No longer works on brand new iPad

It won’t load at all on new iPad. 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.

Won’t restore purchases

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.

Doesn’t work

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

New iPad

Does not work with the new iPad Air with M4 technology. So money was wasted in buying Bundles that no longer work. Very disappointed ☹️👎👎👎👎💣

Belligerent Attitude

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.

Where is my MARSHALL BRANDED Slash gear I paid for!!!??!

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.

Buyer beware

Before audio unit came to the iPad this was easily a 5 star app, now it’s about a 0 star app if you use IPad Daws. If you’re not looking to record using Daws and just want to use it as a standalone amp sim, cool, otherwise go with another amp sim that can be used as an audio unit

Buggy over priced app

I just lost everything i recorded in the app because it crashes when i go to open the recorder. And i can’t use the app at all because the recorder is muting the fx. That alone is the stupidest app design decision, allow the recorder take over the whole app. I can’t back up the files because i have a pc. My only option is to delete the app so i can use it again. Over priced for how unprofessional it is.

Spend a small fortune and get nothing

I purchased AmpliTube Max and Tonex Max for my computer. I bought a Tonex Pedal, iRig, iRig HD USB, Axe I/O, Axe I/O One, and I pre-ordered a Tonex One Pedal. All in, I’ve spent more than $1,200 on equipment and software. On my computer, I have nearly every pedal, amp and cabinet available, so then I moved on to getting my “mobile” rig in order.

I download AmpliTube on my iPad and iPhone, logged into my account, registered every serial number I have into the app, hooked up my iRig, choose a preset, and a window popped up saying I need to spend more money on in-app purchases. I also cant do loops or record more than two tracks without getting the same pop up telling me I need to spend more money. I choose a different cabinet … pop up window asking for more money. I choose a different amp … pop up window asking for more money. I pick a different pedal … pop up window asking for more money.

I wrote the company, and they said (in summary), the iPad and iPhone apps are different, and I have to pay for these items again. I even asked if they could provide me a serial number to unlock the features as a courtesy given how much I’ve spent to unlock them on my computer. They said no.

Despite being the same company, using the same account, and using the same hardware interfaces, they will charge you twice if you want to use your stuff in this app as well.

Expensive for nothing !

Dont buy this app it sound like a crap!!!!

Focusrite support???

The known bug preventing me from using a Focusrite is a huge let down. Especially after spending money on amps and pedals. Focusrite sounds way better than the irig hd!!

Still the best, AUv3 upgrade would be better though

I purchased AT 12 years ago, I was amazed with it back then, I am still amazed by it now. I use it inside Cubasis3 as IAA, but I wish it could be upgraded to AUv3 because I like to play more than one guitar part in a project, I usually freeze my first recorded GTR track and open another track using AT, but any changes required to the first GTR part would mean closing the second instance of AT, then unfreeze the first track and so on and on……. AUv3 would solve this exhausting process.

Glitchy audio in iPadOS 16

The audio is glitching really bad in iPadOS 16.3 when using the internal speaker output, or using IAA from another internal source. I don’t hear the glitching when in- and outputting through an external audio-interface. Hoping for a fix. Because in the current state I can no linger use Amplitube for re-amping on my iPad. Please fix this guys 🙏🙏🙏

Misleading

I love Amplitube for sound and ease; but here’s the thing - I bought the bundle with Slash. I also have it for my Mac. There is gear not included in the iPad version that you get in the Mac version that you need to buy separate. It goes for all of the packages. It blows my mind. All in should be all in. But the sims sound great so there’s that, I guess. Just know that going in.

Nothing new in 6 years besides iap’s

Pretty much outdated, nothing really new feature wise has been added or improved in half a decade, just more iap’s of new amps that I’ve long stopped investing in since now we have developers who make amp sims that support auv3, which this does not and probably never will. Ik multimedia has no vision for the future as far as this and many of their other apps go, they’re stuck in the past or just aren’t interested in competing with developers who are keeping up with the IPad/IOS platform, if this was 2013 their apps would be relevant, now they’re just relics of the past.

No decent auto wash envelope filter

Of the available pedals, there is only one envelope filter and it is terrible, huge aliasing, it isn’t useful at all. Which makes me nervous about buying more pedals. I love the GUI but the sound is horrid. I hope it improves.
