No iPhone X resolution compatibility. It hasn’t been updated in a long time and isn’t compatible with iPhone X (or newer) screen resolution. Otherwise works okay.

This app is great!. After struggling with some connection issues I am again able to connect to my Windows 7 64bit Cubase 9 installation and control it remotely. Great for recording from another rm when there is no second person to man Cubase. Make sure you follow instructions and ad SKI Remote to your Devices-Device Set Up-Remote Devices in Cubase. Thanks to Lars for his responsiveness!

Love this, BUT... The latest ios update created a bug that needs to be fixed asap! My ip wifi connection was disconnected and now the keyboard is all buggy preventing me from entering my ip address again to connect. Never was an issue before - Please fix the key keyboard asap!

A dissappointment. I have been a loyal Steinberg customer since 1999. I use Cubase, Halion, and Wavelab. Steinberg has always produced well thought out and well executed products, and their ongoing support of products has always been strong. A controller for an iPad seemed like the perfect solution to the related issues of a multi-room home studio. Naturally I assumed Cubase IC Pro would be my best choice. I could not believe it when I discovered that there is no accurate input metering in this app. Sure, the meters move up and down, and indicate that a signal is present, but you could be clipping the signal and never know it with this app. Without accurate input metering, in my opinion this is almost an useless app.

Great app - works as described. This program runs and does what it is supposed to, and I have not had any issues besides needing to reconnect to the host when idle for a little while - but that’s not a big problem. Steinberg is the best coding/software and the original midi DAW, especially for windows ... 5/5!!!

Works great after recent update. Moved recently and my play/recording space is now separate from my DAW/computer space. Love the level of control iCPro affords me over Cubase remotely.

Love it with 13 Pro. This is the one thing I missed when I switched from Logic Pro. Very happy they’ve updated it. I’ve seen this before years ago and was deterred by people saying support was dropped. I started looking again because I need a new keyboard and I don’t want another 100% keyboard, but the record, ffw, rewind, jump to beginning, etc. key-binds are on the number pad. Saw people say support was picked up again, so gave it a shot and not only was my problem solved with $16, but Steinberg ran it in for a touchdown imo. With Cubase IC Pro I can get a 60% keyboard and not only retain functionality, but gain more shortcut control over Cubase. My only suggestion is they make the project view grid switchable between bars/measures and time. I can only see time and can’t find a way to see measures, but that may be on me. Other than that, great job Steinberg team. Looking forward to using this more and seeing what else you come up with.

Just what I was waiting for!!!. I use cubase 6.5 , works seemlessly. Make sure Bluetooth is turned off on your computer before you try to sync though. Was looking for away to control cubase from another room while I record drums. Works perfect. Lets you control cue mixes and everything. Bravo!!!!!!!!!

Many bugs. It is a same that you are not taking care of this app all. We pay so much money for updates and you are not updating this app. This app is causing many problem and Steinberg is not paying attention at all. You are abusing the customers with this app. WE PAID MONEY AND YOU ARE NOT UPDATING THE APP. LOOK PRESONUS STUDIO ONE THEY HAVE A GREAT APP FOR THE IPAD. SHAME ON YOU

Cubase 12 not Supported!!!. Although it’s been more than a year that cubase 12 has been released, and the Cubase IC Pro updated last month, it doesn’t support cubase 12 yet !!! Why ?!!! Please solve this dear STEINBERG 🙏🏻✨

Great update. Thanks for updating the app! So happy to be using this again instead of the some of the alternatives. It works well on my devices.

Feature lite. I had expected much more from this app. Should have researched before purchasing, might have spend $32 more and went with V-Control. I might still do that. As of 2/1/13, there are really only three useful features. 1) remote control of buttons to fast path (keyboard shortcuts) to the feature within the host Cubase (in other words use IC PRO to click Open File, now go to host to choose the file) 2) cue mix access 3) basic channel strip controls (M, S, fader, pan, etc.), track marker control (goto and add only), and transport controls (play, rec, L, R, etc.). Among the numerous shortfalls, absence of means to return to previous start (double stop in host), track display does not show tracks within folders, EQ, Inserts, track edits, etc etc etc. They have Cubasis interface with it all, so what's the trouble...probably none, more like incremental (€/$) delivery. Check all resources/forums before purchasing.

Abandonware. App crashes when trying to connect if you have to enter an IP. No updates in 5 years according to version history.

Thank you for the update for iOS16!. It works now!!!!

Cash Grab. Does it work? No idea, gave up because you have to install program after program after program after program and then set up an adhoc network, waaaay to many steps for a simple remote app that should be free, especially since there are almost no features and they never update it, nice cash grab Steinberg

IP address entry impossible. I’m on iPhone and the app does not automatically see my DAW, so I have to enter my IP address manually for my DAW. Only thing is that after I place the cursor and type the first number for the IP address the interface goes away. I read one other review from one year ago about this issue and apparently the developers have not addressed this absolute roadblock of an issue! I’ve been a Cubase client for ages since the 1990’s and I am stunned that they would let a problem like this exist with their phone app. Being that I can’t use it at all, I give it 1 star. If there was a lower score I’d go there!! 🤬👎

Help. This app will no longer find my computer. Is there an update coming soon or what?

CubaseIC Pro Crashes On macOS. CubaseIC Pro now crashes every time you start it up. On the Steinberg support website it says this is a known issue which with MacOS drive and will be fixed on the release of the driver. Very disappointing.

Great app but update is way due. Love this app but it’s time for Steinberg to keep up with the competitors like Logic. Better UI more features, flexibility in dragging custom buttons and stability

Crashes - don’t buy. Crashing constantly. Doesn’t work at all.

Using with Windows 10. Use the pdf manual installation instructions on Steinberg site to install on windows 10, all of the other google searches for installation gives false for a ion..

Worked Right From the Start. Excellent! Doing exactly what it was designed to do: once setup per the instructions it did what it said it would do. Worth it!

Good but buggy. Using iPad Pro 10.5, iOS 11.4.1. App works well, but when customizing buttons / key commands, app frequently crashes. Might be related to dropped connections to Cubase, but in any case, any unsaved button pages will be lost and must be rebuilt after every crash. In addition, button pages named with a forward-slash character “/“ are NOT saved. No idea which other keyboard characters are not permitted, but I learned this by trial and error. In addition, I would really like to be able to export (iTunes, iCloud, etc.) saved button layouts to import into other devices running the IC Pro, rather than having to rebuild on each device. Steinberg - fix these issues and I will up my rating.

Crashes on iphone. I loaded up the app today on my iPhone. I connected to my desktop and my iPhone crashed. Every time I open the app, it crashes. Great work Steinberg next time make sure your engineers try it out in the real world before trying it out on us.

Great app! Bluetooth instead of WiFi would be great!. Great app. I wish it would use Bluetooth instead of WiFi as I don’t normally keep my recording computer connected to the internet.

Still love this app in 2022. I agree with some users that it would be nice if this app got some updates BUT it still works perfectly for me and never crashes. I think more and more people will use Apple’s newer sidecar feature so from a business perspective it might be tough for Steinberg to justify the expense of giving this app updates.

Desperately needs updating. This app is an indispensable part of my home recording setup as someone with no budget for a hardware DAW controller. That said, I’m disappointed that this app has been neglected for so long. Only utilizing roughly 80% of the available display real estate on the flagship iPhones (to say nothing of “Max” size phones) is unacceptable for an app of such great utility in 2020. I hope that the developers have something in the works for this app. If it were brought fully into the present like Cubasis 3, I would gladly pay another one-time fee or even a yearly subscription to use an updated version of this app.

Just crashes. No good. I don’t understand why a company as technologically advanced as Steinberg doesn’t keep an eye on their apps so they are not crashing. Open this app on the iPad and it loads cockeyed with panels hidden by other panels with an option to enter IP address. Start to type in address; crash. One of the reasons I purchased Cubase 12 pro was because there was the, supposed, ability to remote into the application using an iOS iPad. Please, fix this one?

i wish they updated. this app worked great years ago. im in a situation that this will be handy but it keeps crashing everytime i try connecting to my computer now.

After 6 years, it works again!. If you look at version history you’ll see that this app was abandoned by Steinberg, and I was Ted nearly 20 bucks… or so we thought! I see that a few months ago the dev team got back on it! I just noticed this tonight, downloaded the update, linked it up with the Remote SKI app, and it works beautifully. Instantaneous response, and a slew of buttons that are actually helpful, like a single tap to open the Pool or Media Bay or any of the mixers. Full transport control on the bottom… and the mixer faders are actually resizable and useful. FINALLY!

Does what I need it to.. Currently using this app while tracking a 5 piece band live. The artists enjoy it as they feel they have more “control” for their ears. Connecting to a PC was simple after you read the instructions and install the Steinberg Ski Remote on your PC/Mac. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!! Con: the app seems to loose connection to the PC every so often.

Support Cubase10. It`s not work in my cubase10 pro

Buggy terrible. I just spent 16$ on this app. It’s says it’s updated so the connectivity problems are fixed??? It completely gets stuck every few min and I have to clear the iPad screen and restart the app to work for a min and it gets stuck again. And there’s only mixer . Where is the instruments tracks so I can unable record any track on the fly ? How do I get the money back?

Very helpful tool. Super handy tool to remote control your sessions without using teamviewer or other apps. I use this a lot, so glad they got it updated and fixed w new iOS

Painful. I just bought this app and i cant do the simple things that I need to do. I use Cubase 10.5 Pro on a 2017 Macbook Pro with an i7 quad and an iphone 11 I need to trigger Arranger Events ( and that works nicely) however, as i try to rename an event, the keyboard becomes unusable. if i type a,s,or d, i'll only get the letter f for each. if i type q,w, or e, i'll only get the letter t for each Its killing me. Cant name anything. I need help really bad...

Doesn’t work!!!. Do not buy! This app should be refunded for anyone that purchased it. Shuts down whenever you try to input it IP address.

Perfectly compatible with Cubase. I’ve used Cubase IC since Cubase 7 and have never had an issue. This app functions like midi controllers that cost hundreds of $$$. You can use it on a phone or tablet and it keeps your work area free from wire clutter and extra boxes that only do one thing. Keep updating, Steinberg. It’s awesome!

Good App Needs Updates. From a post production side of the things the custom softkeys is great, but other than that the app is getting outdated. The last update was over two years ago, and it’s been so quiet that I feel like support for this app is abandoned. An update where you can auto-bank select track so it goes to the fader on the app would be great, and added panning controls would be great too. Avid’s Avid Control has surpassed it in a lot of ways, and that’s a free app.

This app is awesome!. I can't live without it at this point. It has become my right hand in the studio. I only record my own stuff, but it's drums, bass, guitars etc. Being able to record, arm tracks, mute, solo, and undo from across the building is fyucking excellent. This app keeps the creativity flowing. I've tried V control, and in my OPINION, it is worthless. I say so after going through three brand new routers, and countless emails, just to have it work for three weeks; and quit working again. No wasted time with IC Pro. It was plug and play for me.

Great Addition. This brought a great new flexibility to the studio

Couldn’t even log in. The app alters my keyboard strokes. Total waste of $$$.

Always been a good app if u run cubase. But im very disappointed to PAY for an app i used for free for years because the only way you can use it is if you already bought a copy of cubase. As a 9.5 pro user and using cubase since v3, im feeling quite betrayed. This should be included with your cu license. But its a great app so my 4.5* goes to 1* really but for sake of peace and prosperity ill keep it to 3*

Infinite loading screen.. not working after latest update 1.2.5. cubase 12. upd.: fixed by unblocking ESET Nod32 "firewall rule".

Very buggy and inconsistant. It works great when it works great. Why the heck don't they add freeze track to one of these buttons or key commands in Cubase 7.5? Anyway, I have had moderate success with this app. Now, for some reason, no responsiveness at all on the mixer page. I have the latest version of Cubase and the ski remote service. I've also reinstalled Cubase IC Pro on iPhone 5s and done a hard restart. Jeez, get it together. $17 for the app and $500 for Cubase. The least you could do is make it work. 2 stars because it's a great idea.

Works great. I record music by myself and I'm so glad to have this app. It easily allows me to record takes from the other room without having to walk back and forth to my computer. I gave it four stars instead of five because the options are fairly limited to basic recording. Can't set loop points from the app. I also don't like that the project is displayed in minutes/seconds instead of bars/beats. I hope this app sees more development. But as it is I'm very glad it exists.

Got working with Cubase 12 on windows. Just bought this app and worked fine with Cubase 11.5. Then I upgraded to 12 3 days later and it gets stuck “Connecting”. Turns out had to manually add Cubase 12 to windows firewall allowed (thanks Steinberg Lars). Working great now.

It works But not as I expected....... Sure it plays and stops but what else? The point of a controller is to control the whole thing... right? Save your time and money and get teamviewer on your iPad and computer....full control it’s like your Pc screen on your iPad! Oh wait it is your pc screen on your iPad.

Does not work with Cubase 10.5??. Can’t seem to get ic pro on my iPad Air 2 to connect to Cubase 10.5 AI on my Win 10 machine. No idea how to fix it. Tried different versions of iTunes on the pc (for the bonjour service) but nothing works. Stumped.

Trouble. Can’t even enter my IP to get linked to my pc

Way cool!!!. So far I have just been playing around with this, but oh my, it is just SO COOL!! I use a Microsoft Surface Pro 9 and an M1 iPad Pro, and it is kind of like having a double monitor, double keyboard, double touch screen version of Nuendo running! There are some frustrations of course. Chief of these being that it only seems to respond to the touch screen, and not mouse moves.

Basic yet useful. I have now spent a few months with this app and while at first it seemed too basic (I expected it to look and behave exactly like Cubase), now I see it as an additional controller to a mouse & keyboard, and for that purpose it is great. Also very useful for me when tracking drums. My whole band is on iPhones, and each can control their own cue sends via this app too. It still isn’t perfect, could use an update, and costs too much I think, but I’m honestly using IC Pro more often than the much better-featured and much cheaper (free) Avid control app.

Get Avid Control Instead. Cubase iC Pro is very barebones and definitely not worth the money. Avid Control is a far more feature comprehensive app and it is free. I have requested a refund for Cubase iC Pro and will be using Avid Control moving forward. Pros: - Setup is quite simple - The project navigation control from the app is very good. It allows you to navigate through the project and set bookmarks easily. This really really fantastic - but not enough to justify purchasing in my opinion. Note that Avid Control does not have this which is unfortunate. Cons: - The “shortcuts” are all mapped ok but they are not logically presented as with Avid Control. They seem as if they are an after thought. - You cannot click on the instrument in the mixer to select that instrument and there is no way to select an instrument other than scrolling with the up, down, left and right button shortcuts. Avid Control allows you to select the instrument using the mixer AND even has its own dedicated page for instrument selection. - The application hangs sometimes when selecting certain settings in the settings menu.

Mixer bug. The latest update does not allow you to adjust the pan for mono tracks (which is how most record audio tracks). This is a major limitation that was apparently flagged to Cubase forum in September, but, so far, there has been no response. Want my money back!

Excellent App, I'm liberated from my computer!!!!. I have Cubase 6.5, Mac OSX 10.6.8 and it is perfect with very little latency. The WiFi connection means I'm not limited to the proximity of my Mac. A WiFi extender makes it even better. Easy to setup with the latest downloads. Very easy to customise and it does what I tell it to. Cubase users get onto this and liberate yourselves!!!!!!!!!

Quite useful. I have only been playing around with it for a short amount of time. Positives: Shortcuts are great. You can create a shortcut for almost anything within the program. Is quite snappy and quick. Looks good. Cons: Can't use the full screen for faders as they are quite shot and you can't do fine movements

Awesome!!!. Used this tonight whilst in a writing session - so quick & easy to use, with all the features I've been waiting for in a remote for Cubase 6.5. Stoked! Well worth the large cost.

Price. :(

Thank you steinberg. this is really cutting edge, thank you steinberg

Works perfectly for 10.5. Works with Cubase Pro 10.5.20 thank you all for your efforts

Does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Being an expensive app, I appreciate if you’d add more features over time. Still, connects seamlessly with Cubase running on my Windows laptop and there’s no latency while moving the faders.

Great, Nice Improvement. A big improvement on the free IC, I have a lot more options for tracking - and even mixing - facing away from my computer. The price seems a tad high, but is cheaper than V-Control, but that's iPad-only; nice to be able to use my iPhone! Well done, Steinberg.

Not connecting to my PC. I have Cubase 12 running on a very powerful PC and I have tried everything that developers recommended, but my iPad is still not connecting to the computer. When I open the app my computer pops up, then I click on it and the circle keeps spinning until it says connection time is out… Very frustrating.

Ne marche pas. Je viens d’acheter IC PRO . Il marche pas! Il demande l’adresse IP puis il me dit "no computer found" J’ai essayé tout les possibilités sans-faute... Je veux que vous me rembourser SVP Merci

Broken. Still not working on iOS 16. Been broken since 15. Please fix it so I can use what I paid for. Thanks.

Great App - But it's Abandoned by Steinberg. After latest iOS update, the app won't load properly visually. It's unusable in its current state.

Awesome App. It works great with Cubase. Sits pride of place on my desktop. Bought a iPad just to dedicate it to controlling Cubase and this really works well. Love the programmable buttons, shortcuts and the GUI. Love that it works on both iPad and iPhone. Get it if you are an IOS user!

Very useful app but…... The one feature I would like to see is to turn off scrolling. This is a very useful app; I hope Steinberg continues to develop it. Lloyd

Great App - Works flawlessly!. Just purchased it and it works Amazingly Well !!! Editable, almost real time and a must if you want to remote control Cubase Pro 12 (in my case). I use it as well with a Elgato Stream Deck. Simple to install and works well, no issues at all. Hope you enjoy…

ios 16 update. since ios 16 i cant use this! please fix asap, it quits every time i try to type a name or search command please please please fix this!

Just use TeamViewer. This is a nightmare to install and doesn't work right. Save money and aggravation by using TeamViewer instead.

Abysmal integration and delayed implementations. Since forever ( decades) using Cubase/ Cubasis. With their controllers/ interfaces. Absolutely every time on any system- and annoyingly on OsX and iOS they recommend to not update the OS ( iOS, macOSX , etc). Because they do not develop, in advance the integration as any respectable developer. Even small ones. So there's an arbitrary wait period where Cubase is unusable until is made "com, then fixed, to restart the frustration cycle.

Essential app for serious Cubase users.. Cubase IC Pro might seem high priced for an app, but there is more to it than meets the eye, making it well worth the cost in my opinion. Although it works great as a remote transport control as you would expect, the hands-on multi-touch mixer operation does an amazing job of replacing a hardware mixing controller (even ones with motorized faders, which would obviously cost much more), and is way better than mixing with a mouse (or any other pointing device), particularly as you can move several faders at once if desired, exactly as can be done on a real mixer! The split level view on the iPad screen will display choosable combinations of "key commands" (should just be called commands); the project overview and the mixer. The app gets it's data directly from your Cubase project, so the mixer channels are labeled and laid out the same way, including automated fader positions, and the project overview mirrors your project. I have an expensive hardware digital mixing console, but I found this app to be an even better and quicker experience for performing mixing automation. The project overview section is there for visual feedback only, as there is nothing you can do other than set locators (although there is no snap function). Still, this seems adequate and visually useful for the purposes of this app. The commands section is extensive, with several preset collections available, as well as allowing you to create your own set of commands. Although the selection is extensive, not every command is possible. For example, transport commands for changing recording modes are not present. Unlike other reviewers, I haven't experienced any reliability issues, and I've used this app on three different systems. For me, this app has become an essential and extensively used app, which makes it an excellent value. Highly recommended, especially for the mixer control functions.

DONT BUY IF U DONT HAVE SOFTWARE"!!!!!. I got every recording app have ,,and these apps should be more discriptive when they have a app right next to it that does function and the next one is jus controller ,, that's y I would stay away from commercial apps like cubasis and so on ,, READ THE DISCRIPTION IF SAYS CONTROLLER

Perfect. This app on iPad Air + cubase 8.5 pro ...works perfect . Love being able to run everything by myself while in the booth , quick and easy , thank you Steinberg..best thing since sliced bread

Rip off. Same issue. Don't bother $16 bucks and 2 hours lost trying to set this up. I'm literally deleting the app and btw read the privacy agreement, it's ridiculous.

Works great. I love this app. I can now easily control Cubase from anywhere my WiFi connection can reach. That means no more fumbling to reach the keyboard from across the room when recording guitars. When I'm in the vocal booth, I can do everything I need without going back to the computer.

Excellent app. Takes a bit of learning and customizing, and there's room to improve still. For example, I'd like to have the ability to rearrange ordering of the key command settings screens. Still, it's a very nice compliment to Cubase 7.

Transport buttons could be a bit larger. This is an excellent controller app but the transport buttons are too small for me.

Broken in iOS 10.3 .... Don't buy it now.. When it works it a great asset!

Its not compatible with IOS 5 . But it says it is here.....wasted 16 dollars. Please fix the description that says it works with 5.0 and above. On your web site it says IOS six and higher. I just got duped for 16 bucks ! Can you please refund me?

Cubase iC Pro!!. This app is indispensable to my home studio. I have the app installed on my iPhone 8 and my Apple iPad 6th Gen and it works perfectly. When ppl say they are having problems with the app I don’t get it. I don’t experience any dropouts on my 5G WiFi network. I’m running Cubase 10 Pro 10.0.30. Thank you Steinberg!

Working configuration.. App is working perfectly in Nuendo! Although not exactly listed on the site the SKI driver is working with this app in the following config for me: Nuendo 7.0.2 Mac OS X 10.10.5 iMac 27" Mid 2011 Works flawlessly on iPad & iPhone, both running iOS 9. I used the iPad version to control transport and delete takes while recording some Of my own VO today. Simple tools but very nice to be free from mouse and keyboard when in the creative zone.

Bobl. Sure it is a fantastic remote for cubase.......but........no bars and beats option on ruler. Really! .?

black screen on my ipad 1 under 5os. did not work on my ipad 1 iOS 5 wasted 17 dollars on this app so sad :S

Great remote (Cubase 7). I've used quite a few daw remotes from the App Store to control Cubase, including Lemur and V-Control, and this is by far the best of them. Extremely easy to set up, and it includes all the key commands and shortcuts in Cubase, which is easily my favorite part of it. Great work, hope they keep updating with features.

False advertising / update?. Straight out the gate I'm giving this 3 stars at best because it says the price of this app is $16.99, but then they go ahead and charge you $18.26. W.t.h. The user interface needs a major overhaul. It simply doesn't flow well, and most of the buttons don't work properly. The graphic rendering for wav forms needs to be updated. Also, wow...does this thing like to crash or what. Nice idea. Does very basic functions. 3 stars.

Support. No Cubase 5 support. Waste of money

LOVE IT!!. I downloaded this app on iPad & iPhone and was up and running within 5 minutes. This is the perfect compliment to Cubase 7.

Crashes immediately. I can’t even add my IP address. As soon as I try to enter the first number it crashes right away. I’ve reset everything and tried again. Same issue. I use Cubase 11 Pro.is it not supported at all? If that’s the case then this app needs removed as I upgrade my DAWs yearly. Is it even possible to get a refund on this mess?

Don't buy. A waste of time and money. The screen shows blank, no information nor audio parts on the ipad/iphone. Tech support couldn't help me and wouldn't refund.

Does not work with 10.3.1. Was broken on the update. Don't see them rushing to fix. I'd certainly not buy now!

AWFUL!! Stay away!!. This App is garbage and crashes every time on iPad 2 retina and iOS 9.0.2. False advertising and waste of money. Shame on Steinberg/Yamaha.
