8 of 25Nothing wrong with this app. Everything works well, just as described.
The iRig itself is pretty cool for live streaming or recording to an iPhone, and the app works ok for that, but the effects like overdrive and amp simulation on the app are horrific. It sounds like you plugged into a $5 temu amp. They also limit you to only one amp, two or three effects, and everything else is “Buy Now”. Also, it has some weird glitches. If you record into any app, when you play the audio back you have to close this app from the background, or your phone will play the audio back at like 1% volume. Its weird. I wouldn’t buy this thing for guitar effects or recording, only for a way to input a signal directly into an iPhone or iPad for live performances.
It’s not working, I plug my guitar but it’s barely any sound
Tried calling customer service with an issue and a couple questions. I got a recorded message on a loop saying to fill out the forms online and wait for them to contact me. I don’t spend time online and I’m not interested in filling out long forms and waiting days for a response. I felt with this issue with this company 2 years ago and go nowhere. Now I have another issue with something I downloaded in the past week and if I can’t get someone on the phone you might as well not have any customer service at all. No prompt customer service = no customer service. I grew up in a business. It did well because the customer service was top priority. Apparently that’s a lost sentiment anymore.
An app that comes with $150 piece of hardware should come with free basic software.
Revoked my email address and kept the money. Forcing me to buy everything i purchased all over again. You are bias and mean. Disrespectful dishonest and cruel. I want my purchases. And fyi. MY EMAIL ADDRESS HASENT CHANGED IN DECADES. CLOWNS
I bought the full version that includes all amps, which I believe costs $150. After a while it stopped working and IK Multimedia had me re-upload the app. After that my purchase of the complete version was not recognized and I could not access all amps. IK support told me to re-purchase and they would populate for free. A bit skeptical, I did not want to take a chance on losing another $150, so I tried to buy a “SVT pack” for $25; it did not repopulate but instead charged me another $25. Stay away from this app, unless you like to get ripped off AND have an app that does not work properly
I was trying to setup an iRig HD 2. But the interface in the app doesn’t fit in my iPhone screen. The edges of the app were cut off so menus were unusable. Very frustrating.
