### 5/5 — I have the bundle!

*2018-11-06*

The controls are somewhat cryptic but once you know what they do (as the on-screen hints indicate) you will find these are very cool apps.

### 5/5 — Excellent Updates

*2017-06-01*

Erik makes a great app even greater.
Get all of this man's devices. Now!

### 5/5 — Brilliant, interesting app

*2016-11-26*

Simple and powerful. Wish everything on earth managed that combo as well!

### 5/5 — Unique

*2016-08-17*

I love Erik Sigth a.k.a. Humbletunes' apps.  Imaginative, inexpensive, innovative and like nothing else on iOS. Buy them all.

### 5/5 — ultra weird synth strings

*2016-05-24*

Wow this is sick. it seems to respond to velocity really well and sounds like real strings. kinda like a violin,bass or chapman Stick almost at times with the percussive aspect. crazy string synth weirdness, i salute

### 5/5 — STRNG

*2015-12-02*

COOL STRNG C'EST COMME LE ELSA ILS ONS PRESQUE LE MEME INTERFACE GRAPHIQUE . PAS BEAUCOUP DE PRESETS DEMO . BIEN SUR C'EST A NOUS DE LES FAIRES EST DE TROUVER LES REGLAGES AU MOINS SA NOUS APPREND. 
BIEN AUDIO BUS POUR L'INS TEMPS TOUT FONCTIONNE BIEN QUE SA CONTINUE COMME SA .

### 5/5 — Another fantastic App From Erik Sigth!

*2015-09-16*

I bought this app on the strength of Erik's other apps and was not disappointed. This string synth sounds really good, sort of reminds me of the string synth on the TE OP-1, but Strng just sounds a lot nicer. Reckon I'll be using this a lot piped into ableton. For £1.49p it's a bargain!

### 5/5 — Crazy good!

*2015-08-11*

This simple little synth sounds amazing, and is easy to create presets within minutes.  I'm a guitar player that has a soft spot for synths on ios.  Can't make presets to save my life on most of the big hitter synths.  This thing is easy as pie to make some great sounding presets.

### 5/5 — His best yet.

*2015-06-11*

First of all, the developer listened to his critics. Every control is labeled & visible and there's further instructions if you need. 

The sounds that this can make are fantastic. I forewent the synthmaster pro package for tonight's work because I was able to get such a unique sound with a bit of (easy & fun) tweaking.

With this, Sigth has cemented himself in my instant buy circle along with Igor Vasilev, Holderness Media, and Klevgränd.

### 5/5 — Good thang.

*2015-06-07*

Very cool product especially for the price. Sounds very nice!

### 5/5 — Uniquely organic string emulation

*2015-06-03*

Behind it's deceptively simple feature set hides a diverse range of tonal combinations. It only has a few presets so you have to dig in an experiment - but it's an easy and rewarding process to design your own. It has a raw and visceral timbre that cuts through a mix nicely. Highly recommended!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Toy

*2016-02-16*

Good fun for the dev to code, but far too simplistic and not sonically engaging from the outset.

### 2/5 — No sustain/note hold

*2025-03-17*

Thus I don’t use it.

### 3/5 — Volume pedal issue AUv3

*2019-10-27*

Good sound and easy to use but midi expression pedal works in standalone app but not in host AUv3 app like Camelot. I’m keyboard player and need to fade string sounds in and out as fits song so can’t use this live.

### 3/5 — Theee stars in expectation

*2019-05-09*

I have three other apps from Eric, I’m buying this one on the strength of that experience.  I’ll update this after I get to know Strng.

Weird thing:  bundle price made no sense.  It was cheaper to buy Strng and frekvens out right than buy the bundle.  Somehow, I don’t think that was what they were trying to accomplish...

### 3/5 — Latest update seems to have erased my preset

*2019-05-08*

Why? I don’t know.

**Developer response:** Hi, sorry to hear this. Please contact support for resolving this issue. 

Cheers

ERik

### 4/5 — spannende Klänge

*2023-11-25*

sehr interessante Klänge, die mit wenigen einfachen Einstellungen über ein großes Spektrum verteilt sind - von sehr realistischen Annäherungen an echte Saiteninstrumente sowohl gestrichen als auch gezupft oder geklopft zu sehr weirden Tönen.

ein bisschen verwirrend beim Spielen ist, dass weisse Linien zwischen zwei schwarzen nicht gespielt werden können. Da entspricht die visuelle Darstellung nicht ganz dem, was man tun kann. das könnte noch optimiert werden.

### 4/5 — Great little synth, but...

*2019-05-04*

Strng was very good, and it just got better. It’s now AUv3 also! However, like Tardigrain and Elsa if you have made presets in the standalone version, you cannot use them in AUv, which is a pity. Hope this can change, then this synth (and the others would be even greater than they are!)

### 4/5 — Strng Theory

*2017-01-11*

App works beautifully, including state saving under AudioBus. Could do with a few more presets.

### 4/5 — ça sonne bien

*2016-05-21*

Pas encore tout compris, mais franchement ça sonne bien. 
2€ c'est donné !
Sinon, sur ipad air sous IOS8.1.2, petits problème de visibilité à revoir. C'est à peine lisible.

### 5/5 — Incredible useful rechnology

*2026-05-15*

This is one of. The. Most  useful and inventive music creation apps on the appstore...more physical modeling apps like this please

### 5/5 — Bundle price not discounted properly

*2024-12-03*

But this review is about strng.  High quality, minimal ui.

I own this app, and the other 3 apps in the bundle is the same price as buying them separately.

### 5/5 — Superb and unique synth

*2022-07-11, version 1.5.9*

Amazing string synth! Very large sound pallet with a minimalistic GUI. A powerfull sound design instrument. ( Would be nice to have an update in the line of the fantastic one we had for Tardigrain recently. )

### 5/5 — Great Synthesis

*2022-04-21*

This is a gem. What fun!

### 5/5 — Unbelievable nice sounding synth!

*2021-12-09*

Great sounding! I’m looking forward to try it with mpe when my Osmose (expressive e) will arrive :) thanks for all the nice updates!
I love all your instruments!

### 5/5 — Wonderful

*2021-04-08*

Wonderful and beautifully designed. Love the sounds it is capable of creating!

### 5/5 — One of my most used synth apps

*2019-05-27*

I think I paid $3 for this app, but it’s easily worth $20. Simple intuitive interface reminiscent of the op-1 string synth. I love the new update, excited to try the rest of the bundle. Thanks dude I love your work!

### 5/5 — Neat app but very quiet.

*2019-05-27*

Wish there was a way to increase the volume.

### 5/5 — Price/Quality misaligned

*2019-05-12*

Occasionally an inexpensive app proves to be indispensable and it restores your faith in cheap apps, which is then disappointed by buying many useless cheap apps hoping each will reward your willingness to invest in them but instead just use up memory. 
Given the price you might assume that there is a bigger, better app to do what this one does. There isn’t. Now w/ AUv3 support this is the bigger, better app. Nothing else does strings like this. Laplace is closest but, as it’s not focused on strings it does not give the explicit control over string parameters the way this app does. I cannot replicate the sound with anything else. 
This should cost $10-$15 if compared to similar quality apps.

### 5/5 — Me encanta

*2019-05-04, version 1.5*

Un plugin maravilloso. Y ahora con AUv3!
