### 4/5 — Fantastic EQ but ridiculous UI size on iPhone

*2024-02-20*

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 — Wrong app reviewed

*2020-10-26*

When I initially reviewed this, I had it mixed up with another app and gave it a horrible review. I apologize. This looks like a great app, but I haven’t yet fully figured out how to use it. Looking forward to it, as my headphones do not have one.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the response!

### 5/5 — More IPad disk space

*2020-10-06*

I overlooked the whole TB range for along time..my mistake !!!. After  using the TB reverb for a couple of days I downloaded the EQ  and Enhancer apps and  I’m very happy to report all of these apps  have a work flow and sound quality equal to or better than other pro end solutions I have used.... It follows that I have have been able to dispose of  a sizable cohort of  space eating ...less spectacular apps ...hence more disk space ..You can’t sniff at  around 2 GIG and all for the price of a trip to  the cinema ..a large soft drink ..popcorn and  one of those crap hot dogs.🙏🎶🎩👏👏🦄

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! :-)

### 5/5 — amazing !!!

*2020-08-07*

best eq we would like to see a pitch shifter plugin from you guys!! it would be the best

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! :-)

### 4/5 — Great but presets.

*2020-07-02*

I love TB plug-ins. It is ok for any kind of tasks. But only one thing is confusing me: the presets. 

I can’t get why do you write about some “AUv3” limitations, while miRack, Drambo, and other AUv3  plug-ins can save files to local Filesystem and load it back. I have a library for miRack and for Drambo and use it. 

Sometimes it needs to compare 5 or 6 EQ curves, or 4 TB Barricade presets.

Please, add the good presets Save/Load option to AUv3 TB plug-ins!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your suggestion!

### 5/5 — Fab what now?

*2020-05-29*

I downloaded this and the Pro Q 3 demos on my laptop to compare before committing to an iOS purchase. Holy smokes, the features, value, and most importantly the sound of Toneboosters plugins blew me away. I ended up buying all the iOS plugins and some desktop ones too!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! :-)

### 5/5 — Same as Eventide: Just ONE Multi-out???

*2020-05-25*

Just one complaint: Especially on an EQ, one channel side chain, is simply to less, we need a channel for ~5 bands. 

2 more stars if the above gets implemented.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! 

Unfortunately there are not many hosts out there that can provide multiple external side chain inputs. So implementing it might have very limited value today. 

That said, you can make this work by running several instances in parallel, each with their own external side chain input.

### 5/5 — HQ Plugins !

*2020-05-08, version 1.1.4*

Highly recommended! 🤩

### 5/5 — Toneboosters are Top Notch

*2020-04-10*

Toneboosters has been one of the best audio plugin companies since the very early days of audio plugins, the company can trace it’s history almost as long as Waves. You will NEVER regret or have buyer’s remorse when purchasing Toneboosters, you always come away very satisfied! Great prices and extraordinary quality in sound. I hoped to see the whole collection make it’s way to the ARM/Apple platform because these really are one of the industry standards of the last 20 years. I would like to see a bundle deal once the complete collection is ported to iPadOS/iOS!!

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! :-)

### 5/5 — Top notch 👌

*2020-04-08*

What an amazing eq for the money , best in price range by a mile .
High quality product . Keep the good work .

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! :-)

### 5/5 — Amazing EQ

*2020-03-23*

Such a great tool. Sometimes it’s hard for my thick fingers to get some of the smaller controls. But it’s not impossible. Other apps make it harder. 

This is professional and essential.

**Developer response:** Thanks much for your feedback! For easier use of the controls, a simple stylus or an active pen can help considerably.

### 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 :-)

### 1/5 — Cutting off 2 stars, reason below

*2023-08-11, version 4.7.0*

Amazing app! Must buy! 

Extremely poor communication.
Best wishes.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with LumaFusion

*2022-02-17, version 1.5.0*

As of 2/17/22, this app only crashes luma fusion as a plug in.

### 1/5 — Air Pod Pro

*2021-08-15, version 1.4.7*

Makes audio sound flat and doesn’t adjust any frequency on the Air Pod Pro ear buds. Once the app is closed audio sounds normal again. Seems like a compatibility problem. Would like my money back

### 1/5 — Where's the documentation?

*2019-10-06*

I believe it when the developers and reviewers say its a great app.  Just don't know where to find the documentation that will explain the features and how to use them, or even just how to navigate the interface.  The developer site devotes two pages about it on the omnibus user manual, and it's not platform specific.  Oh well, at least it's just 7 bucks down the drain.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.

The user manual is provided on our website: www.toneboosters.com/support.html

It does not have a dedicated mobile version section, since the operation of our mobile and desktop apps is identical. We strive for simplicity and transparency, and having identical operations for both is essential.

The manual does need an update on the EQ and we will provide that very soon (if only a day had more than 24 hours, we would have done that sooner).

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

### 3/5 — Mouse

*2022-08-01*

When are you going to make your apps mouse compatible?

**Developer response:** You can use all our apps with a mouse. If you are experiencing specific issues, please contact us directly for support; happy to help!

### 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.

### 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 !!!

Genial….Top

### 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.

### 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 🫶

### 5/5 — Since I only use iphone for my projects

*2023-03-13*

Wonderful , professional and best money I have spent on plug-in  or eq , wthe reason i don’t need my  macbook  or anything besides a iPhone to make a  albulm.—-thanks for a EQ that is better than fab filter and on the iPhone se (last headphone jack  iPhone )   And remembering us iPhone producers Speeddee aka filtheesouth

### 5/5 — My go-to EQ

*2023-01-22*

Brilliant dynamic EQ for ios, I’d buy it on my Mac as well! I see the developers are super responsive and I’m always happy with new  updates! Thank you

### 5/5 — The only EQ you need🤌

*2023-01-06*

Bruh this EQ just makes life simple, the AI suggestion thing is super dope.

As of today I’m ditching all the other EQs.

Definitely plan on checking out some of their other apps some other time, they make quality stuff!

### 5/5 — Affordable DYANMIC EQ for Ipad

*2022-04-22*

Was looking for an EQ to tame and sculpt some of my synth and keyboard patches for live shows. This fits the bill perfectly! I tried the demo on Windows first and was sold. The analog circuit adds some subtle saturation if you need it. Adding 16 independent dynamic bands is more than enough control for projects and shows. I don’t use the AI, but I mix on my laptop and workstation, not my iPad. Use this as an AUV3 in AUM and KeyStage, it can easily be the only EQ on your iPad. If you have a problem with the price… just go look at the prices on MAC and Windows for EQ’s with half the functionality!

EDIT:
An idea to make this even better than it is:  NEGATIVE dynamic ratios!  I would love to be able to quickly punch up about 500-1k on a piano to add some good knock to the sound but maintaining a level frequency response on the sustain.  You all don’t have a multi-band compressor; this would hit the mark even harder than you already did!  Absolutely a bonkers great EQ.

**Developer response:** Thank you!

### 5/5 — Love this EQ!!

*2021-05-30*

Use the desktop version; if you don't have it, get! Installed this to use with twistedwave.

### 5/5 — Pro level EQ. Well done.

*2021-04-12*

Adding my voice to those super happy with this great quality EQ.  Really has made a difference in my work. It's so easy to use. I've had zero issues with it.  With this EQ I don't have to struggle a long time to find the sweet spot. Worth every penny to me.
