Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

Help a hopeless reverb junkie find the perfect Audio Unit
Hey all, I’m an admitted reverb junkie. In Auria land, FabFilter Pro-R pleases me. In IAA land, AUFX Space rubs me the right way, but it’s not yet an AU. In hardware land, I have two Eventide H9s filled with Space algorithms that I love to bits. In VST land, Pro-R, Valhalla VintageVerb, Soundtoys Little Plate, Eventide Blackhole+Ultrareverb and Ableton Convolution Reverb do me well. But at the moment, I’m just loving cooking up self-contained experiments in AUM using Audio Units, so I need help (probably in more ways than one).
What is the best sounding Audio Unit reverb out there? I love other Audio Damage apps, but I can’t click with the reverbs. I’m very sensitive to the aliased metallic flavour of most of the iOS reverbs I’ve encountered so far. I tend to love long, texturally-rich algorithmic reverbs, less interested in dealing with impulse responses most of the time.
Help me - which is the cream of the crop, the best of the best?

Pro-R will become an AU! All others will instantly pale.
This. In the meantime, I don't think you'll be satisfied. I know I'm not. Hopefully Fabfilter will release it or Pro-C 2 next, but no real idea when.
I really love knowing a big chunk of iOS future is being paved right now. So exciting!
I was going to mention the audio damage reverbs but I see you don’t like them. In my opinion they’re the best AU reverbs out
Maybe have a look here, also: https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/28570/best-ios-reverb
The best AU is the Virsyn AudioReverb IMO, hands down:

Virsyn Audioreverb works for me too, it’s versatile, pretty lite and sounds great. Admittedly I haven’t tried many others - haven’t had to as I’ve been so satisfied with audioreverb
That said, I’ve been curious about this for a while (dedicated freezeverb, which audioreverb doesn’t do) https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/fs-freezeverb/id1330949875?mt=8
Yep, I realise that will be the best bet when it comes... I don’t know if I can justify buying it for a third time, though, seeing as I paid full price for it for VST and Auria. It’s a great-sounding reverb, though...

Thanks, had a read through, this was definitely useful.
I’ve been using them, and they’re great for their particular strengths, but don’t quite do that thing I want them to do.
Thanks, ended up getting VirSyn AudioReverb for now. Don’t regret it. It’s got a great range, so it will do me for the time being. This and AUFX Push are now my iOS faves outside of Auria.
Thanks all for the feedback.
Outside of pro r - check out DDMF Envelope reverb. Its a little more natural sounding room reverb.
It's pretty nice sounding, a mix of algorithmic and IR from what I know. I don't like any of the other AU reverbs I've heard, they're all too bright and metallic sounding for me.
With an iCA4+ interface and AUM you could integrate the Eventide or an external Mac/PC into the setup and even compensate the hardware latency - if mobility isn't a requirement.
