Impressed Enough to Subscribe
Jul 24

I have a serious aversion to subscriptions on iOS/iPadOS due to Apple’s App Store policies. I am making a rare exception for Audulus 4. The amount of work and love Taylor has sowed in is extraordinary. So intuitive and easy to use, seriously thank you Taylor. Being left handed I find the interface to be acceptable except when switching from Performance Mode to Edit and back. A dedicated button in the top right interface panel instead of the slide out would be quite helpful. Try navigating with your left hand and you’ll notice your hand blocks the view. Thanks again, I have purchased each iteration, 1,2,3 and now 4. ❤️

Patches, where are all the user patches?

I have changed my rating. Support was very helpful. It would be five stars if not for the lack of documentation. I realize this is a lot to ask of a developer but an app like this needs more comprehensive documentation. It is obviously a catch-22. I want to love this app. It’s so pretty and sounds nice. My problem is there appears to be no way to bring user patches into the AUv3 version. I don’t see a link or button. The app opens the factory patches, but not the examples I downloaded from the forum and patchstorage. Maybe I am missing something. It should be obvious in the UI, but it is not. It’s said both iPad and Mac version are available for single purchase (if I understand this right). The desktop version never connects to restore purchases. Very frustrating. Help! I want to keep this app. If I can’t bring my patches into AUv3 in AUM, there is no reason to keep it. Not interested in the limited number of factory presets. I don’t want ask for a refund. But almost $20 bucks is nothing to scoff at. Please don’t make me ask for a refund.

Thanks for updating your review Kurt52! We really appreciate it. If you can email us and let us know exactly what documentation is missing, we can fix that and hopefully bump this up to a 5-star :)----Hi Kurt! There are a couple ways you can bring patches into the AUv3 - one is to copy and paste, and the other is to drop them in from the file browser. If you come over to our Discord or send us a message at our support@audulus.com email, we can help walk you through this. I'll be making a video about it today, actually!As far as not reconnecting to restore purchases, I don't believe that's a problem on our end. All you need to do to get around that is click "buy" again - it won't charge you twice.In the future, I really recommend using our support channels for support questions - reviews are a place to give your impression of an app, not to ask for help. I understand you had some frustration, but I don't remember you reaching out to us to ask for help through any of our channels - and there's almost always someone online 24/7 on our Discord as well.In short, we want to help you have a good experience, but it's impossible to troubleshoot problems in an app store review. I hope once we solve this issue for you that you'll come back and adjust your rating of Audulus to reflect your feelings about it after using it for a while. Thank you!

Audulus is a visual tool for creating and manipulating sound. With a large selection of fundamental nodes and an even larger set of library modules, Audulus provides a wide variety of building blocks to create almost any synth or audio effect you can imagine. An active user community provides user contributed patches and modules as well as helpful advice. Version 4 has added many new features such as a graphical canvas and DSP node programmable in Lua, a shader node, MIDI I/O and other enhancements. The app continues to improve with each update. Ten out of ten!

Why Would I Pay for MIDI I/O?
May 15

Guru uvula splat
It’s difficult to imagine why the developer thinks MIDI functionality should be behind a paywall. Have you looked at any other iOS music apps lately? Ever? Also, the persistent banner in the upper right corner urging users to upgrade to Pro is annoying. Make this smaller, minimizable, or make it disappear after the app is open for a few minutes. In-product help is totally absent, except for a fairly uninstructive tutorial. Figure out some kind of documentation- a tooltip or two would go a long ways. What happened to the long-hold menu with options like ‘Help’? Hard to see that this is much of an improvement for the typical user, beyond the slightly nicer looking UI.
