Hey everyone, We completely understand that **MetaGrid Pro is not just an app—it’s a tool you rely on for your work.** Whether you’re in the middle of a session or deep into your creative process, any disruption can be frustrating, and we take that very seriously. Some of you have asked why it’s not possible to roll back to previous versions of **MetaGrid Pro** on the **App Store**. Unfortunately, Apple doesn’t allow users to revert to earlier versions once an update is released. Unlike on Windows, where you can manually install an older build, the App Store always pushes the latest approved version—there’s no official way to downgrade. We want to assure you that **we do everything we can to catch issues before a release.** **MetaGrid Pro 1.6.5** was in **beta testing for over a month** , and we ran extensive in-house tests before rolling it out. However, the real world is unpredictable, and sometimes issues only appear once an update reaches a wider audience with different setups. **What We’re Doing Moving Forward** We’re not just sitting back—we’re taking action: ✅ **Expanding our Windows testing environment** to catch more edge cases before release. ✅ **Refining our testing process** to ensure even greater stability across different configurations. ✅ **Keeping a closer eye on early user feedback** to react even faster if something unexpected pops up. We truly appreciate your patience and support as we fine-tune MetaGrid Pro to be the best tool it can be. If you ever run into issues, please reach out—we’re here to help! 💙 Thanks for being part of this journey with us! — Przemek & The MetaGrid Pro Team ---

Thank you. I’ve long felt that MACOS has received the majority of attention from you guys as opposed to Windows, and that the Windows versions haven’t been released with the same care or amount of testing. I appreciate you taking action to turn it around. Metagrid is by far the most powerful iPad controller available, Apple users and Windows users alike. There really aren’t many desirable alternatives. ---

This is very good to hear, guys, hope you fix the things real quick. Metagrid is absolutely amazing and me and my team got used to it so much, that working without it became painfully slow and started ruining our schedules. This is the greatest compliment we can have for you, but it’s also a big commitment and responsibility for you, I guess. I hope nothing as serious as this appears in the future, because this is absolutely horrendous for all our studio. Greetings!
