This app seems not to support the rig stomp (not io). Is this the case? Am I banging my head agin a brick wall? ### 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 — カスすぎる *2025-08-10, version 4.14.5* ノイズしか出ない ### 1/5 — iRig BlueBoard não conecta mais! *2025-06-10, version 4.14.5* Meu dispositivo não conectou mais desde a última atualização parou de funcionar. Alguém mais com o mesmo problema? ### 1/5 — O Audio Out não funciona. *2025-06-01, version 4.14.4* No iPad 9 com o iRig HD, o áudio out para os fones não funciona, qualquer que seja osetup do iPad. O Garage Band está perfeito usando o IRig HD. Pelo que vi no forum, mandaram reclamar com a área técnica por email. ### 1/5 — Ya no sirve *2025-04-28, version 4.14.4* No sirve la exportación de archivos de audio altera la velocidad de reproducción y grabación, con iPad viejo funcionaba, y el desarrollador no actualiza, pero si es costoso. ### 1/5 — Essa nova atualização *2025-04-28, version 4.14.4* Nova atualização faz que o app fica mudo ### 1/5 — S I t *2025-01-06, version 4.14.3* Garbage don’t buy ### 1/5 — No funciona bien con iPad *2024-12-05, version 4.14.3* Va bien con mi iPhone pero no hay forma de usarla con iPad ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-09-06, version 4.14.3* Crashes all the time. Loses recordings and presets. ### 2/5 — เสียงหอน *2024-05-26, version 4.14.3* เสียงหอน ### 4/5 — Problema con IpadOS *2024-05-14, version 4.14.3* Han pasado años y aún no logran corregir el problema que provoca reinicios aleatorios cuando se conecta el iPad al stomp I/O. Vamos! El producto es bueno pero corrijan esos errores cruciales! ### 1/5 — Buy Amplitube Max, pay twice to unlock *2024-04-20, version 4.14.3* I purchased Amplitube Max from IK Multimedia’s web site and have unlocked all the amps, pedals, etc., and despite using the same account credentials to log in, none of these items are unlocked in the iOS version of the app. What this effectively means is, if I want to use an effect from something I already paid to use, I have to purchase it again through the iOS app. If you want to only spend your money once, pick which platform you want to use … your computer, or your iOS device. ### 1/5 — AmpliTube SE *2024-04-15, version 4.14.3* К irig usb давалась версия SE , полностью пустая ### 1/5 — everything is locked behind a pay wall *2024-03-22, version 4.14.3* I can’t even make tones and no free distortion ### 1/5 — IRig usb et iPad. *2024-03-09, version 4.14.3* Ne fonctionne pas avec un iRig Usb et iPad. Très déçu ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — bereue den Kauf *2025-12-30, version 4.14.5* im Musikgeschäft vor Ort wurde eine Empfehlung für dieses Produkt ausgesprochen. Nun stelle ich fest, dass ich zu einem Premiumpreis ein Produkt gekauft habe, dass ohne weitere Zuzahlungen nur sehr eingeschränkt nutzbar ist. Habe eine Ampsimulation gekauft und bin auch akustisch enttäuscht. Ich habe das Interface weiterverschenkt und kaufe nichts mehr von dieser Firma. ### 1/5 — Avoid *2025-11-28, version 4.14.5* I can’t believe I paid money for this. It is extremely complicated, to the point that it’s usually not even working. There is no support or help. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Light-Version einer großartigen Software *2026-01-23, version 4.14.5* Ich spiele Amplitube 5 auf dem Mac schon sehr lange. Da ich ab und an Bandprobe habe und inzwischen auch auf meinem iPad schnell Gitarre üben und spielen will, hab ich mir die Light-Version von Amplitube hier heruntergeladen. Natürlich ist das nicht zu vergleichen mit der Vollversion! Natürlich sind hier viele Amps nicht „for free“. Und natürlich merkt man, dass der Hersteller das große Produkt indirekt bewerben will. Aber ganz ehrlich: Diese kleine Version von Amplitube macht Spaß. Ich spiele sie direkt über ein iRig. Ich find den Sound ok. Es sind auch ein paar Pedale freigeschaltet. Auch ein Bass-Amp. Wer in die Zukunft blickt, der weiß, dass eh viel kommen wird auf dem Markt. Ich nutze Amplitube eben mal und bin zufrieden. ### 5/5 — brill *2025-09-26, version 4.14.5* don't listen to the whiners....I have been a pro for 30 years, this is incredible. I still use it in 2025, works great with my blueboard. It has a few models and cabs that rock my socks off even today, and also has looper and looks and feels beautiful. And if you are strapped for cash, you can get a killer amp and cab of your choice for about 10 bucks. You can make a whole record with just that. I did. It has really great OFFICIAL amps from Fender, Seymour Duncan and more....what's not to like ### 5/5 — brill *2025-04-05, version 4.14.4* brill ### 5/5 — Lopo *2024-05-17, version 4.14.3* No puedo usar el Lopo y eso que tuve que comprar la versión ### 5/5 — Enfin cela fonctionne *2024-02-09, version 4.14.3* Tous les buts ont été résolus pour moi cela fonctionne enfin. ### 5/5 — เสียงดีนะ *2023-10-03, version 4.14.2* ขยันอัปเกรดบ่อย ๆ นะ ชอบ ### 5/5 — Love it! *2023-06-10, version 4.14.1* Sounds great, works great, easy to use, nice interface. Give it a try! ### 5/5 — XTONE pro! *2022-06-06, version 4.13* Не плохо! Но при подключении XTONE pro педали эффектов подключаются и не отключаются, отключаются только вручную. ### 5/5 — Great and fun *2022-05-01, version 4.13* Experiencing different tone of premium amps and stomp ### 5/5 — Amplitude 5 *2021-12-09, version 4.12.1* Quando irão lançar AmpliTube 5 para iPad? O AmpliTube 4 está ficando ultrapassado ,está perdendo espaço para o Bias FX 2 e o THU-Overloud… devido ao Impulse Response --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
