Caustic for Negative User Reviews

I cannot interact on app on my iPhone 8Stuck in widescreen rotate only half screen image unreactable.Version: 3.2.0

Caustic is missing something!Don't get me wrong this is a great app! If I could use the presets! They're not coming up in whatever folder they may need to be in. Please fix guys.Version: 3.1.2

Terrible app for $15WHATS THE POINT OF HAVING FOLDERS IN THIS APP IF THEY ARE ALL EMPTY, there are no preset folders or anything, there are much better apps for a much better price!, do not get this app, I suggest getting Fl studio mobile or korgs gadget, they are both great and are actually useful, if I could get a refund I would but because I can't I am writing this so no one else waste money on this app, thank you for reading, DO NOT PURCHASE THIS APP!!!.Version: 3.1.2

Great app, but needs update!Had this app for years on multiple devices and it’s always been amazing and I’ve written so many songs here, but since my last update a few months ago it hasn’t worked at all! Willing to pay for update.Version: 3.2.0

Ghost notes?Getting keyboard triggers for keys never pressed. Unable to record due to this (felt like I was playing 2 player and it was always the other guys turn).Version: 3.2.0

No Bluetooth, no Aux (IPad Pro 11)...Ya I will be looking for a refund..Version: 3.2.0

Does not work on new iPhonePaid 9.99 for an app that will not run properly in the new iPhone. Can’t even hit the transport controls..Version: 3.2.0

Developer Is LazyIf you build a monster then you feed it. File transfer difficulty is not all on apple.Version: 3.2.0

No longer works on iPhoneCaustic used to be a fun synth app with a great sequencer. No longer seems to work with the iPhone. I guess the party’s over..Version: 3.2.0

Sad to report…The app has since been rendered useless on my iPhone ever since the iOS 16 update. I have yet to update the app on my iPad and I hope it isn’t broken there as well. Having paid for the app a couple of years ago and up until now being pleased and even impressed by the quality and user friendliness of such a robust and feature rich DAW, I’m sad to see it in a state of disrepair. However, I’m keeping faith in the developers and hoping that they will fix the problems and restore mine and all of the loyal Caustic fans that rely on their software to flesh out their ideas and their creative outflows that would otherwise go unfulfilled. We need you. Don’t let us down. Thank you for everything you do..Version: 3.2.0

Headphone output doesn’tOn iOS 17 the headphone output is simply none functional. This is clearly over Bluetooth..Version: 3.2.0

Doesn’t work on iPhoneMy brother has this on his iPad and it was awesome to play with. Bought it to use on my commutes but it doesn’t work at all on my iPhone. Developer has probably stopped supporting newer iPhone versions… Really too bad as I’d really hoped to have an app like this to play with..Version: 3.2.0

Awesome app! But bluetooth?Why does this app not work with bluetooth headphones/speakers? This is a great tool for making music but I can’t even use it with decent sound? Yeah yeah, dongles exist, and I used to use the app with them, but I shouldn’t have to carry around a different pair of headphones and a dongle just for this app. Great app. Only giving it 1 star because I want this problem to be fixed..Version: 3.2.0

Exporting is brokenA bit of warning to you all... The developer wants you to fork over an additional cost for a separate app to export your songs. If this allowed me to export to Dropbox or Google drive from the get-go, a higher rating would be warranted..Version: 3.2.0

Garbage and I paid for it!This app worked fine on my iPhone however after an update for the phone the app only offers a single synth and only fills up half the screen. Junk! I want money back, what a rip off!!!.Version: 3.2.0

Don't waste your time or money!The app has not been updated for a long time, midi control and implementation is inaccurate and choppy to the point of unusable, the best thing it does is play their demos! Wish I could have my money back!.Version: 3.2.0

I love this app but...It won't connect to my Bluetooth headphones. Everything else on my iPhone 7+ will, but not Caustic. I won't be able to mix well without that - I hate to say this, but I either need it fixed or I need a refund. :( So excited to download this app, now very disappointed😭.Version: 3.2.0

Bluetooth headphones….do not work. Very disappointing. It is 2022 not 2002. Otherwise a good app to use as a sketchpad. Unfortunately without bluetooth headphone support it is unusable everywhere that is not private..Version: 3.2.0

Great tool but doesn’t work with Bluetooth audio devicesThe website has been taken over by spam so I guess the software has been abandoned.Version: 3.2.0

Wish i could use my BT headphones :(Cant use bluetooth with this app.Version: 3.2.0

NEEDS AN UPDATE!I can’t even use it anymore because the screen is locked in some weird position. The developer completely abandoned this app. It was amazing for years until the latest apple update. C’mon man, DO SOMETHING!.Version: 3.2.0

StupidYou cannot even use your airpods for it, waste of money!! I’m looking for a refund.Version: 3.2.0

Sadly no longer works on iPhoneThis is a sad day indeed. Mobile Caustic no longer works. At least on my iPhone with iOS 16. Please devs, bring this up to date to keep working! Essential DAW software!.Version: 3.2.0

CANNOT EXPORT!!!I used to love this app until I bought the iOS version. $9.99 and I can't EXPORT the file unless I buy another $3.99 app? The export to share does nothing, you can't even save a local file with this app. What a joke. Fix this. 1 star because I can't give 0..Version: 3.2.0

Output too loudThis is quite a good app, but if headphones without a volume control are worn it can sometimes give a dangerously high output which will leave you clutching your head trying to rip them off. Probably best to put a physical volume control in the headphone lead to reduce this risk. Setting the volume in each section is OK, but unfortunately the levels go back up on switching between modules and sections. Might be safest to not use headphones. As noted in other reviews the App doesn’t seem to work with Bluetooth or Bluetooth headphones. I would have rated this one or two stars higher without this loudness issue. For me the Bluetooth problems would be nice to be fixed, but not a show stopper..Version: 3.2.0

Little things.It literally takes 3 minutes to make a smaller or bigger trying to change the length of it... so much hassle for little things like the grid and going back and having to put another note to replace and back out of the grid it’s just terrible and very confusing with not a lot of help.Version: 3.2.0

Why?I’m unable to have sound through Bluetooth headphones. No option for output in settings..Version: 3.2.0

Bluetooth headphones don’t work iOSGreat app but the fact that Bluetooth headphones won’t work on iPhone with the app is killing me. I’ll rate 5 stars when they fix this..Version: 3.2.0

Doesnt work on iphone?I paid 10 bucks open it up and I cant actually manipulate anything at all. I can scroll up and down but everything is centered to the left half of the screen in landscape and i cant interact with anything except the bar that slides everything vertically..Version: 3.2.0

Caustic has glitches in newer operating systems.It worked before, but when i updated my device, it started to only be like half of my screen..Version: 3.2.0

Bluetooth headphone support!!!Needs Bluetooth headphone support! Especially now that newer phones lost the audio jack.Version: 3.2.0

Issues with causticThis is a very versatile and creatively expressive app. The only issue that I have is that my Bluetooth headphones keep disconnecting every time i try using the app. It is really frustrating as I’m usually in public and can’t listen to what I’m playing on my speaker. If this issue is fixed, this would be an amazing product..Version: 3.2.0

Please refund mePlease refund me, I have only just bought it and it’s not doing what it’s showed to be doing. Bluetooth should work..Version: 3.2.0

Sampling issueI’m on an iPhone 6. Every sample I record sounds like it went through a children’s Robot effect. I’ve tried everything I know to do, and cannot get a clean sample with this app. This is particularly frustrating, because I really just want to use this app as a tracker/sample sequencer. The fact it does that is amazing, but I’m working with nothing but robot sounds, and it is very frustrating. Please update..Version: 3.2.0

Sequencer needs workOverall it has a lot of great features, probably the closes you'll get to Reason 4, sadly the sequencer section is not that good, I find it very cumbersome to get things done, I spent at least an hour trying to figure out how to make a pattern that was more than 1 bar long so I wouldn't have to record a chord progression a section at a time, apparently you can, so it really makes it a slow drawn out process, and for the most part, it just not that intuitive. I wish I could give it a higher rating but imo, the sequencer is more suited for step sequencing versus real time..Version: 3.2.0

Suffers from poor sound qualityThis app has potential but it really is very bad sound quality there is no separation between tracks and after even 2 tracks it becomes MUD the developer has spent too much time trying to imitate reason (unsuccessfully ) the sounds are basic to the point of one doesn't want to use them because they all sound pretty much the same and this app was not really ready for release at this price this is very obvious after just one session with it so if you want a low end app to just experiment with then it's ok but if you are looking for quality look elsewhere.Version: 3.0.0

Edited for BLUETOOTHI love Caustic... I have been using it for years, I haven’t found another DAW app like this ever... I had to edit this review because it really really sucks that when I got a new iPad, and connected my AirPods, Caustics audio still plays through the external speakers. PLEASE REJ PLEASE I WILL PAY YOU FOR THIS.Version: 3.2.0

No Audio out on HeadphonesPlease add an Audio out destination so the App can be used with Bluetooth headphones..Version: 3.2.0

Issue on start up with iPhone 11Looking for some direction how to be able to use this app Soon as I launch the app a rack loads up but I don’t have any control Any know if this is a an ongoing issue?.Version: 3.2.0

Cannot load presetsI cannot load anything past caustic, I cannot load any new presets or sounds.Version: 3.2.0
