User Reviews

Users largely praise Mellowsound for its authentic vintage sounds and strong layering/export capabilities, plus responsive support. The dominant negatives are stability crashes, AUv3/DAW integration problems, difficulty quitting the app, MIDI input detection issues, and value concerns due to limited presets and range. Addressing stability, DAW compatibility, and UI/MIDI issues would address the most frequent feedback.

Pros

Excellent, authentic vintage-inspired sounds (mellotron/Flute) that many reviewers praise.
High-quality sounds with strong capabilities for layering and exporting tracks.
Positive customer support and responsiveness from Fingerlab.
App has a distinctive retro vibe and character that many users enjoy.
Overall sound design and playability are highly regarded despite issues mentioned elsewhere.

Cons

Frequent crashes and stability issues across devices and after updates.
AUv3/DAW compatibility and recognition problems (AUM, NanoStudio 2, inter-app audio) leading to poor integration.
Inability to close or exit the app easily; user interface issues like keyboard obscuring controls or being off-screen.
MIDI inputs not being recognized by the app, limiting external control.
Perceived value concerns: limited presets and octave range, with some users feeling the price isn’t justified by features.

Recent reviews

If you make music on garage band and you like prog rock then this is the app for you even if you dont have the premium the 3 presets you get are cool and you can have 2 tape tracks play at the same time

I wish it covered more octaves…but still enjoy the sound. Now, I have loaded it on my new iPhone Air………It doesn’t allow me to play it, that goes for your synth apps too! Also, it doesn’t allow me to restore my purchase…Fingerlab! PLEASE FIX YOUR APPS!
