2026-03-22	Mr*****	There is a newer version of this synth available. As of 22 MAR 2026 the product description of this synth does not state that fact. I was denied a refund twice by Apple in spite of this. Additionally, the developer would not help with a promo code to get the later version, which THEY ARE able to do at no cost to themselves. Due to this I will not buy nor recommend any of this developers products on any platform in the future.

2025-02-09	Ed*****	I absolutely LOVE this virtual synth!! It sounds incredible, and programming on it is a joy … If it had a few updates like adding last/high priority for mono patches, or increased polyphony to 8 voices, I’d rate it 5 stars because I use it that much 🙏🏾

2024-08-23	cl*****	I bought this just a month before version 3 came out, there is no upgrade path provided, this often takes the form of an upgrade bundle with both versions included where the price is discounted if you already own one of the versions. Would appreciate that very much and leaving this as a warning this is the old version. I actually bought their complete bundle with four titles originally. This was the only really interesting thing in it imo unless you’re into chiptune retro. I think this version does sound quite Oberheimish and the competitor is Korg Gadget Phoenix which also does the job. Would like to hear the new version please.

2023-01-30	Fe*****	Ever since I was a kid, I was obsessed with the sound of the Oberheim Ob X series , so I had to get this as soon as I noticed it in the App Store. It is exactly as awesome as I hoped for…mostly. I know the GUI has been optimized for the iPhone now and is much improved from earlier versions. There is one issue though… when using it as an AU in GarageBand, I can not access the last two banks as if I try to scroll down , the bottom two banks are cut off, and one of those banks is the empty one for user presets. Now the work around for the other is to enter standalone mode, choose the preset and hit “copy” load up a “default” preset in one of the few accessible banks that have one, and then hit paste in the menu. The tricky part is, if you forget to load up a default preset first, you’ll accidentally overwrite the loaded preset. That is the legit only issue I have but it’s kind of a big one

2022-10-28	Br*****	Thanks for this update. Now the app is usable on an iPhone, even though I can't read a single word on the unit - at least I can access presets and the menu. Original Feedback: Simply not usable on an iPhone. You need a magnifying glass to even see the controls, and you NEED those as the presets just auto-scroll from the first 20 to the last 20, missing the bulk of presets in the middle. How anyone can charge money for such a waste of time and not be banned from the app store is a mystery. This is a super pathetic excuse for an app.

2022-10-08	Fi*****	I owned the original OBXA back in 1978. This version is so realistic, I get to shut my eyes and remember great memories of Music School. This is the closest iOS, VST, Au emulation there is in my opinion. Not only 5 stars, but 10 stars of gratitude and awe on how you managed to create this so realistic version of a Monster Synth. A big thank you!
