User Reviews

Iconica Sketch offers strong, scalable orchestral sounds and a clear mobile workflow, with solid DAW integration and value for money. Frequent drawbacks are the heavy library download, missing instrumental options (solo strings, choir), stability and compatibility issues, a dark UI, and room for improvement in search and MIDI/velocity controls.

Pros

High-quality orchestral timbres on iOS, praised for realistic sounds.
Great for quick sketching and mobile scoring with a clear, easy-to-use interface.
AUv3/DAW integration enables use inside compatible hosts (e.g., Cubasis, AUM).
Good value for money and perceived price-to-feature quality.

Cons

Very large library download (about 1.8 GB) and related install/storage issues.
Missing features such as solo strings and choral/ensemble patches.
Stability/compatibility problems across devices and DAWs (e.g., sound sometimes won't play, switch bugs).
UI readability concerns (dark, low-contrast UI and small text).
Search/organization and MIDI/velocity controls could be improved.

Recent reviews

In the few times I have opened and played the library of instruments in the Iconica Sketch standalone app, switching from instruments has shown an unfortunate flaw in the app. Previously selected instruments will carry into new instrument selections, instead of clearing the selection to load the new. This requires closing and reopening the app to resolve.

I was expecting layered orchestra sounds, massive, beautiful sounds. It’s just a bunch of individual sounds, like clarinet, bassoon, etc. It’s very, very, very basic. I have no idea why I bought this, I kind of want a refund.
