I see no way of contacting customer support to ask a simple question like, why in the world is my list of pedal boards not in any discernible order? Why would you do this? ### 3/5 — Eine sehr gute App & Idee, aber… *2026-03-19* Die App wurde zuletzt vor drei Jahren aktualisiert und bei jedem Lied steht: original comming soon ### 4/5 — Get this app *2026-01-20, version 2.3.12* Looking into an affordable solution for a musical gig and settled on tone bridge after checking into several others. The ease of use is beyond compare and the amount of tones based on actual songs is great. My suggestion to the developers is to allow my phone to be horizontal and the app change its layout. As it is, I have to sit my phone on top of that expensive adapter instead of having it fed into the side. The pedalboard view in particular would benefit greatly from landscape perspective. More support for generic page turning devices would be good too. ### 5/5 — Greatest tone app *2026-01-15, version 2.3.12* Great app for using the audio interface with the phone! Can’t wait for a new update! ### 4/5 — Some one reply *2026-01-12, version 2.3.12* Pretty good but for some reason it keeps turning down which is kind of annoying and weird ### 4/5 — Nice app *2025-12-26, version 2.3.12* Nice app but no updates for 2 years? Why? ### 2/5 — Anleitung ist schlecht *2025-12-10* Ich fang nach Jahren mit der Gitarre wieder an und suche klar was sonst Anleitung. Deshalb habe ich ultimate Pro abonniert und mit dem Link get effects auch diese App tonebridge runtergeladen. Was ich gut fände, wenn man es verbessern würde, ist die Transparenz. Ich kaufe pro weil ich dann denke ich hab alles. Das ist aber nicht der Fall. In der App gibt’s mindestens noch vier weitere Zukauf Optionen, von denen ich nicht weiß, wofür sie gut sind. Ich fände es gut, wenn man einfach einen Preis macht. Und dann pro mit allem hat und nicht immer noch irgendwas fehlt. Bei der Dokumentation könnte man auch nachlegen. Was „use flat“ bedeutet, habe ich bis jetzt nicht rausgefunden. In der Anleitung zu dieser App tonebridge steht nur verbinde deine Gitarre mit ToneBridge. Was nicht dabei steht, ist wie. Was für Geräte brauche ich und wie muss ich das anschließen? ### 5/5 — Love this app!! *2025-12-02, version 2.3.12* Simple, sounds great and super customizable. What more do you want? Can’t believe it’s free. ### 3/5 — Great app but, *2025-11-26, version 2.3.12* This needs more improvement, and the speed is not helping the licensed music. The coming soon is so long and it’s making originals so bad it’s gonna get hurt. I wanted this back right over. ### 3/5 — Педали все серого цвета *2025-10-17* All pedals without colors ;( only grey base color, fix this please ### 3/5 — Mal *2025-09-23, version 2.3.12* Es buena, perooo, trato de conectarme con mi irig y mi adaptador para iphone y no suena nada ### 5/5 — Tonebridge *2025-08-26, version 2.3.12* Versi baru lagi lah, banyakin lagi ❤️ ### 5/5 — The Opinion *2025-08-21, version 2.3.12* Thanks to tonebridge…now i dont jave to buy bunch of expensive pedals effect…but still doesn’t know how to use it on amplifire…only can hear the guitar sound from earphones.Any tips for this ? ### 5/5 — Tonebridge is awesome! *2025-08-21, version 2.3.12* I am having so much with all the presets and creativity you can do with tonebridge And it’s free! Thank you Tonebridge And I absolutely love how you can tweak the presets and even create your own. You can type in a song or a band and tonebridge finds a matching sound, it’s great! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Worst app ever 😡 *2026-06-16, version 2.3.12* This is an absolute waste of time. If you have an acoustic guitar this app is useless! You have to by your own plug and amp for it to read you! And if it’s acoustic what do you plug the cord into! Plus it only has like to old rock songs it just doesn’t have what’s in now! Like come in people update already, it is just not worth your time in any way, shape, or form! I hate this app! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 Also I would rate it with 0 stars but it made me choose one. ### 1/5 — Original tones don’t work on new IOS 26 software *2026-02-19, version 2.3.12* All my favorite tones no longer play the original sounds once I updated my iPhone to the latest IOS 26 software. Please advise the fix. I tried removing and reinstall the app but I still have the issue. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work with new IPhone *2025-09-06, version 2.3.12* This app worked great with my old iPhone 13 but does not work with my new iPhone 16. It still works with my old iPad but not my phone and my adapter works fine. ### 1/5 — Slow *2025-08-31, version 2.3.12* The app worked ok up until 3 weeks ago, all of the amps have defaulted to Tonebridges default sounds. No updates in 2 years and also expects £20 a year subscription fee 😡🫣 ### 1/5 — 100 down to 0 *2025-08-19, version 2.3.12* When I first started using tone bridge i could listen to all of the original songs in the demo selector thing for the pedals but now I need a premium account to listen to the originals. Totally unfair! I liked it way more when I could experiment with the actual song rather than the same rock and roll loop over and over again. ### 1/5 — STATIC NOISE *2025-07-29, version 2.3.12* I get static no matter what I do ### 1/5 — Virtual keyboard doesn’t work *2025-07-04, version 2.3.12* Hi Ultimate Guitar guys. The app is perfect. I love it. However I’m re-rating it because of annoying bug. Maybe that would encourage you to fix it :-) On pedalboard properties screen - the virtual keyboard doesn’t work. It disappears immediately when you focus on pedalboard name. I can’t rename the board. I’m having load of „new pedalboard” sets. Stopped working when I have enabled airturn support. iPhone 16 Pro Max ### 1/5 — Su MacBook Air m4 si blocca *2025-05-06, version 2.3.12* Scaricata l app su MacBook Air m4 e non funziona. Si blocca immediatamente dopo che scelgo un preset ### 1/5 — Doesn’t worki *2025-04-14, version 2.3.12* It won’t work ### 1/5 — No input settigns makes this app useless *2025-03-05, version 2.3.12* There’s literally no settings to change input, with Scarlett solo 3rd gen it picks up the mic ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Lil Woodryc *2026-08-18, version 2.3.12* I think tone3000 should be added ### 5/5 — Great app, one gripe in recent years *2026-07-18, version 2.3.12* The app is amazing, it has almost every lead guitar tone you might want and it’s a near perfect app. save for one snag: For the past couple years it seems ALL of the demo snippets playing the original song ( it would be 5 second of someone playing the most recognizable bit of that guitars part using the preset, to better hear how well the tone matches) are gone. And no, not every song had them, but it was for years that all the major singles by most bands did have it and the number of overall songs with one was increasing all the time. I used to then recheck every few months for new ones that had a demo snippet of someone playing a few seconds of the song with the preset on, to save them. About 95% of the ones I saved had the “original” demo audio available. Now you can still see which ones HAD it, when you open them the demo preset is set to original, something you couldn’t do with ones that didn’t have it before and still can’t do now, but they just play one of the generic preset audios when you try to play it now. And when you bring the drop-down up they have the same (coming soon) as the ones that never had it now. Hoping they fix the original part demo library and expand on it once it’s fixed ### 5/5 — Release a VST3 version for pc !! *2026-06-16* Hey guys I need this as a VST3 for my PC. 🙏🏻 ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2026-05-24, version 2.3.12* I don’t leave reviews but this app is the best! I’ve been trying to replicate the tones of my favorite songs and this app gave me them and they sound amazing! ### 5/5 — O app é tão bom, que nem parece que existe! *2026-04-10* Incrível! Melhor aplicativo que eu poderia imaginar na vida! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-03-15, version 2.3.12* Incredible sounds ### 5/5 — Incrível *2026-03-09* Funciona muito bem, único problema é a microfonia, fora isso é perfeito, aconselho baixar.(Uso iRig 1° geração) ### 5/5 — Espetáculo *2026-02-27* Excelente, o melhor até agora ### 5/5 — Awesome App!!! *2026-02-02, version 2.3.12* This is the coolest app I have ever had the pleasure of using. As a serious guitar player of 40 yeas I have spent thousands of dollars and time trying to duplicate the exact tone of my idol’s and teachers, many many hours. Thank you for this app, really , it means so much to me to have an app like this especially as a “gift” when I get ahead I am donating something to you guys that’s a promise because this is priceless to a serious guitarist musician and SO SIMPLE and with an adapter I can run it into my iRig then through my stack. Your tone matching is beyond amazing. And the album art on the pedals !??? What a beautiful touch !!! Thank you so much !!! LOVE THIS !!! Best app ever !!! EVER ### 5/5 — Все работает iOS 26 *2026-01-22* В пункте управления источник! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
