SoftPads: Background Loop Pads App Reviews

This app was the perfect “fill in the gap” for us with regard to son transitions. There are plenty of features for the price, well worth the price.

Very simple to use... really helps remove the dead space between songs. Midi support to start/stop and change keys would be awesome (think footswitch)... but otherwise, awesome app!

This is the fourth app I’ve downloaded in my attempt to find a simple way to add pads to our church and this one is the best so far! Simple to use and the pads sound amazing! Only suggestion would be to be able to adjust the length of the cross fade.

i have used similar apps in the past and this app has the best sounds of any one ive tried. like how u can blend sounds and easy to switch keys

I love this app. I would highly recommend it, if you’re looking for great sounding pads. Also, you can use multiple pads at the same time to create awesome sounds.

This a great app. Worth way more than the price. Love the different pads. Love being able to play multiple pads at once. I only wish it had a way to control the volume. Using the volume control buttons on the iPad are to disruptive, and doesn’t always work if you’re running multiple apps.

I lead worship sing, and play piano and was looking for pads to fill in the sound. Found free stuff but after some research I decided to give this app a try. Very simple, versatile, beautiful and affordable. Must have for any solo performer.

Great app! Sounds are quality, beautiful and extremely versatile. I love the stacking, and the cross fade makes stage-usage a breeze. Had one small issue and support got it resolved quickly - was user error. Might add an arrow or page dots or something on the interface so folks know that there’s a left and right menu. Other than that, brilliant app. Will continue to use. Makes this one-man-show sound much more full!

I’ve tried numerous apps on the market and this one is easily the best app there is. User friendly, easy to make set lists, no glitches or crashes ever and very reliable. 5 stars all the way to the developers of this app

Pads sound great. But please add support for side by side view on an iPad. Also the audio fades out if I bring another app up in sidebar mode. And cross fade / fade in/out time is too fast, let me adjust it. Otherwise an excellent app!

We only have 2 musicians in our worship team (keys & drums) and this is like adding a 3rd. I Set it up on my iPad in arms reach and it was able to layer pads changing the feel for each song and it made transitioning to songs in different keys smooth without that awkward moment of silence while changing keyboard settings. Great value so don’t hesitate. Wish I’d had this years ago

This app has changed my acoustic solo playing! If you’re looking for something to hold a background pad while you play over it this is it. I use it for my worship team at church and it’s perfect to be played underneath my acoustic, and also as holdovers in between songs and during worship. I’ve been looking for something like this for a long time… I used to just use scotch tape on the keyboard, lol.

Whatever happened after the latest update - including the logo change and interface change, it has almost ruined the app completely. We never had issues before using this app for background pads in worship, but now there are consistent issues with the volume. If you’re not in the app, it dims the volume. But the whole point is to put in on in the background - I use the same iPad for my music. Not loving all the new glitches :(
