### 3/5 — Promising but falls short on bugs

*2026-03-18, version 1.2*

Great sounds, lovely workflow unfortunately I keep getting “bad signal” messages in AUM and sound is cutting out which kind of takes the joy out of it. Hope they iron out the bugs.

### 4/5 — It's great but..

*2025-06-10, version 1.1.3*

Sonically wonderfsynth - but that forgot to implement any kind of midi learn feature which is a real drawback.

### 4/5 — 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

*2024-10-30, version 1.1.3*

Can you Please add an arpeggiator not a sequence or one a simple one

### 3/5 — No midi mapping

*2023-03-26*

Je n’ai pas rencontré de latence. Par conte, pas de mapping midi

### 3/5 — Synth ok

*2023-03-20*

Le preset manager a évolué, heureusement!
Par contre, je n’arrive pas à accrocher à ce synthé, je lui préfère nettement Zeon, Synthmaster, Animoog Z.

### 4/5 — Ottimo synth ma terribilmente energivoro

*2022-12-08*

Ottime possibilità di modulazione, ottimi suoni ottenibili di qualsiasi tipo, soprattutto pads. Anche una bella grafica;
Ma un unico enorme difetto.
In pochi minuti scalda eccessivamente la cpu e consuma una enormità di energia. Al punto di essere inutilizzabile senza attaccare l'ipad alla spina elettrica.
(Testato su ipad mini 5 con iPadOS 14.4.2)

### 4/5 — Great synth

*2021-11-19, version 1.0.21*

Any chance to crank voices like the desktop version ?

### 4/5 — I tried to email support but too stupid to figure it out

*2020-04-29, version 1.0.15*

I love ALL apps by Audio Damage and advocate ANYONE 
to just buy them. You won’t regret. 

But... any chance on implementing a midi keyboard on ALL of your AuV3’s and be able to record the pitch automation??? That would be phenomenal, as I have been having some issues with other apps midi capabilities so it’d be nice to use them again.

### 5/5 — Top sur A12 iPad mini

*2020-04-13*

Pas de latence constaté sur iPad mini A12 
Gourmand en effet cependant 
Belle sonorité globale

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-03-30, version 1.0.15*

Yes. Great. I’m kinda obsessive, I am interested to new ways to create sounds, rather than using ready made presets or just tweaking them. And Continua did not disappoint me. It is creative, not very simple to get grips with, but not difficult actually. And yes, one can create great patches with it. This is not to say that the presets are not good; on the contrary. But, like I said, I want synths I can be creative with them. And yes, I loved it.

### 4/5 — Bluetooth does work

*2020-03-26, version 1.0.15*

Continua works with my Bluetooth Korg Nanokey Studio keyboard so long as I connect the keyboard using the Bluetooth connect utility first, then launch Continua. If I launch Continua first then try to connect from inside the app, yes, crashes instantly.

### 3/5 — Optimisez votre code

*2020-03-24*

Hi guys your app is lagging to death....nice sound and UI but you need to improve response time of the UI before releasing next release.

### 3/5 — Crash with Bluetooth

*2020-03-19*

The app won’t start if you have Bluetooth headset connected.
The app would crash as soon as you enter Bluetooth MIDI settings.

### 1/5 — Crashes after a few seconds

*2026-04-24, version 1.2.2*

The app stops making sound after a few seconds of playing. internal keyboard or external keyboard. iPad speakers or headphones it doesn’t seem to matter.

### 1/5 — Wooaaah :-)

*2021-05-21*

Nice :-) eigentlich 5 Sterne, nun aber das hier, siehe auch Quanta:
habe 1 Stern wieder abgezogen, da es mir nicht gelingt die App Continua nur auf 1 Midikanal einzustellen, denn damit ist ein Einsatz mit anderen Apps in AUv3 nicht möglich. Continua  klingt so bei Ansteuerung anderer Apps immer mit. Schade, bitte nachbessern.
So, habe nun noch drei Sterne abgezogen, da ich auch auf wiederholten Versuch keine Erstattung bekommen habe. Jetzt bleibe ich wohl auch auf dieser App dieses Entwicklers sitzen, so wie sie jetzt ist, denn Entwicklung findet aktuell wohl noch nicht statt...und die App Entwickler haben sich hier bislang zu Quanta - wo ich bereits geschrieben hatte - auch noch nicht dazu geäußert. Wer mit AUv3 arbeiten möchte, kann Continua so wie auch Quanta nicht richtig integrieren. Es ist erforderlich, dass sie auch nur auf 1 Midikanal ansprechbar ist. Alle anderen Apps von anderen Entwicklern, die ich bislang einsetze, können das...und das sind viele. Wirklich sehr sehr schade für diese an sich sehr gute Apps. :-( Gerne wieder 5 Sterne wenn das Einstellen auf nur 1 MIDI Channel hinzugefügt wird.

### 1/5 — Тормоза

*2020-12-11*

Отличный синтезатор, но сильно тормозит на iPad Pro. Невозможно использовать :(

### 1/5 — Great concept, horrible latency

*2020-01-18, version 1.0.12*

Even with the lowest sample rate, latency is unbearable. Running latest OS, iPad pro

### 2/5 — Limited to six voices

*2021-03-12, version 1.0.21*

Wonderful synth that is severely hampered by only six voices poly. Why? Also no unison detune control. It’s really too bad because it does have an excellent sound, but I find 8 voices minimum is acceptable for a poly synth, 16 minimum with unison. That puts this synth in a really weird place where it’s only useful for keys and plucks, not pads and definitely no problem supersaw.

It isn’t a CPU issue because these six voices barely touch the processor on my iPad. Very weird limitation on an otherwise great synth, but it handicaps the thing so much that i can only give two stars.

### 2/5 — Bad Support

*2021-03-05, version 1.0.21*

Devs do not respond to support requests.

### 2/5 — Dreadful Keyboard!

*2020-12-03, version 1.0.21*

The keyboard is unplayable with the black keys taking up the entire key length. Cannot find any settings to improve it. I cannot get started with this app. I am sure it will deserve more stars once we get to that point. Appears to be the same problem with Phosphor3

### 2/5 — 😢😢😢

*2020-01-17*

Semble sonner très bien mais une latence énorme qui rend l’instrument injouable sur iPad Air 2 sous iOS 12... Éditer les paramètres (Oscillos, enveloppes, modulation...) est une vraie galère !!! 😤😬🤯 ça bug a mort...Peut être devrais-je passer sous le nouvel OS...?!?

### 2/5 — NICE BUT... NO MIDI MAPPING??

*2020-01-12, version 1.0.11*

Ya’ll do some great FX and sexy GUI. But I must admit something is always lacking with the Instruments. 
Continua has no midi mapping and that renders it much less useful to me. I find that should be standard in any instrument today. 
As for modulation mapping, I personally prefer the GUI implementation in Quanta, but its not a deal breaker. 
But that midi mapping, man. Please fix.

### 3/5 — Bad signal

*2026-04-28, version 1.2.2*

Pls pls fix the Bad Signal and audio drop outs in AUM as I can’t trust to use it for live performances and it’s sonically my fav synth so I’m very frustrated

### 5/5 — Update!

*2026-03-14, version 1.2*

Thanks sounds great, free updates are much appreciated

### 5/5 — Force closes on ipad

*2024-08-01, version 1.1.3*

A great synth but in muchneed of an update-shuts off as does quanta sampler synth after a few minutes of use

### 5/5 — Great update!

*2024-05-15, version 1.1.3*

Thank you for the update!

### 5/5 — Beautiful synth , great to program and amazing presets

*2023-08-20, version 1.1.2*

I absolutely love this synth , I use it so often.

### 5/5 — Great, unique sounding synth

*2023-03-20, version 1.1.2*

Another synth from Audio Damage that sounds totally unique. Some reviews complain about a lack of MIDI mapping but the controls are all there in the AUv3 extension. Just load it up in AUM or the DAW of your choice and map to your heart’s content!

### 5/5 — Amazing synth with serious depth.

*2023-03-19, version 1.1.2*

More magic from audio damage. ❤️.

### 5/5 — Ich mag alles von Audio Damage

*2022-02-12*

….

### 5/5 — Amazing sound quality

*2021-05-31, version 1.0.21*

Very good sound quality and well designed and intuitive user interface ! The sound quality is one of the best you can get in iOS !

### 5/5 — Lush, beautiful sounds!

*2021-03-10, version 1.0.21*

Since this whole iPad synth revolution began I’ve purchased over 100 synths. Most are still on my iPad. This one resides in my top 10! Though it doesn’t have near the patch list as, say SynthMaster One, the patches that come with it are so lush and full and just simply beautiful! It’s an easy synth to edit and create great patches  with. This app should get way more love! I highly recommend it!

### 5/5 — Gut

*2020-05-24*

Ich muss sagen, dass er bei der ersten Benutzung eigentlich nicht fertig war. Mit ROLI gespielt, kamen etwa 60% der Noten an. Aber sie haben auf meinen Hinweis sofort reagiert, der Fehler ist weg. Der Browser ist nicht gut, aber kein ausreichender Grund für einen Abzug.

Edit: Browser geändert. Viel besser, danke
