This is hands down my favorite soft synth. I can sit and play for hours. Works even better with an external controller- I got a used Akai MPK Mini and highly recommend it or similar to really unlock the full potential of this monster app. -- Guitfidle, 2026-08-15 ### ***** "Lovely" I own all the audio kit apps I feel they are better than some of the other big named synth brands both digital and hardware and for the price they don’t compare . This is a steal I am glad I got them before they raise the price cause it’d. still be worth it , other software companies charge 10-100 xxxtimes more $$$$ my arturia prophet 5 vs audio kit prophet 5 I’m taking audio kit I love my arturia cant use them any more I love my audio kits more and cofounder Matthew Fecher is college professor or whatever he does this for love of synth not prophet margins . -- Synth-ple man, 2026-07-27 ### ***** "A must have Monster Synth" I was looking for another scent for my iPad and I have to say this is one of the best sense on the market. The sounds are amazing they were so many to choose from you guys can’t go wrong with this program. Get it today. -- Black Door Films, 2026-07-27 ### *---- "Doesn’t work" I’m using beatmaker3 thought it was going to work with beatmaker3 nope it’s a waste of time and money -- Zoekilahh, 2026-06-15 ### ***** "Enjoy this great synthesizer, and all you need is an iPad." This app has lots of strange. Sounds lots of fun and you could enjoy one of the great synthesizers of the world synthesize really enjoyed this program. -- Dadawads, 2026-03-19 ### ***** "⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️" Great sounds, worth getting the app! -- rvmjamz, 2026-03-15 ### ***** "Hands down the best" I’ve used a lot of software synths, even paying tons for instruments from Korg and Roland. NERD Synth is hands down the best sounding and versatile, approachable instruments anywhere. It just sounds so good! My only request is that it be possible to run it on my Mac Studio Apple Silicon machine in Logic Pro. For this and the J8. That would make me very happy :) -- Lord Shader, 2026-03-07 ### *---- "Buggy in gband" Tired of these companies selling plugins that are buggy or disappear in gband on iOS. Cool sounds. Spend time building a song. Doesn’t work when I open the song the next day. $5 down the drain. Apple won’t refund. -- Bobeegallagh, 2025-12-12 ### ***** "All Audiokit’s Synths are awesome." Buy one, you’ll buy them all. Works in logic/GarageBand / your DAW or you can record and export as a wav file. Awesome addition for music production on the fly or as an instrument. -- That Dude Dane, 2025-11-08 ### ***** "Love the App !!!" Amazing App !!! -- r.l.y.818, 2025-11-05 [View all NERD Synth A2x + AUv3 reviews and detailed analytics on AppTail](https://app.apptail.io/signup?utm_campaign=ai-crawl&utm_content=reviews) ## NERD Synth A2x + AUv3 Store Rankings | Chart | Country | Category | Rank | |-------|---------|----------|------| | Top Paid | Greece | Music | #7 | | Top Paid | Greece | Overall | #43 | | Top Paid | Algeria | Music | #68 | | Top Paid | Switzerland | Music | #78 | | Top Paid | Romania | Music | #217 | | Top Paid | Pakistan | Music | #219 | | Top Paid | United States | Music | #230 | | Top Paid | Hungary | Music | #234 | | Top Paid | Egypt | Music | #236 | | Top Paid | Poland | Music | #236 | | Top Paid | Czechia | Music | #240 | ## Apps Similar to NERD Synth A2x + AUv3 -
