This one works great and it's cheap: https://apps.apple.com/en/app/wu-audynamicsprocessor/id1530783413?l=en

I don't recall much of anything being said on the the forum about Jens Guell and WU products. He seems to have a ton of audio products (over 25). Their user interfaces aren't pretty to look at, but most are relatively inexpensive:

Is the quality pretty solid throughout, or are there just a few must-haves?

Not all of them but the one I've mentioned is a no-brainer, an excellent downward expander and a nice compressor too.
It's actually not Jens's DSP code - It's included in the Apple iOS SDK and he has built a nice UI wrapper around it, like the few other apps mentioned here.

Fabfilter must be the best

That Gate Expander sounds like it would be very flexible, @JoyceRoadStudios.

Pretty clever to combine a noise gate and expander. I wonder what actual pedal it's based on?

Possibly Boss NS-2....which has a downward expander though that might not be obvious from the ad copy (though it is mentioned in its manual)

I think you’re totally right that it’s a variation on the NS-2, especially since Overloud has been very consistent with the visual design of their Boss pedal emulations. Same knobs and shape across the board, and quite similar in color to the real pedals. What I like especially about the Gate Expander is the attack and release being quite smooth and nearly not as abrupt as a traditional noise gate, so when set just right it sounds quite natural. And it happens to simply be a great noise gate anyway. But as mentioned above, it’s also good to apply this kind of fx after recording, where you can listen to your track and get the noise gate levels just right.

Does the Boss NS-2 have audio tracks yet?
