### 5/5 — Welcome back!

*2026-08-16*

Thank you Rim for updating this magnificent effort called Auria. 

I would be glad to pay for IAPs that expand Auria in the future!

Maybe adopting Mela’s collections price strategy or Loopy Pro’s update policy to make all your extensive work on this project become financially viable for you?

There’s a community of folks that really appreciate a great sounding, regularly updated song creation program as deep as this.

VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!

### 1/5 — Don’t invest in Auria

*2026-06-19*

DAW stopped working couple weeks ago, audio stutters and crackles.  InApp purchases not restoring.  No response from creator

### 3/5 — Auria Pro UI Scaling Bug on New 13” iPad Pro Models

*2026-05-13*

I absolutely love Auria Pro for mobile mixing. I use this program within a real professional post-production workflow, and when it works properly, it’s an excellent tool.

However, there is a major UI/layout glitch when switching between the mixer and timeline views on the newer 13” iPad Pro models. At times, only the bottom half of the interface appears, or portions of the mixer faders remain overlaid on the timeline page. This creates serious issues when trying to select tracks, edit clips, or perform other timeline tasks.

What’s interesting is that I did not experience this issue on the older 12.9” iPad Pro models, which makes me believe the bug may be related to scaling, resolution, or UI compatibility with the newer 13” displays.

Unfortunately, this issue has affected paid client projects and has forced me to temporarily use alternative software despite preferring the Auria Pro ecosystem.

I genuinely want to continue using Auria Pro as part of my professional workflow, but this issue needs to be addressed in a future update. A stability and UI bug-fix update focused on mixer/timeline transitions for the newer 13” iPad Pro models would make a huge difference for professional users relying on the app in production environments.

### 5/5 — A Daws mais completa pra IOS o que falta é só a Equipe corrigir os erros

*2026-05-04, version 2.36*

Pesso aos desenvolvedores dessa Daws incrível que corrigiam os erros porque muitos usuários do Auria assim como eu não queremos ir pra concorrência eu até tentei mas não mim adaptei uso o Auria deste 2012 e sei do potencial dessa Daws

### 1/5 — At first I was naive.

*2026-04-22, version 2.36*

Lately, after my mind was in a peaceful place, I thought that, there are some things that are not supposed to exist but the universe itself keeps it in existence. So, Auria Pro is like that entity which is currently infesting the globe and literally abusing the womb gave birth to it, claiming that it is the most highly evolved intelligent species ever existed in the universe, self proclaimed. Surprisingly, somehow it validates their shallow and egocentric existence. So, it doesn’t matter, nothing is really something compared to eternity. So, regards. Aria Pro. Live long and prosper.

### 1/5 — It hasn’t been updated in 2yrs.

*2026-04-11, version 2.36*

It hasn’t been updated in two years yet you are still collecting money from people who have no idea it is not functional. You should update it or remove it from the App Store .

### 1/5 — Is this abandonware?

*2026-02-16, version 2.36*

I just clicked on "User Guide" in the Auria Pro menu and got "page not found". That's a pretty serious error.

### 1/5 — Darstellungsprobleme

*2026-01-09, version 2.36*

Ich nutze ein ipad pro m4 13 zoll, leider funktioniert die darstellung der fenster nicht richtig. Bitte dringend beheben sonst bin ich gezwungen die app zu refunden. Im anschluss bewerte ich die app sehr gerne wieder neu.

### 3/5 — This use to be  1 mobile DAW but..

*2025-12-01*

CUBASIS took the #1 spot.   I really did love this beautiful app at one point and was a big advocate, although it seems like it hardly ever gets an update. I have weird issues with projects (especially old transferred projects) making popping and clicking sounds also some that either can’t be fixed or just don’t open at all.. I find a few midi problems a little annoying and im afraid to start new projects anymore. I’m considering deleting it but a handful of projects still open and work fine. Hoping that maybe they do a nice update that they don’t charge you for.. that’d be phenomenal as I really do love this app.

### 1/5 — abandonware

*2025-11-22, version 2.36*

stay away, do not encourage developer inaction by collecting free money from you. the app is not in a useable state

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.41 — 2026-08-27

• Audio Units with more than one output can now feed separate tracks. A plug-in's extra outputs — ReStem's individual drum stems, for example — appear in a track's input menu under "Plug-in Outputs", and choosing one sets up the routing for you.

• Fixed MIDI tracks slowly drifting out of time over the course of a long playback.

• Realtime quantize now places notes correctly when a plug-in that reports latency is loaded.

• Fixed crashes on iPadOS 26, including when using Undo and when Auria analysed a region's transients.

• Restore Purchases no longer reports success while restoring nothing.

• Auria no longer stops saving permanently if its project folder has been moved or deleted.

• Fixed a burst of noise in the master output on play and stop when a plug-in reports a large latency.

• Delay compensation fixes: tracks fed from a bus or from a plug-in output now line up with the rest of the mix, bypassing an Audio Unit updates compensation straight away, and the playhead follows what you hear.

• Recordings made through a subgroup are now placed at the correct position.

• Scrubbing follows your finger accurately again, and no longer goes silent when a plug-in with latency is loaded.

• Fixed a crash in Drumagog when its kit files are missing.

• Various stability fixes, including a rare crash when plug-in latency changes during playback.

### 2.40 — 2026-08-19

• Fixed audio stuttering issue on iPadOS 26.

• Fixed the app being closed by the system while loading an Audio Unit plug-in.

• Fixed multi-second freezes when files are added to or changed in Auria's Documents folder.

• Fixed Linear knob mode not taking effect on the channel strip, master strip and the built-in plug-ins.

• Unfreezing a mono track now gives it its mono channel back instead of leaving it in stereo.

• More reliable audio when changing the buffer size or switching audio devices, and more dependable Audio Unit and Inter-App Audio plug-in scanning.

• Various stability and memory fixes, including a crash on iOS 12.

### 2.39 — 2026-08-14

• Fixed timing drift with plug-ins that update their latency after loading, including ReStem 2 — delay compensation now follows the change instead of missing it.

• Fixed a crash when replacing a plug-in on a track.

• Fixed a crash when disconnecting an Inter-App Audio app.

• Fixed stability issues on earlier iPads.

### 2.38 — 2026-08-12

• Inter-App Audio no longer loads automatically. Auria now lists the IAA plug-ins a project uses and loads them only when you choose to — this prevents the hangs IAA has been causing.
• Fixed the app freezing during Restore Purchases and when installing purchased content.
• Faster AudioUnit loading, especially plug-ins with many presets.
• Fixed stray taps being registered while the app was busy.
• Fixed a possible freeze when splitting regions.
• Improved crash reporting.

### 2.37 — 2026-08-11

Fixed various stability issues and added support for newer iPads.
