### 4/5 — Stable and good quality

*2026-07-06*

It sounds great and is intuitive to use. Unfortunately, there’s an additional popup window for node selections, with redundant information already shown in the main overlay that takes away valuable screen space on smaller devices (and that cannot be disabled). Apart from that, it works well and has never crashed.

### 1/5 — Gay to complex

*2025-04-11*

Way too complex of an app. I’m sure it is a great tool for anyone with a degree in mixing music but for the average person who just wants more bass it is extremely confusing. Would not recommend and would like money back if I could

### 1/5 — Check out that website first

*2025-03-31*

I just wanted a useful tool for my phone… This is not it. There should be a 2 weeks money back guarantee on softwares by now.

**Developer response:** Hi there! Sorry to hear about this. As described on the tin, these apps require an AUv3- compatible host program to operate. If your favourite audio app does not support AUv3 yet (it really should by now!), best to send them a feature request so that you can use AUv3 plugins :-)

### 5/5 — Peter

*2024-09-26*

Genial….Top

### 4/5 — Needs an update

*2024-07-29*

This has been a great equalizer for Garageband iOS up until now 

For some reason it’s not being read correctly as a plug-in when I upload my song and destroys my mixed tracks 

Please fix this !!!

### 5/5 — Absolutely incredible for Garageband on iPad

*2024-03-30*

I very, very rarely review apps, but I am compelled to write one for this app. TB Equalizer is absolutely ridiculously great. Amazing. I have been making beats for more than 22 years, and only a few years ago migrated to Garageband on the iPad from a clunky, hardware-laden home studio. I thought I knew every trick in the GarageBand book, but this app is god mode. I was fed up with Apple’s built-in AUV3 BandEQ module (not the basic 3-channel EQ) because it was so glitchy, which is why I finally decided to get this. I can’t believe it was only $10. If this app was $40 to $50 and I had demoed it first, I would have EASILY paid that. I love the ease of adding more channels. The per-channel magic assist or whatever it’s called is actually very good and helpful 50% of the time. The realtime oscilloscope paired with the dynamic EQ mode is just awesome. I’ve been using the AI assist for the final mix, which also comes in handy and is a nice touch. Even HQ mode legitimately improves sound quality. There are so many great functions, and I find none of them gimmicky. The app is also rock-solid stable in GarageBand. 10 stars for this. I can’t commend the devs enough on a great, great job coding this.

### 3/5 — Fantastic EQ but ridiculous UI size on iPhone

*2024-03-05*

First off TB plug-ins have fantastic sound quality and options. They’re professional grade. But all their apps UI suffer from the same problem which is they’re almost impossible to use on anything except a large iPad. Even on my plus/max sized iPhone I can’t tap the absolutely microscopic menus or icons without missing or tapping the wrong thing. Really needs larger UI to be useful in my workflow and I sincerely hope it’s implemented because they’re the closest thing we have to fabfilter on iPhone.

### 5/5 — The most powerful eq for iPhone

*2023-11-21*

I was in love with fabfilter pro q on my iPad but there was no version for my iPhone. With tb eq i now have a very similar eq at a much lower price and it is iPhone compatible 😀 it works fantastic.. i only need reading glasses now. I would love bigger fonts in the UI but i am still happy with the app

### 5/5 — Its great

*2023-08-22, version 4.7.0*

Top 2 eq on ios, toneboosters are all nice apps high quality and feature rich..affordable 🫶
