Pros and cons of AmpliTube LE app for iPhone and iPad

AmpliTube LE app good for

With the new update, the sound quality is better, and the 4-track recorder is nicely done. But its missing a way to import audio from other iOS apps (either copy/paste or file-based). If you need a computer around to get drum tracks into the recorder, it defeats the whole purpose of having a portable solution. Also, you should be able to play songs directly from the iPod library without importing - other amp apps can do this, so its possible. With audio copy/paste and better iPod integration, this would definitely be a 5-star app.

...but... Wheres my tap tempo on the delay pedal itself? Set list integration would also be amazing.

I got my iRig today and tried out the free amplitube, worked fine. Bought the LE version to get the chorus stompbox. Very easy to use and lots of control on my sound. Use it with headphone for practice. So nice and light setup with iPhone on my belt.

Got the iRig and am very pleased with it. Got the 4 track recorder and it is a good deal. The quality is very good. Didnt need everything on the full version bought the clean amp, eq add on and od add on. Really liking this set up.

I got the irig for Xmas, and I like it a lot. I use this app with the irig and my iPhone 4s. Its fun and convenient. Besides some crackling and popping, I really like it. It has some good features such as recording and some other things. I was really worried when I saw this app was not working with some other iPhones, but I am glad to say that I had no problems with my phone and the connection to the app. This app is a great addition to any guitar players collection of toys!

I have the irig stomp and love using it live. I wish that there were a few more amps to use for acoustic guitars but using the bass amp works well. Keep up the good work.

Some bad moments

I cant get it to work on my iPhone 4. It works just fine on the 3GS.

This is a great idea. I bought the LE edition and it needs to display in landscape mode on the iPad. Theres not enough visibility in portrait. It absolutely needs to be louder. Give us preamp or some kind of volume booster. When using headphones, its a bit tame.

App was working pretty well until update, now the app is gone. Maybe fix my app that I paid for and Ill give more than one star.

It works, but that is all it does. The sound quality is not that good and I would really like to use my iPod at the same time as playing my guitar. It may come in handy if I need to record something real quick so I dont forget an idea. This app probably wont see much use.

Worked wonderfully until the last update, now it sounds like crap. I am a producer and I love IK multimedia products, I own 2 iPads, an iRig, and a Touch. I have purchased ALL OF THE ADD-ONs With two different iTunes accounts, and I am very DISSAPPOINTED with the fact we paid to get amplitube for iPad, and had to REPURCHASE ALL OF THE PEDALS WE HAVE ALREADY PAID FOR. Make at least the In app purchases universal... Or I am going to start recommending other products. When you fix this, I will amend my review. Until then I will find other tools to produce/play shows with.

I downloaded the free version of this app and used it without the iRig, just the headphone mic and it worked ok, there was still feedback etc but I figured once I bought the $40 iRig problem solved. Not the case. The app constantly crashes, in the event you start the app and havent plugged your headphones in = crash. If you plug unsuitable headphones/speakers into the iRig ( as intended ) = crash. Tomorrow I am on my way back to Best Buy to return it, and while Best Buy has the decency to refund bad products IK Multimedia does not. Another thing (and this goes with several IK Multimedia products) they dollar you to death with effects, amps, recorder, etc. But I love idea and it pains me to write such a negative review but a bad app is a bad app.
