Idk

Idk what’s up with all the negative reviews… I’m using my iPad mini 4 and this app and the other app that I have by this developer work like they should and I love them so 🤷‍♂️

It always crashes

Constantly crashes

UI Design Limited

Amazing concept and makes great noise even though small buttons over step sequencer make it an issue to use. Great for glitch work. Other than this unintentional effect, I’d rather go with the Perforator App for the real deal… fix the buttons for five stars.

Interface too small for iPhone 12

Hello! This app might be awesome, but I was unable to actually work it due to the ridiculously tiny UI. Probably great, but who knows…

Tiny UI when used as plugin in GarageBand

The UI of this plugin is extremely tiny when used as a plugin in GarageBand. That really reduces its usability a LOT. I’m already on as large a screen as one can get on iOS: iPad Pro 12.9”.

Also, the inactive controls look disabled. Try a different look, because it’s not fun to assume a control is unavailable when it’s merely unselected. UI conventions exist for a reason.

It is a free app, so, thanks I guess? I’m not sure I will be able to make use of it because of the UI, though.

UPDATE: The developer replied to my similar review of the other app in this category. They suggested resizing the plugin in GarageBand, but there is NO SUCH such facility to do so. If there is, they seriously need to document it on their app page!

Suffers from small font

The text and features are pretty small when using it in GarageBand, but it’s a decent functioning app overall. I hope it gets fixed a bit soon.

Stops working

Great app but stops working every time I close it in Cubasis

This is excellent

All your stuff is getting used a lot here.

Pretty good

Good for gating pads

This developer…

is rubbish. Wasted 10 quid on another of their apps. This one is worthless too.
