This is amusing, at least. When you launch the iOS app the first time, it flips upside-down. If you switch away and back, it is in the correct orientation.
My device - iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 11.0.2.

What iOS app?
âKeyboard Maestro Controlâ
Oh, yeah, it opens upside down. Funny.
Edit
And UI-wise it seems it hasnât been updated since iOS 4 or so. On my venerable 6s Plus it displays like on an iPhone 3. Not that I care that much, just an aside.
Amazing, as long as Iâve been using KM, I was unaware of the KM iOS app.
As much as I know about KM, there is so much more that I donât know.
what a real treasure house! 
Downloading it now.

Youâre joking, right? You wonât tell us you didnât know of the famous Keyboard Maestro iOS app, right?
Well, just tried to do something with it, and I had to force-quit it because it froze.
But, basically, I think itâs a great app. [I hope nobody will be angered by the slight sarcasm of this and the previous posts ;)]
Roger that. One more thing you know that I donât, Tom. 
I just tried to connect, and it fails.
Very frustrating. After failure, you just get an error code, and you loose all that you typed in the connection screen.
@peternlewis, this is very low priority for me, but if you make any updates to the iOS app may I suggest that you allow the user to enter and save a connection setup, whether or not it fails.
I have the KM Web server running on my Mac, with a username and PW, and with the iOS app checked. But I canât connect. I have no idea why, or how to troubleshoot this. The KM Wiki needs to be updated with a lot more specific information.

It seems in this (exceptional) case you havenât been missing much
Your KM web server needs to be running.
KM > Preferences > Web Server > toggle on Web Server Enabled
set a username and password
Make sure âiOS Access Enabled (requires username and password)â is on
Itâs a decent way of triggering Macros on the local LAN but it doesnât work across routers*
- unless you expose the web server to the internet and I really donât recommend that.
If you do, make sure you have a good password and use only the HTTPS port.
Yeah, basically itâs a decent app. I was just mocking about the fact that the display still isnât up to iPhone 6s Plus (2 years ago or so), and that the app completely stalls when trying to connect to an inactive host.
As I noted above, I had already done all that. Still no joy.
Did you enter the port number explicitly?
I used the Bonjour advertised host and it connected no problem with my username/password.
Sure? I just set up the KM server on my MBP and could connect immediately.
Edit
You have to enter the name of the host as displayed in System Preferences > Sharing. I left the port at the default.
OK, that's different. I was using "localhost".
But still no joy with:
Any ideas?
To be sure click on âEditâ:
In my case âaliceâ as well as âalice.localâ works fine.
I will add a +1 to this. When you can connect, the app does its job, and is very valuable to me. But it needs some love, plus some UI updates.
