No IAA or Audiobus throughput

IAA in an effects slot stopped working suddenly on my iPad 2 over decade ago. Never worked on the Pro 9.7 and still doesn’t on new Air M2. Audiobus neither. I CAN upload an audio file into the app, process it and export back out, so that is something. I assume direct input will work, but it doesn’t show up as a generator so there are no live recording possibilities into any other app. The amps and effects are pretty good, but not enough to warrant more than one star considering the many better functioning alternatives. Seriously, it is questionable this is still for sale. I think I dealt with support years ago to work out restore on another iPad, but the migration process to the Air M2 installed it with all purchases intact, just noting for what it’s worth to somebody.

DOA

Is this app still even supported? In-app purchases are still live, but the last posted update is from 7 years ago. Just got a new iPad and can’t restore my purchases. Only option is to repurchase a bundle again. Guess it’s time to switch to an app that’s actually kept relevant.

Great Clean Amp Sound

Too many virtual amps sell themselves on their overdriven and distorted tones, but are let down by weak and raspy clean tones. However, this baby really delivers some beautiful, full-bodied clean amp tones as well as the other overdriven stuff. In particular, I could play my Gibson through the emulation of the Peavey Valve King on its clean setting all day. It is the next best thing to plugging it into a nice clean real Fender valve amp. There are some other interesting items, like the Fender Acoustasonic. It would be nice if there were more reverb and tape echo emulations (Roland Space Echo) with more controls on them. Perhaps an emulation of an Orange and Ampeg guitar amp would be nice.

iOS 16.5.1, iOS 16.6 Feedback and distortion

On my one device that has iOS 16.5 I have no issues with the app, but on my other iOS 16.5.1 and iOS 16.6 devices the audio comes out with this digital distorted with some feedback sometimes. It's also affecting bias amp 2 so I assume it just needs an update since the latest OS version broke something on these apps.

Lost all my purchases

Honestly I love this app used it allot a while back then I stop (long story) but just recently I got a new bass and no amp so I downloaded the app again and tried to restore purchases but nothing.. same Apple account and all.. this sucks

AmpKit Pushed Their Paying Customers Off a Cliff

They apparently sold to a TAB company and they tied the app to their tablature business. Always know that this can happen with any app. Another common practice is to claw back features and sell them
back to you. Not to mention the new “RENTAL” craze. “You will own nothing and be happy.” “A steering wheel? You want a steering wheel? That’s another hundred dollars a month.”

I bought the whole package what feels like a decade ago. It was the best sounding app at the time. Now? Abandonware.

Stopped Working

Used this for years with my iRig interface, spent a bunch of money on all of the add-ons, and it quit working. Irig works fine with Garage Band and Amplitube, but not Ampkit. Not impressed.

Was my favorite app until ios16 and iPhone14pro

Please fix the OTG audio input problem and I’ll update the stars for the review.

Stopped working with Garageband

Can’t get it to work using Apple’s Inter-App Audio API and as of writing this, the app hasn’t been updated in 4 years! Agile Partners should be ashamed. I regret giving them my money. They haven’t kept their end of the deal.

Unable to restore purchases.

Similar to other comments, some of which got resolved, I’m unable to restore my purchases. I reported the bug and hope to hear back soon on a solution.

Does not work with air pods

No update since AirPods came out. Can’t use with a modern phone in a sensible manner.

Used to be good, be don’t buy this until they bring it up to date.

App is not bad but company is shady

Buy at your own risk. I bought tons of content in their other app Lick of the Day. I bought a new phone and iPad and they won’t let me install it on my new devices because I reached “device limit”. Sold my previous devices. When I try to contact support via the app or through their website they never respond. Been trying for 6 months. I’m sure they are happy to take the money and run. Do yourself a favor and find another product from a more reputable developer.

Not happy.

I had purchased every pack (the big everything bundle) ages ago (like maybe five iPhones back) and was supposed to get every new piece of kit included. I couldn’t find any ‘restore previous purchases’ button so clicked on the bundle to install it as AppStore gives message saying ‘you have previously paid for this and will be downloaded for free’ normally and then downloads your items, but it didn’t. It just changed another £40 nearly four what I had already had in the past. Why is there no restore feature in the settings? Makes no sense. Not happy

Dead App?

I was an early adopter of this app back when it was Peavey’s ampkit. Overall, this is a nice app with lots of versatility. I own ALL the upgrades and have used this extensively. However, it seems like Agile is letting this die on the vine. No updates to the app in two years. No new amp or effects models. No response to basic questions from their support website. I have to conclude they’ve decided they can’t compete with IK or Positive Grid (two good options).

Can’t restore in-app purchases after restoring iPhone

I recently had to restore my iPhone and after I did I lost the $39.99 in-app upgrade bundle with all the amps and effects. I submitted a couple of support requests but got no answer....so I’m dead in the water as the app is useless to me without all the amps and effects. The app wants me to pay another $39.99 to get the bundle which isn’t right!

Update, I was able to fix after reading a solution on one of the other reviews, so I upgraded to 4*s. Would have been 5 if the developer had responded and helped me

Still the most accessible guitar amp app for users of VoiceOver screen reader

I recently attempted restoring my prior purchases for this app and, like many, was originally disappointed.
However, within a few days I received a response with a restoration code. Perhaps I was lucky but nevertheless!
One amazing thing that goes for AmpKit is that, until today, is one of the most accessible guitar apps for users of VoiceOver screen reader.
I'm super-happy that the app still works well even on iOS 13.

They knowingly have two versions on the App Store causing Restore Purchases chaos

People are trying to restore a version that they haven’t purchased. The two apps are similarly named, so it’s easy to download the wrong one, and then mistakenly end up upgrading that version for another 34.99. Good luck trying to get your money back, because technically Agile tricked you into buying a whole different app.
