It would be helpful to have more control over the chords though - especially the ability to have minor chords. ### 3/5 — Almost perfect *2026-06-28, version 1.10.2* It just needs a quicker way to adjust the volume and tempo of the metronome and the ability to pan the metronome and pads to opposite channels, that way we can use metronome in the in-ears only and pads to FOH.. please add this simple update and it will a 5 star app! ### 3/5 — O app não atualiza nunca *2025-11-08* O aplicativo é ótimo, mas ele também precisa de atualização, precisa de novos pads de ambiências, correção de bugs e melhorias nos pads disponíveis. ### 3/5 — No manda audio por Airplay *2025-04-27, version 1.10.2* Con la actualización debo de mandar el audio por AirPlay, lo usaba mucho por eso pero ahora no en podido hacerlo funcionar ### 2/5 — Falta função *2025-03-23* O app é bom não possui a capacidade de oitavar o pad e isso faz com que as vezes o pad fique com oitavas abaixo e fique muito grave . ### 3/5 — MIDI *2025-03-20, version 1.10.2* I’m not sure about the midi I can’t find a way to connect with my piano I’ve tried Bluetooth and wired and still don’t seem to get a response I will be glad to get a feedback if I am doing anything wrong. ### 4/5 — Super recomendo *2025-03-15* Me ajuda bastante nos ensaios, porém sinto falta dos acordes diminutos ou a possibilidade de criá-los ### 4/5 — Great app and easy to use *2025-03-08* A simple drone player but there should be a slider to adjust volume in real time. ### 4/5 — Bom mas não está funcionando Bluetooth *2025-01-14* Funciona bem com adaptador para cabo de áudio mas algum erro não funciona via Bluetooth. Trava no IPhone IPhone 15 Pro Max com IOS 18.3 ### 5/5 — Set List Idea *2025-01-12* This app is exactly what our church needs and may God bless its creators! I have two ideas for the set list interface: 1 It saves set lists, so it would be great if you could move songs throughout the different lists saved or add a song already included in a list to one that you’re currently creating. 2 Some context: I’m the drummer and am controlling this app. When we complete the first song, we have announcements and such before we continue with the other songs. It would be nice to switch to the next song without hearing the click while also listening to the announcements or speakers. There are also times where we may want to the click before the pad is introduced. I think two buttons across the bottom of each song - one for “click only” and one for “pad only” would give us the freedom to pick; we can have the click introduced first before the pads, have the pads without the click when needed, and then just touch the applicable song name to have the both play. Just some things that might be useful to others as well. Otherwise, this app is a great find for us! ### 5/5 — Like it! *2024-12-31, version 1.10.2* Good for minimalistic worship setup. Easy to use, worth the money! ### 5/5 — Big potential *2024-11-19* I am so happy to have this app. Please continue making this app better ! ### 5/5 — Menores *2024-11-11, version 1.10.2* Muy buena app con sonidos excelentes me gustaría que tuviera sus tonos menores también para diferenciar entre mayores y menores A la larga ellas se siente muy tenso cuando está en 1 y 5 grado y no cambia Ojalá tengamos esa opción ### 3/5 — Was perfect - just broke *2024-09-06, version 1.10.2* This was a multiple times a week use for me, literally the perfect app, exactly what I was looking for. Until it just stopped working. Click still works, but i get absolutley no pads anymore. Hoping there's a fix for this. ### 5/5 — Great pad for worship & Much more *2024-05-30* Just get it if you’re on the fence. Maybe you’re like me and won’t use it every day…but when I need it on the fly, I am sooo glad I have it. One-click, and I have a pad running…It’s the best simple, reliable, and good-sounding stock Pad sound app that I’ve had. And it keeps getting updates. Fantastic. I’m a huge fan of the click options and am likely to use the MIDI options in the near future! It even has an option to change the tuning frequencies; I like playing around with 432 hz personally. Easily 5-Stars! Props to the developer 🙌 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Funktioniert unter iOS26 nicht mehr *2026-01-22* Please fix it soon. Thx ### 1/5 — Volume baixo *2025-03-29* O volume é baixo. Ligo numa mesa de som e nem com todos os volumes e ganhos no máximo, não consigo o volume desejado. E ainda, tentei pedir reembolso e não consegue. Dinheiro jogado fora. ### 1/5 — Não tem os Tons menores *2025-03-23* Sem atualização, o aplicativo é até bom, mas pagar 30 reais e não ter completo não vale a pena ### 1/5 — 2 anos tem atualização *2025-01-19* 2 anos sem atualizar 🤦🏻‍♂️ ### 1/5 — Atualização URGENTE! *2024-06-14* Coloquei uma estrela para chamar a atenção dos produtores. Este aplicativo é até bom mas precisa de atualização (Está 1 ano sem atualização). Vi aqui uma avaliação pedindo basicamente o que também senti falta nesse App. 1- Metrônomo Independente, quando tocar o PAD com metrônomo, precisamos de uma opção para pausar o Metrônomo, sem pausar o PAD. (Na listagem de música e Ao Vivo) 2- “Ableton Link” do “Auto Pad” não está completo, só segue outros Apps, mas não comanda. Ele precisa comandar o andamento, e os outros Apps precisam seguir o “Auto Pad” sempre que selecionarmos o BPM na lista. ### 1/5 — No funciona *2022-02-12, version 1.9* Lo acabo de descargar y pagar y me aparece un error al intentar abrirlo. Lo reinicio y no logro abrirlo. ### 1/5 — This app is buggy and a resource hog. *2022-01-27, version 1.9* I have an m1 max 64 GB mac pro and it can't handle running one ideration of this in logic. From what I've heard from worship buddies this is a great app on Ipad but right now on mac this is less then half baked. It's maybe 20% there. The pads often don't switch when you try to change them and the "drag left to delete" is broken. If you're going to release this on madc for 6 dollars, I would think you would at least make sure all of the advertised features work. I hope you guys get this running right and optimized for apple silicone. This would be a really useful tool to me. For now avoid. I will update if they fix these issues. ### 1/5 — Great concept horrible execution *2021-06-11, version 1.8.6* I downloaded this app because I saw a friend of mine use it with his worship team. I downloaded it and even bought the extra sounds. But when I connected through Bluetooth to our system it will play for five seconds and then drop out completely. I have to close the app and restart it and it is the same thing over and over again. I just wish this Apple work and I can give it a five star review ### 1/5 — Just purchased - not working *2021-01-16, version 1.8.6* Volume is unstable and disappears. Note pads are not working. Worked for a minute and then stopped. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Keep scrolling, don’t waste your time *2020-04-11, version 1.7.2* Is it really impossible to do minor chords or custom chords ? This is one of the most elementary features of an app like this. Might as well remove the key of C major, or remove all the audio from the app because it’s every bit as useless. I wish I could rate this 0 stars. Don’t waste your time or money ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — its amazing *2026-08-08, version 1.10.2* Can you add the relative minors for each of the keys ### 5/5 — Love this App *2026-01-21* Was looking for something to play pads in multple keys thinking I would have to load in my own pad samples, however the sounds included in the app are perfect for my needs and still I have the option to import some of my other pad samples. Great interface, feature rich and so well thought through. ### 5/5 — Great app but… *2025-11-15* It would be amazing if I could assign my NanoKontrol 2 MIDI CC# buttons to trigger the different pad keys! Otherwise I’m very happy with AutoPad. ### 5/5 — ADD IT TO APPLE TV plz *2025-10-30, version 1.10.2* I love this app, I use it every time I play at any given church - ranging from 90 to 300 ppl ### 5/5 — I use it weekly *2025-10-08, version 1.10.2* I use it as pads under an acoustic guitar for youth worship. We use MultiTracks in our main service, but their default pad is boring and additional pads are expensive, so I wanted something else for youth. I bought this and the sound packs and brought in some others as well (AeroSpace Audio), all for a reasonable amount. Setting it up for midi with an MPD218 was a game changer and made it even easier to use. I do have a few improvement suggestions (mostly regarding midi) if the developer is ever interested. ### 5/5 — Excellent Practice Tool *2025-09-15* While the developer pitches this app as a way to add background pads to live performances, it’s also a great tool for practicing soloing. Much faster to pick a key with this app, than setup a looper or freeze pedal. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2025-03-26* Mas parou de funcionar no meu aparelho minha versão IPhone 15.08 ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2025-02-24, version 1.10.2* I have been using this app for a long time now and really appreciate the developer creating this! It is even more useful to me now that I can use it on my iPad Pro! Keep up the great work and look forward to seeing some new features! ### 5/5 — Love this app, but one request *2025-02-16* Works great, I only wish it had a way to choose a different audio output rather than using the system output. would allow me to run it on its own channels on dante. ### 5/5 — This is the one *2025-02-06* I switched over to this from Multitracks. This app does all the right things. Nice big buttons if you just want a simple layout for ambient pads, or build an actual set list with the ability to specify the metronome tempo, the key, and the specific type of pad for each song. You can import custom pads, which I did because I had some that I had purchased from Multitracks, but I don’t use them because the supplied AP pads are actually better. A small and overlooked feature that I appreciate is that when going from one song to the next, this app lines the click tracks up with one another (unlike Multitracks), which is helpful if you do a key or time change in the middle of a song and you need to keep the metronome going. One missing feature I would love is the ability to save individual songs instead of just the set lists, that way I can just build each song in once and then build my set list quickly each week by selecting songs from my song library. **Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! So glad you like AutoPad and its sounds. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
