User Reviews

K7D is a top-tier, characterful tape delay with lush sound and a beautiful UI, delivering strong value and creative versatility. Reviewers praise its warmth and flutter, and the developer’s active support. However, stability problems, heavy CPU usage, and fragmented platform/input routing across iPhone/iPad and integrations are frequently cited drawbacks. Some older devices also show artifacts. It shines in studio contexts when running smoothly, but caution is advised for live use on older hardware or with complex setups.
Pros
  • Excellent tape-delay sound with rich character and wow/flutter, not just another delay
  • Great value for money (sub-$20) with top-tier quality
  • Beautiful, intuitive UI and sleek workflow that fosters creativity
  • Highly versatile tool with strong creative potential across genres
  • Active developer support and ongoing communication/reliability from the team
Cons
  • Crashes and data loss on larger projects or certain devices, impacting stability
  • High CPU usage that can cause audio glitches, not ideal for live performance
  • Inconsistent cross-device/platform behavior (iPhone vs iPad) and multiple input-routing issues
  • Input integration problems (no clear input selection; Audiobus/AudioShare/GarageBand routing quirks)
  • Presets can cause pops/clicks on older devices and some hardware limitations

For the price this is top tier. Best delay on iOS sub 20 bucks.

I happen to see this on AppRaven (I have had this app for years) and it’s one of the BEST out there! Don’t get me wrong there are other AMAZING DEEP and VERY good sounding “Tape Delays” but this has the LOOK and FEEL one needs who grew up using 24 tape tricks to get Delays, Flange, Phase etc before all the rack mount gear and pedals and now PLUGINS! I always ask myself, if I had ALL THIS technology back when I was first learning the trade off engineering, how freaking far advanced would I be? Bc let’s face it, bf plugins, effects were big $$$ and no young musician has money! I see all the FREE lessons, all the free guitar scale and chord programs and apps… and I think MY GOD how good would I be? Then I realize, it would be the same as now, bc YES there is so many ways to learn for free… there is also so many KILLER games to play, killer things to check out, so many amazing content videos… that I being ADHD would not have as much knowledge as I have doing it “old school”
