  • My favorite music app!

    This thing is so much fun, I was so sad to see the sample recording feature broken with OS updates but looks like they updated to fix it, YAY!!! A little bug exists where when I first open it, it comes out of the earphone rather than the speaker. Thanks for not forgetting us!

    Update: New version seems to have fixed everything and is a delight. This is likely my favorite app for mobile music creativity. Couldn’t possibly recommend this enough, not just for chiptune stuff, the sampler is in a world of it’s own!!

  • Thank you for the Bluetooth support!

    This is the ONLY app I use to make music. I don’t claim to be a professional musician but this app is truly versatile, and for a reasonable price. Perfect for minimalistic beats and extremely easy as an entry-level musician to get the hang of sculpting a song. The creators regularly update the app and have addressed and fixed some issues I had with previous versions. Highly recommend this app.

  • Thanks for the update!

    Been using for a long time. I was afraid it was abandoned. It is naaaaht!
  • Nice... Just a small issue

    Very nice app, i actually want to get into making music whether for fun or maybe getting into it more in the future. The only problem however is that the app isnt making any sound for me anymore. Not sure if its a bug, already tried pressing all controls and making sure that nothing is muted but there is just no sound and so far, the app for me is unusable. Hope i can get help from this please 👍

  • Too retro and minimal for me

    Also, iPad refused to access microphone so no sampling possible. Very fiddle and MIDI sounding. There’s way to much great tech available to have patience with something like this. Kudos to Doc Pop for making an explanation video... I get exactly what the app does even though I can’t get it to sample. Hard pass.

  • Can’t record. Doesn’t ask for microphone permission

    Really cool app, but I cannot record samples directly.
  • Crashes on launch after changing the volume

    Would love to use the app but can’t. Doesn’t look like it’s maintained, either, so I don’t have high hopes for this getting fixed.
  • Only one small issue

    Nanoloop is so much fun to work with, given its limitations and minimal interface.

    I have but one issue with Nanoloop. For some inexplicable reason, the app emits no sound if the mute switch is flipped on. That switch mutes your incoming calls and alerts. I’ve plays a small handful of games that work this way too. I don’t recall which ones because I don’t play them any longer. I stick with Nanoloop only because it’s such a fantastic music tool. This little itch under my skin drops a 5 Star rating down to 3 stars. Some day, I would really like to amend this rant and change the rating.

    Sincerely,

  • Phenomenal!

    Nanoloop is a brilliant chip tunes/minimalist music app! For chiptunes I’ve been using LSDJ for the gameboy and MSSIAH for the C64 and nanoloop on the iPhone is a formidable companion. It is capable of excellent lofi sampling and sample manipulation, Simple FM synthesis ,Simple pulse wave based sounds, 8 and 16-Bit noise etc. but the real power comes from the sequencer, essentially you modulate every parameter per step which is very similar to the unparalleled Elektron sequencers! In fact I’m currently running it though my octatrack for sampling and processing. The possibilities are endless and the UI is genius. If you are already into or curious about creating chiptune/lofi music this app is a no brainer! It’s incredibly fun and I couldn’t recommend it more!

  • it's the best

    don't let the spare interface fool you. it's very deep. you can spend hours exploring sound & be deeply engaged the whole time. do nano-loop, not drugs.
