I still have them because they are INFINITELY more useful than the downgrade to Audanika which lacks the range of Sound Prism apps. I see this downgrade as an action to put a music learning tool in the hands of children and having to pay for songs as extortionary when they do not seem to be added to. Thankfully, SoundPrism apps still work on iPadOS 18.5 despite Grace Cloud stating that the apps will no longer be supported after 2022. Wake up, Grace Cloud !!. You are killing a good and very usable music tool in order to squeak out mony on a child’s dummy downed music tool with jukebox capability. What a freaking shame! ### 3/5 — very nice *2023-05-11* this is a very good app 👍 and it would be even nicer if you added sharps and flats just like sp pro. ### 3/5 — Confused. What happened to this app? *2022-12-31* This app was great before, especially as a midi controller. Now, the chord mode seems to be gone, and there is nothing its place but a list of Christmas songs? Why? **Developer response:** Hi 🙂 All the missing settings have just moved into the new preset management. Look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cEjVE9a3DA ### 4/5 — Very nice *2022-12-30* With the latest version, Audanica improved so much. I still miss more sounds. **Developer response:** Hey. Thanks for your feedback. Yes, there are features of SoundPrism that we still need to implement in Audanika. With Audanika 3, we made a big step towards making Audanika better than SoundPrism ever was. Have a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cEjVE9a3DA&t=1s ### 5/5 — Super gut gemacht !!! *2022-12-22* Das Spielen der vorgegebenen Songs macht echt gute Laune. Eine Abspielfunktion würde ich mir noch wünschen, damit ich auch die Lieder ins Ohr bekomme, die ich noch nicht kenne. Wenn man im Hintergrund noch ein Rhythmustool laufen lassen könnte wäre es Perfekt. Es ist ein Mega schönes Tool, einfach, ohne Vorkenntnisse, in die Welt des Musizierens einzutauchen. Weiter so !!! **Developer response:** Lieben Dank für diesen sehr hilfreichen Kommentar und auch die Entwicklungsideen. Abspielfunktion & Rhythmustool habe ich auf die Feature-Liste aufgenommen. Gabriel ### 5/5 — Probably the greatest musical instrument app available anywhere *2022-12-21* I have used sound prism since the beginning. Audanika is the newest version of the app. My greatest experience with Grace Cloud GmbH is how responsive and how great they are when I had questions. I would like to suggest to all users, let’s get the word out about this new musical instrument and get the entire planet on board using it! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for using SoundPrism for so many years. ❤️ Also, thank you for switching to Audanika and giving such a positive review. 🙏 We are working hard to add also the remaining SoundPrism features. Best, Gabriel ### 3/5 — Seven months, no progress *2022-08-01, version 2.0.1* Things take time, but people also get bored waiting. The control surface is innovative, and shows a lot of potential. I’d be more interested if the developers actually developed this app. Starting with adding AU3 and Midi in. ### 5/5 — This is the next step in the progression of this app. *2022-01-04* This is what SoundPrism was meant to mature into. I like the way this is laid out much better. It allows you to play the chords, bass and melody together in a way that makes so much sense. Watch the YouTube videos about how it’s meant to be played and you will agree. Well worth the price! I also appreciate that they made all the sounds free for SoundPrism to make up for the fact that it will be discontinued. I usually frown on app developers cancelling support for older software then force you to buy new software, but this is a whole new method with the capability of adding beautiful melodies. Plus they didn’t charge a large upgrade fee. Well worth it! 5 stars! ### 2/5 — Still no IAA or AVU3 *2021-12-24* I am sorry I bought this, Prism and Electro work great, but this thing not so much as I can’t get to it in AUM due to lack of, at the least, IAA. If you like stand alone apps and routing, go for it. **Developer response:** Hi. You are right. Temporarily IAA and long-term AUV3 are things every professional producer is definitely needing. Check out our development roadmap to see how we plan to realize these and other things: https://bit.ly/3lzTtg6 ### 5/5 — • Supports iOS 12! Yea! *2021-12-04* Nota Bene: To access the app’s settings, _double-tap_ on the @ in the upper right corner of the screen. Fwiw, now that the app bundle deal is actually available, I completed mine, finally getting the now soon-to-be obsolete SoundPrism Link Edition, because... well, really no good reason at this point, I guess... just $2 in the tip jar for the developer. Previously: Not seeing the “complete bundle” for purchase savings anywhere, though. **Developer response:** Sorry for that. Apple review took a long time to review the bundle. It is now available. ### 5/5 — They did it again *2021-12-04* Just amazing how easily you can play the most beautiful harmonies! The new layout affords the ability to play more nuanced harmonies than Soundprism, but the classic Soundprism way is still available. MIDI out is much appreciated and I can’t wait to see what else is in store! **Developer response:** Thank you so much for that awesome feedback. 🤩 Last week we released MIDI and more is about to come. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Undeveloped *2024-11-14* This looks like Sound Prism but yet it’s not and to call this better than Sound Prism is a complete joke.This is a beta version of Sound Prism that never got completed. ### 1/5 — I’m so sorry, but I’ll have to be absolutely honest *2024-08-08* This has till now haven’t even reached 20% of it’s potential, just look at GSI, Audiothing, OSC Audio, Bram, FAC, Paul just to name a few, what they’re coming with, they’ve raised the bar or the standard of AppStore’s credibility so high that soon the mainstream Corporate entities will be out of the action! I just want to wish you all the best. You may hate me, or not, I don’t care, because always stay away from the people who’re always praising you, which will eventually destroy your purpose of existence. Regards. ### 1/5 — No controls now *2023-01-10, version 3.0.3* Following recent updates there are now no controls available beyond playing pre recorded birthday and Christmas songs. Please fix. ### 1/5 — Also disappointed *2022-10-20* I purchased this app as I LOVED the original SoundPrism apps. But I don’t think it is worth the money. It is no way near better than the originals. This ‘upgraded’ app has many less features, options & sounds. This can be a fun app, but is way too limited & It is definitely not a worthy successor to the original Apps. **Developer response:** I'm sorry to have you disappointed with Audanika. Indeed it took way longer than expected to add critical SoundPrism features and especially more sounds. Have a look at the latest Audanika 3 update. It is a big step toward an Audanika that is much better than SoundPrism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cEjVE9a3DA&t=1s ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-10-19* This is no where near a successor to Sound Prims Pro, not special features. I want a refund . **Developer response:** With Audanika 3, we made a big step towards making Audanika better than SoundPrism ever was. Have a look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cEjVE9a3DA&t=1s ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2022-09-03* I downloaded this so-called successor to SoundPrism Pro - and it’s so disappointing compared to its predecessor. Wish I hadn’t bothered. Poorer UI, fewer sounds, less functionality. Wish I hadn’t bothered. Waste of money. ### 1/5 — Разочарование *2022-01-10* Midi host is empty.. In AUM not opens.. It’s simply than previous versions - better handling but not so playful .. without Midi and AuV3 it’s almost useless… Please fix midi and possibility to open in AUM **Developer response:** Is this problem still present? ### 1/5 — Aucun paramètre de reglage de canal midi malgré la comptabilité midi. *2021-12-09* Du coup complètement inutile à mon usage sur un synthe hardware. **Developer response:** Que te manque-t-il exactement pour utiliser Audanika avec un synthétiseur matériel ? As-tu regardé le tutoriel suivant ? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LSzaXEHQTc ### 1/5 — What’s the point of this app *2021-04-23, version 1.0* Bought this app thinking it would be like soundprism somewhat, but it has ONE sound, you cant connect to any other app, no midi out, this is literally pointless, refund needed ### 2/5 — Keine Optionen Verfügbar *2023-02-01* Beim Klick auf das Logo, bekomme ich nur „Meine Lieder, Geburtstagslieder und Weihnachtslieder“ aber keine weiteren Einstellungsmöglickeiten wie MIDI etc. angezeigt. Als langjähriger Soundprism Pro Benutzer, kommt mir Audanika auch weniger flexibel vor. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent midi controller *2026-06-21* Grab it now ### 5/5 — Excellente idée 🎵 *2024-12-08* A permis la découverte de la musique et des accords à ma petite nièce. Désormais connectée en midi pour moi-même qd je réfléchis à une nouvelle mélodie. ### 5/5 — Macht richtig Spaß *2023-04-22* Es ist total einfach die Lieder zu spielen, und macht viel spaß. Hat auf jeden Fall 5 Sterne verdient. **Developer response:** 🤩 ### 5/5 — Latest update is amazing *2023-03-23, version 4.0.0* With the latest update Audanika is now a worthy successor to soundprism. It completely customisable so you can go as high or as low as you want and it still works as a midi controller so you can play any sound you have. And it’s now free. Thanks to the developers. One addition I would like is if you could add the option in extensions to the bass section to play multiple deep notes simultaneously like soundprism had, which gave it a really big sounding bass. ### 5/5 — Update improves menu system *2023-03-09* Many thanks for the update with its much improved menu system. For those criticizing Audanika, I partially agree, but I also feel it has interesting qualities. I have kept SoundPrism Pro and SP Electro as I love them both in their original form. Just a tip: If you want to keep using SoundPrism Pro and SP Electro on your iPad don’t update them as the update will remove access to the app and will just show a splash screen advertising Audanika when you tap on their icon. I found this out on my iPad Air 2, where I no longer can use SoundPrism Pro, but I still have access to SP Electro as I didn’t update it. On my old iPad Air fortunately I still have them both as I haven’t updated them. ### 5/5 — 很有意思的弹琴app！ *2023-02-10* 按住屏幕的和声很好听 ### 5/5 — Good *2022-12-24, version 3.0.1* great app. I like it very much. thanks developer **Developer response:** ❤️ ### 5/5 — Fun to play *2022-12-23, version 3.0.1* The newest update to v3 combined with iOS16 make for a fantastic play surface that can be run side-by-side with AUM. The Christmas songs are a very fun way to learn new tunes, I greatly enjoy the way it is represented to play! ### 5/5 — Kinder haben richtig Spaß *2022-12-23* Tolle App, es gibt eine Nachspielfuktion, damit kann man die Weihnachtslieder lernen, die ist besonders schön für Kinder. Ich mag Weihnachtslieder nicht so gerne, deswegen habe ich andere gespielt, wie Mad World. Das ist auch ohne die Punkte von der Nachspielfunktion nicht so schwer. Wer musikalisch ist kann damit auch ziemlich leicht komponieren, es klingt halt nie schief, deswegen nervt es auch nicht, wenn sich Kinder darauf ausprobieren. Meine Empfehlung: auf dem Tablet benutzen, das geht einfacher, weil die Tasten natürlich viel größer sind. **Developer response:** Ganz lieben Dank für diesen ermutigenden Kommentar. 🥁 Genau, Audanika ist auch gut darin, eigene Melodien inkl. Akkordbegleitung zu entwickeln. Ich nutze die Weihnachtslieder auch, um Ideen für eigene Songs zu entwickeln. ### 5/5 — Guter erster Eindruck *2022-12-22* Gerade ausprobiert und „Alle Jahre wieder“ gespielt. Ging echt super einfach, bin mal gespannt was sonst noch so kommt. **Developer response:** Cool freut mich. Wir arbeiten an Mozart-Hits zum Nachspielen. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
