However there is one massive flaw - it drains battery significantly when running in the background. This has happened on both iPhone and iPad. Please fix ASAP! **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! You really can’t please everyone, though. Some users asked for background audio because they wanted to keep playing while switching between apps, so we added that feature. Naturally, enabling background audio means the app continues processing sound (even subtle noise layers), which can drain battery if left running. We’ll look into possible optimizations, but please keep in mind that negative reviews make it harder for small devs to stay motivated and improve the product. If you’d like to report issues or suggest features, it’s always best to open a support ticket or chat with us directly on Discord, we’re very active there and happy to help! ### 3/5 — Snaps Crackles and Pops *2026-04-28* July nails the Juno-60 tone, especially PWM and chorus, but the amp and filter envelopes on iOS retrigger too abruptly. Fast attacks or short releases cause audible clicks, especially in arpeggios. Adding a small attack ramp or voice smoothing option would solve it. Fantastic sound overall — just needs that polish to feel truly ‘hardware smooth. ### 3/5 — Snaps Crackles and Pops *2025-10-21* June nails the Juno-60 tone, especially PWM and chorus, but the amp and filter envelopes on iOS retrigger too abruptly.

Fantastic sound overall — just needs that polish to feel truly ‘hardware smooth. ### 4/5 — Eigentlich Top... *2026-01-30* ...aber mir persönlich fehlt Midi-Mapping, oder habe ich die Option Übersehen? ### 4/5 — Nice sounding *2025-11-12* Just a couple of usability issues which if they could be addressed would make this perfect as it is a very nice synth. I find the background markers for the sliders are so similar in colour to the handles that it is very hard to see the settings. I checked the TAL version and they have made the markings a darker gray which makes it more obvious. The sliders immediately jump to touch point which is not desirable for making small adjustments. It would be good to have an option to have them just move from their relative position. Thanks ### 5/5 — Au delà de la simple émulation *2026-01-20* June est un synthé très agréable à utiliser. Les principales commandes sont visibles à l'écran dans avoir à naviguer dans divers sous-écrans. Le son est très bon. On est dans l'analogique "classique". L'ajout de différentes fonctionnalités et 4 effets non présents sur le synthé Roland dont il s'inspire le rendent très polyvalent. ### 5/5 — Finally! *2026-01-13* I bought a Juno 106 when they first came out in 1984. I thought it was going to be a great upgrade from my band mate’s Juno 60. While the 106 did excel at lead lines I soon realized the 60 had a way fatter sound even without turning on the 60’s superior chorus. I also found the lack of the arpeggiator on the 106 disheartening. Not only do I have faithful recreation, I’m running 10 Juno 60s in AUM right now with a 41% CPU load. Brilliant. One can dream and sometimes dreams come true. Finally! ### 5/5 — Must have! *2025-11-07* Классика! Как по мне - это одно из немногих приложений этого разработчика, которое действительно надо иметь в своей коллекции. Тем более пока интро-прайс, который вот-вот закончится. Звучание очень близкое к оригиналу. ### 5/5 — Bravo *2025-10-14* It does the shine on you crazy diamond intro….well, very well. To me it sounds and feels spot on to the lead synth in the intro. But, what would I know, I’m just a guitar player lol ### 5/5 — Top emulation *2025-10-12* best in ios so far ## Most praised reviews (1 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is it! Roland Juno 60 Glorious Sound Finally Here! *2025-10-12* Finally, the search is over! That special tone of the 80s is here! Enough said. Run, don’t walk! Go get that iTunes credit and take yourself back to the future! Yes, the sound of the 80s was the future! I just got this gorgeous beast of a Synth and just can’t stop playing it. The effects are spot on, the tone of the Synth, the User Interface is so inviting! AudioThing has scored a home-run and sent it over the top with this beautiful Synth! My one request: Please allow the Preset selection screen to remain open while one selects presets. Since the synth will be connected to a midi controller it is imperative to have the option to lock the preset screen open. An option in settings would be awesome! Just in case one inadvertently taps outside the preset screen while performing live to prevent it from closing. For those of us who play live Worship at Church, preset switching ability on the fly is a must in a live situation especially when the time comes to perform a lead! Timing is crucial. Also, a Favorites option would be handy but not as mandatory. Overall, I personally give June Synth a 10 stars score! Deserves a 10 plus! Hopefully Mr. Developer gives it that final touch for live on stage use! I highly recommend this Synth!
