Spider Remote

Issue is it's an incredibly tedious process to get the app to even recognize it is connected to the amp. So whats the point if it doesn't work almost 85-90% of the time? Disappointed in this overall, when it works it's cool but it probably won't. Don't waste your hard earned money, look elsewhere for a more practical and reliable system set up.

Delete the app and restore it with new. Ask for reset of password, after reset it should work. It did for me. App is very useful and very applicable for my iPad and SpiderV240 amp. Love it, very useful.

Not sure about all the hate this app is getting. I’m new to this app but so far it’s pretty easy to use and it’s super cool. There’s a lot of customization to finding awesome tones. Also you can upload and check out other people’s tones too. It’s pretty sick!

It’s amazing technology, maybe I appreciate it more because when I was younger this would’ve seemed like science fiction. Having all these effects in the app, creating presets, using the excellent presets that come with the app to as well as downloading presets from the Internet, it’s amazing functionality. But I wish it had a bit more functionality like the things you can access from the itself, like the metronome or the tuner, because I don’t play writing in front of a app and I have to get up every time I want to use the tuner. And it has one bug, which is that if you switch to another app in your iPad, and then go back to this app, it’s frozen and there’s no way to bring it back other than killing it and then open it again. Not a huge deal, but still it’s a bog and hopefully they will address it.

I keep getting bad links for password resets

Doesn’t control my spider V. Defaults to the first preset. The Spider tab is grayed out and unclickable

The app is well designed to customize and store tones for the modeling amp. however, the app freezes anytime you change apps (any-YouTube, metronome, etc. ) and attempt to return to it, forcing you to quit the app and restart it. Apparently this bug has been going on for a while based on other reviews and I’m hoping the developer will fix it soon.

It’s not good enough to sell amps and advertise them as a peripheral devices that profit from the cloud if the app that allows one to do that is 4 years old and crashes without any buttons being pressed. I feel cheated.

You can’t switch to another app like YouTube for too long. Once you come back, the connection to the amp is lost and the only way back is to force close the app and restart the app

1. App frequently crashes/ freezes and needs reboot. 2. App frequently signs you out of your account, locking you out of your saved tones until you sign back in. 3. Not many user created shared tones in the cloud. Overall its fine, the software for the app needs to be entirely rebuilt for it to be reliable. That being said, you can find some nice tones on the cloud for popular artists/songs and for that reason it gets 3 stars because thats really what its for even though its a pain to use sometimes. Its worth getting if you have a spider.
