Otherwise, for free (?) it’s pretty good. ### 4/5 — WARNING: THIS APP WILL SPOIL YOU! *2025-12-03, version 3.1.7* Update: Recent updates have made it so that there is very little contrast between the way an instrument knob appears when muted and when not muted when the instrument is not selected. The colors just do not contrast enough like they used to. This makes it difficult to see, at a glance, which tracks are muted or not. Very annoying. This is the best music sequencer of all time. Period. The included sounds may not be everyone's cup of tea but you will not find a better sequencing workflow anywhere else. You will have so much fun making songs, you will wonder why people think music is difficult. You will try (and fail) to replicate this fun in other music making apps and then come right back to this. There is nothing, NOTHING, more intuitive, more fluid, and more fun for jamming out and putting songs together via software. You've been warned! ### 5/5 — Sweet but… *2024-11-12, version 3.1.7* We need more sound packs! ### 3/5 — Dated app now *2024-11-07, version 3.1.7* Come on Korg, give us some new sounds and beats to play with. Great app but it’s showing its age. ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2024-10-31, version 3.1.7* This little app is so much fun ### 4/5 — Fun app but I need help *2024-10-15, version 3.1.7* If one of the developers could help me with something I would greatly appreciate it. Had a lot of fun playing on this app, but I got a new phone and I don’t know how to get the tracks from my iPhone X to my iPhone 13. I understand that I probably can get Ableton and do it that way, but is there anyway I can get it from phone to phone without downloading or buying Ableton? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Like other reviews have said it’s not incredibly intuitive but once you play around with the app for an hour or so it’s a lot of fun and a generated some great ideas. ### 5/5 — Kaossilator super *2024-10-14* Excellent, y a t il de nouvelles patterns a télécharger ? ### 5/5 — Please fix the freeze issue dev’s know about *2024-09-23, version 3.1.7* Edit: this is easy to make freeze. The devs have replicated the problem. But haven’t solved it yet with an update. Don’t they love a puzzle??? —— Old review: Very fun. Quantize options are great and I like how it works. Happy accidents abound when you tap and slide faster than the quantize setting, resulting in an interesting arp effect. Wish for scale options to differ per part (or at last wide and narrow options) but I get the idea of keeping everything global and it makes the loop mix function work quite well. Genius app. Have made a lot of danceable and fun music with this. ### 4/5 — Cannot buy the EDM pack *2024-07-25* Hope you developers solve the problem **Developer response:** Hello. If you are facing problems, could you please contact us at our support channel? https://support.korguser.net/hc/en-us/requests/new We are looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, KORG App Team ### 5/5 — Beautiful *2024-06-14, version 3.1.7* I’ve been playing around with this for ages now. Love it. Fun. Intuitive.. write some tunes and enjoy yourself. ### 5/5 — 很方便！希望能够有更多音色包! *2024-04-01* Nice! Waiting for more packs **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for your message. Please enjoy the Kaossilator. Best regards, KORG App Team ### 4/5 — Needs updating for 5 stars *2024-02-18, version 3.1.7* Some new sounds, beats and midi I/o (notes) to keep this fresh. It feels like 10 years waiting for an update ### 5/5 — Good app, but *2024-01-14* Good app, but crashes on ios 17.2 on iPhone 15 Pro Max. Using it since 2012. Fix please. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Gate arp please. Will change review. *2026-05-19, version 3.1.7* I own four versions of the hardware. A Kaossilator, a Kaossilator 2, a Kaoss pad, and the new NTS1 Kaoss. All of the Kaossilators have a gate Arp -except this app -which I have owned since day one and I have contacted Korg at least 15 times regarding this and have updated my review many times. Why can’t they add one? Why is it so hard? Make it an in app purchase and I will buy it. Don’t get me wrong- Kaossilators are all touch screen so it isn’t a huge leap for a touch device and they pulled it off well except for the arp. They even allowed the option of turning of the flashing lights as requested by many users they never listened when users asked for an arp. Gate arp! The 13 th year in a row I have requested.... please!! I did pay full price for this app when it came out, which was quite a bit to pay for an app that many years ago. Come on Korg don’t abandon this app… it still was in the top 200 so people are using it and I paid 20 bucks for this app in the mid 2000s. Actually, it was one of the most expensive apps back then and I own every single app you guys make +15 pieces of your hardware. Add some more sounds in an in app purchase and a gate Arp please ### 1/5 — Gate arp please. Will change review. *2026-01-28, version 3.1.7* I own four versions of the hardware.

Come on Korg don’t abandon this app… it’s only back in the top 100 because it is on sale and it still has not even had an update in three years!! it isn’t like you have to rewrite the entire app just put and arp in it!!! NOT COMPATIBLE WITH iOS 26!!!!!!!!! ### 1/5 — worst support & marketing i've ever seen!!! *2025-11-27, version 3.1.7* are there children making these appstore offerings? not even one musical app with a media demo!! are you people DAFT!! you all are NEVER going to sell a-n-y-t-h-i-n-g without a demo reel, a free trial, or SOMETHING!!!! do you all think people just going to risk & throw away $40/$50/$60 without HEARING something?... then you are dumber than the moron who posted these apps! ### 1/5 — 闪退 闪退 闪退 *2024-10-28* 赶快更新啊 **Developer response:** Hello.

Appears it hasn’t been updated in a while. But apple won’t show you this review… ### 1/5 — Kein Audiounit vernachlässigt, lieblos, keine Updates. *2024-01-14* Was soll man da schreiben, wenn man weiß, was ein Chaos Pad als Hardware ist. dieses ist wirklich eine sehr schlechte Kopie. Schön wäre ein Update. Ich würde gerne fünf Sterne vergeben. ### 1/5 — Kein Update mehr… *2023-12-13* Früher gekauft und seit langem kein Update mehr. Frechheit. ### 1/5 — Needs update *2023-02-14, version 3.1.7* Seconding the previous review, this used to be a lot of fun when I was a kid but is almost obsolete now. Crazy lag. In need of an update! I’ll bump this up when it gets one 🙏 ### 1/5 — Too old. *2022-10-07, version 3.1.7* Too old, no updates and expensive for what it offers. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The best app ever *2026-07-13, version 3.1.7* I’ve had this app for close to 10 years and It has solved so many problems for me. Sometimes I perform with just this app, sometimes I use it to handle my ADHD, and sometimes it’s just nice to be able to make some music spontaneously. ### 5/5 — Best music app ever *2026-07-03, version 3.1.7* It’s good and all But it gets no updates ### 5/5 — Tastes Great. Less Filling *2026-07-03, version 3.1.7* Huh. Wish I could record my voice into this. It’s still amazing without my voice. ### 5/5 — Une mise à jour pour 2026 *2026-01-23* pouvez vous nous créer des nouveaux sons ou donner la possibilité de construire nos idées SVP **Developer response:** Hello.
