I tried not using their app but it was unreliable.
Use the app.
Don't ask me the details of the trouble, it was several years ago.
However, I can tell you I use just the 4 buttons, in CC mode (control change).
They are assigned to Midi channel 16 and controller numbers 80, 81, 82, 83.
In BH, App Control, I chose Midi input port: Blueboard, channel 16, button style Latch.
Key repeat timers 0.2 and 0.5
Down in the Actions section (Choose ALL actions or many are hidden - my choices of button layout - in order of those choices in BH):
Next Song - General Button 4 (cc83) - Next song
Scroll doc up - " " 1 (cc80) - Scroll up AND previous song when it gets to the top
Scroll doc down - " " 3 (cc82) - Scroll down a bit
Reselect cur song - " " 2 (cc81) - Start song
Some nice Dymo labels on the buttons and it has worked ever since.
I did get inside and cut the circuit board tracks feeding the 4 button LEDs, mostly because they go on and off with alternate presses of that button, which was annoying, but it seemed to me that I would save some battery life too.
You have to run the Blueboard app every time, to choose the Bluetooth device to talk to - the iPad for me. It's easy.
