### 2/5 — Crash

*2018-02-17*

Always crash on november rain preset please fix it

### 3/5 — Good, but crashing

*2016-07-19*

App seems fairly stable but occasionally slow to respond. The November Rain preset crashes every time- please sort.

### 2/5 — Bad update

*2016-04-04*

A lot of the really good presets got removed such as the welcome to the jungle preset

### 2/5 — Not iOS 8 compatible, bundle and separate apps makes no sense

*2014-11-09, version 1.5.1*

I wish I paid closer attention to the last version update date when I purchased this with the full Amplitube bundle.  Although the main/original Amplitube app was updated in Oct 2014, the Fender, Slash, Jimi Hendrix, and Orange versions have not been updated and are not iOS 8 compatible.  

Also, this bundle of separate apps makes no sense.  Yes, the Fender, Slash, Jimi Hendrix, and Orange versions are separate stand-alone apps, instead of being in-app purchases within the main Amplitube app, which would make much more sense and be more useable.  They've made it impossible to mix and match the amps, cabs, and effects between them. 

It's also a bit of a ripoff that the bundle does not include the multitrack recorder, and if you want it, you have to purchase it separately for each of the Amplitube apps. 

Given how happy I've been with other IK MultiMedia products, like the iRigs, of which I own 3, the Amplitube family has been a bit of a disappointment.

### 2/5 — Great tone and faithful to Slash's sound

*2014-11-07, version 1.5.1*

Would be more stars with reverb, but sounds good nonetheless.... Needs to be updated so you can restore purchases into amplitube!!!

### 3/5 — Pretty good

*2013-12-26*

The amps sound great the presets are pretty good especially the paradise chorus tone. If the gain is too high you'll get a lot of feedback which is disappointing. Also for some reason I didn't get the wah stomp box with the app which is strange because most people would say the wah is slash's most used effect. The clean tones are very nice though good app to just jam along to songs with.

### 3/5 — Great but few bugs

*2013-07-01*

Great app, but if volume is put high or gain in too high or the distortion is used on the wah pedal there is a lot of feedback that can't be stopped...

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2012-11-16, version 1.0*

Its not working! When  the apps start the program crash
I need my money back

### 1/5 — Awesome but..............

*2012-10-09, version 1.0*

Any add on items like this can not be combined with any other Amplitube products apps.  Please fix this.  I have spent a lot of money on your products and just want everything in one app.  You must buy everything as an in app purchase .  Do not purchase separate .

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2012-09-12*

I could ramble on for a very lengthy time about some of the flaws in this app... But the bottom line is its a waste of money do not buy it. I am genuinely shocked that slash would put his name on something that sounds this bad. The presets are crap the amp does nothing but feed back at high gain and I found myself getting very annoyed trying to find a tone that doesn't sound like some beginner trying out a 10 watt Marshall with a stagg guitar in a shop. Wish I could get my money back. If you value a good tone you will find yourself wishing you hadn't of spent the money on this app. I play a Gibson les Paul classic normally through a line 6 spider valve but would rather use my 10 watt Marshall I got when I started playing 8 years ago than this piece of crap!

### 2/5 — Dean

*2012-07-14*

Unfortunately this app purchase doesn't show up in other amplitube apps! Can the developers please see their way past pure greed and make it so that I can have all my amplitube purchases show up in one overall app?

This app sounds wicked....granted there is a lot of messing around with settings because of the Irig's tendency to throw out noise but once it's set up it sounds stunning and the presets are pretty damn good......hopefully the excellent Jimi Hendrix software will also be available soon?!

### 2/5 — Close but...

*2012-06-19, version 1.0*

I friend of mine has amplitube 3/pc and he was able to get the slash tone after many amp/stomp configurations. Once this app came out I believed it was just plug the guitar on and start playing...not even close.

### 1/5 — Sounds TERRIBLE!

*2014-09-25*

Now i hate to be the one even writing this review, being a huge slash fan but wow... This app simply sounds terrible. Always gives me a hissing sound and a lot of feedback! Its unusable. After fiddling around with it for 3 hours ive decided to give up. A refund wound be great

### 1/5 — Doesn't work anymore

*2014-08-11*

Great ... until the volume gave up. So, I reloaded the app and it still won't work. Very disappointed. HELP !

### 1/5 — Sound.....

*2014-03-14, version 1.5.1*

Why am I not getting any sound thru my ipad using slash amplitube?

### 1/5 — Where has the app gone?

*2013-12-30*

Bought the full version of Amplitube then the Slash add on just over a year ago when it was half price, changed iPads  a month ago and the full version is now gone and I need to buy it again?
Very strange app as some of the tools I remember from when it was previously installed seem to have gone also?
Very noisy and hissy generally and a bit disappointing

### 1/5 — It's a lie!

*2013-10-14, version 1.5*

They tell you that comes with a wah distortion... I am still looking for it, because my packed just came with 5 stomp, not 6 as they say!

How can I do a complain about it?

### 1/5 — Mr

*2013-09-27, version 1.0*

No iOS 7 support. Won't work at all

### 1/5 — Utter waste of money!!

*2013-05-31*

DO NOT BUY THIS APP!
This app suffers from terrible crosstalk, I contacted in multimedia about this and they said they were aware of it, but they found it to be acceptable during their testing, and to wait for the irig HD which would eliminate the problem, well during "my testing" as a consumer who has paid money for the app and the irig interface, I find it near unusable! The amp models feedback all the time, high gain settings hiss, and if you try and play along with the built in audio player then forget it! I would like my money back as I don't see why I need to pay a further £80 for the irig HD to correct the problems they were already aware of.
My setup is ipad/phone, irig, line 6 cables, Gibson les Paul

### 1/5 — Horrible results so far

*2013-05-22, version 1.0*

Don't know if its the irig or this app, but feedback is making me wish I'd purchased neither. Wanted it to work so badly

### 1/5 — JUNK!

*2013-01-11, version 1.0*

Don't even waste your money! Way overpriced! Get real pedals because this is all just a gimmick to make you waste your money! Beyond disappointed! RIP OFF!

### 1/5 — Not worth the money

*2012-12-27*

While the app doesn't cost much, it doesn't do much either. I found that the feedback is so bad throw headphones that you have to use it at a really low volume, to the point where you may as well not use it at all.

I will be looking for a refund on the app and also the iRig I bought.

I am a big fan of Slash's tone and was disappointed with the sound of this app.

### 5/5 — Slash Amplitube

*2014-09-14*

J'adore!!! Encore en exploration je vous le recommande!

### 5/5 — Exceptional App!!! Must buy!!!

*2014-02-22, version 1.5.1*

I have always been in awe of Slash's guitar playing!  The greatest rock guitarist of my generation.  His playing is versatile, heavy, hard, and tight.  This app would be great for anyone who plays rock/medal/blues.  Many different effects are available for a great assortment of sound. Great purchase and worth every cent!!!

### 5/5 — Cool

*2014-02-05*

I am amazed how good this app is, definitely worth the price

### 5/5 — One GR8 APP 5 STAARS JUST AINT ENOUGH.

*2013-10-31*

This app is as cool ice & the tricks you can play are as hot as an Indian curry or Mexican chilly.

### 5/5 — Fantastic tone/great app

*2013-06-10*

I purchased this app as an alternative to using an amp in my apartment with very thin walls. I own the JCM Slash head and it just isn't feasible to use in a setting such as this. I have to say that I was skeptical at first, but after using it for a few days I am beyond impressed with the tones I am able to achieve. I am able to practice using my tone without having to use my amp. Really doesn't get any better. As for the previous review, I have not experienced any feedback while using the app on my iPad through headphones/stereo speakers. Absolutely love this app, can't say enough about it!

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2013-05-29*

Awesome value for money. I reckon this amp sim is as close to the AFD tone as you can get without actually using the real thing.

Make sure you don't use an iRig or any other interface that connects in from your apple device headphone socket as it sounds poor. To get the best out of this app you need an interface that inputs through the dock connector, such as the iRig HD or Apogee JAM.

### 5/5 — Pretty close..

*2012-07-30, version 1.0*

Wouldn't say you plug in and sound like Slash,but I don't want to sound like anyone but me anyway.With that being said,it's sounds very Marshall like,and the effects work pretty well,fairly accurate renditions of their physical counterparts.That is what I was hoping for,and wasn't disappointed.Just a jamming rig for me,and it does that pretty well.  PS: IK how about a Jimi Hendrix Amplitube for iPad....:) Next!

### 5/5 — Just,,,,,,,,GREAT!

*2012-06-29*

Just,,,,,,,,,GREAT!

### 5/5 — Very nice

*2012-06-19, version 1.0*

I purchased this today played with it for a few, and love it. Very smooth sounds especially the Slash head.

### 5/5 — Amplislash!...

*2012-06-17*

Well well!... Got to say its very good firstly... Only found one bug so far with Octo blue... That needs looking at but I'm having trouble putting it down I must say... My guitar is getting a good old dusting off because of this app.. 8 track upgrade is a bit expensive but probably worth it... Nice one guys check out the little bug though...
