Yes, let’s not labor under the delusion that the windows app is much better.Ditch the masochistic need to tether something to an IOS turd (though the turd is probably a shared one between the app and IOS itself but I digress)
Alt solution: Use the QC
Hey man! And TGP, man that place is stuffy to put it mildly
Be the change you want to see in the worldI think there are now more QC users on here than Kemper users
I am waiting for Kemper II : Tone-X Reaction Boogaloo to be released. Then I'll take another plunge!

Did you make false promises to push sales of said startups and then gaslight people who had valid complaints? And I'd be curious of what you think they are dealing with that honestly isn't self caused from their hype train marketing tactics
I worked at a small business as well (custom home theater) and we avoided shady marketing tactics in order to establish long-lasting relationships with our customer base. There’s no excuse for the shit Doug pulled in order to “crowdfund” his little pet project. If there’s one thing for sure. The MI market and community is small compared to other consumer electronics and small communities like this never forget.
I’m not inclined to excuse NDSP for failing to deliver on their own advertised features, but I’m with you 100% as far as the strengths of the QC itself are concerned. Not just in terms of tones, but also features and usability. Until something else comes to market that can match it, it’s my “alpha” as well. (I wish I had two of them: one to act as command central on my desk, and one for portable use. It excels at both applications.)LOL! With apologies to the QC haters I actually really love mine. The hype and promised features had nothing to do with getting one, after having my hands on everything at some point the QC ended up checking the most boxes for me so that's what I went with. I didn't plan on it being the alpha platform for what I do but it has ended up being what I use pretty much exclusively for practice, rehearsal, and gigs.
I am also on the opposite side of those being critical of the company at the moment. I grew up with my parents running a small business and spent the '90s neck deep in dot com startups so I know exactly what Doug et al are dealing with at the moment.
I remain entertained by the discourse in any case.
Accountability can take several forms, though. The most practical form being: people who weren't satisfied sent their QC's back to the retailer. Others sold, usually at a profit, with those used sales supplanting new sales. The denialism/ gaslighting/ general air of self-satisfaction was off-putting, but in the end, everyone and everything is subject to consequences.
As the biggest ‘naysayer’ of NDSP, maybe I’m a little out of line saying it, but let’s give the newcomers enough time to take off their jackets before going apesh*t on NDSP.
