The Best and the most Versatile AU App

I have been on the hunt for Indian AU instruments for the iPad for playing live at our Church and Geoshred is the only one that has set a Gold Standard for not just Indian Instruments but also Violins and Saxophones… And niche ones like Ouds…. The sounds are extremely realistic with so many options to play with… If you are a musician and have an iPad, this one is a Must Have… Thanks Pat for all the help in setting this up with my gig… Their customer support is awesome too… You can reach out to them for any queries and they’ll always be one step ahead of you in wanting to resolve it…

Awesome for pro

It’s an awesome pro app but one problem as we change the scale for playing instruments there is no option to change the scale of backing track please update this also.

You can't change the scale of the backing track. It's a recording.

Pretty cool

So cool, it is pretty.

This app makes me a newgen beast!

This app rocks and is an audio unit. I think it may be working in GarageBand as Inter-App-Audio, but I think it’s very cool!

Customer Service truly amazing!

I needed technical support, and I was truly amazed by the promptness as well as the knowledge and solutions that were provided. The issue was in no way caused by Geoshred, but rather hardware from my end. Pat Scandalis was there to help me from start to finish. Also want to mention that Geoshred is an amazing app and instrument!! There are no limits to what this program can do either as stand-alone or in your DAW.

🎶 Incredible Expressive Instrument on iPad/iPhone!

GeoShred Play is one of the most powerful and expressive music apps I’ve ever used. The sound quality is outstanding — every note feels alive, especially with the smooth pitch bends and realistic instrument modeling. The interface is intuitive even for beginners, yet offers deep control for serious musicians.
It’s amazing how easily you can play Indian ragas, western scales, or even create your own unique sounds. Pairing it with a MIDI keyboard or using the touch surface itself gives a real performance feel. The “Play” version gives a great taste of what the full GeoShred can do.
Highly recommend it for anyone interested in making real music on mobile — from hobbyists to pros. 🎸🎹

Bug in update

Recent update has a bug not present in previous version. When playing Geo Violin if you play two simultaneous notes the sound engine crashes so all you hear is the attack portion of the violin sound so no trills are possible. As mentioned before this did not happen in the previous version. Will update review when this is fixed.

We are aware that this issue is new and plan to fix it in the next bug fix release. The finger/MPE expression function is a toggle between finger expression and pad expression. It's necessary to move the pad to keep driving the expression. This is explained in detail in the video "Application Note #33: Getting Started with the GeoSWAM Instruments". Go to 6:30. This link will take you there directly: https://youtu.be/YM0IiB1ZV-I?si=7YHNqz1S17FLvR3Y&t=388 What's happening is that the last pad expression value is not latched when the Finger Expression button is toggled. We plan to fix this in the next release. In the mean time, gently moving the pad for expression will mitigate the issue. Note that using a review for customer support is ineffective. It takes 2 days for us to see your review, and you don't see our response for 2 days. It's really more effective to work with us on solving the problem. You can reach us at support@moforte.com, or in GeoShred "Menu> Help" Report Problem".

Vero cool!

This is really great stuff! Awesome sound and really user friendly.

Nice app！！！but……

I love it it’s a very good virtual instrument!!!
But I have a advice that maybe the UI still can be more pretty and there can be more tutorials about working with other DAWs!
And that modeling guitar really can't make the tone better?

Did you look at "Menu> Help> Video Manual ..." ? There is an 8 chapter video manual are over 50 video application notes, many which cover working with DAWs. You can also find this video manual and application notes online here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLBlsEMJbGRD4EXw-Ohaa3drcwg5Lz7Av0

Amazing instrument, amazing support

Firstly, this is an incredible instrument that sounds amazing! I had an issue with geoshred play and pro, app store related, and they responded immediately and solved the problem. This is a top notch app with top notch support.

What a great tool!

I love this thing. It’s rare that an iPad tool gives you this much authentic expression. Workflow could be better but it’s still 5 out of 5

Dis here is straight up fun 😘

I’m not a musician but I play one at home. I’ll never play this like Mr. Rudess but if I reach 1/100 th of his talent I’ll be alright. I plain to use it mostly for add on sounds on my garage band tracks. Very relaxing.

Wonderful app for every musician

The level of control that one gets in this app for the various music instruments is simply out of the world.

Absolutely love this App

After watching Jordan Rudess demonstrate GeoShred I had to try it and I really love using it. It’s very well laid out, easy to use, incredibly fun, and makes it easy to start being creative.

My kid loves sliding around the notes and seeing her face light up with joy when she finds a note she likes is an added bonus.

Don’t buy this app

This is pretty much a SUPER limited version much like a free trial but that costs 15$….
You can only play the super distorted electric guitar on a minor pentatonic scale. If you want to do anything else you’ll need to buy the overpriced 40$ "pro" app

Hi Vincivnni, Thanks for your feedback! It looks like there may be some confusion — GeoShred Play is definitely capable of playing more than a single scale. If you go to Menu > Settings > Scale/Root, you’ll find over 200 scales available to choose from. GeoShred Play is a powerful performance version of GeoShred. It includes the built-in guitar model and access to 200+ expressive presets like Electric Guitars, Feedback Distortion Guitar, Steel Dobro Acoustic, Classical Acoustic, Sitars, and GeoJamTrax — which feature easy-to-play presets with backing tracks and a diatonic (no wrong notes) keyboard. You can also expand your sound palette by adding any of the 31 GeoSWAM and Naada instruments available in the store. There's no need to purchase GeoShred Pro separately — GeoShred Play can be upgraded to GeoShred Play+Pro for a fraction of the price of the full Pro version. Just go to Menu > Store to explore the upgrade options. If you have any other questions or need help getting set up, feel free to reach out to us directly at support@moforte.com. We're happy to help!
