HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (1.7 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.

★★★★★ I have outboard gear but i mix on the ipad alone so i NEED decent Bluetooth support.

WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Why the hell would I want an app that only plays in DEMO MODE??? 1★, Jan 29, 2019
  • It would be nice to use Cubasis LE 2 to give us a chance to work with it. 1★, Jan 29, 2019
  • I think users of the other iOS DAW's need to add Cubasis to their arsenal as well. 5★, Nov 22, 2017
  • It would be nice for Steinberg to give this to me at the crossgrade price, but I won't hold my breath. 4★, Oct 1, 2016
  • If you buy the full version right off the bat, $24.99 (you don't need a Steinberg product). 1★, Sep 21, 2016

3 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Cubasis is quick, fun to use, only limited in the most sophisticated final mixing and processing tasks.
★★★★★ While it's no fun getting older, the prospective of growing up in the 80's makes me really appreciate the tremendous technology available to musicians and songwriters today.

★★★★★ I have to say that Cubasis is just about the perfect balance between something like GarageBand on the simple-but-limited side, and Auria Pro on the unlimited-but-complex side.

Software that is never free and no better than the rest

Don’t waste the time downloading. In short this paid app came with an instrument that doesn’t have Bluetooth, so when they reply to people that you need to connect the device it came with… the app only allows Bluetooth midi connection for that so it keeps itself in Demo mode. Cubase has better marketing people than developers because the amount of free or significantly less cost do the same work or better.

★★★★★Jan 8, 2022
Too Restrictive to test

Can’t record anything. Too restrictive to test. Too bad. If it was any good I would gladly buy the full version.

★★★★★Mar 7, 2021
Can you fix this problem

When I downloaded the app it was loading but it crashes and I never got the chance to using the app can you fix this problem.

★★★★★Oct 21, 2020
RIP OFF!! Not Eligible for Refund!! Don’t buy!!

In order to try the Inter-App feature you have to buy the Full Feature Set, but I find out the Inter-App Routing feature does not work properly with my Amp Sim Apps. It’s distorted with clicks & pops. I used this APP for less then 1 hour trying to get it to work properly. Requested a refund and was denied. Now I’m stuck with this GARBAGE 🤬 Edit: Their reply is Misleading & False. The Inter-App feature is not included in the Demo. You HAVE to purchase the Full Feature Set in order to try the Inter-App feature. So if the Inter-App feature doesn’t work properly, you’re stuck with this App 😡

★★★★★Jan 3, 2020
Great app but sorta dropped like a hot potato

I purchased this app when I had back surgery in early 2019 and needed to adapt to the iOS workflow of music production. That said, I don’t relate to the idea of Cubasis 2 receiving since 2012 therefor I should be grateful. Cant help but feel a side-balled as a recent customer. You’re not wrong to ask for more money... I’ve purchased nearly every extension and would gladly give more but that’s not the case here nor the attitude. Not enough offered to justify the means, , Please reconsider offering users who recently purchased Cubasis 2 the same sense of respect you’re asking customers to have for your development. Please find a way. Gift us an extension... SOMETHING! Otherwise Cubasis is surely the dominant daw on iOS. Happy new year 2020 y’all Please

★★★★★Nov 28, 2019
Yamaha AG06 mixing console???

Bluetooth appears to be the only means to connect a device. Yamaha AG 06 is not Bluetooth. “Cubasis LE” is the recommended software but doesn’t seem to be available anymore. Really frustrating. Website lists it as a compatible device.
