Why does it work this way? All my presets are stored on my iPad. Please fix this! ### 2/5 — Really? TRACKERS?? *2025-11-09, version 3.7.1* UPDATE: Recent update has resolved IAA zombie process issue and removed incessant "continue" button. ~12sec splash screen is immensely irritating and seems to require some kind of internet access to launch, though (trying to phone home?). Even so, an improvement from last few releases. OLD: My my... They've actually managed to make it worse... After years without any usability improvements and few bug fixes, this new patch introduces an incessant "continue" button on the boot splash instead of just launching the interface as before, as well as breaks IAA even further (now they launch as zombie processes, requiring manual intervention or even reboot). Worst of all, IT NOW CONTAINS TRACKERS. ### 4/5 — 很卡，请更新一下 *2025-10-09* 更新一下，不卡很受欢迎 ### 3/5 — Really??

I’m guessing this change is due to the app now collecting data. ### 1/5 — Kein Ton in Cubase *2025-04-14, version 3.7.1* Die App hat so einige Schwierigkeiten. Ich habe keinen Ton in Cubase als Ausgabe egal welches AudioUnit Plugin ich benutze TOLL Hoffe es kommt ein Upadte das es wieder funktioniert ### 1/5 — Bait and switch kind of cunning developer *2025-04-14* I bought the full version of this app and now I see that I need to subscribe and pay monthly or yearly. Someone needs to call you guys out! Not fair! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry for your issue. Please contact audiobus.help@gmail.com for support. ### 1/5 — Don’t even bother, it’s a subscription !! *2025-04-14, version 3.7.1* You can download but you can’t use it without subscribing and it’s not mentioned everywhere, so basically a trap lol. BOYCOTT the subscription evil developers!!! ### 1/5 — AUM & ApeMatrix *2025-03-28, version 3.7.1* If u picked this one blind, I’m sorry. ### 1/5 — Broken *2025-03-23* Its not working as a way to sync AUM and external gear as it used to. The last update broke the app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we are sorry for your issue. Please contact audiobus.help@gmail.com for support. ### 3/5 — Performance schlecht *2025-03-23, version 3.7.1* Aktuell ist die Performance und die Interaktion mit anderen Apps sehr schlecht! Hier ist wohl ein Update fällig! ### 2/5 — Formerly great *2025-03-16, version 3.7.1* Audiobus 3 was the glue of my music app setup for years. During my last flight I discovered that it had been broken. It appears to have been purchased by some other company that decided to implement an always-online component that can only be avoided with a subscription. It doesn’t matter if you paid full price in the past, it’s downgraded for everyone. Phones are usually online so who cares, right? Normally you might not notice, but if you are on a flight, in a cellular dead zone, or away from wifi, this app becomes useless. ### 1/5 — Покойся с миром *2025-02-27* Уже давно отжила своё, а для тех кто тут восхищается, попробуйте AUM, и что называется «почувствуйте разницу». А с новой ценовой политикой - аж смешно, вы серьезно!? И все ваши остальные проги, - столько альтернатив в Сторе, причем лучше и за копейки. Короче - аминь ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Abandoned app *2026-07-21, version 3.7.1* No updates in a whole year.

Geht nur leider durch boykott solch dämlicher Bezahlkonzepte. bye bye Audiobus. ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-08-27, version 3.7.1* Mandatory paid subscription to even demo😠 Shame on devs ### 1/5 — Era bom, agora virou um lixo *2025-06-15* Uma pena como conseguiram estragar um app tão útil.

I wish you start making some killer audio instruments too so that we find everything we need in Audiobus. Audiobus is the foundation of my live music. Thank you so much! Need one for Mac OS and why not for Window too. We need it for Mac OS. Can I use it for the new Mac? ### 5/5 — Audiobus Review *2025-03-19, version 3.7.1* Very good multi app audio mixer, enhances the sound and experience of other audio apps while playing back on iPhone…not sure how the recordings translate to DAW input but I think that is more Apple scrambling signals and unbalanced cable interference…working on deciphering the corded & or micD transfer accurately ### 5/5 — Hello world *2025-02-04* Yeah ### 5/5 — thank you *2025-02-04, version 3.7.1* with the latest update the problem was solved. thank you! -------- ### 5/5 — Нравиться *2025-01-19* Долго откладывал чтобы попробовать приложение. Оно оказалось очень крутым. Хотелось бы из коробки записывать миди. Приходится искать дополнительные приложения. А так пока кайфую. ### 5/5 — Intuitive af *2025-01-16, version 3.5.1* Loving it. Very hands on and easy to just dive in and throw all your apps at it. One oddity noted - it seems to think I have an app that I don’t (italizer), which always throws me! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
