Will The iOS 6 Update Screw Up Your Music Apps?

iOS 6 was released yesterday – and 15% of Synthtopia’s mobile readers have probably already upgraded.

If you haven’t upgraded yet, though, you may want to wait, if you use your device for mobile music making. Reader Mark Mosher reports that several apps have problems.

Based on his testing, both PPG WaveGenerator and Akai SynthStation crash under iOS, immediately after the splash screens are displayed. Mosher notes that “I?ve been in touch with Wolfgang Palm and they are aware of the problem and working on a fix.”

Most of the apps Mosher tested seemed to work just fine, including TC-11, iElectribe, iMS-2o, Lemur, Magellan, Animoog, NanoStudio and others. See Mosher’s site for the rundown on apps he tested.

If you have already upgraded to iOS 6, let us know your experiences!
