I was a beta tester for this app and it has been a mainstay of my iOS audio production workflow. It was, to the best of my knowledge, the first iOS fix with action sequencing which was a massive game changer. Will you be updating it to an AUv3 unit so it can take back its crown again? Big love and thanks for all the memories 💖🙏🏾☀️ ### 5/5 — This was my fav iOS FX for years! *2025-01-29* This was my fav fx but since it won’t load in AUM or anything any more, I can’t say it still is. Which is a shame because I was a beta tester for this app and it has been a mainstay of my iOS audio production workflow. It was, to th best of my knowledge, the first iOS fix with action sequencing which was a massive game changer. Will you be updating it to an AUv3 unit so it can take back its crown again? Big love and thanks for all the memories 💖🙏🏾☀️ ### 3/5 — Amazing app…nearly useless without AU support *2023-07-28, version 1.4* This app is incredibly fun and would be essential if only it could be used as an audio unit…without that it’s just a toy. I wish I knew it couldn’t be used as an AU before I paid for it ### 4/5 — AUv3? *2022-12-13, version 1.4* Wirklich richtig gut. Läuft bei mir auf einem iPad Pro M1. Die FX klingen top, die App ist sehr logisch aufgebaut. Was mir zum 5 Stern fehlt ist die AUv3 Kompatibilität. Dafür würde ich glatt noch mal einen Obulus entrichten. ### 3/5 — Die App stürzt beim Start oftmals einfach ab. *2022-12-07, version 1.4* Hallo. Die Idee ist einfach perfekt. Nur leider stürzt die App auf meinem IPhone XR 128Gb beim Start direkt ab und ich muss sie mehrmals neu starten bis sie dann mal funktioniert. Meistens muss ich erstmalig den Arbeitsspeicher leeren(macht man am schnellsten wenn man die Kamera öffnet ;-D ), damit die App offen bleibt. Ich bin auch IOS Beta Tester, und vielleicht liegt es auch daran. Werde es weiter beobachten und würde mich freuen wenn du mir mal eine Rückmeldung geben könntest. Beste Grüße. Ben. ### 5/5 — Love it *2021-06-19, version 1.3.0* Being able to automate the effects on the xy pad is so great. I can’t think of any other effects processor that can record your gestures so easily. Would love to see some more filter types and granular effects in the future. ### 5/5 — Five Stars App! *2020-06-12* 1-Easy to use 2- Fun to use 3- The effects sounds greats 4- A lot of effects (some are rare and unique) I can’t ask for better for my money! :) ### 4/5 — Excellent *2020-02-16, version 1.2.0* Ne manque que AUV3 réellement. Pour le reste c’est vraiment le genre d’application qui pousse à la créativité. ### 4/5 — LOVE the app but dying for updates *2019-06-16, version 1.2.0* This has become my go-to iOS FX app but would love it even more if it were more frequently updated. New effects options and/or updates to existing effects would be greatly appreciated, or even options to purchase more effects or effect packs. Also frequently have to reload this app in Audiobus upon initial loading of a Au patch. Otherwise amazing work! ### 3/5 — Great app with lots of bugs *2019-04-22, version 1.2.0* The effects and interface are great, but when opening or changing to new effect it makes very audible digital noise. This makes it useless in live performance situations. +it stops working in Aum regularly. ## Frequently asked questions about Elastic FX ### What does Elastic FX do?
