### 5/5 — Lil Woodryc

*2026-08-24*

It’s like plugdata but with NAM will there ever be feature on irio where our own custom plug-ins can function as individual AUV3
 plug-ins that could say it apart from other Nam plug-ins

### 4/5 — The free bits are too limited to evaluate

*2026-08-17*

The free bits are too limited to evaluate. Couldn’t really tell if the pro was worth the investment.

### 5/5 — Great-googly-moogily!!! This app deserves all the stars.

*2026-08-16*

Best Guitar auv3 ever! This dev didn’t miss a beat. Everything I ever wanted in a iOS plug/standalone. This on an iPad + Aum or LoopyPro and it kills a Quad Cortex or any other hardware I’m aware of.

### 5/5 — An amazing modular suite of design

*2026-08-15*

The value on this app is just out of the charts — I have barely started playing with but WOAH!!!! 🤩

### 5/5 — Highly recommended

*2026-08-15*

Best new music app in the App Store!!! A no brainer for guitar players!!!

### 5/5 — It’s the one!

*2026-08-14*

I’ve been looking for an all in one multi fx on iOS for years. I wanted something that had a great UI for both iPhone and iPad, controls that were both simple and deep, flexible modulation and routing options, NAM and IR compatibility, auv3 (looking at you, BiasFX), a comprehensive set of fx (especially tremolo, delay and reverb), built in tuner, and (obviously) good, rich tones. This has proved a chimerical set of requirements, until now. Nothing has sounded as good as the chains I could build with dedicated, independent apps on a host. Irio has finally hit the mark. It’s so easy to build complex chains with its little wire-and-module system; I can map lfos and envelopes to practically anything without diving into a lot of complicated midi bindings. It sounds great, and it’s quick and easy to work with. Just fantastic.

### 5/5 — Flawless execution, unlimited possibilities!

*2026-08-12*

Amongst a sea of apps lately, irio pro on iOS is nothing short of incredible. If you are looking for power without the steep learning curve, this is it. The blend of effortless usability with deep, creative functionality is unmatched. This app unlocks workflows I didn't know were possible. A huge shoutout to the developer for not only creating this gem but also for being so incredibly responsive to feedback and dedicated to its growth. Keep up the phenomenal work—I'm rooting for your success!

### 5/5 — who needs an axe fx?

*2026-08-11*

seriously impressed. Super great UI, easy to use, but at the same time as complex as you could ever dream of! Best NAM software I’ve tried so far! Makes me question my fractal…

buffer size. Nothing else changed — thank you to the players who
reported this within days of launch.
