### 1/5 — Standort Abfrage

*2025-08-25, version 1.2.6*

Absolutes No-Go! Im AppStore steht keine Daten Abfrage doch beim öffnen wird zweimal der Standort abgefragt. Ich habe habe die App gerne genutzt…

### 5/5 — This developer's apps are an Absolute Necessity!!!

*2024-03-16*

Thank you for making these types of music apps tools and utilities which end up proving what is possible-when a genius developer and undoubtedly an excellent musician are one and the same...Keep pushing the envelope my friend. Your work is GOLD!!!!!

**Developer response:** Thank you! ❤️

### 5/5 — Cool

*2023-01-20*

Does what it was intended for…..Brings apps all together in a useful way….two thumbs up

### 1/5 — Don’t work at all

*2022-08-01, version 1.2.6*

Beware, if you buy this app, it doesn’t work at all because it needs audiobus app and audiobus app is not available on the store. So, Audiobus remote has no utility. I asked Apple for my money back.

### 5/5 — State of the art

*2020-04-26*

Have been using AB for guitar and vocals for a year now. It just works beautifully with perfect control. Still trying to get used to Loopy and the AB Remote. Will probably get in touch with Michael again who handles support wonderfully.

### 5/5 — Glitchy

*2020-04-05*

Amazing and handy little remote control. It’s not just a pause and play control but takes advantage of little features within each app. This is great for doing live sets.

Had a little hiccup on when I first installed the app where the Bluetooth connection wasn’t working. Do a fresh install if this happens. It fixes the problem.

**Developer response:** Sorry to hear you've been having trouble. This isn't a support forum though - please contact me directly so I can actually help you. Either tap "Get Support" in the app, or just email me: michael@audiob.us.

### 1/5 — Больше не работает

*2020-01-24*

А ведь отлично всё было.
iPad Pro 1st gen (iOS 13.3) и iPad Air 1st gen (iOS 12.3)

**Developer response:** I'm sorry you're disappointed, but you need to contact me directly if you want to solve this, rather than just complaining about it. Tap "Get Support" in the app, or just email support@audiob.us.

### 4/5 — Indispensable but could be improved

*2019-06-23*

I just wish I could pick which apps to control; then I would rate it 5/5.  It would also be great if I could customize the controls; maybe even add some midi features.  I love being able to activate patterns on drum machines, but what if we could activate program changes to our synths?  Still, this app has been a game changer for me as far as live performance.

### 5/5 — Awesomeness

*2019-05-06*

A “must have”, companion to ab3.

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 1/5 — Audiosbuss ist für mich überflüssig geworden

*2019-01-12, version 1.2.3*

Ich hab mich immer gefragt warum die Entwickler kein update auf 3:0 anbieten ?ging wohl  mehr ums Geld aber egalDank Apple ist es auch garnicht nötig ,ich brauch kein Autobus mehr
