### 3/5 — dcod err

*2026-05-24, version 1.2.3*

It worked for years, but now for me it almost always stops the transfer at 100% with dcod err, no matter how neutral eq/loudness settings are.
And still, it was no good decision to remove headphone support. I understand you dont want the encoding signal to hit the ears, but i can‘t record and edit in public.
why don‘t you just add a warning message before transfer and make headphones supported again. this was such a bad decision, really. please bring it back.

### 1/5 — Update the damn app!!!

*2026-05-02, version 1.2.3*

Literally just crashes on startup....using iOS 11.
Says it needs at least iOS 11 lol.... update your app Jesus.

### 1/5 — app does not work to record audio or with prerecorded audio

*2026-04-26, version 1.2.3*

i made the mistake of buying the sample version one and the sample version 2. i thought the second might have been fixed but no! both are virtually useless because they are both stuck with the terrible factory sound samples. there is currently no app any where old or new that will actually allow the samples to work as advertised. kong just took our money and ran. the audio pocket app won't record audio, or at least it won't save it after pressing the record button. and it also won't let work saved audio samples even though it will import them temporarily then lose them. there is no customer service tech support to even call to report this issue.

very very disappointing from a potentially fantastic machine.

### 5/5 — Best

*2026-04-09, version 1.2.3*

I use this app at least once a day and love it. Could not ask for more i dont think. Thank you

### 4/5 — It is what it is

*2026-01-20, version 1.2.3*

I cant remove imported samples to audio pocket. 
I dont undersrand why such a simple thing was not implemented

### 1/5 — A joke

*2025-11-14, version 1.2.3*

The less developped app, I Never seen here. No way to load sounds from library, only realtime records… so, good Luck…
Therefore, Caustic Editor is not available…
I will try to ask for a refund of This Korg Volca Sample, as it’s not playable, and so a shame, but they don’t seem to be much worried guys… :(

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work.

*2025-09-18, version 1.2.3*

Error when uploading samples to Volca Sample 2, I tried everything you could possibly think of, shorter cable, changing volume levels, oh and  audio pocket does not record audio. 

pointless

### 5/5 — Patiently Waiting For Korg Sale

*2025-09-03, version 1.2.3*

### 1/5 — Lightning Chinge

*2025-08-01, version 1.2.3*

Lightning to chinge doesnt Work. Waste of time

### 2/5 — 是非ライトニング端子対応を…

*2025-05-11, version 1.2.3*

VOLCA SAMPLE 2を買いましたが、イヤホン端子の無いiPhoneではサンプルの送信が出来ない様です。iPhone14で数種類の変換端子試しましたがダメでした。KORGさんが悪いと言うよりはイヤホン端子無くしたAppleの愚行のせいなのですが…。現行のiPhoneで使えないのは致命的かと。
