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! ### 5/5 — Ottima *2018-05-08, version 1.1.1* Ottima app, di un ottimo sviluppatore. ### 5/5 — Innovative *2018-05-08, version 1.1.1* I’ve barely scratched the surface of this app but I already know it goes really deep. With up to 4 effects with multiple routings and automated parameter changes there is an awful lot you can achieve, from subtle and classy all the way through to downright madness, it’s all here. ### 5/5 — Intuitive, fun, and impressive! *2017-12-24, version 1.0.1* Elastic FX is a fabulous effects app, with a beautiful design and top-notch sound-mangling quality! If you’ve used Elastic Drums, you’ll be equally impressed by the musicality and usability of this app. I’ve already tried feeding audio into it from Ableton Live by way of Studiomux, and it works like a charm. And I’ve used it inside of Modstep to process sound from other iOS apps. This app will surely become a go-to component of my creative workflow. And as a teacher of electronic music at the high school level, where we use both Ableton and iPads, I’m excited for students to start putting this through its paces. Highly recommended!!! ### 5/5 — Be gentle... Be insane! *2017-12-22, version 1.0.1* What started as a few blips from Dot Melody, became some sort of hypnotic collection of melted wave forms. I like the quick navigation of the app. Very unique possibilities and plenty of raw power. I’m excited to see how this app updates. Did a video on YouTube to show off 3 minutes of what Elastic FX can do. Worth every cent. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2017-12-19, version 1.0.1* yet another app getting me closer to completely ditching laptop for iPad. I always especially liked how the effects section of elastic drums was implemented, so I was stoked to be able to throw it plus so much more into any signal chain. Only thing I’ve noticed that isn’t that big of a deal but took a second to get used to, when switching between effects I have to press then scroll before release or else the effect turns off. Maybe some way of doing either or would be cool, but it’s such a minor grievance I wouldn’t let it stop me from giving this app 5 star rating. Thanks for the hard work! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — not working in audiobus 3 Ios 11 *2018-12-09, version 1.1.7* basically, this would be a brilliant app. But unfortunately it is not working with audiobus, telling me that I have to bring to foreground or restart the ipad. But both actions did not help at all..... so it is absolutely useless. ### 2/5 — No Auv3 support. *2019-02-21, version 1.2.0* Still no auv3 support. This app, while good, becomes less and less useful every update. ### 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 ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Great On It’s Own *2018-11-28, version 1.1.5* Just got this on sale and ran into issues with audio hosting. On it’s own it is fun. Really fun. But when it is time for serious work especially in a live performance, not a choice effect when you want to get up and going. I had a loop on a synth going on in the input section and the EFX in the effects slot of AUM (and did this also with AB3). The only time I could hear a signal is when I was on the EFX app. Once I switched over to the host the volume would just go down. Once I switched to the Synth the volume would fade out. On AUM I tried both post and pre settings (thinking this needed some special set up. Anyhow, no dice. Obviously this app has worked well for a lot of users. However I think other users have more time and patience than just bringing in a effects app into the host and expecting it to work with out other settings needed. Thats not how I perform. Effects for me just have to be “On It” when I perform live. EFX is just not one of those effects. Research before buying, how others set it up. It’s a great idea but needs more fixing to useable in a live situation. ### 3/5 — Not so great *2018-03-21, version 1.1.1* Sound quality of these effects is not very good. The reverb has a cheap, metallic sound. ### 3/5 — IMPC pro 2 *2018-03-08, version 1.1* Crashing all the time with iMPC pro 2 ### 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. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This was my fav iOS FX for years! *2025-02-20, version 1.4* This was my fav fx but it won’t load in AUM (as an AUV3). 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 💖🙏🏾☀️ ### 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! :) ### 5/5 — Meilleure app d’effets + midi *2019-02-09, version 1.1.8* Jusqu’à maintenant, c’est la meilleure que j’ai trouvée. Meilleure que des applis bien plus chères. ### 5/5 — Completa *2019-01-15, version 1.1.8* Con la possibilità di automazione degli ottimi effetti è forse l’app fx definitiva. ### 5/5 — Super! *2018-09-10, version 1.1.4* Top App läuft stabil und hat wirklich super Effekte um Klänge zu verfremden. Einzig ein kleiner simpler Looper würde die App noch besser machen. ### 5/5 — Impressed *2018-08-25, version 1.1.4* Better than some virsyn type effects ### 5/5 — Quality multi fx *2018-07-26, version 1.1.4* Don’t overlook this just because it’s not AUV3. It’s a really nice effect for adding variation or glitching your audio. The effects are really good sounding and the interface is easy to use with nice automation capabilities. ### 5/5 — Just amazing *2018-05-09, version 1.1.1* It’s the first app that’s given me a Real crave for interapp/audiobus apps. It gives a new dimension to iOS music. Simple, powerful, very intuitive !! Love it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
