Tuff

I like to do alittle sponge bob and country here and there

Poor customer service…

I’ve owned Steel Guitar for a few years now and decided to use it with my midi keyboard to hopefully play it. So I decided to blow the $12.99 to get all the plugins. Unfortunately I’ve not been able to get it working even though the so-called Pro Pack boasts advanced midi features. Then I find out that they have a Pro model at the same price as the load of plugins I just purchased. I contacted them on FB Messenger to ask if I even could play it with my keyboard… and of course, no reply. Of course there is the option of buying the pro version and spending the $12.99 again, instead of offering a discounted price for previous owners, you have to buy it again… just like Galileo2. How about crediting me the $12.99 so I can get the Pro version Yonac?

Needs Bluetooth Support

I have nothing but love for this app, it helps me when I’m in a pinch for a show, BUT I hate that I can’t practice with my airpods, your phone will disconnect from them when you open the app.

I’d give it 5 stars if that ever happens.

steel guitar app not working

the previous version of the app worked fine.. but so far unable to get the new version to work properly on iPhone 12

Shuts off my Bluetooth

When I open this app it shuts off my Bluetooth headphones…?

Grrrrr.

Dude, you are killing me with these “new version upgrades”. I spent a decent amount money on IAP for this app, and now I discover that to stay current, I have to buy a new version and likely repurchase all the add-ons that I purchased for THIS one? That feels really wrong to me. I own much of the stuff you produce going back a very long time and as you can see below I have been a strong supporter, but after buying expensive updated versions of Galileo, and Magellan (I was mostly glad to support them even if they were costly) I now discover I need to move to new versions of Steel Guitar and ToneStack and I see no way to move my IAPs for either. Yeah, I’m sorry but I think I’m gonna have to let these go and focus my resources elsewhere. (somewhat duplicated in my ToneStack review)

Midi doesn’t work

Bought the pro pack for midi and the midi never worker at all on any of my midi controllers

App doesn’t play through headphones

Trying to use app with headphones

Sweet sound but where’s the AU ?

What I’m upset about is when I bought this, at some point it included an AU and or VST3 plug-in that I could then use with Logic Pro x and if it works with Logic it works with apples main stage. There’s even a link to download the plugin but there’s nothing there. What happened? When these music apps came out for iPhone and later iPad I considered them just music/game apps. Something to play with not a reliable performing tool.

Plus I’ve looked everywhere and i think this is the only lap steel out there. Amazingly so far I’ve just listened to it through my gen 1 iPad Pro with 4 speakers. It’s amazing the sweet sound this makes through those tiny speakers. I can’t wait to hear it through my studio rig. Let me know if I can get a plug-in for Logic Pro x . Ofcoarse it would have to be played on a keyboard and will not have all these functions. Maybe that’s why it’s gone

Amazing

I love it, I use it everyday! Amazing sound for an App!

No MIDI Hardware Support

Even though the app says Hardware In, I assumed this meant that you can enable playing notes on your midi keyboard, it doesn’t work at all. I wish I had never purchased this.

What Have I Been Missing?

I bought this app when it first went on sale and picked up the in-app purchases. I played with it a couple of times then I never touched it again until today. 5 years I’ve had this and not used it’s amazing tone and vibe. Over the last couple of years I’ve learned a bit about slide guitar so I applied that to this and in no time I was playing Ry Cooders Feelin’ Bad Blues. The only real downside I see with this is that I can’t mute the strings that are ringing when I move to other strings. That’s right hand technique. But you can adjust the dampened sustain so it creates an imperfect approximation but still usable. I highly recommend this app even if just to try killing time in the waiting line at your local rat race. It sounds great and it’s fun.

Not working

It won’t work with my AirPods 👎🏼

It’s great! I wonder?

It’s a great app. I wonder if it will ever have a resonator guitar included…

Midi

Would love it if you could add midi notes...so you can play the actual sounds thru a midi controller(keyboard)...I could rate this 5 stars...the pitch bend or mod wheel should control the slider bar...you could sell more...most people use midi controllers these days...then I could rate it 5 stars

This is good

I play guitar and this is probably the only guitar app I have ever paid for. Fantastic.

Rip-off Alert

They have the nerve to put this on cybermonday sale without revealing that it crashes on open because is FIVE YEARS OLD and yet ANOTHER paid app rendered useless by an apple update with no discernible value. This was a lovely application and like so many others, is useless and irreplaceable.

Don’t bother clicking for support, they don’t even list this on their menu. For sale yes, support NO.

Was on sale with all apps today and bought it all but doesnt work

Even bought the “whole enchalada”package for an extra 9.99 to be able to access midi control but it doesn’t work

Very good.

I notice a request to improve the tuning text does not seem to have happened. Secondly I would like the option to have musical scales shown on the guitar neck(body). This would enable a novice to be able to get the most out of the instrument. The number of guitars amps and effects along with the number of different guitars make this a pleasure to play.
