Apps need updating. *2017-10-02, version 1.5.2* Please update the rest of your apps as a lot of us have payed good money for them and are frustrated that they no longer work now we have IOS 11. Sort this out chaps as like many I really love playing on them 😕 ### 2/5 — Could be better *2016-12-21, version 1.5.2* For Aliasing and please stop putting your face or look alikes all over your apps. It is rather tacky and egocentric. This lacks so many things a real sample app needs. Its ok for putting in words and playing wacky sounds. ### 5/5 — Very cool sampler *2015-12-15, version 1.5.1* Defiantly one of the coolest samplers I've used. ### 5/5 — SampleWiz Rocks! 🎶💪🏼 *2015-10-03, version 1.5.0* Just works perfect on my iPhone 6! The sounds, the quality... I'm a big fan of Jordan Rudess, the best keyboard master around the planet! 👌🏼 ### 5/5 — Atypical sampler *2015-07-18, version 1.5.0* While this is probably the most "normal" interface of all your apps, it still puts an intuitive twist on things. There are modes and functions that are much more than meets the eye. The fact that it interfaces with geo synth makes it a must-have. Very inspiring work as an electrical engineer and keyboard player. Thank you! -Brendan Hasson ### 4/5 — Intuitive, fun sampler. *2015-03-14, version 1.5.0* Does exactly as it should and has a couple inventive features that really add style to the sampler without over complexifying the interface. A fun and well thought out app that is easy to use and is quite original. ### 5/5 — Jordan is one of us *2014-11-21, version 1.5.0* After my first try I kind of did not like the interface. But a friend urged me to check out some of Jordan's demos ...and I must say that kind of gave me the impression that he Really wanted people to like and understand his interfaces.As it turns out sample wiz is much cooler than it seemed at first. Now I'm a fan of it.peace Christo ### 4/5 — Fun Audiobus-compatible MIDI sampler *2014-11-10, version 1.5.0* Very cool features, three different stretch modes, neat resampling and sample point selection.. Wish I could sample more than 10 seconds, but everyone has their wishes ;) ### 5/5 — Great Sample Manipulator *2014-10-23, version 1.5.0* Still the best, and most useful, sampler keyboard for iOS. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work any more *2024-12-15, version 1.5.2* This hasn’t been able to be opened for months now. Needs either updating or removing from the App Store ### 1/5 — C҉R҉A҉S҉H҉E҉S҉ *2023-11-14, version 1.5.2* Crashes on all new devices!!!

L application ne fonctionne plus. ### 1/5 — Non professional *2020-01-03* This app is not as professional as I think. Waste of money ### 1/5 — samplewiz *2015-11-08* dont work ### 1/5 — Just bad *2015-05-04, version 1.5.0* Sounds awful. One sample at a time. Completely outdated and a ridiculous waste of money. I want a refund! ### 1/5 — I am very sad about that is no accessible for voice over users *2015-04-03* I watched or better I listened to the YouTube with you about this amazing app and because I am DJ Ing so I very often search for an app for creating great music so I was searching for an app like this one but actually I'm very sad about that thing that it is not accessible for voiceover users on an iOS device. I am really very sad about that! Now I pay €10 for this nice app and I can't really use it. So very sorry but I can only give one star for this so interesting up ### 1/5 — Samplewiz *2014-09-24* This app does not work after updating version 8, fix it. ### 1/5 — Schade *2014-06-28* Sample Wiz läuft für drei bis vier Sekunden auf dem iPhone 5s. 9,99 für nichts!!!!! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Top *2026-05-19* 2026 e está funcionando! ### 5/5 — Ótimo app *2022-05-26* Funciona muito bem no iPhone 8, e ainda possui conexão via bluetooth. ### 5/5 — Até hoje, muito bom! *2021-07-09* Fácil de usar, divertido e versátil. ### 5/5 — Still one of the best sample apps *2019-09-01, version 1.5.2* After many years still a most capable and enjoyable app. Wish we saw more updates or v2. Would be nice to have 2 Osc and an envelope filter would really beef up this app. Please please update or release a newer build would pay again for it. Still waiting. This is a very basic app in it fullest which makes it what it is. Simple straight forward and works quite nicely. Let's start a beta testing for version 2 you know simple is always the best so let's make it happen ### 5/5 — Please Make it AUv3! Will Put SW Over The Top!!! *2019-01-23, version 1.5.2* An awesome app and Sampling delight! I created some of my very favorite ZT3A Synth presets on it and Wow! Amazing the amount of tweaking that can be done. I love the UI but I really wish I could load several instances of SW! Please make it AUv3 and it will put this awesome app over the top! Visit the AudioBus forums if you want to talk more about this awesome app! Plenty of Pro users there! I highly recommend this app! MM4C ### 5/5 — Amazing *2018-09-07, version 1.5.2* Super cool app ### 5/5 — SampleWiz *2018-08-22, version 1.5.2* Please make this AUv3 in the next update loved this app for years now ### 5/5 — Fav *2017-11-17, version 1.5.2* My all time favourite sampling app! Seem to be having issues exporting, could be an iOS 11 problem. Hopefully will see an update soon ### 5/5 — \*+<=.... *2017-08-06, version 1.5.2* A very well thought out sampler for an iPad. Musical and effective. ### 5/5 — Samplewizard Jordan Rudess zeigt´s allen *2016-08-18* SampleWiz ist immer noch der König der Softwaresamplingapps: Supereinfache Bedienung, vom Sampling bis in die Performancemodes. Dabei hat Samplewiz bei aller Bedienerfreundlichkeit einiges unter der Haube. Welcher User wollte nicht schon immer Waveforms mit einem granularen Playhead anfassen, zerdehnen, transponieren. Was zur vollen Glückseligkeit fehlen würde ist 1.) eine gut funktionierende Autoloopfunktion 2.) Multisampling 3.) eine Online-Library zum Sample-Austausch zwischen den Usern. Übrigens - Vielen danke, Mr Ruddess, daß ich die tolle Wiz-Animation in den Settings abstellen darf. Jetzt fällt im Hintergrund der App nur noch der Schnee, und fällt und fällt und fällt...... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
