The only other limiter that offers this on iOS is the FabFilter one. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback - pleasure to see people enjoying our plug-ins! ### 5/5 — The best you will find, don’t let the price fool you *2019-10-15* Top notch compressor and limiter, there is none better available for your iPad or iPhone. If you do audio on your iOS device, just get this. You’re welcome. **Developer response:** Thanks! ### 5/5 — I hope that Enhancer will be the next! *2019-09-23* Hello good people at ToneBoosters! So far you gave us three very nice apps and I have them all. They work fine and look beautiful. I recommend them all to those who do not have them yet. Please do not stop there and please make Enhancer the next app. Thank you! **Developer response:** Thanks! ### 5/5 — Man the Barricade! *2019-09-20* IOS music makers have until recently had two possibilities for Limiter/Compressor apps. Cheap and cheerful, often inferior models, or the relatively expensive Fab Filter offering. Now, we have Barricade. An app that is very reasonably priced and yet also very high quality. Not as sophisticated as Pro-L but easily able to accomplish what anyone who isn’t a sound engineer might want to do. It is especially handy for people who bought into FF under Auria Pro, and now find themselves expected to pay all over gain to use those apps elsewhere. If that is you, then Barricade is great solution. Nic **Developer response:** Thanks for the great feedback! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 5/5 — Peak *2026-03-25* Peak ### 5/5 — A must have for live keyboardists *2022-05-12* I use this live on stage with my AUs. A big issue with iOS music is that the levels are EVERYWHERE. I initially was using the TB compressor to reign in the dynamic range, but barricade is insanely better suited to this task. PROS: -Low dsp (as long as you don’t use the built in compressor) -Boost the gain towards the ceiling at -1 dbfs and you’ll be able to bring up those super quiet piano apps (cough*Korg*cough). Seriously, boost the gain on the Ivory Pianos inside module and they come to life LIVE — not just on playback in a daw. -place Barricade on a bus to make certain your whacky synth app that sometimes glitches doesn’t blow some speakers -the audition capability is great to make sure you aren’t over limiting, or getting rid of part of the sound you’d like to keep -SATURATION. Most of you probably don’t even realize there’s multiple saturation algorithms that work on an adjustable threshold. The mixer, mild, and tape algorithms work really well to contain the digital artifacts in some synths, or grunge up the tone to get a little lower-fi -virtually no latency. I play live at 64 samples. Pianos, clav, b3, synths, etc. This limiter, unlike most of the others on iOS, does not affect playability. -an actual manual CONS: -Graph layout is a little odd, not particularly intuitive, and looks fuzzy on AUv3 (standalone is clear). Do read the manual to do anything more advanced than brick wall limiting. Awesome stuff ToneBoosters! **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — FINALLY, a plug in that does the job *2021-04-21* Best compressor I’ve used for IOS, best limiter. Finally a plug in that functions like it should. Well worth $13 **Developer response:** Thanks! ### 5/5 — リミッターでした *2020-12-29* マキシマイザーとしてガンガン音圧もあげられるし、トゥルーピークってボタンあるから、安全装置的にも使ってます iPhone XのGarageBandで使ってます 使いやすいです **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Toneboosters Quality *2020-08-07* Absolutely awesome Just purchased the latest compressor and just like all Toneboosters it's 100% Quality My favourite is the Enhancer no the reverb, no the EQ, No all of them.....value for your money... Thank you Toneboosters.... Ps.... Delay??? DeEsser???? **Developer response:** Thanks! You might want to check the price of our compressor ;-) ### 5/5 — beast !! *2020-08-05* the soft clipping function is the best !!! **Developer response:** Thank you! ### 5/5 — Perfect! No Latency! *2020-05-17* Buy the fabfilter, buy the Fac, and this is the only limiter that does not introduce latency !!! and it sounds great !!! it is perfect! **Developer response:** Thanks for your rating and feedback :-) ### 5/5 — HQ Plugins ! *2020-05-08* Highly recommended! 🤩 **Developer response:** Thanks for your rating and feedback :-) ### 5/5 — Thanks for updates *2020-03-06* The resent updates immediately yield better results faster. Is it possible to have dry/wet function for the comp? Or better can you release a compressor/downward expander with dry/wet and hp or side chain filter? It will be simply a bestseller for ios. Thank you for your hard work and golden ears! **Developer response:** Thanks Igor! ### 5/5 — The app is really good! *2020-02-14* Please, please, please, add side-chain! **Developer response:** Thanks Heleste! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
