User Reviews

Reviews converge on a strong full-version DAW with solid Steinberg support, but the LE edition is overly restricted and costly. Main downsides are hidden hardware requirements, missing core features (projects, MIDI/imports, plugins), instability, and a steep price for additional tools. The app shows potential as a capable mobile DAW, especially on older iPads, yet LE users face significant barriers that many reviewers feel undermine value.

Pros

Steinberg’s reputation and responsive support (noted as ultra-responsive in forums)
Full Cubasis offers powerful, feature-rich DAW capabilities (e.g., freezing, automation, chord pads)
Usable on older iPads, indicating good device compatibility

Cons

High price with paywalls and upsell for additional instruments/features (e.g., $50 for more instruments)
LE edition is not a true Light Edition—30-minute resets, limited features, no AU hosting, acts like a storefront/demo
Core LE limitations hinder music creation (no new projects, limited MIDI import, no plugins, no easy app-to-app integration)
Hard to use without compatible hardware (requires supported hardware, camera adapter, and power; not always obvious)
Stability issues and performance problems (crashes when importing, slow loads, reliability concerns)

Recent reviews

This app for what it is, is amazing.

This game has so much potential for everybody who plays it. I’m not that good at it so I didn’t really know how to create music and I’m just kind of sad. It’d be much nicer if you could add a simpler version oh also if you the owner replies on my message, please say yes or no to making a simple simpler version. Thank you. Peace out.
