I just realized that I have all of the developer’s apps. They are all superb.

I really appreciate Ryan creating this app and adding MIDI control to it as well. I use Ableton Live and Gig Performer (similar but better than MainStage-IMHO). I have put drone pad loops in both Ableton & Gig Performer which has worked great! This week I took the time to setup AutoPad for use with Gig Performer. As long as it’s reliable like the other two programs, I may use this as my primary pad player. The only thing that stops me from a 5 star rating is that it is only AUv3. The programs I use that I’ve mentioned several times in this post recognize AU, VST & VST3 plugins. I would LOVE and prefer to use/control AutoPad in one of those hosts. I’m on a Mac and don’t know how much more is involved in making this app AU compatible but that would make a HUGE difference in use ability. I’m hoping that day will come sooner rather than later. Other than my request to make this compatible with professional programs, Ryan has made a very useful tool for worship that is in my tool set! PS….this is fantastic for sure on iOS and that is where that AUv3 comes in nicely! Get this now if you don’t have it. Thank you Ryan and I look forward to seeing this continue to develop! Show more

This app works great and sounds great on my iPad. However under Monterey on macOS it is standalone and I can’t get it in Logic Pro X. This app needs to be AU with a component to be useful on the Mac. Show more

The best thing about this App is that if you upload a pad in a particular key - you identify what key it is, and AutoPad will adjust that particular key you uploaded to fit the other 11 keys, if you want to toggle them. Very handy! The click track is awesome, however, I don’t see how I could use it in a live setting in my ears, if the pad is also being use live… literally no one else wants to hear the click. This program over is really good for basic pad needs, but definitely not perfect. As far as workflow goes, I have found that it is best to upload all your downloaded pads in the “Live” tab, then after that - it is best to essentially ignore the “Live” tab. Move over to the “Set List” and create your songs. In the set list, the user can actually see what particular Pad sound & key is assigned to each song. Seeing the pad file selected for each song is extremely helpful, because you cannot see the pad file selected in the “Live” tab. I have played around with this quite a bit over the past few days. The “Live” tab is really really quirky. In “Live” I really don’t like how you can select multiple pads for each key, and even when you deselect one, and enable another pad - the sounds sometime don’t change - even if you turn the pad on and off. It drives me nuts! Overall, now that I have figured out how to use the app in a fairly robust way, I plan on using it a lot now. Just bummed it isn’t perfect, but hey, what is?! Show more

Now with midi I think this will be alot better for droning. I imagine you can use another synth with this on mac, but ive only used ios. Hails to this for the simple yet great concept. Show more

I have an m1 max 64 GB mac pro and it can't handle running one ideration of this in logic. From what I've heard from worship buddies this is a great app on Ipad but right now on mac this is less then half baked. It's maybe 20% there. The pads often don't switch when you try to change them and the "drag left to delete" is broken. If you're going to release this on madc for 6 dollars, I would think you would at least make sure all of the advertised features work. I hope you guys get this running right and optimized for apple silicone. This would be a really useful tool to me. For now avoid. I will update if they fix these issues. Show more

The interaction, the user experience is very well thought through. I was able to organise and perform with my acoustic guitar very easily. I felt confident in delivering a good performance with AP beside me. My setup included the iRig2 with an ¼" output to the sound board on my iPhone. Sweet deal. Looking forward to using AP always.

Multitracks wants to charge $10/mo to enable these same functions except this interface is far superior to theirs and this one comes preloaded with some surprisingly good sounds! Thank you for creating this app and offering it for such a reasonable one-time fee! Show more

Been using the app for a couple of years now and I absolutely love it. I use it on my iPhone, make a setlist, and have it going to two channels on my church’s mixer. One for click/pad and one just for pad. Has great pad sounds (dark analog is my favorite) and the click works perfectly. Also, their customer service/support is top notch. I got a very helpful response from them when I had a click issue. Definitely recommend this app! Show more

Great application. Use it all the time. But Set List mode midi doesn’t work when used in AUM.

A simple design with rich samples. This app helps set the atmosphere and I love the low / high pass filter options!

I downloaded this app because I saw a friend of mine use it with his worship team. I downloaded it and even bought the extra sounds. But when I connected through Bluetooth to our system it will play for five seconds and then drop out completely. I have to close the app and restart it and it is the same thing over and over again. I just wish this Apple work and I can give it a five star review Show more

Irig BlueBoard only puts out 4 notes, C, D, E, and F. The pads in this app do not midi learn so that I could assign my chord samples to one of those four notes and trigger them via BlueBoard. Like if I wanted to play an Ab chord using the C pad. Admittedly, I am searching for an iOS sample pad with assignable midi control. Midi learnable. I could have possibly used the set list feature, but there’s no way to move from “song” to “song” via midi. Great app, just won’t work for me. Show more

I've been using Auto Pad with my Church's praise band for over 2 years now, and I've been very satisfied with it. The main pad screen is great. I'm glad they finally added a better set-list feature. One suggestion I have would be more comprehensive Set List management. Perhaps a copy-list feature, or something where I could maintain a matter list of songs, then create a sub-list from that for a given week's set. Show more

Great pad sounds, but please add an option to change octaves +1 or -1!

Volume is unstable and disappears. Note pads are not working. Worked for a minute and then stopped. Very disappointing.

best iOS music app no cap

I love this and use it mostly every Sunday at church! Different sounds (and the packs aren't expensive) I recommend this to anyone needing a pad sound. The only thing I would add is a companion app for the Apple Watch. It'd be great to switch between pads or sounds etc without needing the phone next to me. Other than that, nothing but posivites to say. Show more

Sooo I love this app I’ve been using it for about 3 years but I can not figure out why my settings are no longer saving I used to be able to keep my volume down my cross fade all the way up and everything the way I needed it but lately it’s been resetting to default settings everytime I close the app with only the pad I chose but not the settings please fix this I LOVE this app and recommend it to all my friends but this little thing is such an amazing feature that makes it even more customizable to each person please fix or bring back! ? I hate going in to the app and the volume being at full instead of where I left it Show more

What’s a better endorsement than this? Wooo!
