Very User-Friendly

Simple & to the point is what I've been looking for when it comes to studio effects & edits. Fender delivers premium results w/o the confusion. It really cuts to the chase!

Doesn’t Work

I am trying to connect my Tone Master Pro to Fender Studio via USB-C and it absolutely refuses to display the Tone Master Pro under Audio Setup. This app sucks.

headphone problem

Headphones will not work on up-to-date imac. The headphones work on all other sound options on the computer. In the Fender Studio drop down menu under Audio Setup and Playback Device only imac Speakers is shown (speaker cable is connected to imac.) I want this app to work properly before I invest in a Fender Link device.

Buggy

Not a fan of having to log in literally every time. Functions just fine but it gets annoying anytime I got an idea I get asked to log in before anything else.

It’s 2026, terrible GUI

To have Fender offer this up as what, an entry level to prepare someone for Studio One (rebranded)? This is the reason many of us aren’t happy with Fender’s acquisition of Presonus
Apple’s Garageband, as imperfect as it is, still prepares someone for Logic Pro in how the channel strips are set up.

Does’t work at all

I loved the idea of multitrack recording my gigs. I have a Presonus 24r mixer which suppose to work seamlessly with this app. As soon as i connect the usb cable it crashes. What a joke!

Registration issues continue

iPad m4 and iPhone 17. iRig usb. It worked once or twice. Hangs regularly when starting. It’s hit or miss getting it to start jiggling the toilet handle. Too unreliable to trust. Remove the hoops to jump through the inane anti user friendly login/registration and it may be practical. The export to desktop app is amazing but if you can’t open the app, its function brilliant or not is entirely inconsequential.

Audio not working right.

I’m using this with a fender link io on an iPhone 17 pro max, and when monitoring the audio in studio it cuts out like crazy. If I change to monitoring the input signal on the I/O device it sounds fine there. Wiggling all the connections changes nothing. So it has to be a software or compatibility issue. I tired all different bitrates and sample sizes, no difference. I don’t know if it’s the hardware or the software, but it’s completely unusable.

Developer said there was an update and to try again. There has been no update. Just double checked on the App Store again, and no update has been installed and no update is available. Still broken.

This should now be fixed, please try again

Server Error

As mentioned by others, can’t register because of a 500 Server error. Most of the Jams are locked but that doesn’t really matter because you can’t use the Jam mode! Update: Just receive a reply that the server problem has been fixed but I’m still getting the same 500 Server Error when trying to register. I even created a new ID and password which didn’t help! I realize this is a free app but it would be nice if it actually worked.

This was a server issue over the weekend - it should now be resolved

Drum metronome

Can’t find the 75 patterns. Dig the rest of the update.

Fender Studio

Incredible amount of technology in a small unit. The sounds & editing are beyond belief. Another Fender success!

Can’t register or log in.

I can’t log in. I get an error 500. I can’t download anything, the progress meter starts then goes away and switches back to a download icon.
I love Fender, but I do not like this app so far.

Nice idea, but buggy!

I love the idea of a simple DAW focused on jamming, and as a Studio One user I’m glad both products exist. But Fender Studio is extremely buggy. By day two it stopped playing or downloading any jam tracks. They start and fail in under a second, making the app unusable for my main intended purpose. The sign-in flow is also broken: I often get a 500 error, or it just fails with no message. After I finally get signed in, many jam tracks still appear locked and the app tells me to sign in again, even though I already am. Please fix these issues.

Works!

Awesome, plugged my old Zoom G5n into an iPad Pro. No audio interface needed. Plays stereo back through my dual FRFR speakers. Fun on the cheap.

Does not work

When I first saw the app, I got so excited But it does not do anything don’t download complete scam

Wow, is it bad.

…And the award for the worst UI/UX goes to Fender.
If you’re new to recording try Garageband instead of this utter disaster.

It does what it’s meant to do!

News flash, clowns! This is not meant to be a complete DAW! It basically says that on the cover - if you could read..! I for one am happy to see putting out free utilities for guitarists and I think it’s going to do wonders for their brand, and in my case it’s bringing back a little love for the name in the first place. Keep it up, please! :)

I want this to work

I want this to be great, but I’m using an iRig as an interface and get no audio whatsoever

Response from developer

Make sure you have the audio interface selected in the Application Menu>Audio Setup. For more help, please contact support@fender.com or your interface manufacturer
