If it’s the OS they’ve had ample time to update it so it works. Just another waste of money from IK programs. I won’t be buying anything else from them. I have several purchases that are now paper weights because of them not updating stuff if it doesn’t sell well. I don’t care how good some of their stuff is if it stops working in a short period of time. ### 1/5 — Won’t restore purchases *2026-06-13, version 4.14.5* Loved this program and spent a lot on it…came back to it after some time and it wont RESTORE purchases, just crashes and then keeps crashing. Tried delete and re-install, then the app works but crashes again on restore…rinse and repeat. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work *2026-06-12, version 4.14.5* As of the latest update the app won’t work on my IPad any more , developers have been notified , they’d said they are aware of it , has been 2 weeks and it’s still not working ### 1/5 — Falla en IPad 11gen! *2026-06-06, version 4.14.5* No ejecuta la app en IPad 11gen ### 1/5 — New iPad *2026-05-20, version 4.14.5* Does not work with the new iPad Air with M4 technology. So money was wasted in buying Bundles that no longer work. Very disappointed ☹️👎👎👎👎💣 ### 1/5 — App dejo de funcionar *2026-04-09, version 4.14.5* La app dejó de funcionar y en adición no reconoce ya las compras hechas dentro de la app. Ya estuve tratando de contactarlos y nada más no recibo respuesta…. Es una lástima por que era una buena app…. ### 1/5 — Belligerent Attitude *2026-03-13, version 4.14.5* iK is barely worth the trouble. Hideous attitude toward customers. This company literally takes back features and increases frustration on purpose. Their UI UX is a mess by design. Avoid like the plague. If you want to stay in iOS get Bias FX 1 or 2 with Bias Amp 2 while you still can or look for GigFast for .nam use complete with gate, drive, chorus, stereo echo and reverb. ### 1/5 — Where is my MARSHALL BRANDED Slash gear I paid for!!!??! *2026-02-17, version 4.14.5* This developer has gotten super lame. From adding and subtracting stuff from this app. To updates that are absolutely worthless, that sometimes happen a year or two between. Gear that I had paid for, suddenly disappears and is rebranded without any explanation or a heads up that this is happening. If you guys have licensing issues, that’s your own problem, what we paid for we should still be able to keep . I’m not happy with this whatsoever. Had I known this was going to happened I would not have updated. Now here I sit with my thumb up my but. Laf. ### 1/5 — Belligerent Attitude *2025-11-09* iK is barely worth the trouble. Hideous attitude toward customers. ## Frequently asked questions about AmpliTube for iPad ### What does AmpliTube do?
