HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (1.5 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Price and subscription22%

11 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ At this price, it is totally unacceptable to ignore the need to keep it updated.
★★★★★ If Kong were to “Gadgetize” this app it would be far more useful and more worth the $20 retail price tag.
★★★★★ Way to scam your customers, Korg!
Bugs, things not working18%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

Missing features10%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Itunes transfer doesn't exist anymore and you can't share ("bounce") to Soundcloud as stated in the description.
★★★★★ However it doesn't have a fully functioning synth, Lacks the ability to sequence melody and also lacks the ability to input drums organically by playing them.

Limits, credits, locked features6%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Great instrument locked behind a wall of neglect.
★★★★★ Very limited sound set & incredibly limited features.
★★★★★ You're limited with this virtual version, and frankly, I think the Propellerhead ReBirth module does far more for you, then this HD native applet.

WHAT THEY LOVE · SHARE OF GOOD REVIEWS
Easy to use15%

29 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ It has the straightforward drum machine interface similar to an 808, but a modern effects section that is very accessible.
★★★★★ But, minor quibble, easy workaround.
★★★★★ All of the features are solid and easy to use.
Fun, addictive14%

28 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ I'm having so much fun programming this and coming up with absolutely whacked out sounds, deep sub heavy bass and trippy drum grooves.
★★★★★ Perhaps there are better pattern change options, but I only use this for fun as a stress reliever.
★★★★★ Fun retro box for making beats for jamming and recording.
Looks great9%

17 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ 以前、実機は所有していましたが、当時は使い途が開発できず、でした。 個人的にはMaestroのRhythm Kingの音色や雰囲気が好きなので、FunkBoxも愛用してますが、音色をいじり倒してリズムマシンの領域を出る事も出来るし、自分好みだけでなくマシンと対話するように未知領域を作っていける愉しさがあります。 UIの背景を変えられるのも素晴らしい！ これ相当ポイント高い。 electribeはiOSで本領発揮するのかも。…

Latest reviews, United States App Store.

★★★★★Jun 6, 2026
Very similar to using hardware

must-have app. 64-step sequencer VA synth. very similar workflow to the EMX-1, but virtual analog like the ER-1MkII. a terrific generator of base rhythms and elements to resample.

★★★★★Sep 7, 2025
Share menu bugged out

Whenever I enter the share menu after using the bounce pattern function, the bottom section of the screen doesn’t appear. In fact, the whole menu layout has overlapping issues. The name and audio files borders are pushed close together along with the titles.

★★★★★Dec 2, 2024
実機以上に

以前、実機は所有していましたが、当時は使い途が開発できず、でした。 個人的にはMaestroのRhythm Kingの音色や雰囲気が好きなので、FunkBoxも愛用してますが、音色をいじり倒してリズムマシンの領域を出る事も出来るし、自分好みだけでなくマシンと対話するように未知領域を作っていける愉しさがあります。 UIの背景を変えられるのも素晴らしい！ これ相当ポイント高い。 electribeはiOSで本領発揮するのかも。 音色も好きだし、自分も素直になってきたからか（笑）、深く面白い楽器。

★★★★★Sep 28, 2024
Bad implementation

They should delete this app.

★★★★★Aug 3, 2024
Korg didn’t and intended not to meet the expectations of the admirers

Sadness!

★★★★★Feb 1, 2024
Very effective

The interface is friendly and the stock sounds are good. I haven’t begun delving into all functions yet, but so far - good.
