### 1/5 — Almost all of their apps are goner

*2024-08-02*

Sigh!

### 1/5 — Bait and switch

*2021-11-29, version 1.2.14*

Not buying anything from you again

### 5/5 — Best of three

*2018-04-21, version 1.0.4*

There are essentially three versions of this app, with this one being the best due to its ability to act as a controller, or controller plus in-app sounds. What would make it complete, would be to add AU3.

Nic

### 1/5 — Not made for iPhone

*2017-06-23*

Impossible to play single note on iPhone. 

They had a button for this on sound prism pro (along with other buttons now missing) but got rid of it and used the space for the expression thing. 

I thought it would've been nice to have an option between the expression or the buttons.

Sounds are there but too .... crazy but you can make it work. 

Bottom line. Got an iPhone? What less features and more strange sound presets? If you have Sound prism pro don't get this.

PS. link is cool and works well thooo

### 2/5 — Keeps crashing on startup on iPad 2017 128Gb

*2017-06-10, version 1.0.4*

Picked this up with the Enthusiasts bundle but whereas the other SPs run ok this one just exits when starting up on my iPad 2017 128Gb. Runs OK on iPad mini 2 32Gb so what gives?

### 5/5 — Immer in den top ten

*2017-05-28*

Sound prism pro macht mein iPad 1 zu einen polyphonen Keyboard. Und sound prism Link bringt es in in die Synchronisation. Ich würde ein gebrauchtes iPad kaufen und nur diese App darauf laufen lassen.

### 4/5 — ottima (per me manca qualcosa...)

*2017-05-18*

Utilissima app. Molto ispirante per creazioni intuitive/istintive....
La consiglio, però, per le mie esigenze avrei due richieste che riguardano l'utilizzo della app in particolari situazioni: 

Un registratore nativo audio (anche multitraccia?) incluso nell'app, per scrivere/memorizzare le composizioni al volo.

Un registratore nativo midi, per esportare le composizioni, i relativi accordi etc. ed utilizzarle su altre app, con altri sistemi tipo MacBook.

Grazie

### 5/5 — Wie immer

*2017-04-22*

klasse umgesetzt und sinnvoll erweitert.

### 5/5 — Special Sound

*2017-03-03, version 1.0.2*

Great apps made by this developer. Brilliant interface.

### 5/5 — Rekindled my interest in music!

*2016-11-03, version 1.0.2*

Keyboard skills aren't a strong point so for me this app makes both a great compositional tool and a way to play the iPad as an instrument in its own right.

As a performance app it's up there with the likes of Borderlands Granular and Patterning, and yet it's so simple! Which is where Soundprism really scores, keeping the complexity away and helping me find my way around different scales and chords. This has made my music come alive. Top quality app. Thank you Audanika!

If you aren't sure, just check it out on YouTube. I did, and then bought it, and it's one of the best iPad decisions I've made.
