Use Audiobus to route audio to and from apps that need IAA.

User reviews

I loved this app, but it’s dying

With each subsequent iOS update, the app loses functionality. Apparently nobody is home taking care of it any longer. I feel cheated. I would like to still be able to sample and edit.

Crashing on Opening

I used to Love this App. But right now it Crashes Every Time I try to Open it! Please update it so it opens in the newer iOS Versions.

Not such a good app.

It seems to crash a lot in AUM and it doesn’t work in Audiobus 3 so a bit of a disappointment.

Money down the drain

Still crashes on launch after the 3-9-21 update.
