Lack of support
It’s sad to see this app neglected. Requests: an appropriate font for expressions, aspect ratio support for newer devices, a better tutorial for those new to the app.
Please fix layout issue and update
Do this app the justice it deserves. You have a great 5 star app that just needs some polishing. It’s a work of art.
Literally the best music app
This is the best synth app on ios. You can program your own anything.
I use AnalogKit.
Aphex Twin knows about this app (I think he uses it for fun too!)
This is just about one of the best things you could get on ios.

Visually stunning but buggy
The UI is mostly a pleasure. Very well thought out patching interface with few inconveniences. The problems begin in actual use, however. It crashes very often, sometimes on saving (ironic). My biggest gripe is I cannot record and export sound directly from inside the app. Sounds solid, please fix those bugs and give us ability to record the output.

Confusing and fidgety
The tutorial is so terrible and there is no way to tell what the actual result is supposed to be .another poorley designed menu on top of menu nightmare.boring and fidgetey.i just bought a real modular and it just keeps giving ,this is a joke i will just forget about modular synths on the ipad .and whats on offer sounds cheap and horrible..too bad. A total waste of time and money ...peace christo

Simply outstanding!
I can honestly say this probably one of my favourite apps of all time. Analogkit pretty much represents exactly what I've always wanted to do with my iPad but could never find an app that was up to the task. These guys have found a perfect balance between being easy to learn, use and have fun with, capable of producing high quality audio and being powerful and flexible enough for you to create AND control in real time without being distracted by a poorly designed interface.

Analogkit. This is a pretty big deal. Modular synthesists, electronics tinkerers, educators, students of electronic sound, instrument designers, circuit benders, programming-curious music folk, and noise musicians have a great environment here for exploring musical gadgetry, and being able to make music once the tinkering is done.
A lot of the fun of modular synths is playing with the knobs, once a patch is together. This one of the main reasons AnalogKit is working out here: the container system for combining modules together, and choosing what is visible, makes it so you can hide all of the spaghetti of cables and utility, behind a front panel, once you're ready to play. It also makes reusing modules you make easy, so you don't have to spend time headscratching and remaking something you may have done in another project. I read the developers were using their beta version of the app to perform with, which shows in the UI, and the playability of the app..
As well as the container system, the Swap Meet, the online community for sharing modules and projects directly within the app, plays a large part in the current and future potential for the app. Already there are lots of outlandish, fun creations to try out ("the Mumbler", "Plucked Ostrich"), as well as utilities that I couldn't build, like a triggering oscilloscope, and phaser pedal, etc... Casual users, without modular synthesis knowledge, can download projects and play music with them, and if they're curious, also look inside to see how they're made, or even with no curiosity, be able to reuse modules and parts for their projects, without needing to understand how they were built, on a lower level.
There are some bugs, but the developers are responsive and enthusiastic about fixing them and fine tuning. Their plethora of shared projects are really cool, too, like the lofi video games and gibberish talking generator.
Highly recommended! Apps like this are pushing the boundaries of the tablet as an outrageous music making thingy.

It looks like one of the best.
An amazing piece of work. Just the possibility that it might be half as good as it looks made me interested. I waited for the first sale, which is still on and had to get it. This is pure science lab but if you dont like maths just use a module made by the geeks that do. I might not use it too its full but I can grab what I like and use it. Audiobus and midi support and more than this a strong community behind it. Truely amazing.

Great Concept
Very cool app. The only issue I have is that it keeps crashing on start up after closing out. I keep having to delete and download every time and then sign back in to see my backed up devices.
Looks great but more crashes than the a team
Looks like a great app but sadly crashes my iPad mini 2 loads and when it doesn't it gives out sound sometimes but mostly doesn't! Maybe when I get a new iPad it'll run like a dream? Here's hoping.....
Straight Forward Modular
The addition of virtual midi, the ability to group components into modules, Audiobus support, and a place to share module creations make this a very useful app. Being able to use midi learn to control knobs allows you to use existing hardware or midi apps for control. Can get some really nice sounds going with the demo modules and tutorials.

Enormous potential and heaps of fun
For anyone who enjoys modular synthesis this is a fantastic app. Just updated so it will work on iOS7 I can use it which pleases me enormously. I've given it five stars because it's such fun. Really it should only have four so far. More instructions and explanations would help me. I'm sure some can manage without them but I'd appreciate more info and I can't believe I'm alone in that. It does have a great scope to use it in a more surface way or else to get right down to the component parts and build something up from the ground (which is where I really would need some guidance!) An excellent start though with so much potential. I look forward to further updates with glee :-)

Awesome!
If you are looking for a mini-reaktor modular synth/fx, this is it. Even if u don't start synths from scratch, u can plug pre-made synths and fx. New stuff keeps coming cuz of the community based synth builders so you can enjoy this as well. U can also do visuals with it. Highly recommanded!
Ab Fab
Once virtual MIDI has been fixed (next update) this will be five stars for sure. It sounds really good and opens up so many options. You can go deep as you like. It's a synth explorers dream.
What a blast!
If you're looking for a software modular for iPad, this is it. There's nothing "semi" about it, and it's surprisingly deep. It sticks to old-school sounds and concepts, but in a way, that makes it more useful for learning (you can drill all the way down to the equations).
Interesting that this appears a day after Reaktor 6 drops. It's a good time to be into virtual patch cables!
Docs are very thin (this will be of no use to you if you know nothing about subtractive synthesis), but if you're already a modular fan, you'll have a ball right away. The interface is very well thought out, and there's a "swap meet" facility so people can share patches.
Don't know if I'll make an album with it, but I can't put it down.

Deeply cool
The developer is full-on on the case, (midi and iOS issues sorted pending Apple review) and this synth/fx playground/toolbox is an insane beast, in the best most accessible sense. Amazing 1.0
This app right here
This app is amazing. I bought this app because it works so well with audiobus. Days of in app effects purchases are in my mind a thing of the past. It's like max for live but for the iPad. Definitely a must have for anyone who uses the iPad for music production. I would write more but then I would have less time to use this app.

Unusable for me - Crashes
I just purchased and installed this and unfortunately cannot use it. It crashes on my iPad2 running IOS 7.
