### 5/5 — Best sounding minimoog,but Filter FM flawed

*2026-07-23*

Update: the developer just doesn’t care about supporting this product. He ignored my bug report.
Best sounding minimoog on iOS , low cpu usage. Punchy & warm sound. The only issue Filter FM does not work properly at audio rates (at range 4’, 2’).

### 5/5 — Excellent symphonic sound quality

*2026-07-05*

Like all apeSoft apps, this synthesizer is beautifully functional and sound qualities and every nuance possible there-in crafted to Perfection...Love this developer's sound crafting toolkits.

### 3/5 — Mood intercepts GB audio output file

*2026-03-08*

No idea if this app is any good, only here because since iPadOS 26, when I manage to output (share) a stereo WAV file from my GarageBand endeavours, and try to access it using Apple’s ‘Files’ app, I am thrown into this app.  I have emailed the developer, cannot find a reply, some weeks later in March 2026.  My output WAV file, sits in the GarageBand ‘transfer files’ folder.  Is there a reason why Mood takes all output residing here, as it’s own?  How do I stop Mood popping up when I am in ‘Files’ and trying to play a WAV file?  Is there a workaround?  Thank you for any assistance, no other apps seem to do this.

### 5/5 — Best sounding minimoog on iOS

*2025-12-29, version 1.9.2*

Best sounding minimoog on iOS, better than Moog’s own app.  A more pleasing warm tone to the ear and overall better for bass as it has a 0 delay filter. 
Only negative for me is that midi cc learn/control is unavailable in the auv3.  The interface of the auv3 isn’t the best, but it is ok to work with.

### 5/5 — My main synth

*2024-07-15*

Despite having almost all the synth apps available on the AppStore, I just can’t help but keep coming back to this one anytime I’m starting an AUM project.  Best sounds to my ear - easy and light.

### 2/5 — Sounds great BUT

*2024-01-06*

I’m really disappointed with the AUV3. I really don’t want any keyboard on the screen, I’m using a midi controller keyboard. I want just knobs etc

### 3/5 — Good sound, cool features, but some UI drawbacks.

*2023-06-13*

Good sounding synth with some weird UI design decisions.
No Undo/Redo, no Favorites in presets, unnecessary pop-up menu when you load preset.
Weird layout in AU version where 80% is keyboard but when you go to ARP editing mode there is no keyboard at all.
99% of presets are quite bad and I can get why, not fun workflow obviously.

### 3/5 — 🚨🆘Mise à jour 2023 nécessaire s’il vous plaît 🆘🚨

*2023-05-18*

Mise à jour s’il vous plaît, on entend plus le son de certaine note enregistrer su BeatMaker3, impossible de la re-joué l’appli mute la note pendant le play, on entend la note quand on joue sur la touche mais pas à écoute de l’enregistrement la note apparaît bien sur la Timelime une mise jour est nécessaire !! Merci 🙏

### 3/5 — AUV3 interface ruins it

*2023-04-19*

I will say that it sounds great, but there are lots of apps that sound great. I can’t get over not being able to hide the keyboard in AUV3 mode. I don’t use an on screen keyboard. Ever. I don’t mind the tabs for different parameters, but I can’t get over the keyboard always cluttering up the screen. 

It works great with my EWI and I wanted to love it, but I keep bouncing off of it.

### 5/5 — 3 years later and still in love

*2022-06-19*

Apesoft makes very important sound/music making apps, unlike any others. We need Apesoft to give us apps that help get away from the everyday synth monotony.
Great app. Thanks.
