Favorite plugin but issues after iOS 26
I’ve been enjoying using this plugin for GarageBand ever since I bought it more than a year ago! However, after updating to iOS 26, I started having issues with the plugin not being able to load. I tried redownloading GarageBand and the Soundfonts app, but I still had the same problem with it crashing and being unable to load. I think this is an essential app that makes GarageBand even better, so I really hope this is fixed. Thank you!

Excellent app, responsive and helpful developer
I downloaded this app after my partner showed it to me and it blew my mind, I had no idea such a thing existed.
Initially I had trouble integrating it with Garage Band on my iphone, emailed the developer and they got back to me within hours with a solution that completely solved the problem.
This is the order of steps I took that solved my personal problem (no sound coming through the audio unit in GB): closing Garage Band completely, uninstalling Soundfonts, restarting my phone, redownloading Soundfonts, opening Soundfonts and THEN opening Garage Band—problem solved.
Incredible work, highly reccomend this app.

Thanks for taking the time to post your kind review. Glad to know everything worked out.
Great app for sf2s
A while ago some friends of mine who use this app for sf2-playing said they didn’t like how song exporting makes the tracks into sine waves, so they had to screen record it. I’m glad it was fixed recently.
Fantastic app! MPE support would be amazing.
(Please :)
I recommend
The app is almost perfect, i only have a couple complaints though, the app doesn’t have a way to shorten the release of the instruments, nor attack and sustain, it would be fantastic if this was added. My other complaint is that the app will sometimes crash garage band if you have too many soundfont players, I’m not sure if it’s this, or garage band. But overall, i highly recommend this if you use garage band.

Crashing Issue
This app is really nice, however on GarageBand IOS, it repeatedly crashes, and there’s nothing I can do about it.
Regarding version 2.30.8
Although this works great on iPadOS, this app won't validate as an AU using Logic Pro on macOS. It used to work for a while… I'd love to be able to use it again on desktop.
Best plugin I’ve ever used, just one problem left
The only problem is that the instruments convert to sine waves every single time the performance is optimized (which happens A LOT in GarageBand). If this problem was fixed, than it would definitely be a 5-star app!

Thanks for reporting your version. Version v2.30.6 has a fix that I hope alleviates your issue.
Still crashing
Not sure what happened but even after the recent update it still crashes whether it’s auv3 or standalone. I’m on 2017ipad pro w/ the 16.7 software update.
EDIT:
Bro that was quick, I mentioned crashing issues yesterday and today the issue is resolved. Where is the tip jar?

AMAZING IDEA! But doesn’t always work as intended
Overall I’m glad I got it, because when it’s working it’s very easy to download and use soundfonts from a ton of games. It does completely tweak out and forget it exists sometimes though. When it does this, you have to either reload the extension or possibly re-add all of the fonts back. You can’t really share the music unless you screen record it or something similar, and upon opening there’s a good chance you need to reload a ton. I love this app, because I can’t find anything else designed like it, but in order for it to really be useable it can’t glitch out like this… 💔

Can you please fix this.
The app keeps crashing and ejecting all of the soundfonts out of it when I don't use it for a while. It's very annoying. Can you please add a big patch that fixes it?
Crashed from moment 1
Never even got to try it. Won’t open. Won’t run. Can’t use at all. 7.99 gone.
Stopped working?
I love this app and it’s really improved all of my GarageBand music projects but it randomly stopped working on my iPhone? Like every time I enter it it just crashes and sends me back to the Home Screen.
Currently unusable
I am an avid user of this app, as someone who is really used to garageband’s Ui being able to use SF2s is incredibly helpful. However I haven’t been able to use it for WEEKS because it keeps loop crashing on itself so hard GarageBand thinks it doesn’t even exist! If this issue was fixed it’d be a solid 3-4 star product but at the moment I can’t recommend this to anyone

Why does it keep crashing
On any Apple device besides iPhones, the app keeps on crashing and every time you open it it just closes the app, and anytime you open the app back up it does the same thing. I would like you guys to get this fixed ASAP!!! Still works on phones though, just letting you know
latest update is crashing the app
haven’t been able to use this app in weeks because of the newest upgrade… every time i open the app it exits out within a second. please fix this!!! i need my projects back :’(
Convenient, but tedious.
It is incredible at providing new SoundFonts to GarageBand, but it crashes way too often. Sometimes, the app would forget about my added fonts, and replace it with sine waves, and I would have to manually change every single track back to its original sound. So, be prepared to do that again and again when you download the app.

Great but…
I like this app, it can be useful for loading soundfonts and other things. Is what I would say if the latest update didn’t mess up the whole app. Now all the songs I made with it are useless! Please fix this… (I’m on garage band iPhone btw)
SoundFonts version 2.30.2
Although this works great on iPadOS, this app STILL won't validate as an AU using Logic Pro on macOS as of October 30, 2024. Please look into this or change the description of the app so users no longer get the impression the plugin works on desktop. Thank you.
Response from developer
Apologies for this. I have submitted an update that should restore this functionality.
