Media assistant is not such an app, far from it in fact. It may be that to some Media Assistant is easy to overlook - “What does it actually do?” You may ask. Well, read the description, watch videos by all means, but all I have to say is if you have any involvement with samples this app is an absolute MUST. There is nothing like it on iOS-It is without doubt essential. ### 1/5 — Scam app *2025-01-01* Don’t waste your money. This so called web based auv3 that doesn’t allow recordings to pass through is a scam and should be removed. $12.99 for what? Fix it or remove it! ### 5/5 — Better media/ au player *2024-08-12* Needs previous / next button and autoplay to play whole folder. ### 5/5 — Use it every day - Great app *2024-03-13* I’ve been using the app for a few months and it’s become one of my most used apps. The feature that I use the most is the Wi-Fi Drive to copy files between iPad and PC. Super fast and easy. I also use it for music editing and creation - it can do things that no other apps I have can do, and I have a lot. For example playing music from a website and feeding it into a DAW like Cubasis or AUv3 host directly like AUM. And the other features are really interesting such as the read aloud. It just got a vocal removal/extraction feature added and that works great. Overall a great app with just the included features but the IAP’s are very useful too. The Audio Tagger is pretty nice useful too. There’s too many things to cover in a short review. I recommend that you watch the videos on the “Media Assistant iOS” YouTube channel by the developer and see what features you need first, and start with one or two, and see how they suit you and go from there. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review ! For the quick preview audio, remember you can use AU Player for high performance and gapless loop. (to active it, please navigate to AAMenu->Setting->Default preview player) ### 5/5 — AudioShare replacement? *2024-01-31* Wow! I downloaded this app a couple of months ago (since it was free), but didn’t dig into it. Today, I watched the SoundForMore YouTube tutorial about the tagging feature and immediately thought “perhaps this is a replacement for AudioShare” which I have been waiting ages to see any updates. So now, I have bought all the IAPs and will most likely give up on AudioShare. This is a beast! Thank you!!! **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that you found the tagging feature helpful. If you have any questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-01-29* Useful in so many ways. Consolidates features that previously required multiple apps. Fairly priced as well. Get it! **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback! We're glad to hear that you find the app useful. We've worked hard to ensure that it's fairly priced and accessible to all users. We appreciate your support! ### 5/5 — Xmas indeed *2023-12-27* The latest update is certainly worthy of being dropped on Christmas. Tagging and time stretching are exactly what I needed. Big up! **Developer response:** Thank you for your kind words and support! We appreciate your feedback. If there's anything more you'd like to see or any suggestions you have, please feel free to let us know. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! ### 5/5 — Great utility!!! *2023-12-10* This app is so useful…easy to use…and the developer is always adding features. This has replaced AudioShare for me. **Developer response:** Absolutely thrilled to hear that you find our app useful and user-friendly! Your support means a lot to us. ### 5/5 — Essential app *2023-10-28, version 1.1.6* With useful functionality arriving at a rapid pace, Media Assistant is fast becoming an essential app for IOS music makers. Now including metadata editing. Well worth buying the IAPs. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2023-10-23, version 1.1.4* Brilliant thanks and a really innovative app. Please add ability to turn off looping in the player. Also haven’t been able to enable the iAA folder and file sharing yet. Look forward to how this app develops. ## Frequently asked questions about Media Assistant ### What are the main features of Media Assistant?
