### 2/5 — Almost useless app

*2025-09-12*

can’t even make bird noises

### 2/5 — Full version still displays full-page ads each time a new sound is chosen

*2024-11-27*

Disappointed

### 2/5 — Don't! don't!

*2024-04-21*

Totally unusable product! you'd be repenting your decision later after clicking the purchase button. hope it'd save somebody, and don't have to go through this nightmare of an app.

Worthless waste of an app from a very genius developer.

I wish they Could’ve Learned from Audiothing, Bram Bos, OSC, 4pockets, Bleass, these giants.

It’ll always be a wastage of an app, save your bucks!

### 2/5 — Was great until today’s update.

*2023-11-01*

I paid for the full unlock for this app a couple years ago however even after that, the new update today now has the front page of it inundated with ads that instantly knew my address because the dev also implemented a ton of trackers in this newest update. Charging to unlock a pro version of an app only to turn around and make an update that gives you ads anyway is not good business practice. Deleting it now. 

The sounds are decent but not worth it now for the ads and trackers you get on your device. Also looks like the pro price went from $3.99 to $19.99. Up to you to decide if it’s worth it.

### 3/5 — Just Doesnt Work

*2023-10-20*

The App crashes immediately. Totally unusable. Gave a three stars bc it looks promising and my hope is for an update.

### 1/5 — midi入力時の発音タイミングに難あり

*2021-08-25*

CPU パワーを浪費しない安価なプレイバックサンプラーを探していたところ、セール情報で見つけてゲット。音色数が膨大でハッキリ目のものが多いのは良かったのだが、AUMで他のアプリと同期させると、明らかに発音が遅れて使い物にならなかった。購入前にライト版を試すべきだったと反省。

### 1/5 — Basura

*2020-12-22*

Es una basura NO lo compren.

### 4/5 — Gr8 but

*2020-09-22*

This will be 5 star when it will add a reset button also when fixed the sound crash what happens sometimes and i have to close the app and reopen to get sound thanks

### 1/5 — Probably the most unplayable piano module on iOS

*2020-07-25, version 3.0.0*

I have a fairly new iPad Air. This app has a long delay between external midi being triggered and sound being produced.
When playing any sound module there will be some time delay between key press and sound being produced. Anything over 10 milliseconds becomes noticeable. I have measured the delay on this app to be around 125 milliseconds, or one 16th note at 120bpm.
Consequently, it is impossible to use this app for real-time keyboard playing. Given this app describes itself as a piano keyboard app, this delay is inexcusable.
The piano tones are not particularly good. The piano sounds,  specifically, sound like single velocity samples, so the result is not going to be remotely authentic.
There are some nice pad sounds, which are useable because the delay for pads is less important, but all sounds that have a fast attack, piano, organ, guitar, etc, suffer in playability because of the delay.
There are ways around the issue; resampling or non-realtime recording. But of all the synths and sound module apps in my collection, of which there are many, this is the only one which can’t be played in real time.

### 2/5 — So much potential- WASTED

*2019-10-05*

Bro, please fix the app. Charge. Some IAP if you need. We’re a generous sort for the devs who actually try. Ty

### 2/5 — The sounds are on the better side of...

*2019-07-27*

Decent! The sounds are the potential of this app but the controls make it extremely unintuitive. One has to go to the far ends of creativity to use this app...such as having a way to record the sounds a then creating a software instrument in another app using the sounds. That process would be too tedious. This app could be so much better and really opened up with improved controls. For example, add midi in for better keyboard control of the sounds. Add a settings button that offers playability options such as turning on background audio so that the app can play in the background. These options would easily take the app from low to high ratings.

### 1/5 — Drivel

*2024-07-22, version 3.5.4*

There’s a half decent little unit here but ads pop up making it unplayable. What was the point?

### 1/5 — Don't! don't! Lost the respect and admiration for Apple.

*2024-05-21*

Totally unusable product! you'd be repenting your decision later after clicking the purchase button. hope it'd save somebody, and don't have to go through this nightmare of an app. Worthless waste of an app from a very genius developer.

What are you try to become apple, The most materialistic lustful corporation, Totally ravaged the dream Steve Jobsstarted Apple with.

### 1/5 — Don’t do it if they pay you

*2024-03-22*

Download and Delete
App designed to get your data and push product.
Should be illegal

### 1/5 — Don't! don't!

### 1/5 — iDousyn Lite works.......this one does not

*2023-10-21*

I already had the iDousyn Lite in my iPad Pro with iOS 16 and it works without any issue. This one does not. I tried deleting  and reinstalling with the same results. I rebooted the iPad.....same thing, it does not work. Fix it !

### 1/5 — Disaster

*2023-09-18*

This app is pure sheer disaster, no refunds, extremely buggy, doesn’t open by the way, very poor support from devs!

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this dear fellow artists

*2023-08-31*

If you’re paying for this then my condolences for you,
Not for a single time I make this app open. 

Even though I bought it, I haven’t been able to see its interface yet!

Such irony!

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this! Such an undignified developer

*2023-08-29*

Edited- absolutely unprofessional and surely one of the most unsupportive dev I’ve ever come across.

I do not even have had the chance to see the interface of this App. Ohh, they don’t refund, even if you buy it and after 30 mins got to know that this app doesn’t even open, and decided to opt for a refund. Don’t, they do not follow slightest kind of standard of decency a developer should , remember This is apple AppStore, this is not Androids flawed primordial design of an AppStore.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy this! The app never once opened after installing!

### 1/5 — Even discounted not worth it.

*2023-03-28*

Not worth $1.99. Sure would have felt burnt if I’d spent the $7.99.

### 5/5 — Oh wow, you actually make this app only for iOS 26 users only a music app tons of features

*2026-08-17*

This is actually insane. Most people still use I iOS 18 or stuck on iOS 15 you’re going way beyond that I don’t mind that but that’s kind of insane for an app like this seriously calling in for this app but I would rather use this music apps watch out people this app is gonna get music spicy

### 5/5 — Super easy to use

*2024-04-03*

Very low CPU usage
Sounds great
Thank you Jorge Lozada!

### 5/5 — iDousyn review

*2023-03-19*

Great piano and strings app with effects. It will take a few hours to learn the app though.

### 5/5 — Don’t get the bad reviews

*2020-03-19*

I enjoy the sound, look , and features of the app. Could use Audiobus and auv3 but it has multiple formats you can export your recorded material to so not entirely necessary if you have a good app to export to and edit further if desired.

### 5/5 — Nope.

*2011-08-06*

A lot of ideas, none executed well, crammed into a sloppy interface that's nearly too dark to see.

The ambition of the dev is clear, and if the elements on display in the initial version get worked up into something more usable in future updates this app could quickly become something fun to play with.  In the meanwhile, there are too many synth apps in the app store already doing what this only hints at.

### 4/5 — Jetzt mit AuV3 Anbindung

*2025-11-26*

Danke

### 4/5 — Nice little synth

*2025-09-24, version 3.8.0*

Not the best but definitely not the worst. It has some good clean sounds and is simple to use. I don’t understand the negative reviews.

### 4/5 — コンプ臭さが持ち味のサウンド

*2024-01-23*

かなり強めのコンプがデフォルトで掛けられています。嫌な人はCompressorの項目でスレッショルドを0dBに戻してやればコンプ臭さは消えますが、代わりにただ使えないサウンドになるだけかも。なのでこのコンプ臭さが好きか嫌いかで使い所があるか否かが分かれるでしょう。パッキパキのクリーンなギターサウンドなんかは結構使い所はあると思います。というかギタリストが聴いて「うん、ギターの音だわ」と納得の音が出ます。更に後ろにリアンプ系のアンプシミュなんかを挿してやると「マジか」ってくらいギターな音になります。またCubasis 3等でInter-App Audio（Instruments）として普通に使えますが、ご存知の方も多いと思いますがInter-App Audio自体がバグの巣窟のような規格なので、早々にフリーズしておくのが無難かな、と。またiDousyn は1チャンネルと2チャンネルにそれぞれ音色を設定して混ぜて使うのですが（最初は両方ともピアノになっています）自分はレイヤーせずに2チャンネルのレベルを0にして、1チャンネルだけのシングルで使っています。まあ本当は評価は星3なんですけど、でも存在感のある音を出してくれる掛け替えのないアプリなので星4にしておきます。

### 4/5 — しっかりした音が出るアプリ

*2023-11-18*

良いアプリですが、最近､広告が出てくる。チョットウザいです。

### 4/5 — iDousyn review vs VOGEL CMI

*2021-06-15, version 3.0.0*

I got this as a substitute to the Vogel CMI app that’s way overpriced, it’s getting better, not quite there but I can see it blowing away the older app.  Looking to see this working smoothly with my midi controller, AUV3 etc…
