you describe. Would love it if you could add presets, so I could close the app, but would gladly buy it again and again.
Update: It’s a great app. Solves a big problem for us weird/clever ROLI users. Yes, scenes would be great…
Sadly, it doesn’t work on my (new) 13 Pro Max either! Pleeeeeeese…
Crashes
I purchased this Jan 28th 2025 to use with my Roli Lightblock. However, the app won’t launch. I am using it on my iPhone 13 Pro Max running iOS 18.1.1. Seems something changed since this app was last updated. And there is no way to reach the developer to ask for assistance. I am hoping I can at least get a refund since I can’t even get this to work.
Lifesaver for ROLI Blocks users on iPad
I just got a used Lightpad and this is a life saver. I work only on iPad Pro and this makes the lightpad useful. Without it, the pad was just stuck in one key and was essentially useless. I wish it allowed you to create surfaces and upload them, but I’ll take what I can get. Well worth the money.
Ahhhhhhhh
Stopped working. Pretty good when it worked.
This helps me a lot!
As a mostly-iOS LumiKeys user, I shared that group's frustrations about needing to go to another computer to change setting. This, while not the most elegant or friendly-looking interface you'll ever see, absolutely helps me get more out of the instrument. I can change key signatures and scales quickly, without disconnecting, and the more I mess with it the simpler it gets....practice, one might say, helps! And, finally, I can get some use out of the "light up the notes of the scale you've selected" magic, so it may even help me play other piano keyboards, eventually. Worth the price easily!
Works for me!!!
This works exactly as I wanted it to!!! If you’re looking for the ‘key’ function that is available on the ROLI dashboard, the ‘transpose’ function will result in the same behavior. Really cool. (Especially as Lumi Keys is not compatible with my surface pro 2). Big thanks 😍
If it doesn’t work I need money money back
Don’t think I need to tell you this I want it to work but it doesn’t effect anything.
It does work
Im sitting here with and iphone se (2022) and a gen 1 lightpad. the settings change and stay changed when i close the app
I had some issues 2yrs ago on my XS, maybe it’s different or maybe i just know more now
Would be cool to have studio features but it’s enough just to put it in single channel mode
