Can't get WIDI Master to work with Android

I have Band Helper all set up and working on a iPad. However, the person using the keyboard has an Android tablet and while the WIDI Master software says "connected", the MIDI presets do not work on the Android.  They work perfectly on the iPad.

I found a thread from 2022 where Arlo says that WIDI Master has compatibility issues with Androids, but the app is offered for Android so I don't get it. It's been 3 years so perhaps that has changed?

Any help is appreciated.

Please click the MIDI button in the top toolbar. Is the Widi listed under Connected Ports? Are your outgoing MIDI messages shown in the Activity Log?

There is no MIDI button in the top toolbar and there doesn't seem to be an option to add it.  The MIDI button I have on the set list/song screen is not grayed out but does nothing when you tap it. Does not even change color like it does on the iPad when the MIDI presets work.

If the MIDI button isn't showing in the top toolbar, you can turn on Settings > Appearance > Top Toolbar Buttons > MIDI. The settings in your screen shot are for buttons that are a part of the layout and only appear in the set list view.
