  1. 4/5Need Help from Team

    The app itself works decently with good sound quality, but I recently made a purchase for Miroslav Philharmonik. It started downloading, but then it stopped. I tried to restart the app. When I went in, it said download, but when I pressed it, it said that I had to pay for it again. Please fix this.

  2. 1/5IK Multimedia Products Are Junk!!!! BUY NO MORE!!!

    This App crashes all the time! On an Ipad PRO, M1 chip, 16 GB RAM, 2 TB Storage. Yes, the App is "free", but is actually "cripple-ware", where you can use a few patches for trial purposes, but the bulk of patches are disabled. The problem comes in when they allow you to buy their IAP sound packs (just spent $30 on two packs). BUT, due to the constant CRASHING of the APP, I had no choice but to request a refund for the IAP packs, which was denied!!!!! Shame on you APPLE and IK Multimedia for your unethical business practices!!! But, GOD sees you and will balance the scales. (Like any day now!)

  3. 3/5Major Crash issue, someone help??

    Hi, ive been using sampletank for months now. Ive invested alot of money into it you guys have awesome libraries that help me creatively take the next step and i couldn't be more thankful! Recently i updated my Iphone 7. And after the newest update, Sampletank automatically crashes whenever i try and adjust the “attack and release & inst volume & pan etc” knobs. Ive tried uninstalling it, changing instrument packs. Restarting my phone etc... and no solution. Ive sent 3 emails to your support team and its been a little over a week since i sent them and still have no reply. Please, i expect to buy new things on sampletank very very soon. But i just cant until i know that this solution can be fixed!

  4. 5/5Great app

    Hi can you look into this issue with ios 12 I can’t edit none of the sounds you can’t adjust the volume or no other functions as soon as you touch the volume the app will crash thanks

  5. 3/5Good sounds, but would be better with audio unit extension

    This software and sound pack came with an irig keyboard I bought. I like a lot of the string and piano sounds. They’re clear and accurate. However, the experience has some problems. There’s a clunky recorder function in the upper right corner that never works quite right, and only highlights the fact that there isn’t audio units support to record more comfortably in a different DAW. Hopefully, this will be in a future update Also, I don’t like the “nickel and dime” in app purchase model. It’s not offensive with nag screens, but I just want to play the instruments I have, not look at things I don’t want or need
