iRing Music Maker App Reviews

They put out products and update to new ones relentless but you cant count on them to support anything. This software hasnt been touched in almost two years.

These ring apps are understandably more simple to control using an iPad but they are still fun with the iPhone. I think it is pretty awesome to be able to control music and effects by moving your hand, and especially when it doesn’t have to cost hundred or thousands to do it. I am sure these ring controller apps with get better and better over time. The only area I can mention as something I would like to see improvement, sooner rather than later, is just the overall appearance of the app interface. However, that is kind of petty because it has no effect on the function of the app.

Whats it for?

If you use iOS 8 and Audiobus, the iRing apps will not work. IK Multimedia says they are "releasing" fixes but provide no ETA.

I got this as a gift and I have enjoyed many IK Multimedia products in the past, so I was predisposed to love this app and accessory. However, no sound comes out no matter what do, and Im running the latest iPad and iOS. What I truly and sincerely recommend is that IK Multimedia either fire their entire marketing department, or at least instruct the app developers that if a marketing person says jump, they can punch that marketing person in the mouth. The app is like a sales pitch, full of endless marketing-driven distractions, which I had to carefully navigate around until I finally realized I was not going to get any sound out of this app. The thing is: I ALREADY BOUGHT THE PRODUCT. Stop marketing to me. The apps that go with iRing should literally have 10% of the buttons. I mean it. Take out 90% of the buttons and information. Provide some instructions that get a person started with the product.

This app stopped working with Audiobus back in Sep 2014...and without Audiobus this app has zero functionality. Its now April 2015 and although IK Multimedia promised a fix at the time, their customer support recently told me they are "focusing resources elsewhere", so dont expect a fix any time soon. Dont waste your money buying an iRing, youd just be flushing $24.99 down the toilet.
