Does the job. This was more than I expected. I just wanted a practice amp. Buzz doesn't bother me. Anyone who has owned a high gain amp should know how to dial it out - especially with the noise gate pedal. The record function is great. I can lay down ideas without setting up my whole rig and computer. The files are convertible to songs, which means I can make practice tracks for my drummer; that is boss.

BEWARE!!!!!!! Multi Track Recorder is RUBBISH. This app is fine as a stand alone guitar amp emulator. HOWEVER do not purchase the multi track recorder. It will not isolate the playback from what is being recorded. In other words every track that is playing is also routed back into the record track and it is a total mess., making it total useless as a multi track recorder. I contacted customer support and they gave me a BS answer that the input and head phone jack are too close on iPad. ABSOLUTE RUBBISH I use the i rig with garage band and it works flawlessly . I wish i had purchased garage band first and not this piece of junk. I have tried in vain to receive refund but to no avail. Save your money and buy garage band far better and has great amps in it also. AMPLITUDE IS RUBBISH AS A MULTI TRACK RECORDER BEWARE

Good Tone, Horrible UI. I know that Amplitube is all about accurate emulation. In that respect, it’s pretty good. However, as matter of personal taste, I absolutely loathe skeuomorphic interfaces, especially inconsistent ones. What possible place does a tape deck graphic have in a modern mobile app? It just takes up valuable space that could otherwise be used for, you know, actually putting in useful control surfaces. This is just one example. The developers clearly have conflicting goals: - Guitarists won’t buy our emulations unless it looks like the real-life gear they are used to using. So, all emulations get a skeuomorphic interface! Yay! And consistency be damned! - where it’s not an emulation, do something cute like a tape player; or console channel strips! Yeah. They’ll eat that right up! - Now, use the space left for modern buttons and stuff! It’ll be totally confusing! How do you adjust the metronome volume? You can’t, apparently, without knowing where the metronome signal is being routed; which seems to be nowhere. I blame boomers.

They do NOT support bass players. The free version of software and even the iRig box itself all say that it supports bass guitarists. It's a lie. There are no bass heads or cabinet models available in the free version of the software. After shelling out $40 for the iRig, it should be expected that I get some love for playing bass like it says on the frickin' box. NOPE!! you get to play through a guitar amp model. I even emailed Support. They told me to adjust the eq if I wanted more bass. I told him I was ripped off. He said that if I wanted stuff for bass guitar, then I have to buy the add-on software. SAVE YOUR MONEY! If I had followed through, I would have spent over $65 just to be able to use their product as it is advertised. NO THANKS. At that point, you could pick up a really cheap used practice amp and get by. FAIL.

Purchases go away. I bought the full version that includes all amps, which I believe costs $150. After a while it stopped working and IK Multimedia had me re-upload the app. After that my purchase of the complete version was not recognized and I could not access all amps. IK support told me to re-purchase and they would populate for free. A bit skeptical, I did not want to take a chance on losing another $150, so I tried to buy a “SVT pack” for $25; it did not repopulate but instead charged me another $25. Stay away from this app, unless you like to get ripped off AND have an app that does not work properly

Good product - no customer service. Tried calling customer service with an issue and a couple questions. I got a recorded message on a loop saying to fill out the forms online and wait for them to contact me. I don’t spend time online and I’m not interested in filling out long forms and waiting days for a response. I felt with this issue with this company 2 years ago and go nowhere. Now I have another issue with something I downloaded in the past week and if I can’t get someone on the phone you might as well not have any customer service at all. No prompt customer service = no customer service. I grew up in a business. It did well because the customer service was top priority. Apparently that’s a lost sentiment anymore.

Absolutely amazing!. As a gigging guitar player with years of experience and having tried tons of gear on the market, I am absolutely blown away by Amplitube and the matching iRig interface! I have been playing with the software and the interface for a couple of days on my iPhone 4 and second generation iPod and have gotten a tone with the free version I didn't think were possible. I will be trying with my girlfriends iPad and will more than likely upgrade to the full version soon. This with a power amp and 4x12 cabinet may become my live setup..., we shall see soon enough!

No problems!. IPhone 4s ... Not sure why there are negative reviews? But I've had it loaded and used the hell out of for the past 24 hours. It ain't like sittin with you rig but duh!!! You must register your device before it works 100% but the instructions tell you that. It works fine people. I bet any pay stuff would work better. I am hoping to be able to use while I'm playing iTunes. Have not figured that out yet.

Very good practice device. I bought the PRS cables and the jam amp. The jam amp, amps and cabs and guitar fx deluxe apps, While decent little guitar rigs, distort really easy, and feedback when using active pickups. The free Amplitube rig has it's threshold as well, but with the noise gate feature, this is reduced quite a bit. Tone wise, through passive and active pickups, this thing rocks! Using the PRS cables is perfectly fine, for those of you who bought them like myself. The amp is very responsive, and the distortion has a ton of bite. I am not very impressed with the delay, but it does add a dimension to the tone, and makes it fun to play with. The tuner works great and is almost exactly in tune with my line6 podx3. The jam amp app is not. If you want something to record an album on, this might not be it. But it goes much farther than other apps of it's kind. I plan to expand to the full version now that I have had a chance to play the free setup. If you want a great practice amp, and free is your kind of price, this is well worth the money... And register to get the free distortion box! I give it four stars, because it still does feedback a little, and the delay is not fully realized in this version.

Awesome, but no multitasking??. This is great. I just bought a guitar and am using this for my amp plugged into headphones or speakers. The one thing that is a huge dissappointment is that there is no multitasking. I'm new to guitar and would love to be able to use Tabs Plus or other guitar apps while running Amplitube. Also, for all the bells and whistles and in-app purchases, this app is almost $50. Not bad for such extensive software, just a warning if you are looking for lots of free stuff. Five stars if they allow background audio / multitasking in a future version.

Sounds Good. Just played around with the free version and the included loops. Using the interface is very intuitive. Sounds decent through headphones. Was wondering how a previous poster was able to use a camcorder cable to connect his guitar. I tried using the yellow rca end to connect the guitar (via a female rca to 1/4 adapter), and using the red and white rcas to connect my headphones. The headphone signal worked, but the unit didn't recognize any guitar signal coming in....

Decent beginnings. Make it stereo output and I'll buy it. Reverb and chorus just sound best in stereo. Here's a few ideas for future: Add a floor controller that plugs into the 30pin connector. Give the floor controller a wah pedal. If the iOS4 won't support the higher processing demands of stereo processing, put the DSP in the floor controller and make the iOS device the editor/librarian/display only. Perhaps use the accelerometer/gyros for controlling different parameters (like wah). you could make the spring reverb, in the amp models, clang when you bump the iphone (kind of cheesy). How about an impedance transformer built into the iRig interface?

Acceptable practice tool; Terrible Looper. I think the sound (for all that I can hear w/ the "Free" version) is better than my iShred Live. Over all sound was less muffled at the expense of sounding more 'tinny' but clear. The UI is represented w/ a cleaner graphic w/ more sound options (cab, mic...) than the iShred Live. But as a practice tool, I need the looper to be more functional. Why is Amplitube not updated w/ ability to playback directly from the iPod library? And BTW, I'm using the Griffin cord (the one I bought when I began using iShred Live), so I don't want to be reminded each time I invoke this app to buy the iRig. My set-up worked just fine.

Great idea, needs work. Ironic that the app crashes when I try to browse "add gear" - Especially since there's a LOT of gouging with IK. IK COULD become my go-to for all my original music needs, BUT: I bought Vocalive but there doesn't seem to be a way to incorporate the effects with other IK apps, and now they want me to buy the effects I already have via in-app to use them here. No AudioCopy/Audiopaste is a HUGE disappointment and an easy fix to the problem. I have iRig, iRig mic, and I'm registered with both Amplitube Free apps as well as having a couple of the percussion apps. I see no reason to buy the full Ampliutube versions since I'm only interested in a few effects, which I can buy separately and which are not included in the full versions anyway. The hardware is good quality and fair value, although iRig is proprietary (iRig works great with Amplitube and with a couple other apps but feeds back with many competitors. Peavey Link is not proprietary - it works on any modeling app - but it's a cheaper build, more bulky, and requires batteries). The software needs to be intra-compatible to be really useful. For now I'll use Amps&Cabs and Riot FX for practice, FourTrack and MultiTrack DAW for recording, and Vocalive as a toy. Make IK work universally with other IK and I'll throw another hundred bucks their way tweaking my gear - but I'm not sinking another dollar into IK until they start showing repeat customers some love. ~D!

New Version May Work Better. Update: I reinstalled the app and the knob fuzziness cleared up. I agree with another reviewer that the bass guitar sound is often muddy. It is sometimes a little distorted on the extreme low end, this could also be the iPhone limitations. I think it must lose something between the cabinet and the mic in their sample. Also it would be nice to bypass the cabinet and just use the head. It has a funny frequency in the bass sound that is hard to EQ out. I do like the Ultimate Tuner that's in the app but could care less for the drums and recorder for now. They should have put the effort in making it a great bass app before moving on to drums and recording. It might be good for professional use like some of the other apps I have for Bass Guitar. I just haven't tried it yet on stage.

Where are my purchases?. I purchased a number of stomp pedals and they are not showing up.

What a GREAT App!. Amplitube is such a great app. I purchased the full version of the app a month ago. Before I purchased Amplitube, I tried two other guitar apps to compete with it and nothing beats Amplitube. The app has great sounds with clean tone and distortion, including other effect pedals and quality brand amplifiers that are used by famous musicians. Everything in Amplitube is amazing. I recommend this app to everyone who is a beginner or a professional guitar player.

Finally. Well first try and buy amp for $40 and not have any buzz, u won't. Look at this for what is an amazing tool to become a better guitarist. The difference between a guitar player and a guitarist is one plays and the other is an artist hence the ist like in the difference between guitar player and guitar(ist) so this app is not meant to replace your rig. Quite complaining about apps and go practice

Isn’t working. It’s not working, I plug my guitar but it’s barely any sound

Nice App. Current version I have (?) appears to have a small bug when creating a new label to record, need to unplug / plug the iRig back in. Otherwise you might think its broken. I love this app, even with the prices I think it's well worth it. Getting the bundles will save. The best part is being able to play just about anywhere without really disturbing anyone. Or, you can disturb. 5 stars because I felt it deserved it. Appears the programmers take pride. Perhaps they play as well

Built to for up-selling, not functionality. I'm a big fan of Amplitube and other IK Multimedia products. They sound great and are easy to use. Unfortunately, IK Multimedia fell short with this app attempt. Although the included features are fair, the app is designed around ease-of-use of the offered feature set, but for selling additional items. Rather than offer an in-app market place, Amplitube simply shows you missing spaces and if you accidently touch them it informs you that you are about to make a purchase and asks you to confirm. For example, in the recording application you are offered a single track for recording. If you touch the space of the missing tracks you are only one click away from an accidental, and expensive, app purchase. I was hoping this free version would inspire me to purchase Amplitube and provide a user friendly experience. Instead, it made me skeptical of any IK multimedia IOS offerings.

Good for jamming. There you go, this app is great if you just want to make some loops and play along. Most of the in app purchases are fair, and don't cost too much. The problem is the recorder, that thing is a piece of garbage. I say this because it isn't just a nice simple recorder which allows you to record songs. Instead it's a freaking monster. You only get one channel to work with and you aren't allowed to easily use your loopers while recording! That thing took 20$ from me. If you want to jam it is a good app. If you want to record go find a microphone.

Effects work and then they don. I recently downloaded the app and registered on-line. Day 1 I loved the sound, distortion, and delay. Day 2 I turned on the amp and effects tuned up using the tuner on the app. None of the effects worked. Even though I cranked the nobs and switched the pedals on (with red light) and off. I went to itunes to see what others were saying and saw that there was a love hate review there. They loved it when it worked but others were seeing what I saw. I rebooted my iPhone and then "hard" rebooted by pressing the top button and the button on the front of the phone. Guess what??? Everything worked again. I went to the tuner turned it back on and guess what, nothing worked. I hard rebooted and could repeat this again. Just thought you would want to know. A fix would be nice, since I like the tuner and overall the sound is great value for the money.

Customer Support?. So I bought an iRig a few years back, was super excited to be able to get my hands on some of my favorite equipment in digital form. I got the paid version of AmpliTube and bought the Mesa Boogie pack and a cabinet and mic. A few months later my phone broke and I had to get a new one. When I redownloaded the app on my new phone, all my purchases were gone, and the “restore purchases” option didn’t work. I contacted customer support and they said they would look into it. I never heard back from them and haven’t been able to actually get someone to help me since. As a musician on the go, the ability to have great gear fit in my pocket is essential, and having my purchases not saved to my account seems like a really odd decision on the development side of things. I can’t afford to just turn around and fork out another $100-$150 to rebuy what I already purchased. Seems a little shady.

Wont unlock purchased upgrade. Wont unlock version that came with i rig hdx . Tried everything and cant contact a person to help , tried calling and tech service wont take calls . Makes me want to return my irig and go with scarlet

Great app- needs to keep on top of iOS updates. I’ve just started to rely on AmpliTube. I didn’t think they’d let an iOS update break their GUI! Right now, with the iOS 16 update, AmpliTube is stuck in the portrait mode while in Live. The controls are mostly unavailable, and so none of the presets can be edited. IK should at least have someone test the iOS beta and make a warning announcement about update problems. I was able to use AmpliTube for my last gig, but was really limited. IK really needs to post an acknowledgment of the problem and a timeline to fix it!

Rip off, no good, don't buy. I do not recommend this. If anything, buy AmpliTube 4 (or download the hacked torrent version for free). It's far better, AT4 Jimi Hendrix is spot on. The iOS Jimi is so far off it's not even funny. If you tweak it, you can get close, but still off. Another reason for the low score is them cheating me out of money. I had bough separate packs (Jimi, Fender, Orange) and waited to get my iRig HD2 because it gives you a serial for free AmpliTube on iOS. The registration worked for my computer, but not my iPhone, so, no free upgrade (that they promised, bad service indeed). So, I bought the $50 all in pack to get everything (or so I thought). No Mesa Boogie and no tons of pedals, or mics, or loopers...... So I paid $50 when I could have just paid $20 to upgrade two more packs. No refunds, no freebies for ripping me off. I will no longer recommend this to others, but I do recommend downloading AmpliTube 4 for free as a cracked torrent. Have a nice day!

My rig on the go!. Let’s be real, it’s annoying to have to lug around your amps, cabs, and FX everywhere. So why not make it easier on yourself and have it all in an app on your iPhone and/or ipad? AmpliTube is that solution. This app makes recording and playing on the go so much easier for me. The physical modeling can be easily reflected within the app as all the gear in there sounds like the real deal. Always looking forward to the next update!

Play by ear?!? Excellent App. I am familiar with the distortion that some are referring to. (fuzzy) turn your guitar down and get some good headphones! I love my monster ear plugs. If you play by ear like I do you just can't beat this app. Compressor (free) Delay (free) and when you register your I rig..... (free) distortion pedal. Everyone that I jam with I have told about this product. The tuner is great also! Highly recommend this. Not sure why you would want the pay ver but hay!

App's okay, mailing list not so hot.... So, I was thinking about getting the full version, thought I'd try the trial. They cleverly gate the distortion effect (sort of a big part of a guitar app) behind having to register for an account. I did. I went and checked their privacy settings and so on, made sure I wasn't signed up for any lists, and got my pedal. Then I got a promotional mailing from them. Sure, technically spam since I didn't sign up for it, but whatever, I'll just unsubscribe. Then I got another one a bit later. So... No, I'm not buying the full version, or buying any pedals from them. I am not okay with the "we will put you on a mailing list and not honor your unsubscribe" thing. Mailing lists need to be opt-in. Sound's okay, I guess. The big win of the app is the tuner. I guess if you wanted all the specialized pedals and stuff, this would be pretty nice, but also quite expensive. (Not, mind you, compared to actual music hardware, but compared to competing apps.) But yes, I really would rate a product lower because I don't enjoy dealing with the company. Their model is that you have to have an account with them to get pedals, and pedals cost money, so if you want to use this app, you're committing to a relationship with the company, and at that point, their bad mailing list management and support issues become a downside for the app as a whole.

Great app, even better rig. This app is very easy to use and I was playing within minutes. The sound quality is obviously not going to be as good as a tube amp, but I'm impressed with how close they got! The occasional click/pop is there, but it doesn't and shouldn't undermine the whole experience of being able to play without lugging gear around! Free version is limited and I'll be buying the full version soon. Great job IK

Very Dissapointed (headphones issues) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Since i bought the irig it only worked until i choosed the speaker option instead of the headphones. It has given me nothing but headaches! I asked for help from them and they were not able to help me fix the problem. I tried everything they told me to try and nothing worked-i even bought a second one. I also bought some of their apps hoping it would help and because i was excited to use them, but i wasn't even able to try them. They later said there was no way to get the headphones option back once you choose the speaker option the first time. And the last time i spoke to them they said my phone was the problem. I'm very dissapointed and feel like it was a waste of money and not to mention my time!!!! I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT TO ANYONE!!!!

"No Voice" button = 5 stars. Yes, the out-the-box tone isn't as good as AmpKit, and yes it isn't laid out as nicely as Ampkit either, but when I want to play along with or learn a song, Amplitube - Song - Add from iPod - (processing) - "No Voice". Oh sweet lordy lord, 5 stars. I would buy an app that did just that. This kinda does this as a side project. Crazy. For best practice? Amplitube. Hands down. For sweet tone? Ampkit. But you only ever use these things at home for practice anyway, not at a gig.

really good!. i got a bass for my birthday but i hate using amps because they, especially with basses, can shake the ground and are really loud, and since im autistic, i cant deal with loud noise. my father introduced me to this app though, and it works great! I just wish you were able to close out of the app and still be able to play since im new to bass, i still have to look at online sheet music for the songs i want to play; i cant really do that if every time i close out of the app, the amp shuts off. Besides that nit picky little thing, this is an amazing app and i love it dearly!

Great app one of the best. I don’t know what all these negative reviews are about. I have owned this app for quite awhile I have everything it offers. It looks great sounds great. Love all the extra packages. Only problem is I usually have to unplug my interface from my iPad and then plug it right back in for it to work. I don’t no why but if this helps anyone. Unplug and plug back in from the lightning connector. Also too long in between any updates new sounds for iOS and such. I have both AmpliTube 5 and 4 on my Mac. Also irig keys the irig pads micro monitors the irig 1 irig 2 irig hd irig pro duo 1 st one and the I loud speaker which I LOVE and the I klip stand and adapters. Love it all. I use my iPad more a lot more Otherwise great job.

Almost a good app. I downloaded the free version on my iPhone 6+. I was able to set up the app and use it with my guitar within just a few minutes. I was able to play the guitar through the phone just fine, but neither of the two stompboxes would change the sound, regardless of the settings. I did find a couple of issues pretty quickly. First, when you purchase an upgrade, to get ALL of what you paid for, you have to register the software with the vendor. Otherwise you won't get the distortion pedal, which I suspect everyone will want. Second, you have to plug everything in to the bottom of the iPhone. This software only works in portrait mode, so you can't use an iPhone stand with this software unless you can read sideways. This app is being deleted from my phone. Not a customer friendly company.

4.5. Not a bad app. Of course it's not going to sound like you tube amp... Duh!!! But, for capturing riff ideas or practicing at the airport, or on the bus this works. Not real sure what some reviewers were expecting for free or a few bucks( some people would complain about being hung with a new rope... :p ) if you read the installed help section and know how to use your phone/computer volume and tone settings, you can get tone that won't sound like your first guitar and cheap digital amp.... I bought the iRig just to interface my guitar to my phones Strobotuner@ application, and decided to try the fee app. You get two effects and a noise filter( not necessary if your guitar is quiet to start with) just keep the effect & amp gains and levels under control and you get close to what your looking for... I play for a living and this combination works for what was designed for.... It does have little, occasional pops but that is the phone audio/ iRig compatability not the app. So Enjoy it, I do.... :)

Works ok.. Don't expect to actually use this in a live performance or recording, the tones are not that great and the responsiveness is not very realistic. The tone reminds me of a super cheap multi-effect processor plugged into a small stereo. That said, I was able to play the free version with no perceivable latency with an iphone 3g. the tuner and metronome seem to work fine. The screen layout is nice and the controls are intuitive. The delay, noise gate and distortion pedal are nice and it's great to be able to save your presets. This app, of course, would be useless without a special cable to hook up a guitar. I made my own, so I couldn't comment on the iRig addaptor. Given that this does turn your iphone into a multi-effect guitar processor for free, it easly deserves 4 stars. You can use a camcorder cable to plug your guitar in. The red plug of the camcorder cable is the "mic in", the yellow and white go to the amp or stereo. For your guitar input: Use a 1/4" female to RCA female adaptor to mate with the red RCA Jack on the camcorder cable.

Great for practicing. The amps sound great for quiet practicing. I’m on a tour of duty in Kuwait and need to be quiet with my playing. It really sounds incredible with a pair of powered, noise-cancelling headphones. With regular headphones though, it can get staticky and muted. I did plug it in my old Fender 110 amp at home before I left and it made that crappy little amp sound good. I currently use the iRig 2 interface with it, so an HD or HD2 would probably make it sound even better. The recording feature is great for saving ideas for recalling them in the future. Bump up to the 8 track recorder and drum machine, you could probably write an entire song on it. It can get pricy with the in app purchases of other amps and features. But if you buy the bundles you could save quite a bit of money. Overall, I’m happy with the app.

i was charged $9.99 for this "free" app. As soon as I downloaded this "free app," and clicked it on, it gave me the message, "Register now to unlock your free distortion pedal." I clicked register and it asked me to pay, so I didn't proceed. I was so upset by this company's sales technique, that I bought AmpKit instead. I really would have appreciated it if they would have given me the opportunity to compare first. Today I received a receipt from the Apple store with a charge for $9.99 for Amplitube FREE. If you think that I somehow purchased the more professeional unwittingly, let me tell you that when I start the app it still asks me to register so I can get the free pedal. I expect that Apple will give me a refund, but they need to fix this and soon. In the meantime, I would wait.

Piece of sh**. Hasn't been working. I'm playing it through Irig and my schecter Damien-7 elite. I go into setup and the input is going just fine but the output won't work no matter what I do. The metronome goes through fine, but I can only get my instruments sound to come through for a split second while toggling latency options. This app worked the first day I got it and has been nothing but a headache ever since. For those who haven't used it yet, you don't even get a distortion effect without jumping through some hoops. To get anything worthwhile you have to pay and don't even think about upgrading because you'll have to repurchase all your effects again. Bad effects, hidden prices, and barely ever works. Screw this, I'm just gonna play on my Marshall stack from now on

Doesn't work with Apple mp4 format songs. Although it lets you jam along with your existing songs, it doesn't work with songs in mp4 format, which is what iTunes uses by default for importing CDs. So none of my 5,000 songs works. I was hoping to use Amplitube to jam along with the songs I have on iTunes. Unfortunately, it doesn't do that, what it lets you do instead is download up to 20 songs to play within Amplitube. I went through the messy process it requires of getting on a computer that's on the same wifi network as my iPod Touch, going to a special Amplitube website, uploading a song file from my computer, downloading it into Amplitube, and "expanding" it within Amplitube, 20 times. The problem is, Amplitube doesn't seem able to handle Apple's default format, m4a. Instead of playing the song, each time I pressed the play button it just "expanded" it again. I believe it prefers mp3 files. Considering this app is designed for the Apple iPod/iPhone, this seems like a rather large oversight and renders the app unusable for me.

Need Access to the Older Version. Ok, I was forced to download the app because the older version no longer works with the new iOS. I use it all the time, it works great, just like before, no issues, but my question is: What can be done to gain access to my songs stored on the deprecated app? I have tons of data still stored on my phone which I can no longer access because the developer has not updated the app to work with iOS 11. I hesitate to begin recording on this new app for fear that next year I will be forced to update again. Can a utility be created to import the old data from the older app?

Pay twice for both iPad and iPhone versions....why?. The fact that I have to buy both versions is ridiculous! Same goes for the upgrades. The iRig is way over priced for something that feels like it might easily be broken and obviously only cost about $1.25 to make...a cheap plastic shell, a resistor, perhaps a capacitor and jacks....that's it! This is not a highly sophisticated piece of technology....yet it'll cost you over $40!! There are some things that are nice, but the sound is not exactly quality. Wish Line6 would come out with something similar. Nickel and dimeing the customer is not going to gain any friends...offer a pack of effects or include all of them with the full version. Obviously you need to address the looping error and fix it ASAP...would be nice to see IK at least acknowledge the fact that it exists and are working towards a solution. I have a feeling that I've been charged twice for the 4 track recorder...once on the free version and once for the paid version. What is with all the double charging IK?!?! Ill gladly update my review if it's not the case or you give owners of the iPhone version the iPad version as well.

Great. Nothing wrong with this app. Everything works well, just as described.

you get what you pay for and less. Not a great app from a company that makes some great amp plugins for DAWs- but this is NOT great- the iRig interface is pretty flimsy- I don't see it lasting long- it flops all over the place and makes it difficult to work with from an ergonomic point of view- not worth the money they charge-there are definitely better interface devices out there for hooking up a guitar to an iPhone. The iPad and iPhone apps don't seem to be on parity in terms of features, and the fact that you have to pay for each platform really is LAME-This company claims to be so pro-musician- but this feels real sleazy. Also, I have to say the overall interface on the iPhone is cluttered, difficult to navigate, and cryptic- It does sound great, but I'm not that desperate to turn my phone & pad into an amp unless it really is easy to use- or economically fair- it's nice you can check out the free version, but i'll be looking for other options until IK gets this together. And I'll return the iRig to Full Compass next week and get my 30 bucks back....

Very Disappointing!. I was so excited to purchase the iRig and start jamming on my iPhone 4, but after hooking it up I found that you cannot play along with your iTunes library. I knew that the app would not import from iTunes, but I assumed that iTunes could play in the background. I was Wrong!!! The only way to play along with music is to download a separate copy of each song into the app. On top of that, it is limited to 20 songs at a time. I can't even get through one long practice session without having to go back to the computer and swap out songs! Amplitube and the iRig would be a wonderful tool if not for this ridiculous flaw. Please fix this.

What a let down. I thought this was great idea. I have the i rig and couldn't wait to play it. The delay effects did not work, and no matter how I tried I could not send or export anything that I recorded. I gave up on the customer service when I was given these instructions "Sorry to hear that didn't work for you. That is definitely strange to hear as we haven't received any reports of such an issue. You may want to try turning the iPhone off completely and restarting. Do this by holding down the power/standby button for a few seconds until you see a red slider that says: "slide to power off". Move the slider and wait until the iPhone turns off completely. Wait another 10-20 seconds, then turn the iPhone back on. This will clear the internal memory, and may fix the issue. ..." There was more to this e mail but, why go on. Thanks, now I know how to turn my I phone off and look at the memory. I hope no one else has to deal with customer service.

Beware of all things ik multimedia if u use iPad. Falsely advertised as being compatible with iPad Pro 3rd generation. I invested $200 in irig keys 49 , plus $30 for a power supply, plus $30 for a dongle adapter to connect the keyboard to the iPad 3. It simply doesn’t work. All that free software, I can’t download it from my registered ik multimedia account. I can pay $$$ for the apps of course. But even the free app like AmpliTube doesn’t work because neither my iPad Pro or my iPhone X recognizes the keyboard. Wasted money and time because irig keys 49 falsely claims to be compatible with iPad Pro 3rd gen.,,,,,.....at very least. You got me once ikmedia,.........I’ll never be back as a customer and will forever dissuade anyone from buying your product. Also, customer service is non existent if they know you are using an iPad Pro.

Disappointing. Really disappointed. Went and bought the i-rig and was all excited to use it. Downloaded the free version with all intentions of buying the full version. I read all the reviews about crashing but I figured maybe they had old iPods or bad luck. Nope. I got it work for a bit and was very disappointed with the limited effects. Specifically distortion (which you dont get until you register). So I figured I'd try some of the add ons but you have to buy them even before you can try them (the other apps at least give a sample). But worst of all...I couldn't even purchase any because the app keeps crashing. So I tried to work with app but keeps crashing. Was mad that I spent 40 bucks on the i-rig but the good news is that it works with jamup and ampkit. So my advice? Pass on this one until they get it fixed.

Switch your speaker off ?????????. Great fun to use ,a little hard to navigate to the actual free app features due to ads etc , also there’s no STOP BUTTON so I ended up recording 10mins of nothing due to difficulties turning the speaker off. I like the app but it needs simple quick notions not a runabout

Good demo. Nice new layout. Good cleans, sceptical on distortion tones ( not great for metal). In app perches' are glitchy, maybe due to recent update?

REALLY BAD QUALITY. This has taken ages to load! It has still not fully loaded! I have read some reviews and they say it is bad quality. Just saying, I am not spending any money so maybe it will be even worse. I will probably end up deleting the app. We'll just wait and see.

question about the product. could someone please explain the diffrence between the free product and the $20 one? thanks

Useless. I Tried to add songs to it but every time it crashes even when every other application is closed and the IRig isn't even attached. Its a shame thats probably the only thing that has stopped me from actually buying the app.

Not reccomended. Literally need to buy everything to get off the ground. No good if you're looking for a cheap option to connect and get some good tones going...

Crashes constantly. I cannot open on ios15. Constant crashes

“Full version” came free would not pay for it. Full version came “free” with my iRig, in all I am disappointed with what you get basically nothing extra. The pc included version with the irig is not even downloadable anymore. I think this is a bit of dishonest marketing, would have been better getting a USB sound card for the extra money and then buying some decent software. I would not recommend the irig HD 2 and this, at lest get the the next one up with combine. DI and XLR or a modelling amp with USB at a slightly higher cost. It sounds good but very limited selection of amps and effects. Having said that all theses types of software on iOS seem to have questionable marketing tactics.

Shipping. I agree, the shipping to Australia can't be that much surely! To pay over $100 for this seems a little too much. But I am definitely waiting for a release sale in Australia.

One of the most atrocious apps you will ever use. I had been using amplitude with an iRig for a few years while living overseas. I recently downloaded it again, purchased the premium version & the looper and I have to say, this has to be one of the most atrocious apps I have ever used. The ui and functionality of this app is beyond a joke. It's so usable. There isn't much more to say than that. ... I've never encountered an app so bad that it deserves a raging review before. So please, save yourself the hassle and amplitude, have your ux & ui team sort this joke out. Cheers

Good enough to satisfy. Long-time rocker, I've had loads of gear...this app is a great tool, not the best A-class studio unit in town but for free u get a great tuner, metronome, recorder, amp sim which isn't too bad (terrible reverb), and some other goodies that are excellent for ideas, jamming and musical note-making. If you want world-class, spend some $$$. I had a hiccup on install, which as previously mentioned in reviews, only gave me a direct-thru guitar sound...didn't require re-install, merely went into recorder and created a new song, went back to recorder and up came the amp sound and effects.. Set levels and off you go. The iRig can be also used to run a line-out to either mp3-in or guitar-in into your instrument amp, sounds very much better as a pre-amp into a valve combo, for example.

Not bad. Works well, sounds pretty good. After purchasing the irig why should we have to spend another $20 to get the full version...? WAY to steep

Don not waste your time and money. I feel very ripped off after buying the irig plug in. Let me tell you why, well for starters, all the amps simulations are just not of any decent quality. I was actually stupid enough to buy the slash pack thinking that would be a lot better....alas... It is still a very poor quality add on. I only wish I knew about line 6 pod before I got sucked in by this app. Now line 6 mobile in is real quality sounds. And you don't have to pay for any other add ons after you purchase the mobile in. If only I could get a refund for the very poor quality irig :(

Won’t even load with iOS 15. Worked well before I upgraded my iPhone to iOS15. Still works OK with iOS 12 on old iPad.

Alright. This would be brilliant if you an mix 2 songs at once and whats with all these cost just make one package with everything in it and with the no voice thing it doesn't work with linkin park's Mike Shinoda's voice so you need to work on that so all this stuff you can get on virtual dj on the computer but nice try though so 3 stars because you can make this really great if you tried a little harder and not think all about the money

Brilliant. This app is the best guitar app You just plug in and play with your ipod U can even buy fender amps

Expensive!!!. This is a great app.... However, it becomes very expensive when u start adding amps and effects to you basic kit... Especially if you want it on your iPad and iPhone because u have to purchase each add-on TWICE!!! C'mon guys... It's expensive enough a it is, without having to purchase items for each device!!!! I would have given it a much higher rating if purchases applied to iPad and iPhone together!

Where to buy irig. Iv been looking for a while to find this Irig thing but no one seems to have it. Does anyone know where to buy one in Australia

Hopeless. Crashes often, slow to import songs. Recorder is a waste of time. Go GarageBand instead.

Troubles. Well, i brought the irig adaptor, downloaded the program, but the origin doesn't pick up on my iPhone 3GS, but it will pick up on my old iPhone 3G... Can someone explain or help?

Tweeking needed pt 2. Seems my previous review was cut very short and edited. I’ll try again. After forking out about $170 on this app getting all it has to offer I’m not impressed. After I record one track I expect it to stay the same when I record onto another track using a different amp. But no. The new amp bleeds into all the tracks including the drum track. That’s not acceptable. Didn’t do it all the time but annoying when it does. Makes the app useless. Also the feedback through the speakers switching to high gain amps is painful. That’s annoying. No volume slider on the drum track in editor. Can I have the gear assigned to individual tracks stay put please.

Careful of In App Purchases !. If you buy extra stomp box effects as In App purchases, then decide you want to buy the full version, you will have to buy all your In App purchases again! Other than this trap, it would be 5 stars.

Crash. Crashes more than an Asian driver. Would like to be able to stay in the app for more than 2 mins

Ppppssdd. I brought this thing a while ago and I have only used it once to see if it worked now for no reason what so ever it don't work on my iPhone 5s I deleted the app a few times and same thing but still works on my partners iPad witch she always uses so don't do me any good lol worst thing about this is I have paid quite a lot of money on this app on different effects so I figure it must just be the iPhone version that's stuffed

Issue when purchasing the amps. When I try to in app purchase restore fender collection 2 for AmpliTube CS iPad, it doesn’t restore it even though I have already bought it on my phone.

NOT WORTH IT. I purchased irig to test this app. The controls are clumsy and the knbs do not turn as they should, so I was stuck with Reverb and other effcets that I could not control. IRig itself comes with no connectors, just confusing instructions. Once you buy IRig you need to go out yet again and buy various connectors from electronic shops just to use the thing. Once plugged in (after days hunting down the bits needed to plug it into my Fender amp) I found the sounds and effcets to be very average. IRig created hum, the volume was low and as I said, clumsy knobs to turn to control functions that simply do not work well(sliders would be far mor effcetive). In short, dont waste your maoney, wait for version 20

Excellent app, well priced. This is really good. Sounds fantastic. Can't wait for the hardware dongle to arrive. (have reordered from Derringers, $55 AU seems cheaper and easier than sourcing overseas) IK have done really well with this. I'll buy the full version of the app next. Far easier than carting a Pod around. :)

Best practice amp I've seen!. This thing is great, even with the limited functionality being the free version, it is still very good. The capability of this program, coupled with iRig, is excellent. I have been running it directly into my valve amp by way of the appropriate lead and I must say I am very impressed. I am a guitar teacher and I have all sorts of students from the ordinary (no offense) to the brilliant and they all agree, Amplitube for iPhone sounds AWESOME! I will qualify this - when it goes into your headphones, the sound quality isn't as good because, seriously, valves make everything sound better. But for something that cost me roughly $80 in total (including the full version of the software) I am WAY impressed. Many people are saying this is the best practice amp in this price range on the market. Go in with some friends to split the postage and buy the iRig from the IK website. I wasn't disappointed.

Big Bug. With high gain settings, any track that isn’t armed will be very trebly. The moment you arm a particular track, that recording won’t sound trebly anymore, but any other recorded track will. Especially apparent when with the master eq enabled with settings: High: Q: 0, Gain: 15, Freq: 20 Mid: Q: 0, Gain: 15, Freq: 20 Low: Q: 0, Gain: 05, Freq: 20 Yes, all the levels are in the green/yellow. Tested on iPhone X and iPad Air. Big deal breaker. Paid a lot to be able to use this app, and I can’t record music like this. Will be taking business elsewhere if it’s not fixed.

Excellent practice tool.. Now I can practice anywhere and anytime!

Quite suitably impressed!. Great little silent practice solution!

Annoying. After forking out on irig hd2 and getting this software with it i’d now pass on both. Any misplaced tap and the thing tries to sell you more of the same. File sharing between apps is very limited so trying to get a recording into a decent editor is a terrible experience. Suddenly stumbled across an option to save to garage band and hey presto, nowhere to be found in garage band! The irig hd2 hardware is probably excellent but bundling with this is a serious let down. I get that it is a free version but it’s so bad I wont fork out more money on top of the hardware because it is so terrible. Sometimes using new software can be frustrating at first. This is still frustrating after a couple of months. Fail.

Bass guitar. It’s would be great with a few more bass guitar options Also the package deals are mostly aimed at guitars I do love This app as I work away and enables me to practice I would just like some more bass options or features

Great for travel. I travel a lot and take my travel Epiphone SG with me . Having Amplitube and my iRig cable - allows me to jam while on the road. You only need a few of the stomp boxes to get great effects. GiJoe Aus

Amplitube. This is a great little app that allows you to carry a mini studio around with you wherever you go. Great price and easy to use. Would recommend it to all. Not sure yet if my downloads on my iPhone will also update onto my iPad! I am hoping so!!!

Poor effects. I tried the standard free effects (crush, delay and phaser) and found them all to be of extremely poor quality with way too much treble. I initially thought that maybe this was because they were the free features and not meant to be very good, however I then purchased the “red special” effect to see if there was any use to this app in terms of achieving different guitar sounds, but it was pathetic. The sound quality was awful and some settings wouldn’t work when I tried it on a strat. It was a relief to turn the app off and return to the amp's own sound as the app provided a lot of annoying background noise through the amp that could not be turned off by the usual killing of the volume on the guitar. Really disappointing for such a cool concept, as well as for the money spent on it.

Australian customers. Allens music will be getting it in late July , $60 for it. $40 for the irig &. $20 for the full software . so wait

My two cents worth.... I have to say it's disappointing to find that every second (or even more!!) press on a button in AmpliTube takes you to their store section where you need to purchase additional amps, mics, effects, looper yadaa yadaa....u get it. In fact the whole app seems to be designed around convincing you to spend more of your cash... IK needs to redesign it so your purchased section is completely separate to what you don't own. It's appears underhanded and gets in the way of a creative flow and just ends up annoying you. My recommendation is to avoid this in the first place if you're a serious musician (yes I know what I'm saying there about IK) because there are less annoying and/or frustrating purchases out there. I doubt I'm going to end up using this in iPad recording and I've already spent a fair amount on it.

Not bad!. Worked first time but couldn't work out why everything including the "clean" fx were distorted. 30mins later I realized I had the iPhone turned to half volume! So, after re-adjusting everything, it did what I needed/expected and sounds good. As a person who travels a fair bit for work, I sometimes carry a cut down electric guitar in my suitcase to practice, so this keeps the packing to a bare minimum! Btw I got the iRig from EBay for $18 delivered from Hong Kong to Australia. There's stacks more on EBay, good luck, and good licks !

Irig. Bought irig and it didn't work, no sound when connected to iphone3gs. Took back to store and waited two months for a replacement. Try new replacement irig still same problem. Nothing!:(

Amplitude. The complete rig to take anywhere, the options for Amps and effects is outstanding and the sound is absolutely brilliant.

Good but too much noise. Please fix!!!. I love the app but when I plug in and play there's too much noise in iPhone. Very creaky annoying noise. Happens even when I plug into my amp. Can not play live. Please fix!!!

Plug in iRig before loading app. I couldn't get it to work until I realized that I had to plug the iRig in before I loaded the app. If I accidentally unplug it, I then have to close the app properly, plug it in and the launch the app again

Too expensive, no improvements, full of bugs and no support. I made the mistake to buy this app to then realise its full of bugs and lacks of very basic features. Customer support is very poor and there are no updates with any serious improvements. Current version doesn't work, app is completely unresponsive and support doesn't even respond to emails for weeks now. Waste of almost US$70 I paid, asked for a refund 2 days after with no results. BAD BAD BAD!!

Cool. I like this mostly for the drum loops actually. I wish you could stop it from crashing and losing the drum track you have been working on.

GET GARAGEBAND INSTEAD IT IS 1000x better!!. The paid version of this is an absolute rip off. Buy the plug and download Apple's GarageBand. It has soo many amps and pedal effects for like 5 bucks!

Good but not brilliant!. Easy to use interface a bit cramped but ok - I'd much prefer a better layout than fancy graphics to imply better sound quailty than it really is ( that only works on movie folks not muso's) No record ability, but u can jam along to any tracks u download into the local interface. Individual effects are waaaay too expensive, c'mon guys u gotta be kidding at these prices. The ability to record your jams and upload via the web interface along with cheaper fx prices and less cramped layout - would win me over.

Simply awesome.. Awesome - no need to buy an expensive amp or pedals with this (as long as you have the irig). I lose hours jamming with this!

Fantastic!. I just got started, but what an amazing product already. I went out and bought an iRig to hook it all up, and it just worked like a charm. I've got the iPad version too, and the bigger screen is awesome, Great job guys :)

Poor performance over all. Recording performance is poor ... have to reinstall the app and the projects are lost afterwards which is absolutely annoying after paying a good bunch of money ..... total disappointed with this apmlitube

false adverting!. well its good to see that other buyers feel the same about ik as me. i recently purchased the in app hendrix bundle as directed on their website. To my surprise there were no presets. So i posted on their forum n a techie responded saying ya there will be an update.. of course after moving my post to an obscure category? after i question iks business practices he moved the dialogue to a private message n then he banned me from the forum. i did not rant or curse but simply said that this was wrong. i guess i am going to report them to apple because i find them very unprofessional n are damaging the integrity of the apple store. hopefully apple can convince them to improve their business practice merry xmas all

Does not work. Bought an iRig today, installed the app, and nothing but pure guitar silence in my headphones. Tried everything, replaced all cables, different guitar etc, and again silence. Taking iRig back tomorrow. If I can't get new one to work in store, I'm gonna spend my refund on advil, because this was a headache. If I could only have my wasted time back.

Update crashed app. Just did update and now completely screwed up. Why now??? Was working fine before?!??

Absolute garbage. The money is wasted, they offer no support, I tried three times with ZERO response. The sound doesn't work and all of the "extras" make this anything but free!

Garbage software for garbage hardware. I can't unrecommend enough.

Tempo Wheel doesn’t work!. I hate to say it, but the tempo control still doesn’t work. That’s a long time to wait for a fix, and the problem is still there!

Poorly designed app, many popups. Last update 11 months ago, the app is still optimized for the iPhone 5, we’ve had plus sized phones for 4 years now this is ridiculous. There is no intuitive options to register your iRig and unlock features, not to mention every tab you click requires one or more $10+ in app purchases. Don’t waste your time guys either get an Apogee or use GarageBand.

I love it!. Bought the iRig 2 years ago used all the basic free stuff for quiet home playing and recording and it was fantastic for putting ideas together. I do prefer the iPad layout to the iPhone but that’s only because of screen size. But I Really enjoyed it so I bought the iRig HD 2 just an amazing little device. All the bonus content for the app it comes with is great more then I need I’m sure but it makes the app way more versatile with endless possibilities. I love that I can connect my Blackstar Series One and my own stomp boxes to the iRig HD 2 through to my iPad or Mac and use my actual rig for recording. Great work guys love your apps and interfaces 🤘🏻

Irig. Used it once and it worked well. The second time I used it the effects wouldn't work. Spent an hour trying to figure it out. They should give me my cash back....

waste of time. Made two trips to the apple store today for what I thought was a defective irig cable, but it's really just a defective app. Got the metronome to work but that was about all. After multiple unplugs / plugging back in (in various combinations), never got any sound from the guitar coming through. Back to the apple store tomorrow. Fool me twice...won't get fooled again

I hear this crumbling sound. When I play I hear this crumbling sound

Not bad. Probably best way to practice silence.easy and fast. Not for advanced tone!

Over 15 years. I’ve used the Irig for over 15 years. I’m on my fourth one. My third Irig2. I also have an iLoud. Amplitude was my practice app. After a long hiatus I went to plug in and the app quits. I see a new app for $35. Ive already bought a drum pack, several amps. That’s around $700+ Ive spent. Why am I not grandfathered into the updates?

Where is the bundle under irigpro/Io?!. Just got the irig pro-io and registered the code. No avail of the bundle on the iPhone. Honestly feeling duped and thinking if I should have gone for the apogee Jam+ instead. What’s going on amplitube????

Buyer Beware!. This is a fantastic app. It's very polished; it looks incredible, and it works exactly as it should. The effects are great, and the 8-track Mixer is a nice touch. I'd like to give it 5 stars, and indeed I would have…if not for their very questionable practices regarding in-app purchases. If you buy the free version, begin loading it up with in-app purchases such as effects pedals and/or the 8-track mixer, and then decide to upgrade it to the full, paid version…GOTCHA! You discover that IK Multimedia will not transfer your in-app purchases to the upgraded version. You are expected to buy all of those in-apps AGAIN! They do not connect your purchases with you, the user; instead they are tied to the app. Similarly, if you bought the app on your iPad to learn how to use it, and then want to use the smaller form-factor iPhone or iPod Touch to play the gig…GOTCHA again! They will not transfer your in-app purchases to your other devices either. I was so terribly disappointed to discover this unethical practice from a company that I was initially so excited about. Don't let their "Musicians first" slogan fool you; it's clearly money first. At the very least they should have written something about this in their descriptions, so we know what we're getting into. I hope this helps someone to avoid being unpleasantly surprised like I was. I really love the app…I just don't love this company anymore.

Irig. Just got it. Not bad, not great, I would say it sounds better than a similar gadget i have. Why is there no volume if the gain is all the way down?? Why is the overall volume so low and why is there a "hiss" when volume and doodads are set at high?? I can not get my "free" distortion box, since i dont have wireless acess to register, fantastic! Had to upgrade the ipod software, which means i had to upgrade itunes. The process reset my ipod touch to factory settings, Way to go apple! Lost all my contacts,notes and calendar events! APPLE??????? P.S.: The software worked once, now when i click on it i get the loading screen, then it disappears. So, now i have to waste my life trying to fix it or return the irig hardware. Also on their website they claim:The free version includes 3 stompboxes Well one of the stompbox is a noise reduction, the other 2 are delay boxes, 2 of the same one. Wooopie!

Drum Loops and Looper. Bought your expensive Drum Looper pack and Looper but they don’t work together and no description about it. You should have indicated that you can’t record Drum Loops with your Looper. I regret this purchase!

Unusable. I can’t even use the iRig now with newer style iPhones. Who wants to listen to that through iPhone speakers. Figure out how to add bluetooth.

It’s ok.... Works well for travelling where you can’t use an amplifier. I found that the amp effects drop out and I have to switch between amps to get them to work again. I also found that it will randomly and suddenly let out a deafening blast of static which is painful to the ears when using ear phones. It may be my settings but I doubt it. It’s a functional app but I’m not going to spend any more money on the expensive upgrades.

Effects not working. I have the irig but the effects don't work. I only hear the unaltered guitar tone. I was particularly perturbed when I had the same problem with the iPad version. I did manage to get it working briefly but when I turned the device back in the next day the effects weren't working. I have read enough reports of the same thing happening that I think it's unacceptable for this problem to persist. Fortunately, the irig works with GarageBand on iPad and the peavy software. I hope they get this smoothed out because it could be very cool.

Don't Waste Your Time !. Read the forums to see common short falls. Bought the Fender Collection 2, and IPro I/O, just over $200, and after two days of screwing around, finally gave up. I put a shopping bag over my head, played a comb with tissue paper and got the same sound, and for reverb, used a bigger bag. Threw interface out, deleted "program " (thit!)! Going to music store to buy lousy SS amp and dirt box, and hopefully play, instead of listening to compost. Looks great on Internet, but then so does everything 😪! Take a PASS !

Amplitube CS IK Multimedia Update For ios 15. Thank you IK Multimedia for fixing the ios 15 issues causing the app crashing. I've been using your products for 2 years and never had and any issues before, Great work.

Bass players BEWARE. All over the literature and box the product states "plug in your guitar or bass" "use your guitar or bass" "plug in your guitar or bass", however this FREE app has no stock bass amp included. That is an in-app purchase for $4.99. Not impressed

Bad. Ev n at the lowest latency there is a delay, plus, 500MB for 2 amps/cabs??? You should not include all the locked crap in the download, it’s ridiculous, it should be downloaded only when purchased, major waste of space

Sketchy. Definitely some false advertising going on. I bought the iRig2 HD; this product advertises “Comes with AmpliTube 4 for IOS/MAC/PC”, yet AmpliTube 4 doesn’t exist on iPhone. What you actually get is a very stripped down version of AmpliTube CS, containing a very small selection of amps and stomp boxes. It feels like a trial version of their basic software. Buy this product if you want an interface for your mobile device but that’s it. The “bundled software” is surprisingly offensive in that it just serves as a way to make you buy the actual full version of the “included” software after making your initial purchase of the iRig HD2. Spent hours wondering where my copy of AmpliTube 4 was only to learn it doesn’t work on iPhone, despite it being for iOS. I have an iPhone XR btw. So yeah, a mobile interface with a demo version of a basic modeler.

No real content-No bass at all. Only one amp, no effects and absolutely nothing for bass unless you pay for everything separate.Bought Irig Hd2,had hoped for something better than this as I play guitar and bass. Garage Band is better, and is free.

Waste of time. I found app confusing to use. Setup was not as straight forward as you would thing. Never got a clear sound. Lots of buzzing fuzz and unwanted distortion. Went and got another app. Unfortunately it seems like they are more interest in trying to sell you more amps and effects than just trying do a good job.

The iRig sucks. The instructions are not clear and make no sense .waste of time and money

Very bad. While I initially liked this app it’s gone to cr’p. Everything is distorted, playback is fast and distorted. I’m sorry I paid for the add ons. Was good, not anymore.

Beware of the iRig shipping cost. The iRig is needed to use this app. It sells for $39.99 usd plus $30.00 shipping charges. Depending on where you live, there may be taxes and duty charges as well.

Absolute GARBAGE!. Now I am not normally one to write reviews, but I just couldn't let this one go. This app is a total cash grab and even that would not be too bad if it was at all usable... Free is a little misleading as, in order to use the app, you have to purchase an adapter to plug your guitar in. (I wasted 40 bucks on one) Then, any functions but the bare bones minimum must be purchased as add-ons in app. (this could easily become a $100.00 app if you are not careful! The worst part of all is that the sound quality is complete crap... snapping and popping on songs imported to play along with, and terrible latency issues. Save your money and don't waste $45.00 on this "FREE" app like I did!

Update sounds like blown speaker. This is the second update that didn't work , the one not so long ago rendered irig pro to the equivalent of a blown speaker , oh how I wish I did not update this hack . You can't tell me it wasent on purpose . You think I'm going to buy your new device only to have it hacked in a few years ? Nawww. Fix it and l will take this review down

Lousy apps. Unless you are willing to buy the full version, do not waist your time downloading it.

TONEX?. Is it possible to use TONEX pedal or amp like on pc? The possibilities of the app are nice. But it feels kinda old compared to TONEX app. Would be nice to get a small revamp! Could be nice to be able to sync favorite between mobile and pc too!

Good for a free version, Use iRig only!. Register for the free Distortion Pedal to get more gain out of the amp. Also I just wanted to say that the Amplitube iRig sounds much better than the other cables I've tried from PRS and other companies. Don't use other cables or converters to connect your guitar or it will sound muddy and distorted. I haven't tried the AmpKit LiNK from Peavey but that looks like the only thing that even compares to the iRig, although I seen that unit in the store too and it looks much bulkier than the iRig from IK multimedia. I don't know why but the iRig is actually much smaller than it looks in photos.

No volume. Audio demo works fine as does metronome. But I have to use a preamp to get any volume from the guitar. And now the effects don't have much "effect" on the sound. Apparently many people are having this issue and think the iRig is defective. I'm pretty annoyed that is for sure. IK please fix this issue or you'll get plenty more bad reviews.

FX button. I record on 1 channel with FX then I use the channel 2 to record using FX but then the channel 1 doesn’t work…it sounds distorted and has no effects, please fix/enable all FX/effects to work all at once!

Multitasking!. We NEED multitasking for this, i need to use it along with iRealBook to make it really useful! I know you guys allowed multitasking for a while but then disabled it... Why ?? because too many stupid people found it too hard to turn it off? Why don't you make multitask an option in the setup menu then? I know you guys would sell a bunch of iRig if you allowed multitasking again! Thanks for listening IK!

Purchases should be transferable. Please make purchases transferable to full version, thank you. Plus app crashes when loading projects recorded before latest update.

Crashes, freezing, annoying pop ups to buy $10 4 track recorder. I had read good things about this app, and went out and bought an irig to hook up my guitar. Based on the free version, I cannot recommend this app. 1) No clean sounds. Everything is distorted no matter how you turn the gain on the amp down. I want a clean sound, not distortion. Even with my Parker mojo on piezo settings, and humbuckers turned down, could not get anything close to a clean tone. 2) When I went into the 'master' tab, app would freeze every time. 3) Most annoying of all, it would start with pop ups, "Confirm your 9.99 purchase of the 4 track recorder?' I would hit 'cancel', and the pop up would just come up again, and again. I had to hit cancel at least ten times in a row, before I shut off the app in disgust. When I started it again, I didn't get any guitar sound at all. Reloaded it, same problem, Again, the pop ups on the 'master tab'. I deleted it, and I will be returning my irig hookup to the apple store for a refund. I was looking forward to this but there is no way I'm risking $4 or $20 to buy the full package when the free version is this buggy, and in the 'hopes' it includes a decent clean sound. Using itouch 3rd gen with OS 4.1. I downloaded 'ampkit' instead and found that one at least worked and didn't give me any pop ups that insisted I buy something. However, 'Ampkit' has the same problem: no clean sounds. Hey devs, not everyone is playing heavy metal! How hard is it to include a good acoustic sound? Fix the 'buy me!' pop ups. This is total turn off.

False advertisement and annoying. It is pretty annoying, prompting you repeatedly to sign up for a news letter or other promotions. The main issue is that it is advertised as coming free with irig if 2 but when you sign in you essentially just get garbage basic effects and the option to get “free distortion pedal” if you sign up for their news letter which I already said i didn’t want. The irig hd 2 is a fine product but I recommend getting Tonebridge in the App Store because it is leagues ahead of this app and is completely free. It doesn’t try to convince you to get ads to get what should already be included with the app.

Unreliable and buggy. App sometimes works, but when you come back it doesn’t so you spend a bunch of time trying to get it going again. Along the way it repeatedly asks you to register again and enter serial numbers again for hardware. App forgets in-app purchases so what once worked now doesn’t. Never ending pop ups to purchase upgrades. I might have been able to give a decent rating but it’s just so annoying I can’t give anything but a complete fail.

False Advertising. I bought the irig2 for my iPhone 11. I am an Audio professional and this company should be ashamed. The download free apps QR code is a lie. It is supposed to come with amplitude but all you get is a free version with 0 content. Then, they say hey, you get a free amp, which you click download on, and it just brings you to the amplitude app in the store. This is a huge waste of money, and you do not get what is advertised. I searched for an hour on the website to no avail, and when I’m told I’m getting things by the pamphlet in the box the product came in, I should get those things. I registered the warranty and made an account 0 problems, and then when it comes to using amplitude the links don’t even work. It brought me to the iPad version when I’m using an iPhone, and not only that but as I mentioned, the free metal 150 amp download link does not give you the amp at all. Company should be sued lol.

i rig no sound prob fix. just got the i rig and set it up and there was sound at first next time i used it there was no sound at all to fix this issu i tried every thing what it is is in the recording tab the is a m and a s the m means mute just unmuit it and it will work it is a great device glad i got one hope this helps out

Sound distorted and erratic. HELLO ANYONE IN YOUR COMPANY INTERESTED IN PAYING CUSTOMERS 🤷‍♂️ What has happened to the Apple app? Just attempted to use it and the sound is really distorted and the tempo keeps changing. Is this an IOS update issue? Is there a bug fix coming??? Frustration building STILL WAITING. WHAT A JOKE REGRET PAYING FOR THE APP UPGRADE MASSIVELY 😡

Somewhat below expectations. Ok app. Drums loop are good for practice but be prepared to spend at least 60$+ to make it work properly and to be fun. Before buying a plug in, it should at least gives you some sort of snapshot of what you will get and give you a few samples of sounds. Now you are just dumb blind, if you realised after having paid that’s not what you wanted, well just too bad. Waaaaaay to expensive. Ridiculous. I will ask for a refund of a drum sample a bought. Pretty sure it will be a hassle to get my 7 bucks back.

IOS 15. iOS 15 and this software don’t work. Just keeps crashing. Wish they would get on the ball and update this to work on the hardware they advertised it to work on. Needs to step up there game for such a large company. Very disappointed with my irig purchase

Downhill. This definitely won’t go to 11

Please don't buy this app. This app doesn't work at all, stick with the free app. You will be disappointed. $20 is too expensive to lose. If I didn't have I would even give it one star.

badly!!!. Live mode works badly on iPhone 13

Over priced even at free. It worked at the store with a borrowed guitar, but not very well with my guitars that I own. the app itself is hard to use, and makes me wonder if spending the money was worth it at all for the external device. The in app add ons are a joke purely from the I paid 40 bucks to plug into it stand point and you can't give me anything I would already want in a way that I can actually change settings with ease...

Cool. Best pocket FX concept yet on this platform. You don't need to blow $40 on an irig just to try.. Just use a standard camcorder AV cable (get with angle connector $3 on eBay, or in your cam bag free go look and a 1/4 to RCA adapter. This is the best thing IK has ever done for iPhone. Now if they could just price their adapter fairly-- everyone would buy one.. At $40.. Might as well get a blue mikey and get stereo recording. At $20-- it'd be a no brainer..

Buyer beware !! App purchases do NOT transfer across devices.. The app itself is fine. My complaint is more about the lack of information that should be displayed in big bold RED font that purchases do NOT transfer across devices or platforms!! This is the worst possible thing to find out after the fact. When you invest some money in an app, and its available across multiple OS, isn’t it natural for the user to expect that those purchases are available across devices and platforms? Why would someone have to go through FAQ before making purchase?

A fine little app covered with Spam. The app is actually really quite nice. The problem is they have let the marketing team go wild with the thing. Every time you open it it tries to sell you something before you can even use it. Every time you look at it it tries to sell you something.... And there is no way to turn this marketing stuff off. I would give this puppy for five stars if only it weren’t such as spam fest.

FANTASTIC PRODUCT!!!. I love every aspect of this app! I recommend it to everybody I come in contact with in the music business. My only negative comment is my fingers are too fat for my iPhone 5s. I need to get a pad! Keep making a fantastic product and you can guarantee I will use it!!! THANK YOU!

Don't waste your money. I saw the iRig adapter on sale and thought it sounded like a good idea. Unfortunately the sound quality is terrible. You have to turn everything almost max volume to get any sound and there was this weird clicking noise every so often. Also making any adjustments to the amp it a pain on the iPhone version though this is probably not a problem on the iPad one. If you paid full price for this you could have gotten a cheap practice amp and plugged your headphones into it.

Lots of potential. Love this app. I also own an iRig Stomp IO. One thing the app has missing for me is a volume pedal. Sure you can assign the pedal that comes with the iRig stomp to the volume knob of the speakers but the effect won’t be the same since the volume of a speaker affects the tone of your instrument. I would also like to see more pedals for bass. I am mainly a bass player but bought this rig to explore more guitar options.

Awesome app. Can't understand the bad reviews...it's an iPhone app...if you're expecting professional recording gear I suggest you by a Mac and spend some REAL MONEY on ProTools. For the next to nothing price for effects, amps and drum packs you can't beat it. This app is a great tool for practice or recording an IDEA for later production. Don't listen to the complainers....

AmpKit app is better. I bought the iRig adapter and tried the Amplitube app. I found it to produce so so tones but thought it fine for practice. However, You can also use iRig adaptor for Peavey's app AmpKit which sounds much better with warmer more real tones and Zombie distortion pedal does distortion right. Clean tones are warm and realistic.. AmpKit makes me feel like I bought a new real amp and would love to hook it into a PA and not even use a real amp.

No purchased amps work!. I was excited to download the JH Marshall amp and with eager anticipation plugged in multiple times over a month... to no avail, it sounds identical to the 'stock' amp set to 'clean'. No tweaking on any settings make a difference- twist the gain up, may as as well say a prayer, no change in sound. I'd rate as a 1 and the app is not completely worthless. However it's a lot of $ and hassle not to be able to mess with your tone.

Jamstreet noise. I purchased the recording app and it works ok, thank goodness I have a 3GS, so I can release it when I quit the app by double clicking the round button and then holding the I rig app till the x appears then remove it from your memory as well as any other apps that's running as well. Until an update is issued to release it.

Crash. Bought the irig today for my iPhone 5 and figured I would try the free version of amplitude before dropping $15 on the pay version. Gave it 2 stars because its pretty cool when it works. However, it has crashed 3 times in the first hour of use. Only way to get it back is to do a complete shut down and restart of the phone. I won't be spending any more money until they get the bugs worked out.

Not impressed!. After by my irig HD2, I was excited to use this app but quickly realized that they expect you to buy a bunch of other in app add-ons to fully get the total effect. I think this is complete BS! Especially the fact that the apps aren't very expensive. Unless you're a very serious guitar player, don't waste your time here because you barely get anything that is playable in regards to amps or effects. I think I'll just stick to the amps on GarageBand where they are free.

Greed. This is a joke. I can understand maybe charging one price for a app but come on. I bought a irig off EBay and downloaded this free version to check it all out. Figured I would like to play with the different amps and was excited to use the studio portion. Well everything costs more money. Want to use the studio? $27 or so. Wants a different amp? $8 a amp. Want to use different drums? More more more. You could end up spending a fortune. I wish they would just bring the price down to a more reasonable price for a phone app and just make it a one purchase deal.

Irig = good. I don't know what these other users were trying to do with this, but clearly it's made to run through your phone. It's not going to sound like a Marshall stack or an ac30. For what this is I think it's awesome. And I just have the free version. I can't Imagine how great the paid version is. I am a well seasoned guitar player of 15 years. This is a good buy and will keep me entertained.

Its ok. This thing is mostly fun, with some ok guitar sounds. Its cumbersome to use to learn songs and/or jam along with anything. As a tool, it’s clunky, but still has some utility. Feeling a little hesitant to purchase items in app. I’m really disappointed and a little burned at how terrible the one amp (57 Fender Deluxe) I did buy is. I really dont want to take the gamble again, and honestly the plug ins that come with the app work goos enough. Any other sound modifications I can dial in well enough by running my pedal board through this.

A few bugs but lots of potential. I love this app. I’ve purchased the metal pack and the tuner and am really enjoying it. I do hope you guys fix the bug soon which causes the app to close after a few minutes of playing. I would use this app much more if it weren’t for that. Other than that minor issue and some odd feedback I’m getting in my headphones, it is excellent

Worthless.. This is by far the most incomprehensible piece of garbage I've ever used as far as software goes. Nothing is intuitive. None of the features work unless you pay money. The free features malfunction nonstop. I've had it for one day, and recorded three projects, all of which have crashed. The only piece that actually recorded well won't play. It's five minutes long but will only play the first 8 seconds and the last two minutes. Piece of junk.

Gotta say. What would also be nice, instead of preset drum loops, let us make the drums, an actual drum machine would be a lot better, especially the way I personally use this app and the music that I record on it, sure a lot of people feel the same way, few things about to nit pick but still good app

App no longer works. I have been using the app for years, primarily as a tool to practice music for my live band. The feature to import songs from your phone music library no longer works. The songs now import at a sped up rate with distortion and poor sound quality. I have to actually slow down the sonf speed to get the tempo correct, and the sound is pixilated and garbled. I have tried :deleting and redownloading the app, and even tried other version of the AmpliTube app and they all have the same problem. Now looking for a new app.

AMAZING. this app is really good i think people should at least give it a chance before they give up and say it's not good and it sounds horrible it's NOT hard to set up for good sound. this app has a lot of different pedals and they sound great for a digital app. don't knock it till you try it seriously.

Can't purchase new features. I love this app, but I can't purchase the new acoustic stomp pedal, the OCD pedal, the new bass amp, or pretty much any of the ones mentioned in the latest update. They don't display the price, and if you click on it, it just loads and nothing happens. Please fix this. I really want to try out some of the new features!

Hmmm. I noticed a while ago that Amplitude Free had deleted everything except one amp and effect. I'm certain I tried restore in amp purchases but nothing showed up. Until today. Now it's back to the original state, two amps, cabinets and mic sand 3 FX. As is I'm quite satisfied as the barebones version was worthless. Sound is better than GB but less varied. Makes a great practice amp while traveling. Can't help wondering if I was imagining things or IK read the scathing review I am now replacing.

Get an iPod. Well the iPhone users can shut up because this app works perfectly fine on my 3rd gen iPod touch iOS 5.0.1 and the first time you select speakers or headphones you should also select the option to display the message each time an iRig device is connected

Get GarageBand instead. Amplitube does everything you'd expect pretty well. However you have to pay, kind of a too much, for all the "good stuff", i.e., multitrack recording, additional drum loops, more than one amp, more than three generic effects. For 5 bucks you can get all that plus more with GarageBand. i.e., a bunch of amps, bunch of effects, 8-tracks of recording, great loops, easily programmable drums, strings, keys, etc. To get any where close to that with irig/amplitube (and not even including all of what GarageBand has) you have to pay 20, or more, dollars.

I’ll Keep You Posted. I became the proud father of an iRig Pro I/O for audio and MIDI just the other day. This is going to be used in iOS, which limits features internally; but still, this is a way for me to write music and lyrics within the available recording et al and share it with my cousin Mike B., as he and I both have the same iRigs... as the title above sez, I’ll keep you posted. Hence the three stars.

A lot of potential. Excellent app. The iRig is now available. You can download mp3 songs to practice with, or your own backing tracts in mp3 format. Have not ordered the iRig yet, using another cable. I run it through a mixer into the pc. You can see the potential here because I can record to the pc using my pc music software. The effects are good. It is a lot if fun

Disappointing. Not wanting to spend $40, I requested the iRig interface for my birthday. So, fully prepared to plunk down my $20 for the full amplitube experience, I grab the free version real quick to try it out. This app is NOT ready for prime time. 1- Latency: VERY NOTICEABLE and very distracting. 2- Tone: cheap as hell, boring, vague range of available sounds. NOISY! Guess that's why a noise gate is so mandatory, it comes free. 3- Volume: not very much at all in earphones, unless you crank the distortion. Seriously, what is this good for? I hope I can return the overpriced interface. 3 stars for an awesome idea, but very poorly realized. Am I a tone snob? Most assuredly, but this is a dedicated tone producing item, and sold as such, not as a toy or half baked fuzz box. IK Multimedia is a great company. GET IT TOGETHER!

Good App But..... This app was perfect prior to the recent update. Some users were complaining about the app not closing because it was multitasking. Multitasking was great. I was able to have the amp running in the background and read music or tab in another. Please bring back multitasking and just write a note to users how to close a program running in the back ground. It's simple to close but now the program lacks the functionality that made it better than the other products on the market....

Don't waste your money. Anyone that says this Is a great app is lying. I bought the iRig and gave this thing a fair shake even though I read the bad reviews, I listened to the good instead. My bad. The fact they say turn down the volume is a joke in itself. I tried with both my iPhone earbuds as well as a set of Bose headset. You can hardly hear it. All the way up. Can still hear my stings better than the amp. This a a joke and a waste of your hard earned bread. Go buy a belt amp. I beg you to listen to me.

Actually pretty fun!. Even the free version of this app is good. The sounds are great on the amp mods and the stomps sound great too. My only complaint is that there’s a slight latency when you are running multiple stomps at once. Doesn’t bother me much. Absolutely recommend. Beats the hell out of those silly headphone amps. Great for practicing.

Peice of s&**!!!!. DO NOT BUY or download!!! Awful. Tried using it on iPhone 5s. Wouldn't connect half the time, "quick start" doesn't give you the simple "do this to make sound out of your guitar". It has terrible trouble shooting. The big Manuel is poorly written. Ugh!!!!! Worst waste of time ever. NEVER explains how to use it without headphones, nor does it even mention the words "blue tooth". Totally lacking any ability to actually run device through a regular amp. Ugh. Soooo disappointed.

Doesn't work, can't re-upload, out money for add-ons. At first i thought this is so cool. I even added some features. Then i started having problems hearing any of the effects at all. I'll try deleting and re-upping but i'm not very happy right now. Seems to happen a lot with these iPhone music apps. So...I delete it and try to re-upload as iTunes had previously allowed me to re-upload the apps if something went wrong. NOT. Now I'm out the money I paid for upgrades to the free version and.......I'm REALLY not happy with IKmultimedia right now.

Great app. Playing in a cover band this app is perfect for learning new songs. Simple, and sounds decent. Ability to play along, loop sections, delete vocals and slow down song without affecting pitch. I love it. Let's me play along or learn new songs quietly without waking wife or child. Not the same as cranking my marshall or Mesa but this app is great for what it is. Highly recommended for guitarists.

No complaints. I'm using this with the cheapest iRig I could find to pull audio from a mixer. Controls are a little difficult to use but I attribute that to the iPod Touch form factor not this app. I don't do any mixing or more than the barest level setting. For my use, I have no complaints. Would be great if the app was available for more than niche products like apple, i.e., mainstream consumer devices.

Interface = Incredible; Sound Quality = Mediocre. Wow, I wish I could rate this app on interface and graphics alone. It's very well thought out for s small touch screen. And the tuner and metronome are much needed features that I'm glad to see included in the first version. But the app suffers greatly in sound quality. Thin and digital sounding. Bummer. I have the full desktop Amplitube 3 plugin and the sounds are phenomenal. Wish they would have carried those over to this.

Don't let cranky idiots keep you from a great app. Lots of cranky idiots who either a) expect this to sound like a Plexi in Abbey Road Studios or b) can't figure out how to work a simple application. This thing si amazing, sounds awesome, is easy to use. I plug it directly into my amp and it makes a great sounding set of pedals and preamps and amp models. The new Fender amps sound amazing and the 65 Twin with the Fender overdrive I'm going to be using for a gig.

In app purchases!!. Bought the irig hd and couldn't be happier with that. However, I installed the amplitube app. (which if you look at the irig hd box, makes it seem like if you buy the irig, all sorts of great amplitube stuff is free). The free version is free. And by registering your irig you get the "paid" app version. Pffft. Sure, you get a couple of amps and pedals, but no more than you get for the free garage band. And with all the free stuff out there, I'm not about to shell out additional $$ for in app purchases.

Used to be better. Many years ago I bought a version of this ap for $10 that had a great 4 trac recorder. Over time the features that were included with original purchase were taken away and required a charge. I eventually deleted this ap because it became unusable. It would be nice if it would once again be possible to buy the recorder without all of the unneeded extra stuff that is ridiculously expensive that I’ll never use.

Noise won’t go away.. I re downloaded the app. I have it for iPad and iPhone. I had bought a few amp heads as well as pedals. Since re downloading it, it has this noise static that I can’t figure it out. It’s only on AmpliTube. GarageBand, no noise or crackle. It doesn’t make any sense. I wanna keep using it, if it can’t be fixed I’ll be using something else. What is it?

Great product - huge issues with iOS 16. First off, I am a huge IK fan. Their amp modeling, effects, and synthesis products are outstanding. I own a bunch of their desktop and mobile products. That being said, there are known issue with Amplitube for mobile devices and iOS 16. IK has been aware of the issues for months, but they have not fixed them. My biggest gripe is that the tempo cannot be adjusted on either the looper or the multitrack recorder. I contacted support, and they stated that using tap tempo function on the drum machine will affect the tempo of other devices. This is partly true as it works for the multitrack recorder. However, it does not work for the looper. IK, get your dev team on these issues now. You are damaging your reputation by allowing these problems to go unaddressed.

Serious bugs with iOS 16, developer never responded.. I used this app for many years to add music to the background with a microphone or an instrument, and it was working fine until iOS 16. Suddenly any recorded track is extremely distorted and there’s no way to fix it. Contacted the developer but they never responded and it continues to be a problem. I do not recommend this app if you are on iOS 16.

They cheat you and charge you again. If you upgrade to Amplitube full you have to purchase all the pedals again that you paid for in Amplitube Free. They don't tell you until you have already paid for the upgrade. Customer service told me to just buy it and tell apple to reimburse me but they charge the names of the bundles so that Apple cannot tell they are the same in app purchases. IK M makes good products but then cheats there own customers; it's company m.o. for hardware and software. I avoid them now.

Good; when working.. Perhaps this problem is just happening to me, but it seems that at random times, the app stops amplifying my guitar (can't hear it at all through the app). This happens at random times. However, I am fairly certain that it is a problem with the app and not the system, because I can hear the metronome play and the in-app tuner picks up and accurately displays the notes played my guitar. Also, it crashes quite a bit.

Only four star because it worked on my IPhone 6s. I’ve been using This AmpliTube app for sometime now and it work well on my iPhone 6s but I am disappointed because it will not work for my iPhone 11. I got the adapter to connect into the iPhone lightning jack but it will not work. I’m disappointed with Ik multi media for false advertising it’s compatibility with the new iPhones and IPads and I’m disappointed with apple for taking out the headphone jack.

IOS 5 Beta NOT WORKING. As a developer I have the pleasure of rendering some of my apps useless while I run beta copies. I want to write this review to inform IK that this app will emit a loud barely discernible screech upon playing. This has been tested and confirmed to be an issue on only iOS 5. I sure hope upon release that an update will follow quickly behind.

None of the versions are as advertised. Nice packaging, but once you open you realize you've been had. No song import/playback ability from iTunes. That was half the reason to get the thing- to play along with my favorite songs. LOTS of background noise/pops/hiss. Since you have to buy the iRig there are no free versions of any Amplitube apps. Just know that whichever of these apps you get that you need to add $40 for the iRig. Too bad...this has a lot of potential.

Really good App!. Don't listen to the critics. There were times when I thought It wasn't working too but just like the old Tascam 4 tracks, you have to ensure that the mute is off and you've disabled certain effects. This is great for old school analogue guys that want something digital and simple!

Great for the price.. This app is actually pretty amazing for the price, with a powerful recording interface. Yes, almost everything in it is an in-app purchase. Would be nice if several of those were just included. But overall, it's a great recording app with tons of customizable options. Very fun to use with Audiobus.

Does NOT work with iPod Touch. I have purchased the "iRig" about a year ago, it worked fine. Now it only works on my wife's iPad, too bad a purchased the upgrades on my iPod. I have contacted 'support' several times because of several problems in the past year and get the same responce..."We are aware of the problem. However, it is a very difficult problem to fix, look for furture updates"...Don't wasted your money on the 'iRig'...and don't waste your time with this app.
