Please add this in an update please, and you’ll have perfection! 4 out of 5 stars Aftertouch would make it 5 out of 5 ### 5/5 — Nice Update *2025-01-28, version 2.5.5* Used this app many a night when I got my iPads years back I use several I pads with Link this would help make Poison a great lead instrument with other apps as backup instrumentation with BPM Key and timing Thank You it looks so vibrant Musicmaninsc ### 5/5 — Incredible sounding & very fun to play! *2025-01-20, version 2.5.4* What a wonderful app for musicians and experimental people. So much fun that just barely fits into that space between your ears, wow! ### 5/5 — In 2025… *2025-01-15, version 2.5.4* …still one of the best iOS synths available! FIVE STARS EASY! ### 5/5 — It’s gonna be so cool *2024-12-28, version 2.5.4* It can be used as my audio unit extinction in GarageBand ### 3/5 — Needs to be updated to iOS 18.1.1. *2024-12-05, version 2.5.4* Sound problems on iPhone SE. ### 5/5 — Great *2024-11-05, version 2.5.4* Very nice synth ### 5/5 — SUPER SYNTHESIZER *2024-10-20* Arbeite seit 2 J. Mit dem I Pad pro 12 und Cubasis 3 ,ist das beste am I Pad und stabil.lg weiter so Mik Mike. ### 4/5 — Such a beautiful synth…but *2024-02-03* So close to 5 stars. There’s no doubt that this is an epic synth with lots of extremely useable presets. But,it’s the arpeggiator that lets it down. I would gladly pay double if it had an editable arp that really highlighted its abilities. ### 5/5 — Amazing I use this BrucesPlanet *2024-01-02* Totally the best Synth I’ve used in a long time. Fantastic to play live with my Keytar. #Bruce ### 5/5 — Una Verdadera Bestia *2023-12-31, version 2.5.4* Ese look entre Juno y JX3P nos depara un Pepinazo con capacidades tremendamente amplias. Es tan sencillo como pasear por los presets para encontrar los sonidos de todos los hits de la electrónica de nuestras vidas. Lo voy a usar en todos los temas, sin duda. NECESARIO. ### 5/5 — Ottimo. *2023-12-17, version 2.5.4* Ottimo Synth. Si riesce a fare praticamente di tutto, perfino cori. Ottimo veramente!!! Nei miei desideri sarebbe bello un Poison-202 II, magari con l’aggiunta di un osc con Wavesamples e più modulazioni. Purtroppo devo segnalare che attualmente, Dicembre 2023, non si riesce a fare share di un banco di suoni tramite email, non viene caricato l’allegato. Forse è un problema con iOS 17.2. Se si può correggere,grazie. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2023-03-23* Thank you for this amazing app. Kindly make a VST version for DAW 🙏❤️. ### 5/5 — Excellent Synth *2023-02-13, version 2.5.4* This thing sounds great - nice layout. It works like a great analog synthesizer. I use it a lot. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Great app, light on resources *2022-08-28, version 2.5.4* This is probably my most-used plug-in. It's very capable and stable, and it's not a resource hog like some other synths on the app store. Useful for just about any type of electronic music. ### 5/5 — good *2022-06-22, version 2.5.4* lol ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — so much for 10 dollars *2025-11-13, version 2.5.6* it only allows audio waves to be made, why is there no option to create through midi ### 1/5 — Would be nice without crashes *2024-02-17, version 2.5.4* Keeps crashing in AUM ### 1/5 — PLEASE FIX!! *2020-11-12, version 2.5.1* There’s been a bug ever since iOS 14 has been released where it always resets to the init sound after saving (specially Beatmaker 3) This needs to be fixed ASAP ### 1/5 — Uh really? *2019-04-19, version 2.4.5* App didn’t work and I would greatly appreciate a refund. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Too confusing and left out some stuff *2018-07-04, version 2.4* When I got it I couldn’t find the record button and I’m not sure if this has all of the noise affects and sounds there are so developers plz fix this ### 1/5 — Rate this app *2018-05-17, version 2.4* The app is great but I am thoroughly sick of being asked to rate it all the time. So I will. One star! ### 2/5 — I soliti presets, ma se fate sul serio... *2018-03-13, version 2.4* Mi ci ero divertito un po’ sul telefono, ho fatto l’errore di comprare l’app per Macbook, è un giocattolino o poco più, soprattutto dati i prezzi. Sul mercato per meno soldi si trova di molto, molto meglio, basta cercare. In più ho chiesto allo sviluppatore, meno di un’ora dopo l’acquisto il rimborso che mi è stato rifiutato. Chi acquista on-line sa che oggi come oggi qualsiasi venditore onora il diritto di recesso (sacrosanto!) ormai anche su oggetti fisici dei quali è stata aperta la confezione (vedi Amazon). Vergogna. ### 2/5 — Poison 202 *2016-09-05, version 1.0* audiobus e Copy audio altrimenti inutile ### 3/5 — Not analog sound *2025-08-19, version 2.5.6* Does not have a 0 delay feedback filter…so not analog vintage sound…more like 90s VA ### 3/5 — Problem with midi bank change *2025-05-31* Sounds great. Program changes from digitakt work fine but crashes on bank changes within AUM. Otherwise a great sounding Auv3 synth. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Such a powerful Synth *2026-04-29* I only purchased this synth at the weekend and I’m blown away at it’s sheer power and flexibility, I’ve hardly turned it off now that I understand how to save my own presets. Even after all these years it still outperforms many other synth apps 👍 ### 5/5 — My Go-To Synth *2026-03-16* Got this recently and am very impressed. Took a chance on it as I really have enough synths by now. The developer has other apps that I use fairly often. He makes relatively lightweight apps that never crash, take up little space, and sound phenomenal. The sounds this synth can produce are impressive, especially the heavy bass presets, although the lead sounds are equally as good. I’m loving this app! ### 5/5 — Hey, Jim! *2026-01-05, version 2.5.7* Would love it if you brought this working version of your synth to macOS! Your current desktop offering on your site is for completely out of date systems. ### 5/5 — Prachtexemplar *2025-12-13* Ein vielseitig einsetzbarer und schön klingender Synth ### 5/5 — Poison is one of the best! *2025-11-01, version 2.5.6* An excellent 90s style analog sounding synth with lots of sound design capabilities. I highly recommended this to anyone looking for a quite impressive sounding instrument with a well designed and easy to use programming interface. ### 5/5 — Good *2025-06-05, version 2.5.6* Amazing, everything I could ask for. But I wish i could quantize in garage band. ### 5/5 — Amazing synth *2025-03-07, version 2.5.6* Jim audio makes great apps, maybe one of the best devs on iOS. This synth is incredible. I love it particularly because of its integration in GR II. For me it is now my most used synth. ### 5/5 — Extremely useful piece of software *2025-02-18* I literally cannot imagine making music without this. If you are on iOS and make trance, synthwave, hardstyle, house, ambient, really anything even remotely electronic, not using this in some capacity would be like trying to drive without any gas in your car. There is none better for the price. Additionally, this is the most stable, and among the lightest plugins i've ever used. You can stack however many you want in a song and it will keep working perfectly without so much as a crackle. This is incredibly impressive for how sonically capable it is. There are a lot of synths i've used with only a fraction of the power and they don't even come close to how well this performs. ### 5/5 — great synth! *2025-01-28* like all the other apps from this developer! ### 5/5 — best synth live and studio *2025-01-28, version 2.5.5* thanks for the update after 3 yrs😁, for the sound it never fails me, hope you can add more vintage and signature sound --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
