### 4/5 — Seems to have been fixed

*2025-02-07, version 1.1*

Now works if you change Settings/Debug/HW unlock. At last! Much better.

### 1/5 — Still broken

*2024-10-15, version 1.1*

They haven’t fixed any of the bugs. Still does not recognise TC Helicon Go guitar. Close button on menu doesn’t work most of the time. Freezes up. Cannot add amps or pedals. Sounds very harsh and brittle.

### 1/5 — All features stay locked

*2022-12-07*

All features stay locked even if buy Go Guitar Pro device and connect it to your iPhone. GGP is recognized in IOS settings but features in the app are staying locked no matter what you do. What’s the point to create an app and to sell a device that supposed to work with it if only TC Helicon guys can use it in fancy YouTube videos?

### 1/5 — Freezes upon opening on iOS 16

*2022-11-10*

Useless app. Purchased a TC Helicon Go Twin and wanted to use this Guitar Rack app with it but app freezes upon opening and cannot get it to work.
Looks like they haven’t updated it in years.
So why advertise a product you sell works with an app if you don’t update the app to work???! False advertising!!

### 1/5 — App Crashes

*2022-10-31*

Never been able to use this app because it locks up and crashes every time I try to use it. Needs an update or bug fixes.

### 5/5 — Sounds Great Just Enable Debugging

*2022-06-07, version 1.1*

and you will have all of the effects regardless of device. Woks like a treat on the TC Go Guitar Pro. Reverbs are particularly good. Other effects also good. TC just enable all effects by default and you’ll sell more interfaces and prevent a low rating.

### 1/5 — Crashes my iPhone 8+

*2022-02-25, version 1.1*

…and all the fx are locked except one. Don’t bother till they fix it.

### 4/5 — Too bad AUv3 is not working

*2022-01-16*

Real cool app and great sounds. Unfortunately AUv3 doesn’t work. Otherwise awesome amp sim and effects suite. Really digging the TC Helicon Go Twin interface!

### 1/5 — Limited use with TC Helicon Guitar Pro Interface

*2021-04-17*

Unfortunately no features unlock with Guitar Pro interface despite what I read on their website before I bought it. Contacted support - they admit app needs fixing and have no idea when. Their marketing and FAQs are misleading. A shame because the interface works well with other guitar amp and effects apps and is better value than the competition.

### 5/5 — Audio Unit bug

*2021-03-25, version 1.1*

Great product - but AU bug - pls fix it!
