## Caustic Reviews in United States

### *---- "No good"
I can’t even get into my own beats. The system is not working. And I paid 10.00. Come on
-- Tone 910, 2025-11-25

### **--- "Deserves more, doesn’t work"
This is actually a phenomenal app in general. Originally for Android, this was one of the first mobile music production apps, and still one of the best mobile “DAWs” ever. Sadly, this port of the app no longer works with current iOS . I couldn’t get it to work on any of my iPhones, my girlfriend’s iPhone, or either of our iPads. The app is well worth looking into on Windows 11, or Android as a 3rd party apk (as I think it’s not available on google play store anymore either) as it was and still is incredibly inspiring. This is what got me into synthesizers and music production, and personally I think its legacy deserves better.
-- Gneaux, 2025-11-17

### ***** "Excellent app"
Rej I’m looking for all the sound packs for caustic to add on my iPhone . I have proof of purchase when I had android of the sound packs . I’ve bought caustic twice . I no longer have an android but none the less . Please let me know how I go about getting all the paid packs back
-- The beloved king, 2025-10-19

### *---- "caustic not working"
i can’t really do anything except scroll. please don’t waste your money on this
-- caleb2777, 2025-10-18

### *---- "Doesnt load up dont spend your money"
I downloaded it on iphone, was expecting good things since i had it on android and it was great. Its stuck on some kind of demo loop with the screen half cut off and cant get it to do anything. Very disapointing.
-- Hitheroadjack1, 2025-08-20

### ****- "A complete workflow"
Now, what u desire to do beyond this workflow is up to u.
-- derrtiblu, 2025-08-14

### ***** "I Just Keep Coming Back"
I got this app many years ago on kindle I got it as a cheap replacement for GarageBand since I couldn’t afford a Mac in 2014. I would spend hours everyday making music on this app. When I lost my kindle I tried to use other DAWs but nothing compares. I’ll tell you why! There are no loops or midi phrases. You make everything on your own. There are limitations but those limitations build creativity. Now that I can afford an apple device. I’d still rather use Caustic! It’s good to be home in 2025. P.S. please make caustic 4.
-- UltimateLifeForm69, 2025-06-23

### ***** "Still ultra relevant in 2025"
I’ve been an avid fan of Caustic for years and I’ve grown to love it even more. It’s almost like an underground phone app because it has no support. It’s so what you see what you get program… the workflow is amazing it’s quick. It’s got that great polyphonic but also Lofi quality I mean you could spend $1000 on one of these super pocket trackers or you could just rock caustic 3 like a pro.
-- JumpingJunoJaguar, 2025-04-21

### *---- "Great app that no longer works"
This doesn't work on modern iPhones. Tested on the 14 and on the 16 Pro Max. It only works if it’s opened in landscape mode and you can’t use the portrait mode at all. The vertical portrait orientation is what made me love this app, there are not many portrait mode DAWs.
-- YeahsYeahYeahs, 2025-04-14

### *---- "Can't use normally"
Can't use normally
