SynthStation Negative Reviews
Crashing StillWhen I first got it it was fine. Now it crashes when I open it. Also it would be nice if it support use of auxillary with my stero connected to the IPad..AmbassadorZaRaVersion: 3.2
Horrible appDo not buy this app, it crashes every time even when it’s docked via iPad on synth49 and sadly this app been over neglected by Akai!.Dj Lyndon(SUMO)Version: 3.2
CrashSo sad to see such a great app, crash over and over.. can we get a refund please?.@KAL301Version: 3.2
SynthstationRidiculous that Apple & Akai still sell this app. Also that the Synthstation 49 & 25 are still in stores when Akai has fully abandoned this app. Please minus the one star I had to give for rating this. I want my $ back.Jimi Bones FondlerVersion: 3.2
Crashy crashingtonIf you want an app that's only function is to crash on startup, this is the app for you..ZlemonzVersion: 3.2
Exceptionally BuggyThis might be just the app for people with unlimited time to fool around and try to make it work. I lost patience trying to get it to get it to work properly using an external MIDI keyboard -- but no matter what I tried, the sound got stuck and hung-up in perpetual feedback. I can find no MIDI controls anywhere obvious -- or even obscure, and I gave up.
The app is useless for MIDI with my iPad. Though the iPhone version does have a MIDI setting and works using the Akai SynthStation 25 controller, it's so buggy that I can't figure out why it works one time and not the next. I plan on returning the Akai controller later today -- both the Akai SynthStation 25 controller and app offer nothing but frustration and crappy sounds.
I'll give it a 1 for the sounds, but with regard to MIDI functionality it deserves less than zero. Akai really fell down on this app and controller..Jjjames3Version: 3.2
DisappointedThis app won't even open without crashing. Anyone working at Akai to fix this?!.ShurmannVersion: 3.2
Very BasicThe sequencer on the Akai synthstation is very basic. I was quite disappointed.
There is no control of the volume of individual drum hits, kits are not customizable and there is no audio import or export.
This product is not very well thought through. I'd recommend waiting for an update to see if more basic features are added. For 10$, there are much better synth products for iOS..GarySavilleVersion: 0
DO NOT BUY !!!!!This app should not have even been approved by apple. Do not buy, it will crash!! This app is an embarassment..Ayorke69Version: 3.2

CrashI am in agreement the app keeps crashing on me and I am unable to use my Akai Synth station 49. It is very frustrating, can YOU PLEASE fix this ASAP! If you do not fix this soon I'm going to send my product back, this is absolutely unbelievable the bugs in this are atrocious!.Mighty swoopVersion: 3.2

Crashes on iPhone 5Just continually crashes at start up. Don't waste your time with this one..ReibsVersion: 3.2
DisappointingI've bought an apc40 and lpk25. So I was inclined to trust akai. But for 10$, this is a very disappointing app.
BEATMAKER blows this out of the water. That's worth $10, this is not..Adarsh.fernandoVersion: 0
Needs update!Latest version steadily crashes on opening....useless.01GiggerVersion: 2.1
Bad appToo bad you guys couldn't get it compatible with ios5 sooner, what a waste of money and time (it took forever to download!)
Developer's version of ios5 has been out for 5/6 months, there's no excuse..Sing sing singVersion: 2.0
Uselessly unstableCrashes constantly. I have been unable to save a note so far. furthermore, the developer's website is down or gone, so there's no one to complain to.
Frustrating as it looked like a great app..Rabbitfish63Version: 0
So disappointingI was extremely excited at the prospect of a mobile studio made by Akai, and this was a huge let down. Nearly everything about this is poorly thought out, the layout is completely unintuitive, and frankly there was no room for creativity left in my brain after struggling to figure out the logic of how this works. My guess is that Akai didn't make this app, they probably licensed their name to a third party. Anyway, I hate to say it, but not worth the wait or the price. If you are looking for a comparable app that is really good, check out NanoStudio. It is what this should have been, and more..JoelsquareVersion: 0
SynthStationUne banque de sons tous aussi inutiles et insignifiants les uns que les autres! On peut cependant utiliser le mini-clavier Akai 25 avec la banque, beaucoup plus riche et utile de MusicStudio! Je recommande fortement de télécharger cette dernière app! N'achetez pas Midi Bridge. Le clavier Akai se configure de lui-même sans problèmes, du moins, dans mon cas.
Unusable and insignificant sound bank! I prefer to connect my iPod in the Akai-25 Station keyboard and use MusicStudio, which is richer in useful sounds than the previous.
Il hope that someone will think of those musicians who are not in hip hop plip plop, whatever noisy music, but who would like to play some basic instruments (piano, acoustic guitar or even electric, interesting violins and classical stuff, etc.). Don't spend a dime on Midi Bridge!.Corvus conte deVersion: 3.0
Seriously?You know whats awesome? Paying for an app that doesn't work..Adamjensen33Version: 3.0
CrashesI bought a SynthStation 25 with plans to use it with this app. First I would get long stuck notes. Then increasing crashes till finally it crashed every time at start up. At first I didn't mind because with the purchase of Midi Bridge $8.99 I could use the SS25 with better apps like NanoStudio and Alchemy but then that connection started dropping out and then reappearing again about every 4 minutes.
The fact that the SS25 doesnt come with a wall jack or a USB cable or even the $2 SynthStation App makes me wonder what Is going on with Akai.
I returned the SS25 and deleted the App..Zuming2Version: 3.0
TerribleI don't usually complain about a two dollar app but this thing is poo. One of the worst synth apps I have used on the iPad. I would list all of the things that are bad about it but it is easier to just say everything.
Don't waste your money, get one of the many good Synth/Beat Pad apps on the app store instead. Beat Maker 2 is a good choice..AlphaTwoNinerVersion: 2.1
So soNeeds the ability to flip for screen position and core midi compatability....and everything else fixed as per comments. There are a lot better music production studios out there. Akai really fell down on this software..Like it 2Version: 1.21
Awful!I am a fan of AKAI products and own one of their midi controllers but this app is pathetic. A company who makes the type of products they do threw this together to make some fast money. AKAI if you are reading this I want mine back! Make a product that lives up to your name! Do not buy this app!.Adam AndreaVersion: 1.21
Akai NOT ProfessionalHorrible app. Nanostudio is 100% better..JosuejosueVersion: 1.21
