It has no integration with a password manager and doesn’t even support copy paste so you have to manually type your password all the time. Absolutely awful. ### 2/5 — Crashes with new update *2022-11-29* Crashes ### 4/5 — Assigning parameters to the H9’S X, Y, and Z switches *2022-02-03* I have a problem with the control app. Assigning parameters to the H9’S X, Y, and Z switches works on my IPad but not on the IPhone 13. On the IPhone the app crashes if i double click on its rotary knob. ### 3/5 — Semi update but info is illegible *2021-09-03* Slight update in making the UI seem a bit kore modern, but same functionality as previous versions (although I don’t remember the landscape view from the older version, and having all knobs on one screen is helpful). However, the info part for each algorithm is now in a tiny (!) font size that is unreadable on a phone (and still in Times New Roman, while the rest of the app is a sans serif). ### 3/5 — In desperate need of UI update *2021-08-01* Works fine but it’s 2021 and the UI is straight out of 2009. Pretty clunky & unintuitive. ### 3/5 — Deletes H9 control file from iPad *2021-06-22* App works ok but every time I use the app, it deletes the H9 Control folder where I have downloaded preset files when it starts. If I save something, I get a new H9 Control folder. ### 3/5 — con l’ultimo aggiornamento non funziona *2020-11-08, version 3.7.3* indispensabile per sfruttare al massimo le potenzialità dell’H9. buona l’interfaccia utente e profondo il grado di editing possibile, ma con l’ultimo aggiornamento non si avvia più l’app... ### 3/5 — Nice but import option don’t work on iPhone *2020-10-30* Very nice app, but unfortunately the Import feature doesn’t work on my iPhone (no problem with iPad and Mac). And preset management is not handy when switching device, could be really easier if it could be on an Eventide Cloud. ### 4/5 — Высаживает батарейку ((( и медленный *2020-10-29, version 3.7.2* Высаживает батарейку ((( и медленный ### 2/5 — Kills your battery *2020-10-02* Absolutely smashes your battery to bits on background activity. It brought my XR (with 95% batter capacity) to an unexpected shutdown within 2 hours. ### 3/5 — A must have, but *2020-09-03* If an alternative was available that let me just see the preset and modify/save it, I'd use it. Too many tabs and options flooding the GUI, which leads to errors and confusion in modifying and saving. Stop trying to be too clever. Needs a big dose of KISS redesign. ### 2/5 — Buggy! *2020-08-03* Constantly wants me to log in, when you do so a message pops up saying the sever is down! Not sure if i would trust it playing live! For now i will keep it USB only. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Se desconecta de la app *2025-11-16, version 4.0.5* La app de desconecta cuando estoy tocando en vivo, arréglenla por favor ### 1/5 — Used to work *2024-02-01* Now it doesn’t. Making my life miserable. Help! ### 1/5 — Abandonware *2023-11-22* A shame that this was for one never really written by people who knew how to write iOS applications, but much worse, was it hasn’t been updated since pre-iOS 7. The UI is really not adapted to the Dynamic Island, dynamic text, nor the Face ID devices (no affordance for the layout margins). Just make it open source and I’ll fix it. Better yet, hire me and I’ll make both your iOS and macOS software good. ### 1/5 — 后台耗电！ *2023-06-04* 后台一直在运行知道不，早上起来直接没电了关机了 ### 1/5 — Not working as it should, since ios 16.3 *2023-03-26* …and it’s a problem, because this app is absolutely necessary! Eventide! Do something! Please! ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-11-19* Absolute garbage. Eventide won’t let you connect until they get their greedy lil hands on your precious email address but then their registration process has glitches making so you cannot connect at all. Thanks for the quality products guys. ### 1/5 — Was ist mit Eventide los? *2021-09-08* Seit H9 ins spiel gebracht wurde immer und immer wieder heftigste Bugs auf allen möglichen Konstellationen, bluetooth, usb, midi, firmware updates die H9 unbrauchbar machen, downgraden ebenso unmöglich, support via email mehr als frech für ein bisl Echo für circa 1000Euronen, falsche Fehlermeldungen, falsche Initialisierungsreihenfolgen in Software fix eingebaut. Traurig, weil ohne H9 app ist die H9 stomp-box quasi reinste material Verschwendung. Schon das dritte gerät von Eventide das durch Software updates unreparierbar defekt ist. Netter Hinweis, ich kann ja einsenden und ohne Kostenvoranschlag Reparatur zahlen.. so traurig das sein mag als eventide fan, ich würde jedem abraten in Eventide hardware zu investieren derzeit. 2000€ in wind geschossen ist Warnung genug ### 1/5 — Wozu eine App die nicht läuft ? *2020-11-27* Eventide H9 Harmonizer-tolles Gerät, die H9-App für iOS funktioniert NICHT mit meinem iPhone XR und iOS 14.3. Keinen Stern dafür. ### 1/5 — Kills battery in an hour! *2020-10-10* After the last update, this app will drain your phone battery in only an hour, even if it’s not connected to your H9 device via Bluetooth. The “prevent power sleep” mode is disabled. ***PLEASE FIX THIS EVENTIDE!!*** ### 1/5 — You should fix this app 5 years ago ! *2020-05-21, version 3.7.2* Very slow interface, screens changes for 2 seconds, list of algorithms freezes every time!. How this app can be app for 500$ stompbox? I cannot believe that it's impossible to hire professional developers to make normal application for such big company like Eventide. I beg you to fix that problem, Eventide. I'm in love with H9, but i feel pure pain when i need to run this app! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great App For The H9 Max *2025-11-26* I own 5 H9 Max pedals and this app makes using them sooooo much easier than menu diving through the pedals themselves. My only complaint is that the interface can get kind of confusing when using more than one H9 pedal. ### 5/5 — Hi,I need a virtual plugin Eventide H9 Max for ipad and AKAI MPC X *2025-04-15, version 4.0.5* Hi,I need a virtual plugin Eventide H9 Max for ipad and AKAI MPC X with a Random button on the device that will select a random effect from all that are and randomly adjust the parameters of this selected effect to quickly find interesting random sounds, I will use it to process different sounds and as an effect for virtual synthesizers,Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great App For H9 Max *2023-12-12* I own 2 H9 Max pedals and this app makes using them a joy. ### 5/5 — Uso e recomendo!! *2023-11-18* H90 é vida !! ### 5/5 — The best *2021-10-07* You guys are the best, Felix Martín. ### 5/5 — ui好看多了 *2021-09-03* 很满意 ### 5/5 — H9 Pro quality effects pedal *2020-08-31* Eventide H9 is a high quality product in build, sound, and capabilities. This pedal is capable of having practically every peffect known. Each effect is cleaner than almost every dedecated pedal out there. It can be controlled from an iphone or ipad ( nice to not have to bend over all the time). I have 2, and was able to get rid of most of my other pedals. l would advise anyone considering investing in one or more to do a deep dive into what it does and how to configure it to meet your needs. ### 5/5 — Eventide é vanguarda *2020-08-17* Pensa em uma empresa que não tem miséria, você paga mas tem o melhor. Os sons já vem prontos, usei semente um h9 é um pedal de expressão no palco, com as trocas programadas em sequência, fenomenal o som. Não há no mercado pedal tão versátil, não é exagero falar que o h9 está no mínimo 10 anos à frente da concorrência ### 5/5 — H9 *2020-08-07* L’appli permet tout. Surtout sur tablette. Plusieurs H9 sur la même interface c’est top ! Eventide, c’est la vie 😍 ### 5/5 — Works great and I love it! I don’t see the appeal of certain features though. *2020-06-03* I’ve had the H9 for a few weeks now and couldn’t be happier. Everything in the app just works and it has a very good design. I don’t see the reason to add the tilt controls and stuff but I suppose, “why not?” I’m a fan of this product and this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
