*2015-10-07*

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2015-04-26*

This is a really cool app. And if you need to hear something in the distance then this will do it! Love it!

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2015-01-22*

Wonderful reverb effects for voice and acoustic guitar recording. Makes everything sound so much better

### 3/5 — Excellent… almost

*2015-01-06*

Ties in beautifully to Audiobus, fixes a problem I had in switching intra-app songs (sustain keeps sound happening while I switch presets), pro controls are defining and smooth.  I'm ready to buy but I can't get it to stop running in the background unless I power down and restart.

### 5/5 — Excellent Reverb

*2014-12-18*

Best free reverb app on the market. Simple. Effective. Realistic effects. I highly recommend it.

### 1/5 — Beware!!

*2014-04-16*

Let's see.  I heard some reverb, the sliders didn't work nor do any of the buttons.  It froze my phone... Couldn't even turn the phone off.  Must be really buggy.   Can't recommend.   I'm on an IPhone 3GS with updated software.
