## Review summary

Reviewers praise the app’s premium mastering quality and mobile usability, often calling it worth the price when stable. However, repeated crashes, licensing headaches, opaque pricing, and outdated maintenance dominate feedback. Import/export and file-handling issues further frustrate users. If IK can fix crashes, streamline licensing, clarify pricing, and improve file handling and updates, the app has strong potential.

### Pros

- Outstanding mastering quality that makes tracks sound bright, professional and warm.
- Mobile-friendly mastering that works straight from your iPhone/iPad.
- Perceived value when it runs smoothly; many reviewers call it worth the price.
- Useful export/share options (can export to Files or send via email).
- Sound improvements scale with the mix, so better source mixes yield better masters.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability (crashes on startup, during import, or when loading songs).
- Login/registration/licensing frustrations (repeated prompts, difficulty restoring purchases).
- High and unclear pricing with confusing upgrade paths and additional costs to access full features.
- Lack of timely updates and maintenance (not updated in years despite price).
- File handling and import/export issues (difficulty importing from Music Library/Files; exports going to iTunes folder or inaccessible locations).
