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. ### 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 ### 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。 ### 4/5 — Basic but functional *2024-04-30, version 1.2.3* This is a very basic app that could do with a lot more functionality, but what it does, it does well. ### 1/5 — Incompatible avec un IPad *2024-02-10, version 1.2.3* Korg, il faut se réveiller, mettre à jour et améliorer vos applis ! ### 1/5 — Not working on ipad air first generation *2023-09-13, version 1.2.3* Not working ### 3/5 — It works but not great. *2023-07-07, version 1.2.3* It’s hard to believe a company as amazing as Korg just doesn’t care about the software side of the business They spend no effort to make good functional software. They have incredible hardware but simply haven’t kept up with the times with software. They really should invest a dedicated team just For Korg software. The retro collection of vst sound good but bad interfaces. Their apps sound great but horrible user experience and interfaces. It’s amazing how such a good company can fall so short. Truth is they can’t, they just don’t care about their software! It is obvious that they don’t read or at least care what users wrote in the comments. Nothing changes. The app developers don’t really Change anything. Such a shame. The volcas are great. All korg hardware is great but they need to catch up with rest of the world. Look at Moog apps. Look at Roland. Korg is so far at bottom of the list. Shame ### 1/5 — Not work with sample 2 *2023-06-22, version 1.2.3* Not work with sample 2 ### 2/5 — Does not work with my iPad Pro *2023-04-20, version 1.2.3* This seems like a good app but the audio transfer function does not work on iPad Pro (doesn’t have an headphone jack so needs to work with an adapter). It seems like a big omission. Also why no support for usb file transfer on the sample 2? I wasted a lot of time recording samples only to find that there is no way for me to transfer them or even export them apart from via iTunes which I don’t use. ### 1/5 — Needs an update *2023-04-08, version 1.2.3* Korg has apparently abandoned iOS development. How about an iOS version of the volca sample software? ### 1/5 — Update the app for the sample 2 *2023-04-04, version 1.2.0* Only has 100 spaces, has not been updated for the 200 spaces the sample 2 has. Why release a second version if you’re going to abandon any updates. ### 1/5 — Chale *2023-03-14, version 1.2.0* Esto no jala, a ver qué rollo ;( actualícenla porfaaaa que no jala esto de meterle Samples al volcá :{ ### 3/5 — Limited support for Sample 2 *2023-03-09, version 1.2.0* When will you add support for the extended memory bank of Volca Sample 2? ### 3/5 — Needs Sample2 update *2023-03-06, version 1.2.0* Needs Sample2 update. 200 slots and sample2 presets saved. ### 1/5 — obsolete *2023-02-26, version 1.2.0* No updates, garbage. Buy a REAL sampler. ### 1/5 — 不支持volca sample2 *2023-02-19* 第二代千万不要下载！不要下载！不要下载！血的教训，采样都弄没了 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Lightning Chinge *2025-08-01, version 1.2.3* Lightning to chinge doesnt Work. Waste of time ### 1/5 — Nul *2025-04-23, version 1.2.3* Incompatible avec iPad mini 2 ### 1/5 — Still no usb support *2024-08-11, version 1.2.3* Ridiculous to add usb to the volca sample 2 but not be bothered but include any way to use that usb with the app. ### 1/5 — I couldn’t get this to work *2024-03-23, version 1.2.3* This app never worked and I ended up returning the Volca Sample. Whomp whomp. ### 1/5 — No suppprt for new iPhones *2024-03-15, version 1.2.3* So new iPhones. (Well not even that new. Going back a few years) don’t have headphone socket. This new volca comes out with USB and we still have to use headphone socket. Wake up korg. What’s up with your developers? We should be connecting and editing via usb. Volca sample 2 has usb. iPhone has usb. Yet we can only use this with headphone socket that iPhones don’t have. This is rubbish. ### 1/5 — Lightning、、、 *2024-02-12, version 1.2.3* イヤホン端子の無いスマホじゃ使えません。 Lightning変換も試しましたがダメでした、、 それどころかMacと接続しても反応が悪いので全然サンプリング出来ずです。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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 ### 5/5 — Patiently Waiting For Korg Sale *2025-09-03, version 1.2.3* Didn’t realize couple more things I wanna buy when korg app sale going again????? I can finish this collection lol ### 5/5 — Works for me *2024-06-04, version 1.2.3* I haven’t had any problems or complaints with it so far. I think it’s neat that I can create samples from my phone and load them onto my Volca Sample so easily ### 5/5 — Funciona perfecto en el Sample 2 *2023-09-11, version 1.2.3* Con un poco de calma para leer las instrucciones y seguirlas paso a paso, la app funciona perfecto para el Sample 2, la uso con un iPhone viejito (6s), se pueden grabar directo los audios desde el teléfono y transferirlos al Volca. ### 5/5 — Korg hit a home run *2021-01-26, version 1.2.0* This is a game changer in my audio game, period. I had an iPhone 7 with no headphone jack but now that I have an iPad i downloaded this app and my volca sample is back in a big way. If only I’d thought of this earlier,I’d be happier but this is the best thing about my iPad by far. You have to turn up the volume on the device you use to about 3/4 of all the way up to get the volca to respond, and you have to click each sample in the app on the iOS device you use to send the sample to the volca, but other than that the app is straightforward. Korg is the greatest of all time for this. ### 5/5 — One thing *2020-09-29, version 1.2.0* I like the app. The file sharing is super easy and everything else is good except is there any way you could make it where when i save on my phone, it automatically saves on my iPad? That’s all. LOVE MY SAMPLE! Update: It does do that. I’m just slow. Haha. Ty again! Update: ok so you can trim your own recording but can’t trim one you import. That would be super helpful so I don’t have to go trim it in another app first. It doesn’t have to be all crazy with deep editing features. Just a way to simply trim it. ### 5/5 — 连接换采样 *2020-03-06* 出现旋钮闪动 err提示 ### 5/5 — Great app ! *2020-03-01, version 1.2.0* Kept getting error messages until I used my iPad irig 2 conecter with another cable from the guitar sign output on the irig to the sync in of the volca sample. Great fun. ### 5/5 — Perfect companion to the volca sample *2019-12-22, version 1.2.0* Now that the app has access to Files my phone is the perfect companion to the volca sample. I am no longer limited to recording inside the app or using my computer to transfer sounds to the app. I have had no problems with it. This, along with sound-editing apps on my phone, gives me everything I need to acquire, edit, and sequence samples in a portable hardware format. ### 5/5 — Hardware/App *2019-02-12, version 1.1.1* I love both the machine, and the app. Works just fine on the IPhone X. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
