(I will edit if I get a reply)As the title says, I absolutely love this app. I still I use it. People say that my set up sounds professional, even though I’m using my phone, which is amazing to hear, but I’m going to copy and paste something that has been an issue with me and that needs fixed. after an iOS update, the issue hasn’t been fixed and after multiple Dropbox updates, the issues still hasn’t been fixed.“Well, has the subject title says I am not able to back up presents to Dropbox and in fact, I’ve waited with nothing but a continuous loop for an hour trying to back up to Dropbox and yes, I troubleshooted the problem as well.I unlinked dropbox, I uninstalled dropbox reinstalled it re-linked it and tried to do it with the same issue. I only waited 15 minutes this time, and then I decided to uninstall Dropbox again sign out of BiasFX 2 mobile re-sign into it after I downloaded dropbox again, and I am still unable to back up presets from BiasFX 2 mobile to Dropbox.”

I picked up the Positive Grid RIFF and wanted a way to use it on my iPad, it came with BIAS FX 2 LE. It was pretty limited but good enough to pay for the upgrade. I have been very happy with the purchase. There is far more potential for guitar tones than I will ever use. I tend to fine a couple tones that work and stick with them. I’m just “noodle” around and am not recording or playing anywhere but my room. My wishlist of it is to be able to utilize my Tonecloud account for my Spark 40, also to be able to use this in split screen since if the app isn’t the active app it cuts out. I expect that is a limitation of the iPad and not the software. Ideally it would be able to be split screen with my tabs on one side. Better yet would be able to put to the background or mini window and still be active while a PDF or browser is on screen to allow to utilize it along with sheet music on screen as well. This is the only reason I gave it 4 vs 5 stars.

Sounds Great But Buggy

The sounds are very pleasing, the app has great potential, m issues are the mobile cloud app freezes up if you select a preset that has an effect that is only compatible the desktop. Why these yackoffs haven’t fixed this issue over all this time is beyond my comprehension, it make the cloud experience almost unbearable, as you have to restart the app every time you come across a desktop only preset.This makes you have to sat your search all over again. I wish the DEVs would pull there heads out of there bums and wipe the poo out of there eyes and fix this major issue.Also the app needs a pre delay box or knob that can be used on any effect or amp.Th splitter has time delay but the application does not allow you to use it before the amp only after .If these Devs would implement pre delay setting in the effects and amps this would really double the amount of sounds we could program.

I love this app,i use it everyday,it is well worth the money,i used the free trial and was so amazed with the sound and all the effects that i had to purchase the elite pakage(again,it is well worth it IMO) also with the bias amp app brings it to a whole other level of creativity and sound,i can bring my ipad,irig hd2 ,guitar and a bluetooth/portable speaker and litteraly jam heavy face smashing tones anywhere “is that kerry king i hear outside”? Nope just me at the park on the bias fx2 app ..i love how i can jam with out needing an amp/pedals or electrical outlets(as long as ipad and speaker are charged of course) but its truly a remarkable app and only thing id do different is id of gotten it earlier,im not a company rep nor do i get anything for this review im a regular dude who loves to whale on his axe and with 20 yrs exp and at 37 yrs old ,this app saves me time money energy and space, glad i can worry only about “headphones or speaker?” TLDR: GET THIS APP!
