### 1/5 — No record button

*2019-07-13*

You can hear yourself and the reverb but you can’t record anything basically pointless and all this is after you pay so it’s a pointless bummer

### 1/5 — This doesn't work.

*2016-06-05*

Everytime I try to record something, it just blocks my mic and its white noise.

### 5/5 — Ok

*2015-07-12*

Ok

### 3/5 — No preset save...

*2013-08-13*

The reverb itself is smooth and very good for an ios device but the fact you can't save presets is very frustrating. There are other equally good reverbs on the market at a fraction of the price of this one that offer all the pro features of this app, including preset management. I actually really like this reverb but Im not bothered about the advanced features of the pro version. This version does a good job as is for the price, but i don't think I'll be forking out an extra 10 quid for the opportunity to save my work. I don't think it would have hurt sales to allow preset saving on this version.
