## Review summary

The app delivers top-tier tones and a rich, flexible feature set, especially in standalone use or with hardware. But lack of AUv3 and ongoing stability/DAW issues are the core drawbacks, along with workflow gaps that limit live/DAW use.

### Pros

- Excellent guitar tones and modeling; widely praised for sound quality.
- Extremely expansive and customizable; supports importing custom amps, mic options, and expansion packs.
- Easy to use and great for creativity and jam sessions.
- Strong hardware integration; works well with external gear like FRFR setups and BlueBoard.
- Solid factory presets and a strong starting point for players.

### Cons

- No AUv3 / iPad DAW support; limited DAW integration.
- Stability issues: crashes, glitches, disconnects, and sporadic audio problems.
- Inconsistent external interface compatibility and background playback limitations (some interfaces not recognized; background playback issues with certain apps).
- Workflow gaps: missing easy dual-channel toggle, inability to assign iPad as an effect toggle, limited MIDI button labeling, and lack of straightforward footswitch control.
- DAW-specific instability when used as a plugin in some DAWs; not reliably stable in DAW environments.
