The WIDI app is a dedicated application for configuring and setting all WIDI wireless Bluetooth MIDI devices (including WIDI Master, WIDI Jack, WIDI Uhost, WIDI Bud Pro, WIDI Core/CoreX, WIDI Thru6 BT and authorized products such as Kurzweil Air MIDI, Nektar WIDIFLEX, Xvive MD1 etc.). You can use this application for the following operations: * Update to the latest device firmware * Rename device * Set the transmit power of Bluetooth * Set the Bluetooth role to peripheral or auto mode * Set the performance mode for low latency or low jitter * Set the wired MIDI thru function * Set the group auto-learn * Activate the WIDI Master in test mode (red light condition, firmware version v0046 only) * Clear the existing group connection setting * Factory reset * Set up group connection * Link to online trouble shooting contents Note1: The group connection function requires firmware version v0136 or higher. Note2: The group auto-learn function requires firmware version v0166.
Crashes. Can’t create a group.
When I click on Download Group the app completely disappears.
UPDATE: (Does not) Break the device
UPDATE: the firmware update failed initially with an iPhone, but succeeded with an iPad. There seems to be a problem with Bluetooth cache in iOS. The device and app work great together. INITIALLY: The firmware update is the only option you have when you start the app. I left mine “updating” for an hour. Then a message: “the firmware update was aborted”. The Wido device has been bricked. It no longer connects to the app. Both the device and the app work together in this moment to guarantee that nothing works.
Clunky and unreliable
I spend more time fussing with this app trying to get it to work than successfully using it. It’s super glitchy and unreliable. Has killed more flow states than I can count. I am about ready to give up trying to use this poorly executed product.
Trash
Don’t bother trying this. Amateur product.
Version 1.5.2 works great for WIDI Uhost firmware updates
Version 1.5.2 works great for WIDI Uhost Bluetooth and USB firmware updates. I haven’t tried WIDI group auto learn yet (need an additional WIDI Uhost for iOS devices with MacBook Pro 13” M1). I’ll add to this review when I do that.
Updating firmware works (3/9/22)
Writing this review to say I updated the firmware on my UHost just now and it was super easy, very clear instruction with no problems.
Update
The other review here includes a solution that actually worked! Thank you!
- Improved connection difficulties caused by Bluetooth cache - Fix All Notes Off error - Added manual firmware update - Added automatic setting of Peripherals in group settings - Added grouping device ID display on the device information page
