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)

tried to use this with an ipad and a behringer audio interface. after guessing my way through the dozens of idiotic hieroglyphs blindly i found the setting that had already recognized the interface for both audio input and outputs but would not record, monitor, or playback any sounds after hitting record and or play... pretty terrible programming. maybe if you want to spend 2 weeks watching youtube tutorials this app could work but i'm not wasting any more of my sanity with it. also similar problem with using a bluetooth midi device and going through the midi learn steps in the app... the app refuses to respond even though the device is paired and works with other brands daws same as the audio interface. i didn't even need the full bs 29 minutes of a free trial to find out this app is complete trash. get loopy pro or garbage band instead where everything actually works without the headaches and the UI designed by people that can't read or write in english.
