### 1/5 — Does not recognize my TC Helicon Go Guitar

*2020-07-01*

This app will only give you the bare bones, unless it recognizes your TC HeIicon product. I downloaded this app just after receiving my Go Guitar interface. No luck. I am using iPod with 1/4” jack as the product was designed for. It may need the newer connection to recognize. I’m not going to pay another $10 just to get it to work (if it does). Also, tried to contact support link. Dead link. Very disappointed! Could be a great product otherwise.

### 2/5 — Shrug

*2020-05-16, version 1.0*

Looks cool but can’t use any of the locked effects even though I have tc helicon hardware

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2020-04-26*

It does not recognize my tc helicon go guitar as a tc helicon product. I read some reviews and it seams others are having this problem as well. Please fix and i will re review but for now its the lowest score because I own the right equipment, it just wont work. My goguitar is great, just this app is messed up.

### 1/5 — Poor Documentation

*2020-02-20*

No documentation of using the app. Recording files is okay but the file gets lost to who knows where, since the save functionality does not allow the user to select a folder.

### 1/5 — Won’t unlock the features

*2020-02-02*

I bought a Go Guitar Pro to specifically unlock the many features in the app but it doesn’t unlock anything
Getting in touch with TC Helicon support is difficult to put it mildly and being diplomatic in fact so far it’s taken over an hour to get no where
I would be extremely grateful if someone from said company could get in touch and offer advice
On the plus side it does work with GarageBand

### 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.

### 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.

### 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.

### 1/5 — Go GuitarTuna Pro won’t unlock Guitar Rack items

*2021-02-04*

I recently got the Guitar Pro thinking it would unlock the items in Guitar Rack App like it says it does but it does not unlock anything!
I have an iPhone running iOS 13!
Don’t bother buying Helicon Guitar Pro!

### 1/5 — Still not unlocking with go guitar pro

*2020-11-19, version 1.1*

Any planned date to fix?

### 1/5 — TIME TO EITHER FIX OR GIVE UP?

*2020-08-25, version 1.1*

To the Developer.......

How comes you can update this app,
But not fix the iOS 12 problems with "Voice rack fx "?

I was told that you only have one developer? Strange?
Voice rack fx has problem rendering on iOS 12 & higher.
Apple have updated the software but you have not ?
I'm sure it's not a major piece of work for you to figure out what the problem is...

If voice rack fx was updated and worked on iOS 12
Your ratings would increase, your app sales would increase....

Or do the iOS musicians that use your products not count???

I urge you to look closely at voice rack fx as AUv3 
In Cubasis AUM.....

### 1/5 — Very limited access

*2020-07-05, version 1.0*

Bought go guitar hd which should unlock all features but doesn’t 
Support useless
Might be good if/when it eventually becomes usable

### 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.

### 5/5 — Audio Unit bug

*2021-03-25, version 1.1*

Great product - but AU bug - pls fix it!

### 5/5 — Works great and it is free!

*2021-02-11*

I have an iPad Air 2 and the TC Helicon Go Twin.

### 5/5 — So awesome

*2021-02-05*

This thing does it all and has it all.

### 5/5 — New favorite guitar app!

*2019-08-23*

Easiest to use? Check. Boatload of pedals and amps? Check. Astounding quality? Check. 

I’m blown away. I just got this app today and it’s already my new go-to. 

You need iOS-compatible TC-Helicon gear in order to unlock the full app. For whatever reason, this seems to have upset some people. In my opinion, this is great because it means unlocking everything in one fell swoop. 

If you’re like me and you’ve gotten deep into guitar apps and tried out a bunch of them, you know they’re pretty much out to nickel-and-dime you with in-app purchases. Well, here comes TC-Helicon with an entirely different approach: Buy one of their iOS-compatible products and you get the full app. It’s a breath of fresh air and I appreciate it so much. 

I could go on about how great the app is, but I’d rather get back to playing with it! Plus, the demos on TC-Helicon’s YouTube channel show it off pretty well. Suffice it to say, it’s just as good as they make it seem.

### 5/5 — Please do in app purchases

*2019-08-20*

I would consider buying some of these effects and amps if they allowed me to purchase them in the app. Unfortunately the place I live is far from the nearest music store and I don’t own and TC Helicon hardware that could be used to unlock them.

### 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.

### 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!

### 4/5 — Not Bad But.....

*2020-03-22*

Sounds great. The interface needed to unlock everything is cheaply built but it does work. Also be aware that as of this writing it still doesn’t work with ios 13. I used an older ios 12 ipad after wasting hours plugging, unplugging and finagling  on my new ipad.

### 4/5 — Great free app but should have iap to unlock

*2019-08-25*

Great app as far as what you get for free goes, and we definitely needed an auv3 guitar sim. I wish there was a way to unlock all the gear via in app purchase, I already have all the hardware I need and really don’t see buying something I know I won’t use other than to unlock this app. I would definitely pay to unlock the rest of the gear via iap though.
