    Terrific app for songwriters and musicians
    Riffles is a super creative music app for any guitar player, songwriter or music producer. Somehow programmer Jonathan Bell has encoded the wisdom and experience of the most versatile virtual session guitar player ever. Riffles can create riffs of chords, leads, bass parts or even synth parts in a wide range of styles from Classic Rock to Blues to Metal (and all its incarnations) to Funk, EDM, Ambient, you name it. There’s a full set of parameters you can control to determine the style, key, tempo, rate of bends, vibrato, chords, runs, scales and also amps & effects. Then click the generate button and you’ve got something that will sound decent and can be further customized. This is great for songwriting, for laying down some guitar tracks as audio or MIDI. The developer has been updating the app regularly and also has a MacOS / Windows VST in the works. It’s a great app from a developer who is doing something that is extremely valuable to any songwriter. Plus it’s on sale for the price of a big city beer. Show more

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!
    I had recently made a review two nights ago and only gave this app 4 stars because of an audio exporting issue. Now that issue is resolved, I feel 100% comfortable giving this awesome app 5 stars! Thank you so much for one of, if not, the best app I’ve ever used! :D Show more

    Fantastic Upgrade!
    Really enjoying messing around with this. Honestly, watching videos made by the creator and other YouTubers hasn’t really helped me as much as just messing with it and exploring its capabilities. I’ve been able to apply this in orchestral music (staccato strings), EDM (running synth stabs) and lots of other instruments in genres thanks to the new ability to run in AUv3. While there are lots of things this app can do, one thing I wanted that I haven’t figured out yet is how to use this as a basic acoustic guitar sound. That’s originally what I got the app for. I’ve been able to do so many amazing things besides that. I don’t know if I’m missing something or if it’s just that it isn't what this app aims to do. (Although it would be nice if added since I literally can’t find a single acoustic guitar generator.) I can highly recommend this app despite my lack of an acoustic setup with it. It does what it does really, really well and has reached far beyond what I expected to use this app for, mostly. Show more

    WOW!
    Just got it and never thought I’d add such hot guitar licks to my homemade sessions. Been though a lot of apps and my quest has ended,it’s home with me and I thank the developers for making my 85 birthday a rockin event. Fun and satisfying, go get it don’t wait it’s the answer to a sax and keyboarders dream Show more

    THE UPDATED UPDATE FIXES DANG NEAR EVERYTHING
    2.0 scared me and made me angry. i wrote a childish review instead of just messaging the developer and letting them know my thoughts on v2.0 like a normal person who was addicted to v1 v2.05 may be the most fun ive ever had using the app ever. the oddly realistic guitar tones from v1 are almost back to normal, but i feel like theyve been improved in most ways, not to mention the insane amount of new tones and effects. everything is much more fluid, i used to attempt to manipulate the app to perform in more of a live jam manner. it was impossible. but now? holy cow. i feel like after just a few hours of tinkering and exploring the new design, i could convince one of the old clubs i used to play at to let me do a one man band jammer for the evening while singing adlibbed vocals about various liqour obsessions, 100 length cancer sticks, fast automobiles, pet dander and former relationship partners. i could go on and on about what drives me absolutely wild with this app but id rather just say that the magic of it is still here and i have a feeling its only gonna get better with user suggestions and ideas so heres a few things that im gonna nitpick just for the curiousity to find out if they are even possible due to the incredible job the developer has done despite our nasty and sullen reviews of the pretweaked and rather buggy update that has now been fixed: 1) the EXTREME "Black" styling is near perfect. ive never witnessed such an accomplishment in an iOS app. id like to see a few more variants of "Black" to allow for easier creation of the more epic side of the genre as opposed to every click of the create button making a riff that is almost the same as the last but different enough to be considered as an excellent transition (this suggestion is merely a specific example of how there could maybe be a touch more variation within the individual style setting buttons, instead of every press of the template sounding like the same band wrote it. Its amazing, but thats the only improvement i could foresee it having) 2) while the ability to wildly exaggerate the drum parts by mixing up the different advanced time signatures is a super fun way to create actual drum parts, it would be convenient and nice to eventually have a simple 3 or 4 track drum sequencer or even just some styled preset measures of different drum loops to randomize or punch in some more suitable percussion variations outside of the kick and snare, metronome and hihat separately. or maybe just the option for some drum fills on 2 or 4 to fall in with the magnificent "Runs" feature? in a perfect world, a preset drum loop for each of the various genre presets would probably be the best and easiest request to make everyone happy with the drum side of the app. a million blessings to the developer for adding a drum volume knob. its absence in v1 was the only flaw i ever felt strongly about before. 3) i wanted to critcize the guitar tones somehow, but honestly im loving them. the new ones are great and the dynamic contrast between them makes experimenting with each as the riff plays ALOT OF FUN, however with quick movements, sometimes the buttons for them seem a bit cramped or dont always trigger when touched. maybe the areas of the screen that trigger each at are too close together or maybe the areas programmed for to reconize the touch arent big enough? or maybe in my excitement i cant hit it properly, i dunno but it would be cool if all the grouped buttons on some of the pages throughout the program on the new layout had just a tad more room to ensure the user is touching and activating the intended setting. 4) love the addition of the knobs, the way they adjust is beyond that of big name paid apps, but the lack of specific time divisions or "hard settings" like in v1 with preset delay modes is kinda difficult to dial in. maybe this is because its designed around tempo syncing with a daw? if thats the case ignore this request but i just want a quick way to dial in something familiar to the v1's "rhythmic delay" or maybe a feedback adjustment as well instead of the combined time/feedback single knob (expertly done by the way, the taper of each is perfect, would just be cooler if there was a way to work the two parameters separately if desired) 5) mr developer: please consider charging all of us money for these pro level features youve created. you would be surprised at the positive ramifications amassed from a small or even large amount of payment for quality app work such as this. just imagine the feeling of accomplishment money will give you in our overtly capitalist society. but whatever you do, PLEASE NEVER evolve this into a sudden subscription style setup. you probably werent even considering that, but i wanted to be the first to speak up on the subject since it seems to be a popular trend in some really solid apps these days, rendering them completely worthless valuewise. ill continue to update my review as you continue to tweak your newly evolved creation. i shall continuously thank you and annoyingly praise you for your hard work. im also higher than a dualstring kite on a windy beach right now so CHEERS! RIFFLER FOR LIFE! ---gatedfuzz Show more

    Super Fun & High Quality Generation Everytime
    This app is amazing! You can set a ton of parameters and have it create one great sounding guitar riff after the next. Easily export the midi, or audio to use in your favorite DAW/Host and trigger any sounds you want. The audio is quality as well, so use the loops if you like too. Everything it creates is yours to use anyway you would like to use it. Use it to practice guitar, or create original music. There’s so many genres of music to select from, and different parameters to set, ie key, scale, tempo, rhythm, tuning, character, gaps, etc.. or randomize everything and see what you get. It’s unreal how fun this is but also how many great riffs it pumps out. I literally save/favorite almost every single one. If you play guitar or make music I highly recommend this app. Top notch and well worth the money! Update - now with AUv3 10 Stars! Show more

    Great app! But, I do have a suggestion.
    I like this app, it’s great! But, I really don’t like the new look. I just prefer the old design. I don’t think I could get used to the new design. Please, change the design back. Thanks! Show more

    What!?
    Dev really stepped this app up.
  • Thirdnail, 12.10.2022
    OMG what happened? The guitars sound awful, the layout is a nightmare!
    I literally used this app EVERY SINGLE DAY since the day it was released, and besides little hi-cups every update was AMAZING! But I’m begging, pleading that this is NOT what this app has come to? Please please don’t ruin this app… I cannot even begin to understand why this beautiful sounding, easy to use and master, with great (yet small) selection of effects, has somehow become a step WAY back? May I ask for the folks who LOVED the old riffler can we somehow go back to that version, or can you re-release that version (or better) this version as a whole and completely different app? Maybe Riffler stays the way it was and make this app Tabbler? Or something ? I will GLADLY buy the old app again if need be, without any issue! Please consider, I know without a doubt in my mind, Not one person who loved Riffler, will much like this new release… (just because the guitars sound awful!) Show more
