### 3/5 — Can you fix this problem

*2021-03-07, version 2.8.4*

When I downloaded the app it was loading but it crashes and I never  got the chance to using the app can you fix this problem.

### 4/5 — Agréablement surpris

*2020-07-02, version 2.8.3*

Très bonne application daw utilisée avec une evo 4 , des fonctionnalités d’enregistrement et d’édition dignes d’application professionnelle .Cubasis est également très stable sur mon iPad Pro...pourvu que ça dure

### 2/5 — Non c’è la lingua italiana

*2020-06-08, version 2.8.3*

Oltre a non esserci la lingua italiana e quindi diventa difficile da utilizzare soprattutto per chi come me è alle prime armi.  Non è intuitivo

### 4/5 — Excellent but missing some things

*2020-05-24, version 2.8.3*

The software is awesome in general. But I can not automate the preset change in a specific track. For example, I can not automate the preset change in a guitar track adding Tonebridge as a AUv3 effect. Maybe I”m doing something wrong.

### 3/5 — More functional as needed

*2020-05-10, version 2.8.3*

Please add tempo track and markers.

### 3/5 — Le faltan cosas esenciales

*2020-05-03, version 2.8.3*

No tiene la función punch in/out

### 2/5 — New updates confusing

*2020-05-01, version 2.8.3*

I was using cubasis le2 for long without any external device. Now it is being said I need support hardware. I paid for this app but now can’t use it .

### 1/5 — Einfach traurig

*2020-04-07, version 2.8.3*

Seit einer Woche versuche ich Cubase zu erhalten und bis jetzt hat NICHTS funktioniert. Ich habe Cubase und cubasis mit einem Yamaha Produkt gekauft und habe bis heute nicht erhalten wofür ich bezahlt habe. Die App sowie das PC Programm lässt sich NICHT aktivieren! Und JA ich habe den Support schon mehrmals kontaktiert. Einfach traurig ich bin enttäuscht...

### 1/5 — Not being able to download

*2020-03-23, version 2.8.2*

Hi ! I’m trying to download Cubasis as I bought the steinberg UR12 soundcard a couple of months ago and I was working with GarageBand with my iPad but I was finding it a bit limited so I thought I would download cubasis LE because it came the free download with the steinberg sound card. The point is I pressed to download it and it supposedly started but it’s like in a stand by state. The square button it there but it doesn’t appear any blue line showing is downloading. I’d like to attach a picture but it’s not possible. 

Any help please?

Thank you

### 4/5 — Ho acquistato zoom H6

*2020-03-02, version 2.8.2*

Avendo acquistato lo ZOOM H6, posso avere gratuitamente questo software per iPad Pro visto che posseggo il “download access code” per scaricare gratuitamente il CUBASE LE per MAC?

### 3/5 — キーボードショートカットを使いたい

*2020-02-14, version 2.8.2*

iPadで音楽制作できて便利ですが、キーボードでの操作ができないと作業効率が悪いです。完全版や3ではキーボード使えるのでしょうか？

### 3/5 — This is the old version

*2020-02-13, version 2.8.2*

If you want to buy this, buy Cubasis 3 and not this version. As a DAW it is the best on the App Store for music production.

### 4/5 — Version 2.8.3?

*2020-02-03, version 2.8.2*

Upgrade from LE

### 4/5 — Ok

*2020-01-21, version 2.8.2*

It’s decent but it shouldn’t just be a demo but it’s still ok
It isn’t the worst DAW for mobile but it could be better

### 1/5 — Aktivierung geht nicht

*2020-01-17, version 2.8.2*

Ist bestimmt geil aber ich kriege die Aktivierung nicht hin , hab ur2c gekauft , ich verbinde es mit dem Interface und es passiert nichts. Die Version soll zu den Interface dazu geben aber einschienend nicht.

### 3/5 — Só é bom pra midi

*2020-01-16, version 2.8.2*

Nao serve pra trabalhar com audios. Quando importa um audio o programa tenta acomodar o audio ao grid e nao te deixa arrumar. Aí se voce importar dois audios do mesmo concerto e tentar sincronizar ambos pra mixar, e o programa não sincronizar direito, ja era, não dá pra arrumar! Eu comprei o upgrade interno (cubasis 2 versao completa), joguei dinheiro fora. 

Porem se voce trabalha com click e midi principalmente, aí ele é bem bom. Como eu toco musica clássica sem click, e preciso mixar recitais inteiros... nao serve!

Infelizmente a sugestão do desenvolvedor na resposta não resolveu o problema. Mesmo com o grid “off” ainda não é possível alinhar perfeitamente as duas pistas, e existe sempre um pequeno delay entre as duas.

### 1/5 — Software that is never free and no better than the rest

*2024-10-30, version 2.8.6*

Don’t waste the time downloading. In short this paid app came with an instrument that doesn’t have Bluetooth, so when they reply to people that you need to connect the device it came with… the app only allows Bluetooth midi connection for that so it keeps itself in Demo mode. Cubase has better marketing people than developers because the amount of free or significantly less cost do the same work or better.

### 1/5 — Too Restrictive to test

*2022-01-08, version 2.8.6*

Can’t record anything.  Too restrictive to test.  Too bad.  If it was any good I would gladly buy the full version.

### 1/5 — Non riesco a sbloccare la versione demo

*2021-06-22, version 2.8.5*

Ciao non riesco a capire a cosa vuole che lo connetto per sbloccare la versione demo che dura 30 minuti

### 1/5 — Not compatible with this iPad.

*2020-12-24, version 2.8.4*

Used to work fine before Cubasis LE3 was their new baby.

### 1/5 — Useless with Steinberg UR44C

*2020-12-08, version 2.8.3*

I downloaded this when I bought a Steinberg UR44C, 4 channel audio interface unit.

Sadly the software only allows me to use 2 channels, most of the options are greyed out and others say this feature is only available when you upgrade.

Nowhere when I bought the Steinberg did it say the software was basically a taster version so I feel this was misleading and useless for the purpose I bought it for.

### 1/5 — RIP OFF!! Not Eligible for Refund!! Don’t buy!!

*2020-10-21, version 2.8.3*

In order to try the Inter-App feature you have to buy the Full Feature Set, but I find out the Inter-App Routing feature does not work properly with my Amp Sim Apps. It’s distorted with clicks & pops. I used this APP for less then 1 hour trying to get it to work properly. Requested a refund and was denied. Now I’m stuck with this GARBAGE 🤬 Edit: Their reply is Misleading & False. The Inter-App feature is not included in the Demo.  You HAVE to purchase the Full Feature Set in order to try the Inter-App feature. So if the Inter-App feature doesn’t work properly, you’re stuck with this App 😡

### 1/5 — Total crap

*2020-09-29, version 2.8.3*

This one is a total crap. It’s just a clickbait released for the sake of advertising this really lame version of Cubase. Works for 30 minutes only, lmao... Don’t bother downloading it.

### 1/5 — Awful company, awful product

*2020-08-16, version 2.8.3*

Not satisfied with abandoning development of Cubasis 2, and trying to charge users full price with no upgrade for the incredibly buggy Cubasis 3, they also limit this product to a demo unless you already have some specified hardware. What a joke. I would never buy anything form these guys again.

### 1/5 — Бред

*2020-07-03, version 2.8.3*

Хоть бы где-то написали что в демо версии ничего не будет работать и что даже в демо можно находится 30 минут.Полный отстой!

### 1/5 — Aktivierung nicht möglich

*2020-05-21, version 2.8.3*

Schade, hätte ich gerne getestet, aber die App scheint das UA-22 von Roland - obwohl gelistet auf der Steinbergseite - nicht zu erkennen (im Gegensatz zu Garageband). Die Tipps aus dem Forum lauten 1. Cubasis LE starten 2. Audio Device anschließen (mit Originaladapter und Stromversorgung). Führt zu gar nichts, keine Aktivierung, keine weitere Option, nur die 30 Minuten - Demoversion (wozu soll das gut sein...?). Auch die Reihenfolge umzudrehen (Device einstecken, App starten) hat denselben Effekt. Sehr schade, zum Glück habe ich die Vollversion nicht gekauft.

### 5/5 — Great product !!!

*2021-11-28, version 2.8.6*

Easy to use , works flawlessly , the plugins are a nice add on ! 
I strongly recommend , well worth the 40 Bones !!!

### 5/5 — Got both 2 and 3 version for 4th and 6th ipads for 1/4 $ Black Friday price

*2020-11-29, version 2.8.3*

Simply upgraded to Full Feature Set of Cubasis2, added every InAppPurchases and transferred IAPs to LE3.  After it upgraded LE3 with FullFeatureSet to Cubasis3 for 1/4 $ by BlackFriday price. Now have both 2+3 apps on old and new ipad with nowadays workflow.

### 5/5 — 結局、金出さないと...ほぼ何も出来ないバージョン🤷‍♀️

*2020-05-09, version 2.8.3*

インターフェイスのおまけだから、いいけど
使えない、あべマスク💮みたいなやつ配るな
(こんなので🇯🇵喜ぶと,思ってんのか)

### 5/5 — Лучшая на iOS

*2020-02-01, version 2.8.2*

Программа классная, идеальное решение для тех, кто любит писать музыку на мобильных устройствах) Единственный минус - это то, что нельзя открывать проекты из cubase, будет классно, если разработчики добавят поддержку cpr файлов)

### 5/5 — I like this app.

*2020-01-15, version 2.8.2*

I like this app.

### 5/5 — Can’t ask for more

*2020-01-07, version 2.8.2*

Super pre pro app.all you can need

### 5/5 — Отличный продукт.

*2019-11-20, version 2.8.1*

Первый раз познакомился с ним на ipad 2 и даже на нем года 4 назад все прекрасно работало. Прекрасно подходит как дома, так и для концертов. Хотелось бы узнать у разработчиков, будет ли распродажа, как летом. Старый iCloud, увы был потерян, на котором был куплен куб.

### 5/5 — There’s a reason for everything

*2019-10-27, version 2.8.1*

I just bought yet another copy even though I have paid hundreds for existing software on an Apple ID (lalafel@me) that for “some reason” after YEARS of trying to recover Apple just wont help. And I am quite literate digitally. I have a UR 22 mkII, with an existing Steinberg acct from the desktop DAW, and for all of you complaining about needing the hardware, ESPECIALLY using an Apple device....,how can you NOT GET THE SIGNIFICANCE of the manufacturer needing control over BOTH hw&sw !.???! well let’s just say as a long time pro engineer w national acts under my belt I wouldn’t give your demo 10 seconds of listening time. Steinberg may not be easy to learn but nothing comes close in terms of its sheer power and capability, and admittedly the visual interface could be friendlier (but we are talking many years since we used any of their s/w). We didn’t have difficulty accessing our Steinberg acct A few months ago. So we are , yes dropping the 50$ sight unseen on this version and KNOW it’s a bargain since we were trained with real audio gear as an AES member and every type of software stretching back to Dr T on an ATARI ...SOOOOO if you lookin 4 friendly we suggest you stay OUT of the music biz 😂. Bein sincere here.

### 5/5 — Top

*2019-07-08, version 2.8.1*

Seit 1,5 Jahren am Basteln. Macht Spaß!

### 5/5 — Outstanding!

*2019-07-01, version 2.8.1*

I’ve been a Steinberg customer, (Cubase/Wavelab) user for years. Since the early days of VST/32 I’ve been hooked.

I’ve seen professional audio engineers switch from impressive Pro Tools setups and sell them to acquire the quality of Cubase’s or Nuendo’s audio engine after taking demos to their studios!

Remember, to get the full benefit of Cubasis you’ll need compatible hardware. With the Neve partnership, I use the UR-RT4.

It’s amazing to hear the quality audio that can be recorded on an iPad these days! 

Keep up the great work and don’t forget to send my coffee mug!
