It looks like I have the upgrade. I think? Nothing on the app says I'm using the upgraded version and the store still says upgrade for the listed price. Tried the restore purchases option but nothing ever happens. All I know is I paid for it cause my pay pal account shows the purchase history. Anyway lots of hassle for a mediocre app with over priced plugins ### 4/5 — Floored *2014-12-08* I am happy to say this app has exceeded my every expectation. Once you understand how it works and where all the little helpful tools and plug-ins are, there is nothing you can't do sonically (with some limitation I suppose; it is an iPad powering it after all). You could produce an entire album if you really wanted to and it would not be terrible. Extremely satisfied. ### 4/5 — Awesome! *2014-12-04* Unparalleled! Closest thing to protools on a Mac that I have found available for iPad. Quits when paired with Bose headphones via Bluetooth though, any way to fix this? ### 4/5 — Update *2014-05-27* At first I was extremely disappointed with Auria as when I tried recording with my CAD u37 with effects (like reverb, EQ etc...) the sound would stutter horribly and it wouldn't even record. After a bit of experimenting, I tried switching the Core Audio Mode to Legacy and everything is working perfectly! I can now record with both my CAD u37 and Alesis I/O Dock while monitoring effects with crystal clear sound. If they add the ability to monitor over bluetooth headphones, I will give it 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Dissapointed *2014-02-11* I'd give it less stars but I think it's a little bit my fault for not making sure the features I was looking for we're included, namely a midi sequencer. I just thought it was a standard at this point. Just research the app better than I did and maybe you'll walk away happier. ### 4/5 — Markers *2014-01-01* It would be great if in the next update we could get the ability to create more than 4 markers and the ability to name them. ### 3/5 — DISAPPOINTED !! *2013-08-31* Does not work with Audiobus. Can not control metronome volume. Sound is GREAT, but without a loud click is hard to play in time. PLEASE make it work with Audiobus. Thanx ### 2/5 — Ça ne fonctionne plus avec audiobus. *2013-07-27, version 1.11* Pour l'instant je dis pas mal car je l'ai depuis peu. Il y a plein de possibilités par contre après la dernière mise à jour il ne fonctionne plus avec audiobus ce qui est assez handicapant. Alors j'attend un peu plus de pratique ### 3/5 — Five stars for audio quality ! *2013-05-23* But 3 stars for glitches. Ok, i love the fact that you gave me a taste of a $50 app which people would think im crazy to buy but even at $25 bucks i expect no problems. Most of the app population dont buy one app for $25. I realize that maybe its audiobus causing the problems. ### 3/5 — Crashes *2013-03-07, version 1.06* Good daw but all the time crashes.Wanna get refund cause since i bought it i use it about one hour but nobody still answer on my email (((( ### 4/5 — Version 1.06 is Outstanding *2013-01-27* This app is fantastic. Tracking/editing/mixing all work superbly. The effects sound very good. Several major bugs were fixed in this version so folks that previously had reservations about stability can put them to rest. I will say that to utilize Audiobus or have larger projects going it would definitely be in your best interest to have an iPad 3 or later (Wavemachine Labs does mention this in the release notes). Just waiting for MIDI sequencing/editing and VST instruments that can run inside the app it will be a full five stars (might have to wait for the next iPad for that, but I hope not). In any case, the time of the iOS DAW has arrived people, embrace it! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stopped working iOS 16.2 *2023-02-07, version 2.330* Upgrade to full version through LE version so I’m screwed leaving review here. Used this app for years and it stopped working on IOS 16.2. It will open the default demo but won’t create a new project. Just loads new project menu and locks up completely. Rebooted Reinstalled Hard rebooted Nothing fixes it. Evey other app still works fine except my Auria full 50 dollar app. ### 1/5 — Major Bugs Ignored *2021-05-26* Crashes on every exit, hangs on every reload. The anxiety of an impending crash makes it intolerable. Such a waste. Incremental updates omit major issues. I’ve had this now for what seems like forever...it was never a solid performer, only a tease. The latest update got me to try yet again. Same story. Too many other apps passing this one up. If any other dev implements elastic audio and subs you have no need for this aggravation. (Cubasis, nudge, nudge. Zenbeats, wink, wink.) ### 1/5 — Midi bâclé... app immature. *2017-10-04, version 2.12* "Some bugs fixed..." - quand on voit comment fonctionne la partie Midi, c'est plus que quelques bugs qu'il faudrait régler, c'est l'ensemble qu'il faut revoir. Pour ma part, je conserve l'app pour les plugins Fabfilter... et je précise que j'ai la version 'pro'. ### 1/5 — Audiobus and interapp audio not working *2016-09-18* I have this app and I have purchased upgrade to pro. Audiobus not working. It will not accept tracks in the input matrix coming from audiobus. This was working just a couple weeks ago. Please fix. Inter-app audio also not available. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2015-12-07* How do i get a refund? Both auria and auria "pro" are useless to me can't finish any of my projects because they keep crashing ### 1/5 — STEER CLEAR *2015-12-05, version 2.0* The app will not update, it flags saying this item is no longer available. I spoke to apple, who claim it is the Developers responsibility and... Yep.. The developer has washed his hands of the issue saying it is Apples responsibility. To further compound the issue. I upgraded to the full version as an in app purchase, another mistake. I never had one update from Apple store, as the developers and Apple don't communicate over in app purchases so all the updates I got were for the the LE version and not the more expensive full Version of Auria ### 1/5 — App worked in previous version *2013-07-13, version 1.10* This recent update crashed on my ipad 2...ive deleted, turned off, reinstalled...no luck, tries to load at the beginning but asks something about a bug report but crashes in half a second before i can reply. No good...if im paying $25 for an app i hope thats its tested thoroughly. I cant do anything, some advice please! Ios 5.1.1 ipad2 legit OS 16Gb ### 1/5 — I guess *2013-05-22* Really great idea for the iPad, the only problem is that the input has a really bad digital clip and sound. Even if I run an amp into my ipad, it still sounds like my guitar is being processed through some sort of synthesizer. Great for importing tracks that have already been recorded, but forget about recording into it. Maybe it's my interface, but for now 2 stars. When the digital problem disappears, 5 starts. Other multi track recorders work great when running an iRig interface. Maybe the developer has some sort of trick. Please let me know. ### 1/5 — Une belle me% e ! *2013-01-24, version 1.06* J' étais impatient d' utiliser cette application, mais alors quelle déception ! Non HD, audiocopy ne fonctionne pas et fait buguer les autres apps, bref déçu, j' attendai la mise a jour 1.06 qui était censée fonctionner avec Audiobus, et bien la seule chose qu' elle fait avec audiobus c' est de se réinstaller des qu' on lance cette appli foireuse, quand aux développeurs, leurs seules réponses sur le forum est qu' auria est trop puissante pour l' ipad…(j' ai le 3), heureusement que je n' ai acheté que la version lite, qui est déjà trop chère à 25€ pour ce qu' elle prétend faire…la liste des buts est bien trop longue à énoncée…bref une appli à zapper ### 1/5 — Dont waste your money *2013-01-13, version 1.05* This promised so much potential but I have only managed to use it 3 times before it crashed and now it wont open at all. Really disappointed and quite frankly I want my money refunded. Do not waste your money or time on this unstable platform you will regret it. Very poor indeed. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Convenient Optimized Alternative to Desktop Production *2019-05-04* I’ve followed the internal upgrade path and use the latest version of Auria Pro with all FabFilter synths and effects. I own basically every major music app and DAW but each time I try to use an alternative to AP, I immediately miss the CPU-optimized efficiency of both the FabFilter plugins when hosted through AP, and the deep multisampled EX24/SFZ acoustic instruments in Lyra. With the recent update allowing fast, convenient, intuitive chaining of midi au (including the Atom piano roll) there is nothing that bears fair comparison to the musical experience and control AP offers on iPad. ### 5/5 — Vrai mini studio *2019-04-25, version 2.22* Fonctionnant parfaitement bien et très simple d'utilisation, ce séquencer audio et midi se présente comme un véritable studio avec table de mixage et des effets de grande qualité. Avec une bonne interface audio, comme par exemple celles de la marque RME, on obtient un résultat tout à fait exploitable professionnellement. Et tout ça avec la souplesse d'utilisation de l'iPad et un prix plus que modique comparé aux prix des logiciels pour ordinateur. ### 5/5 — Visionary DAW!! *2016-03-30, version 2.03* If you are serious about making pro quality tracks on your iPad Auria Pro is a no brainer. I bought the LE version and upgraded to Pro hence my review here, but it applies to the pro version. I can't believe it comes with so many desktop DAW features- and with built in fab filter synths, and a sampler that can play sample instruments from Logic's EXS24 sampler (use iTunes or iFunbox to import). The best thing about this is the dev is very responsive and frequently releases updates to improve features and fix bugs. ### 5/5 — Amazing *2016-03-26* I'm amazed at what can be done on an iPad. Kudos to the dev on the most ambitious app I've used (and I've used a lot!). I can't review Auria Pro, since I received a promo code for it, but I do have it, and I'm blown away with how well midi was implemented and how well it works on a mini 2 and iPad4. The plug-ins are top shelf, as is the dev who must not need sleep, given the time and effort he's put into this. ### 5/5 — Best iPad DAW. Period. *2015-12-06* 5 Stars. This is the best iPad DAW you can get if you are seriously interested in home recording on your device. Especially if you are used to recording on a standard digital DAW, like Pro Tools, Logic, Live, etc, then you will feel right at home with this. The IAA support is hit or miss, but mainly due to what third party app you are using with this. I have been looking for a professional mobile recording solution, and Auria provides for all of my needs. While the LE version provides everything I need, I'm excited to update to Auria Pro to take advantage of the powerful warping and slicing tools. ### 5/5 — Upgraded to pro the same day *2015-06-14, version 1.155* This is the best DAW on the iPad. Easy to use and seemingly compatible with everything. Do not buy this version. Get the full version. ### 5/5 — So here is the scoop *2013-07-05* First off I upgraded from LE to full version and have many many addons, plugins... I play guitar. I love playing. Do I need a DAW? Probably nothing great. Garageband might do. I like to get stuff.. When I say that I mean here is my Ipad line up.. Understand most of these apps have all the addons etc.... First and foremost 1. Audiobus (Incredable) Guitar Amp simulation 1. Jamup pro (Awsome, Great tone best in cost) 2. AmpKit (Awsome, Best for interface and great tone) 3. Stompbox (Its ok, neat tool) 4. Guitartone (Don't bother) 5. Overdrive THM for Auria (Awsome, Perhaps best tone) Filter type apps 1. Level 24 (Don't bother) 2. Turnado (Nice just not for me) Synth and Midi type apps 1. Midiguitar (Increable) 2. Nave (Incredable) 3. Alchemy (Incredable) 4. Sunrizer (Awsome) 5. Launchkey (Its nice, fun tool) 6.Launchpad (Nice also) 7. Soundprism (Its ok, just not for me) Drum apps 1. DM1 (Awsome) 2. Drumbeats + (Its ok) DAWS 1. Auria (This and Cubasis are my tops, this lacks Midi) 2. Cubasis (Same as above, good effects but Auria has it beat) 3. Meteor (Its ok, but I will use cubasis and Auria) 4. Garageband (Nice, just lacks what I need) 5. Multitrack DAW (Junk) My must have apps for my guitar playing and recording are Auria (With addons.. costly), Cubasis, Ampkit+ (Loaded), Jamup pro (Loaded), Overload, MidiGuitar, Alchemy (With addons) , Nave, DM1, Audiabus (A must). These apps, my old, USA fender, a DR. Z amp, Focusrite Itrack, and its good times. Midiguitar was a blast. Now as far as Auria. If Auria had Midi I would probably use it alone (I do like the feel and look of Cubasis better, its just less in options.. not much though) So far I found Auria easy to learn, clean sounding, easy editing and full of features if you are willing to spend the cash. Plan on spending about 200 or so for Auria (I say its worth it though). It on an Ipad is a very mobile studio and the other apps let me take my effects and guitar playing anywhere and record my work, and more. If your gonna wine about cost get Cubasis... Now as far as my tone... Face it, my pedal board and amps are extremely hard to beat in tone and I wont tell you these apps are close... they are good but not as good as several thousands in tube amps and pedals (Most, hand built), but I don't wanna lug tons of stuff around always. Hope this helps, I get wordy. Great job on a wonderful DAW, it and Cubasis are equal for different reasons. Meteor is nice, I just don't use it anymore, it is also very capable. Multitrack DAW is junk in my opinion. Garageband is awsome for the price... If your cheap get it for 5 bucks (I just don't use it, it lacks what I need) this, comes from a noob in DAW multitrack recording, but I learn fast and read a lot. ### 5/5 — Une belle réussite *2013-05-15, version 1.09* J'enregistre en studio professionnel, avec des micros à 3000€, et bien je viens d'essayer Auria sur mon ipad 2 (avec la Duet 2 ipad d'Apogee). Le son est parfait, la maniabilité vient progressivement (on n'est pas avec une souris). Le développer est très actif en mises à jour et très à l'écoute des utilisateurs (voir son forum). Bon, les plug-ins sont un peu cher, mais le but, c'est d'enregistrer avec une solution très légère et ultra silencieuse pour ensuite retravailler ça sur un portable ou une tour. Je suis très content de cet achat. Seul bémol, j'ai d'abord acheté la version LE puis j'ai upgradé en full version par un achat intégré, et je n'ai pas pu mettre d'avis sur la full version, comme si je ne possédais que la LE. (La full version est nécessaire pour pouvoir exporter vos projets au format AAF ou enregistrer en 48khz et plus) ### 5/5 — hope its good *2013-05-06* got a friend thats got the 50 dollar one and he suggested that i got it for guitar ### 5/5 — Spoilt iPad User *2013-04-05, version 1.07* Hi, Thank you Auria I am so spoilt. With Audiobus integration only a whisker away these are good times indeed.....*update 4/4/13* Now with Improved Audiobus integration, time stretching, the best effects on IOS...it just keeps getting better and better..... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
