Being one of the most popular classic wave editing apps for iOS, Hokusai is the best choice for sound designers, musicians, podcasters, journalists, educators and hobbyists since 2011.
The audio editor has very simple, uncluttered UI to allow users focus on their tracks. Behind the simple interface however you can find lots of useful tools and capabilities, such as fade in/out, normalise volume levels, reverse time, and basic synthesis.
