All Messed up on my device. Otherwise. Nice experience before. ### 3/5 — Layout is messed up on new M4 iPad AIR *2026-04-30, version 1.5.3* It looks fine on my new MacBook, but on my iPad the layout of the keys is jumbled, and the controls have no text. It’s a mess, and others are having the same issue. Please fix this. ### 3/5 — Broken IAP *2026-03-31, version 1.5.3* IAP was broken in iPadOs 26.4. Previously bought presets doesn't show as installed. Restore purchases command doesn't fix the problem. ### 3/5 — Wonderful Sound *2026-03-23, version 1.5.3* This is one of the best sounding synth emulators with great presets. The interface is not playing well with the latest iOS interface though ### 2/5 — Won’t display properly *2025-11-27, version 1.5.2* App worked well on older iPad but not on new iPad with updated os. Other mood apps displayed properly ### 5/5 — Отличный легендарный синтезатор за небольшие деньги *2025-11-17* Рекомендую однозначно ### 3/5 — iPad Pro M5 *2025-11-17, version 1.5.2* Grafica non funziona, purtroppo con il passaggio da iPad M1 a M5 con spiacevole sorpresa la grafica è tutta pasticciata, ed è impossibile usarlo… ho provato a disinstallarlo e a reinstallarlo ma niente sempre uguale, in rete non ho trovato nessuna soluzione, forse perché è troppo presto vista l’uscita di M5 da pochissimo… peccato ### 5/5 — Randomization *2025-11-16, version 1.5.2* Hi,The lack of randomization for synthesizers and effects is a limitation of hardware devices. There is no need to limit the capabilities of software instruments. Please implement randomization on all instruments to increase their capabilities.Thanks! ### 4/5 — ME ENCANTA *2025-11-09, version 1.5.2* La sigo usando en este 2025, y es genial esta aplicación y mas porque juega con Logic Pro ### 1/5 — Broken compatibility on iPad Pro m5 *2025-10-31, version 1.5.2* This app does not work on my iPad Pro m5 13” iOS 26.0.1 - the screen is mostly black and glitched and can’t see any of the keys or anything, but the sound plays. This is the 2nd time I’ve had compatibility issues with this app on apple devices and the last time took about 6 months to get patched, though it was eventually. Hopefully this one will be fixed soon, as when it’s working it sounds very good. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on ipad air 2026 *2026-06-28, version 1.5.4* Garbled display makes it unusable on my 2026 ipad air. Reported this issue to them and the best they came up with was to disable visual elements of the iPad. I'm not spending money on a new ipad to then downgrade it's capabilities thanks. Sort this out. -------- Update June 26: Finally the display issue is sorted out, about time. Problems now are: It's almost impossible to exit the app. It doesn't respond to an upward swipe like all other apps do. It will not import 3rd party sound banks. Click import and nothing happens. ### 1/5 — Nice synth, dismal customer service *2026-06-07, version 1.5.3* I own this synth, as well as all the extension packs. I recently purchased a new iPad. When I tried to play the Model D app on it for the first time I discovered that the graphics were horribly distorted, making it impossible to play. After trouble shooting I reached out to Moog for help. They basically told me I was SOL, and that they were unable to do anything to help me. The communication was some of the most offensively inhuman AI garbage I’ve ever received. I am extremely disappointed in the way Moog handled this situation. Shame on you. ### 1/5 — GUI bug makes it unusable on new M4 iPad Air *2026-06-04, version 1.5.3* Using the latest iOS on a new iPad Air M4 the GUI appears all scrambled. I contacted Moog and they are aware of it but will do nothing about it, apart from saying that ‘it might be addressed in a future update but we can't give a time scale’, which is sloppy and unprofessional. NB, this is not a problem with an ancient iPad and system, this is happening on one of the latest models with the latest system. ### 1/5 — Update this thing *2026-06-02, version 1.5.3* Just update already. The clones work better. Then Moog? no wrapper just update! ### 1/5 — User interface messed up *2026-05-12, version 1.5.3* On iPad m4 the UI is unusable. Please fix ### 1/5 — Doesn't work on ipad air 2026 *2026-05-06, version 1.5.3* Garbled display makes it unusable on my 2026 ipad air. Reported this issue to them and the best they came up with was to disable visual elements of the iPad. I'm not spending money on a new ipad to then downgrade it's capabilities thanks. Sort this out. ### 1/5 — Not working with iPad Air M4 26.42 *2026-04-29, version 1.5.3* The app screen is scrambled in standalone mode, using new iPad Air M4. I assume the app needs a software update fix. Will be requesting a refund. ### 1/5 — Can’t swipe to quit *2026-04-25, version 1.5.3* Great sound. This and the Model 15 cannot swipe out of the app — the user gets locked in and has to hack a way out through settings. ### 1/5 — UI bug on IOS 26 iPad Air 2026 m4 standalone *2026-04-12, version 1.5.3* Great app, but UI doesn’t display , just a glitchy mess on my iPad Air m4, displays fine on my iPad m1 As a au3 it displays ok ### 1/5 — All purchases lost with IOS 26.4 *2026-04-04, version 1.5.3* I tried to contact support without success. After installing IOS 26.4 on iPad I can no longer restore purchases of any Moog application and in particular on Model D. Simply when I click on restore nothing happens. Can you fix it as soon as possible? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great sounds *2026-06-18, version 1.5.4* Fantastic sounds and with an amazing appegiator effect, really enjoying playing with this.

Love it ### 5/5 — Mr *2026-04-15, version 1.5.3* For a fraction of the price of the original Model D, it opens the door to endless creativity and, more importantly, to saving and recalling each patch for use. ### 5/5 — Excellnet *2026-04-04, version 1.5.3* Very impressive piece of software, love it. ### 5/5 — Great on the go kit *2026-03-07, version 1.5.3* l love how this sounds deep rich and powerfull just like the real thing :) ### 5/5 — Classic sounds *2026-02-21, version 1.5.3* Not sure how they make it sound so good but you want this one. Fun, inspiring, & a MOOG!! Sound so phat and juicy you want these sound waves. Check out their pedal apps too. Wonderful price for what they offer. So many potential sounds. ### 5/5 — Idm *2026-02-20, version 1.5.3* Re joya! ### 5/5 — All moog always *2026-02-16, version 1.5.3* The classic from moog and it sounds better than most new synths and well just go watch Sun Ra if you need inspiration ### 5/5 — El mejor *2026-01-01, version 1.5.3* La aplicación funciona perfectamente bien en el ipad 6 la mejor aplicación siempre quise obtenerla y valio por mucho la pena agradasco a los creadores de moog por crear esta aplicacion --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
