  • Pretty good

    I love it! Congratulations on making a great app

    One pointer, the keyboard is very small and makes it VERY HARD to attempt to play the right notes
  • Needs another update ASAP

    Using iPad Pro 14.6 and sounds grt! Had to repost review. I thought software was glitchy, found out it was my 3.5 aux cord going bad. Brass instruments are just what I needed in my Arsenal. Already produced a song in first hour. Nice job guys. 5 star. 👍
  • Wow just wow
