But it randomly loses state. If I close a DAW and then reopen, it resets. Heck, if I just leave it alone for too long, it resets. It has no internal preset saving, and when I try to save presets in Auria, it doesn’t respond to them. Not especially useful. ### 3/5 — Crashes on mixdown *2020-06-09, version 1.0* Updated review. I discovered that you can get this to mix down. This app will has two AUv3 plug-ins. Choose the one called DerVoco AU MFx and it will work. Still only giving this 3 stars because that was unclear. This app does exactly what I needed to do however, you cannot export your final mix if this plug-in is enabled. I wish I would’ve listen to the numerous reviews that state this. This app needs to come off of the App Store. It’s broken and it does not work! I’m wondering how many more people this developer is going to let buy this without fixing it. Fix the app and I’ll change the review. ### 3/5 — Crashes When Exporting *2019-01-23, version 1.0* I love using this plugin, it’s a lot of fun! However, when attempting to export a song from Garageband that uses this plugin, it fails and does not reload. This makes the project useless if it cannot be exported. Please help!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fake Vocoder *2025-09-17* Achtung es gibt keine Rückerstattung für diesen Fake Vocoder. ### 1/5 — Jupiter s *2024-11-01* Tried on some channels , drum ans vocals , there a little change in sound but not worth the money ### 1/5 — Not working *2021-03-05, version 1.0* It does not work with GarageBand it does not get midi and it is only visible in the effects not as Audio Unit. ### 1/5 — Can’t Find It *2020-06-29, version 1.0* I just bought this app as it stated it could be used in (I assumed) GarageBand but it is nowhere to be found. ### 1/5 — Uygulama yok *2020-05-31, version 1.0* Uygulama yok ### 1/5 — Another rip-off from a horrible app developer *2020-01-02, version 1.0* As other reviews have stated, this app is pretty much worthless because it fails 100% of the time when trying to export songs from GarageBand. But at least it’s only a couple of bucks down the drain. By all means, do not buy the Zeeon synth from BeepStreet. It does not show up at all as an Inter-App Audio instrument in GarageBand. It is even falsely-advertised as working in AUV3 mode. It doesn’t. I’m much more upset about the 10 bucks I lost downloading that sham clunker. ### 1/5 — DerVoco & Garageband - howto? *2019-11-30* Have purchased Dervoco app for using it with Garageband. Unfortunately, the only way I made it work is just in ‘Internal’ mode via internal ‘keyboard’. But GB records only dry track, with no vocoder effect :( Googling any manuals got no help. So, the question is: how do I setup Dervoco to record a vocoder vox track in GB (vocals as audio track + melody part as midi track)? Update: 1 month passed - no reply from support... Guys, are you still in business? Update2: alas, looks like buying this app was just waste of money, at least in case of Garage band (( ### 1/5 — Couldn't get it to work... *2019-05-10, version 1.0* I couldn't get it to work with GarageBand on iPhone. Is this only for iPad or am I missing something? ### 2/5 — 他不能在库乐队上使用 *2020-04-02* it can not use in GarageBand ！！it can not be recongnized by Garageband！！ ### 3/5 — Doesn’t save settings in any of my apps *2022-07-08, version 1.0* None of the settings save. It sounds great, and seems to work very solidly. If I could save the settings, I’d give it 6 stars! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This app is actually very cool✨ *2024-03-11* It has everything that you need to vocoder effects. It has some bugs / functionalities which should be fixed asap, but I believe in you!! Thank you for a excellent app!! ### 5/5 — Müq uygulama *2024-02-18, version 1.0* Uygulama yok diğenler açıklamayı okuyun cubase yada garageband gibi bir programla beraber çalışıyormuş tek başına çalışmıyomuş ama müq bir vocoder 💯 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2023-11-15* Thnkss devs ### 5/5 — Very Impressive *2021-05-17* I have really enjoyed this app, it sounds fabulous and is quite useful and I love the aesthetics of its design. Bravo, keep the good vibes coming! ### 5/5 — Beep Street *2021-04-25, version 1.0* Not knowing how an app or a plug-in works is not a basis for a bad review. If you can’t take the time to understand how something works, I do not want to read your instruction that I should not buy something. In fact, I don’t want to read any review that tells me what I should do with my money. I’ll give reviewers some instruction, because apparently it’s needed. Unfortunately, it’s needed everywhere (not my job), and not just for this niche product. Recommend a product or don’t, tell us your experience with the developer’s work, compare the product to other things if you like. That is, write a review - not invective, not frustration with your own misunderstanding, not support requests (or demands), not point bribes, and most certainly not imperatives about the buying habits of readers. This kind of stuff wastes your time and ours, it’s out of place, and it is frankly unwelcome. On the product, it works, it behaves in the expected way if you understand old-school vocoders, and it may or may not be what you imagined if you have no experience with such equipment. There are resources available to explain the use of this effect. Please bring yourself up to speed and get the product working before you review it, because otherwise your review will join other irrelevant and misleading reviews here. On the developer (who has been attacked here for no obvious reason), many people - including most of the longtime musicians using software on this platform - find this source both reliable and valuable. A given user may prefer other developers, but this one is well-regarded and responsible. Potential buyers should think about whether an analogue-modeled vintage vocoder fits into their music and workflow before purchase. Digital vocoder designs based on FFT tend to be more straightforward to use and give a wider range of effects. Generally we look to the analogue types on which this one is based for the particular qualities of the sounds they give and the gentle-yet-strange transients they produce. The palette is more limited but special in its characteristics. Check examples of music using vocoders from the seventies if you’re not sure about the sounds you can coax from this kind of machine or software. ### 5/5 — Amazing, Classic and Easy To Use *2020-02-08, version 1.0* Great Job there. Sounds great and is pretty straightforward. And on top of that I am lays happy to find good stuff from small and individual developers. ### 5/5 — Best on IOS *2019-11-30, version 1.0* Best vocoder on IOS. Easy set up and cuts through the mix no problem. ### 5/5 — Maravilla *2019-07-23, version 1.0* Muy completo, fácil e intuitivo. ### 5/5 — Just right! *2018-09-28, version 1.0* I’ve been playing electronic music since the 70’s. This is a great, straightforward vocoder. Once I got the fx send inputs sorted on Cubasis ( not insert) it worked like a vocoder should do. For the price it’s a bargain. Well done! ### 4/5 — Fine *2026-05-14, version 1.0* It’s great but I don’t understand how to get it to work with midi --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
