### 4/5 — Randomise

*2026-05-27*

Love the sounds but the last time I used it, the randomise feature just changes to a different preset rather than randomising the parameters for some crazy stuff!

### 4/5 — Great synth!

*2026-02-22*

This sounds so good, runs great on M5 iPad Pro. A lot of fun to play! If I had two requests, it would be to have a longer sequencer and to have longer release envelopes(20 seconds might be enough for some, but I like to make chill out meditative drones, and I would love to see release envelopes up to 60 seconds. Maybe in a future synth you make? Pretty please?) Still, a fantastic synth, so great job to the developer, thanks for your amazing work! Love it!!!

### 4/5 — Viral keyboard

*2026-02-09, version 1.2.1*

The sounds are nice After 10 minutes of navigation I am wondering if it is capable of doing midi .. if so then yes I would give it 5 stars

### 4/5 — Great app with some bugs

*2026-01-28*

Apps really solid for the price but I’ve noticed an issue while using midi with the app. 
Sending panic audio stop commands (for me it’s just double tapping the stop button on my controller) causes the app to reset to the default patch that’s loaded when you first boot, ignoring prog change CCs that are in effect.

Other than that I’ve had little to no problems with the app that can’t be explained by the fact that I’m using an iPhone 12 mini, stuff like ui cutting off at the notch and some of the ui elements not being super responsive to touch (reverb and delay button take a few tries to trigger for some reason.)

### 5/5 — Great Plugin

*2026-01-18*

Quite good sounds, fantastic value-for-money. May I suggest to enhance the user experience by enabling the preset navigation by the midi learn function?

### 5/5 — Best Value Synth

*2026-01-09, version 1.1.1*

Best group of presets for the value. Useable presets that work in song writing. Totally adjustable.

### 5/5 — Thanks by iOS 14 support !!

*2025-12-31*

Thanks by your works and iPhone version !!

🛸 🌞ура , Полетели  !

### 5/5 — Best of it's class bass synth!

*2025-12-31, version 1.1.1*

Another AudioKit banger :)

### 5/5 — Amazing music tool for the price!

*2025-12-28, version 1.1.1*

Another easy to use and powerful music tool!

### 5/5 — Spaßgerät mit 1000 Levels

*2025-12-26*

ich finde diese Apps großartig, weil sie kaum etwas kosten, aber einfach direkt viel Spaß machen. Und wenn man Lust hat, kann man sich stundenlang in die totale Komplexität hinein vertiefen.

### 5/5 — Hit after hit free m this developer

*2025-12-24, version 1.1.1*

My fave vst / synth and tool developer !

### 5/5 — Bargain

*2025-12-23*

Considering the cost of an actual Access Virus synth this app although not identical offer so much value for money and it’s just cool fun, love it😎

### 5/5 — OMG! So much FUN!

*2025-12-17, version 1.1.1*

Update: 333mb?! It’s not just a synth. It must have samples or they used a ‘mammoth’ high level (read big, fat with with wasteful code) code in modules or something. A synth only uses like 30mb-70mb. 333mb there is something going on. I don’t have room for it on my cell phone.—-
Just reading through everything on the App Store, I about wet myself with excitement. A ‘no brainer’ buy in my book. Right out of the virtual box, all default settings and preset. Hit HOLD and slowly put in 4 note’s playing on their harmonics and we’re off and running! Sound creation heaven with a pattern. Both a musicians and a ‘tinkerer’s ‘delight. It’s all right here. No need to go farther. <Get it on sale folks! I did. :-)>

### 5/5 — A really great synth for my iPad

*2025-12-15*

I mainly use a lot of hardware synths, and the iPad is a kind of expander for me. In this use case, the Viral is a perfect addition to my setup. The sound is astonishingly dense, lush, and versatile, and of very high quality. You can't go wrong with this little masterpiece.

### 1/5 — arp not synced

*2026-06-05*

the midi sync toggle has no effect. sad this wasn’t thoroughly tested before release

### 1/5 — LFO doesn’t work anymore

*2026-04-30, version 1.3*

LFO stops working when you hit play, after the last update.

### 1/5 — Langweilig! Hört sich an wie jedes andere free Plugin!

*2026-02-15*

Ich bin ein Profi! Eine Nachricht an den Entwickler: Die Filter klingen schlecht! Funktionen gibt es genug aber das Teil klingt eben zu sehr nach Plugin und nicht nach Hardware! Hall und Delay Effekte klingen auch zu digital! Es muss mehr nach Analog klingen! Zum rumspielen ist okay aber für echte Produktionen würde ich es nicht benutzen! Sorry

### 1/5 — Lots of Bugs

*2026-02-06*

Doesnt work properly.

### 1/5 — MIDI & Sync Issue

*2025-12-30*

eine tolle app aber leider nur stand alone nutzbar. innerhalb von AUM findet keine synchronisierung statt. die app empfängt zwar midi noten aber es scheinbt keinerlei clocking zu geben. der app interne seq oder arp läuft völlig losgelöst von der daw. weiterhin treten ständig dropouts auf, die eine einbindung in somgs verhindern. startet man die app stand alone, gibt es keine externe midi anbindung zu anderen apps im stand alone modus. man kann weder midi ins noch outs definieren. es werden keine anderen midi apps angezeigt. auch der viral synth taucht in keinen anderen midi apps als quelle oder ziel auf. macht leider überhaupt keinen sinn.

### 1/5 — Crashes in learn midi mode

*2025-11-30, version 1.1.1*

Can’t really evaluate this because it crashes when in midi learn mode

### 1/5 — Crash city

*2025-09-29, version 1.0*

Audio crashes every 3 presets causing you to have to close and open the app. Super Annoying

### 3/5 — feels like a reskin of nerd synth with different waveforms and less presets

*2025-12-30*

I was excited to see if there was anything extra here to make it have the viral sound … but sadly I think it’s just the extra waveforms, third LFO, and trance gate that was added. And one new reverb algorithm?
It’s not terrible, but I am slightly regretful that I bought it. was hoping with all the pristine reviews that it had something new that made it more like a virus.

### 3/5 — Ожидал большего от платного приложения

*2025-11-03*

При работе половина патчей не играют, из под Camelot pro не сохраняются в сетапах выбранные патчи. Вывод: данное платное приложение не пригодно для профессионального использования. Не рекомендую.

### 3/5 — Weird sounds. More like sound effects.

*2025-10-07*

Overall the synth is well done but the patches are more like weird sound effects. Very few usable patches. I was hoping for more uplifting ethereal sounds. 
I like this app series overall, this one not so much.

### 5/5 — Another home run by Analog Matthew

*2026-07-13*

App says Audiokit pro, I click buy. End of story. You should do the same if you want the best sounding synths on the App Store. Like Pokémon… Gotta collect them all!

### 5/5 — Absolute Killer Synth that everybody should have in their soft synthesiser arsenal!

*2026-06-26*

Really awesome sounds, lots of sound design options, exceptionally fair price and does way more than you would think at first glance.

### 5/5 — virALus

*2026-04-23*

Now everbody can hear why the TI2 was such a remarkabel synth for trance, techno etc..

### 5/5 — Great program

*2026-04-04*

I’ve been using this program for about 4 months that’s the first version 2 a lot of great sound similar to my Juno 60 this version is no disappointment keep up the good work

### 5/5 — Such a joy to play with and experiment

*2026-04-03*

I’m a guitar player but I’ve also always been fascinated by the breadth of sonic possibilities of synths since the albums I was buying in the 1970s onwards. While the synths of those days were hugely expensive and equally too intimidating to ever consider experimenting with, this one is joyously neither. As my own 70s are on the horizon soon, this is going to keep me very happy and musically productive until I drop.

### 5/5 — Surprised at the Quality

*2026-02-23, version 1.2.1*

Always wanted an Access Virus synth. I never got one but this thing is very realistic, fatness wise.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-02-15, version 1.2.1*

Just getting started with this well rounded app fills many holes in my musical needs

### 5/5 — GREAT sounds across the board :-)

*2026-02-13, version 1.2.1*

Dear AudioKit, 
Way to go….
keep up the excellent work!

### 5/5 — Viral synth tx2

*2026-02-06*

Instantly inspiring just buy it esp at current price.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-01-25*

I use FL Studio mobile mostly, and this is a game changer
