It crashes upon initial download completion. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work properly *2026-01-09* After using the app once or twice on iOS mobile it refuses to load and ask you to contact manufacturer or an update complete waste of my money ### 1/5 — Wont download *2025-12-29, version 1.6* Wont fully download gets all the way the end and that’s it wont open in any daw or anything can we figure out what the problem is here please and thank u ### 1/5 — Don’t purchase *2025-12-15* I purchased and only got a smidge of what I purchased. They have an automatic response on email and social media so either don’t care or don’t check emails social media and etc. t They have everything running properly to take your money but not keep server up and running so u can play with what you purchased. At this point I just want money back because if you can’t support your customers that are paying you then I cannot support you. Don’t matter how good your product is , which I don’t know because everything is all janky. Hopefully this will get their attention before I have to start posting everywhere related to music. Come on guys fix the problem. Not cool to just take people’s money and not even have a working server or product ### 3/5 — It’s Great, But… *2025-12-04* I really like this. This is an awesome app, and the sounds are great too. But there is only ONE problem. This is usable for GarageBand, right? Well, every time I open this in GarageBand, it doesn’t work. I keep doing it and doing it, but it keeps telling me to either reload or disable. So if you could fix this problem, that would be great. This is still a great app and it has quite the potential. :) ### 1/5 — Too unstable *2025-11-09, version 1.6* Wanted to like this app after seeing a recent demo. Good point, it installed fine. However, on opening it goes straight into the download sounds screen with no options. Every time the download reaches 99.9%, it crashes, and no amount of retries works. Deleted! ### 1/5 — Poor app *2025-09-06, version 1.5.9* I bought this in good faith and it keeps giving me log in issue saying I’m using wrong password I know my password The help,desk takes days to reply when you ask for support I want a refund please as the produce is faulty ??? ### 1/5 — Unstable in Logic Pro *2025-08-04, version 1.5.9* Keeps crashing. First inside host application, and now in stand alone mode. Don’t waste your time . ### 2/5 — Does not work on my m1 iPad Air *2025-05-31, version 1.5.9* Like the title says …..it doesn’t…I log in and it doesn’t pass log in ## Frequently asked questions about OCTANE Mobile ### What is OCTANE Mobile?
