Soundmondo - US

I’m really enjoying this app

I like the idea of using apps that are functional, but there are some major issues: 1. No app for Mac 2. Can’t back up setlists (they are stored in the app but if you reset your phone or reinstall the app, you lose your setlists). 3. Browsing sounds is tedious and frustrating. 4. Using the soundnondo webpage on iPhone or Mac doesn’t work in safari. 5. The QR method of loading sounds is one at a time and painfully slow. I just want a way to create my own setlists, back them up somehow, and load them easily for the CS. The DX can at least save sounds onboard. Somehow, Yamaha developers failed miserably with the user experience and won’t spend the money to fix it. Very disappointing. :(

Like all the others, I am unable to log in, after creating an account. I have an iPad Air 3, running iOS version 15.6.1

Simply the worst experience with this Yamaha product. The app has never allowed me to sign in and the Yamaha forum moderators are rude to users who have all flagged the same issue. Why this app is allowed to be released by Yamaha and further allowed to be published in the App Store is beyond my understanding.

Decided to give this a try despite the reviews and sure enough this app (and website) is worthless on iOS because you can’t do the most basic and essential of things in order to use it - log in to your account. You can create an account, which apparently is just a general account for the Yamaha website, not Soundmondo exclusively. Ok fine. You get a confirmation email that you’re signed up. You can then log in on the Yamaha website, but trying log in on Soundmondo is impossible. If you’re on the app, you just get the message “Failed to sign in. Please confirm your username and password.” And if you’re on a browser, you put in your login info and then it looks like you might be getting somewhere - you have to check boxes on some familiar looking user agreements, you have to check a familiar looking box confirming you’re over the age of 18, and then you end up looking at screen to create a new account. Somehow... trying to log in after you’ve already created an account sends you to create a new account?!? And if you put in your information again on the page to create an account, you of course get a message that your email is already in use. This is ridiculous and infuriating. Why build this whole community sound design sharing platform thing, marketed largely for mobile use, and then have it be completely unusable on iOS? Just weird and annoying.

What everyone else is saying is true. Current iPad, current OS as of 22 August 2021. It’s impossible to create an account, either through the Soundmodo app, or through mobile Safari. I keep getting an “invalid username/password” error when I try to sign up. When I try to sign in using the same credentials I entered to register my Yamaha devices, the app and website both kick me back out to the “create new account” screen. I’d be interested to know exactly how Yamaha has made this work on any of their test iOS devices. Or if they ever have. I don’t see how they could’ve. I’d be interested to know how other users have managed to connect. Many seem to be able to. I’d be interested to know how a company that manufactures some high-end synths and keyboards manages to release such an appallingly infuriating app, without any sense of shame at their abject failure to make it even slightly functional on the VERY FIRST STEP. This is a useless app. Don’t bother.
