This app seems not to support the rig stomp (not io). Is this the case? Am I banging my head agin a brick wall? ### 1/5 — Permanente Abstürze nach Wiederherstellen der Käufe *2026-07-08, version 4.14.5* Nach einem Wiederherstellen der Käufe läuft die App nicht mehr und stürzt immer ab. Der App-Support scheint sich -trotz Problemmeldung- nicht um eine Problembehebung zu kümmern. Keine Updates mehr seit 1Jahr. Meine persönliche Einschätzung: IK Multimedia scheint kein Interesse mehr an dieser App zu haben. Was ist mit meinen bezahlten Einkäufen? ### 1/5 — Frustrating *2026-07-04, version 4.14.5* Won’t recognize focusrite scarlett . . . . ### 1/5 — No abre *2026-06-29, version 4.14.5* Se cierra la app apenas y la abres, no sirve y perdí las compras que realice ### 1/5 — Estáis fastidiando el programa y esto es una estafa *2026-06-23, version 4.14.5* He comprado el pack de 100€ y su única respuesta tras un 2 meses y 4 intentos de contacto es esperar a una actualización sin fecha programada. Me he gastado 200€ en la inutilidad, y lo que más me fastidia es que se han cargado un programa de la leche por no cuidar estas cosas. ¡ ARREGLAD ESTO YA! ### 1/5 — App Keeps Crashing *2026-06-14, version 4.14.5* The app keeps crashing/exiting for no reason. I contacted support and they say they are working on it but have no timeline to when this will be fixed. The workaround they advised me to use is to turn off WiFi and then start the app. This is really dumb. The fact that they can’t fix the problem in a timely manner shows how low a priority this is. Unfortunately I cannot get a refund for my iRig HD X device. ### 4/5 — Great Practice Setup *2026-06-07, version 4.14.5* This is great for when you want to travel with your guitar and don’t want to lug an amplifier. The sound is only as strong as the speaker wattage. Hardwiring into Portable Bluetooth speakers will work better than headphones. A home audio receiver will work better than Bluetooth. A powerful car bass amp is golden to plug into as well. Use quality guitar and Standard 2.5mm to RCA cables. ### 1/5 — CS TO ESSENTIAL s *2026-06-06, version 4.14.5* Purchased Irig USB.Followed instructions to the letter multiple times to get AmpliTube cs to upgrade to the paid version as it should come with my irig purchase….Does not work ### 1/5 — Won’t even launch! *2026-05-17, version 4.14.5* I bought the iRig 2 and the app won’t even open ### 1/5 — Não Abre o App *2026-05-16, version 4.14.5* Parou de funcionar… Mesmo desinstalando e instalando novamente… Ou arruma ou devolve meu dinheiro ## Frequently asked questions about AmpliTube CS for iPad ### What does AmpliTube CS do?
