User Reviews

Reviewers consistently praise iWAVESTATION for its rich, distinctive Wavestation sounds and a detailed, informative UI. The ability to use it as an AUv3 plugin is highly valued, and the app is favored for live performance. However, multiple reviews point to serious drawbacks: the absence of AUv3 in many cases, instability with Inter-app Audio, and patch reliability issues (silent waveforms). Some users also find the UI not fully optimized for iPad and note limited DAW integration without AUv3. Overall, a powerful synth hampered by DAW integration and stability gaps.
Pros
  • Exceptional, distinctive Wavestation sounds with deep, rewarding sound design.
  • Informative, unique UI that presents more detail and control than the original hardware.
  • AUV3/Audio Units support enables use as a DAW plugin and improves workflow when available.
  • Strong suitability for live performance and portable use, with professional appeal for on-the-go musicians.
Cons
  • Lack of AUv3 support is a major limitation and a frequent point of frustration for DAW users.
  • Inter-app Audio (IAA) crashes and instability reduce reliability in DAWs and mobile workflows.
  • Some patches/waveforms output no sound or are intermittently silent, indicating patch reliability issues.
  • UI is not full-screen on iPad and feels dated compared with modern apps, hindering usability for some.
  • Limited direct DAW integration (e.g., GarageBand/Logic) and recording workflow without AUv3 support or better I/O routing.
Recent reviews
Crashes consistently when trying to use the Pan page in any auv3 host. Deletes your work when it crashes. The bug has lasted for months. Pan page works fine in standalone. Otherwise the synth is outstanding; there’s nothing like it on PC, much less iOS. Touchscreen makes for a pretty great wave sequencing interface.

Every preset is the same. But it’s supposed to be all the old ones that came with it but I wish newer wave tables also came with it.
