### 5/5 — A beautifully designed, well thought out app.

*2026-05-19*

3rd time having to rewrite this but devs deserve it. 

Brilliant app. Very generous free to try out and well worth the $10 for export. Maybe an auv3 player for DAWs would be cool but I really just enjoy designing in the app itself without distractions. 

Between this and Musyc 2 this year is really impressive. Bravo.

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for taking the time to write this — especially a third time!

### 5/5 — The best visual synth for iPad

*2026-04-21*

I had been looking for a VJ app for a long time and finally found Polagone. While other apps and hardware visual synths tend to be too psychedelic, Polagone can be more subtle and organic. I love the aesthetics. Detailed modulation settings for external signals such as MIDI and audio are also great.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your kind words!

### 5/5 — Phenomenal

*2026-04-17*

this app is incredible. really. the skies the limit w this bad boy. if anybody knocks it they have a flaw in their imagination. u can do so much. well well worth the money 👏 👏

### 5/5 — Excellent Choice

*2026-03-28*

Seriously falling in love with this app. Really having fun with Polagone!

### 5/5 — Very Fun!

*2026-03-25*

Really having fun with Polagone! Love the seamless loop function. Super easy to import loops into TouchViz. Can you add Ableton Link support so we can sync Polagone’s bpm to AUM, BeatMaker3, Loopy Pro please!

### 5/5 — Le g

*2026-03-22*

C’est une app totalement incroyable je me baladais dans l’app store pour trouver une application originale de dessin et je n’ai pas été déçu

### 5/5 — Great fun with a tiny glitch! Edited!!

*2026-03-21*

Edit: 
Less than a week after writing this review, the app had been updated and the issue fixed. Huge thanks to the dev team! Upgraded from 4 to 5 stars :)

I’m loving Polagone - so much fun for bus journeys and lunch breaks and is already become a firm staple in my VJ content pipeline!  
My only issue is that on my iPhone (12, running iOS 17… yes I know…) the only way for me to start a new project is to delete the app and redownload it. It works brilliantly on my iPad so almost certainly an old iOS bug!

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your review — it really means a lot, even when it’s a bit nuanced.
I’m really glad to hear you’re enjoying Polagone and using it in your VJ workflow. A lot of improvements and new features are planned for live performance use later this spring.

Regarding the issue on iOS 17, thanks for pointing it out. This kind of behavior is indeed linked to older iOS versions, and it should be fixed in the next update.

Thanks again for your feedback and support — it really helps improve the app.

### 5/5 — This is an amazing app!

*2026-03-20*

Incredible possibilities with this app. The renderings are smooth, hi res, and precise. You can start with any of the great samples and edit from there, or start from scratch. It’s deceptively simple too. Very easy learning curve, but you can also get very complex is you want. Incredible graphics and animation creation! One of my favorites of 2026 so far. Highly recommended!!!

### 4/5 — nice but one stupid flaw

*2026-03-19*

i love using this and may use it for my website visuals but i feel like you don’t have to pay to save. that’s incredibly stupid. pls fix that then i’ll five.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your review — it really means a lot, even when it’s a bit nuanced.
Just to clarify one important point: saving your projects is actually free, unlimited, and synced across all your Apple devices via iCloud.

What is paid is the export (PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, etc.), which helps support the development of the app.

That said, if you don’t want to pay, there’s always a simple workaround — taking a screenshot works too. Of course, with a screenshot you won’t have control over framing, resolution, or export format.

Thanks again for your feedback — and I hope you’ll consider updating your rating.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-02-24*

So cool - anyone interested in art or design should download. I am hooked
