Why would you make it for Android 10 and up? It's a simple app with no specials bells and whistles that might require v10. I have an older tablet that'd be great for it, but it's runs Android 8 and can't be used. Please, call your dev, tell them to re-package the app, this time not with the default settings, but for the minimal Android version actually required, to allow us to use it the way it should be used, on an old tablet sitting on the piano.

My Google Pixel 7 Pro (Android 13) cannot connect to my CLP745 via Bluetooth. This needs to be fixed ASAP! I connected with my other device, and noticed that the only way to save recorded audio is through Dropbox, really?? Overall the UI/UX is really bad: you click a button and don't see any kind of progress indicator, go several screens to do one thing (connect for example), which can be done in one scrollable screen. Overall UI is "outdated". There's a lot work be done in this app!

This app simply does not work for me. I have a new digital piano (P-515), and whatever method of connection I try to use, the app is unable to find the piano. Bluetooth, USB, WiFi - whatever I try, it just can't connect. I was really looking forward to using this app, and I'm very disappointed in it. Amazing piano, but a completely broken app.
