### 5/5 — Used to work great

*2026-02-17*

Sometimes i get crackles that won’t go away now when adjusting the pitch.

### 1/5 — Horrendous Latency

*2024-04-27*

Paid $9.99 for this auv3 plugin that takes about a century for the audio to loop back. My other plugins have no latency and this one has no use with that defect. Using in loopy pro and will wait and hope for a fix soon. I was really excited to use this without issue as it sounded very powerful.

### 4/5 — Super fun.

*2023-11-18*

PitchPad isn’t the most feature rich app on the App Store but it’s a ton of fun. And with all the parameters exposed, you can get into some really wild territory. 4.25/5.

### 5/5 — Used in 98% of my work!

*2023-11-16*

Fun and worthwhile. It takes stagnant sounds and give them life like you wouldn’t believe!

**Developer response:** Yay! Thanks so much!
