The instructions are no good. The dial controls are impossible to use. ### 1/5 — Rubish *2013-02-28* Underdevelopped app. Nothing works properly. The sound is allmost inaudible. Impossible to controle anything. Stay away. ### 1/5 — I have no idea how it is supposed to work *2013-02-24* Please read the title. ### 1/5 — nils *2012-12-18* This is an awful app. No way to record on it. Waste of money. The developer should be ashamed of this product ### 3/5 — Like the old version more *2015-09-16* I don't understand why the dimetradon is completely different from previous versions. The old version you put out way more interesting sound than this version. And it was awesome on a drum beat. This one feels like a step backward. The unpredictable nature is what made it great in previous versions of the app. That's gone now. Please bring that back. It was the most interesting and unique feature of the app. And my drum beats need it ### 4/5 — Good, but... *2019-05-04* Where is the AUV3 option? This is an amazing app. Please upgrade it! ### 4/5 — Very cool and well worth the money *2013-02-23* Simple enough to use with some great real time effects for crushing. The audiobus support is great to see! I'm still trying to unlock all this apps secrets. ### 5/5 — Oh man. If only you knew what this could do. *2022-07-01* Nevertheless it does not have auv3 support which remains its major flaw. Other than that it is nuts. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-04-08* Great app, I just wish the UI had an option to increase contrast a bit. It is hard to see controls in certain lighting conditions. Other than that it’s a 5 star app. ### 5/5 — Unique *2016-08-17* I love Erik Sigth a.k.a. Humbletunes apps. Imaginative, inexpensive, innovative and like nothing else on iOS. Buy them all. ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — DAMAGE your AUDIO CHIP! (Aka still One of a Kind! *2014-06-16* Having perused some other reviews of Nils and being in an app review mood I thought I'd chime in... Hey guy who almost damaged your audio chip: push it into the red sometimes! Irritate the neighbors! Put some Celtic Frost on when your girl(or boy) friend is expecting the usual Kenny G or Sade selection! Go eat some SPICY Indian cuisine! Ha just f-ing with you but NILS = good fun for my (already battered) BCM4334. (?! sound chip) Nils is awesome if you, like me, enjoy electronic music. And I don't mean Jan Jarre (although he is undoubtedly a legend). I mean industrial, drum and bass, glitch, noise, Hard Leaders, etc... This hidden gem is truly cool and I find myself throwing it into the middle Audiobus slot OFTEN! I hope there are more sweet apps on the drawing board for this inspirational developer! ### 5/5 — So great and i love you *2014-02-24* Buy this app And Use your irig or somethin that able to use your instruments And play You are gonna love this app ### 5/5 — Quality app *2014-01-16* Some very interesting sounds can be made with this app if you spend a little time trying different settings. Lots of updates as well. ### 5/5 — Dirty fun *2014-01-14* On the surface, a delay and bit crusher, but way way more. Really opens up a piece to new possibilities. An essential effect for any musician's audiobus chain, especially for the price. Developer also very responsive and helpful. ### 5/5 — Nils. *2013-03-06* Cette appli fonctionne parfaitement.concept particulier,mais,super interessant.merci. ### 5/5 — Elegantly destructive *2012-12-28* This app is a beautifully minimalistic example of the potential of touchscreen devices in musical creation. There are limitless possibilities with this app, without an overwhelming sense of clutter that many programs on all platforms inspire in many users. Well done sir. ### 5/5 — Another win *2012-12-05* I've been using shapesynth, sinusoid and kinetic for some time now. Nils does not disappoint. Nils makes great distortion, pitch shifts and echoes. ACP works and overall Nils is as described. Needs a few tweaks but overall it's great. Loop length seems to come out strangely and the play, stop, record and reset loop point buttons end up getting hit constantly while moving along the playback speed bar. It's by no means a problem though. The interface is built for experimentalism. Lowfi and glitch producers should get nils, it rocks. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
