### 2/5 — I wish I’d read the reviews

*2018-07-01, version 4.5*

Thought it be a way to record simple demos. I was wrong. No support or tutorials. An expensive mistake.

### 3/5 — iPad version?

*2011-12-29, version 3.1*

I have this nifty app. Used to use it on my ipod, but now I have an ipad. Unfortunately this app doesn't do ipad mode, so it is 1/4 the size of the screen. I hope the author puts in an ipad mode.

### 4/5 — pas si mal...

*2011-09-16*

Bonne application pour enregistrer une idée musicale, j'enregistre meme un petit rythme de batterie avec le micro de l iphone.
du coup je peux mixer batterie basse guitare ( la batterie sature un peu mais on peu regler le volume ce qui permet d'avoir un son correct)
conclusion, 7€ et qq centimes; peu etre un peu cher, mais encore valable car application pratique!

### 3/5 — 教えてください

*2011-09-02, version 3.0*

どうやってパソコンに転送するんですかね？

### 2/5 — Freeze!

*2011-08-31, version 3.0*

I loved this app. Great tool for getting ideas out quickly, but the most recent update freezes my whole phone when the piano is loaded! Also, it erased all my previous recordings! What are you guys doing?!

### 4/5 — Pal mal

*2010-12-04*

Moi je trouve que ca march bien, il faut chanter ou jouer a 40-50cm et ca sature plus. Pour la latence ca va. Quand au metronome en effet bof mais on peut compenser en enregistrant soi meme un clic sur la 4eme piste et la replacer après par un enregistrement. Un systeme de transfert USB serait un gros +.4/5

### 4/5 — Sync fixed!

*2010-10-22, version 0*

Sync problem has been fixed with latest update, works fine now, the only thing I would like now is some kind of ambience effect ( delay/reverb) which none of these track recorders I've seen seem to have (might be a CPU issue)

### 1/5 — SERIOUSLY DO NOT BUY

*2010-05-17, version 0*

Recording one track is fine and easy but when recording the 2nd in time with your 1st the final product when listening back is out of sync, therefore its not a 4 track at all really, just an out of sync mess. Your better off just using your iphone recorder, cos anything above 1track is a waste of money and time

### 1/5 — Arnaque

*2010-05-03*

Cette Appli à 7 euros je suis écoeuré... cela ne devrait pas valoir 50 centimes.. ça bug obligé de redémarrer ... l'iphone les instruments sont ridicules. 5 bruits de batterie pourri...Bref à éviter de toute urgence

### 1/5 — Using "Bounce to track 1" corrupts the wav output

*2010-04-20, version 0*

The new "Bounce to track 1" feature seems to have a bug - everything works fine in the application itself, but when you export the resulting wav file you cannot play it (outside the application) any more; the file has a non-zero size, but the wave inside looks like it has a zero length.

### 1/5 — Not worth the trouble

*2010-03-09, version 0*

Useless from latency

### 1/5 — Truly Horrible App

*2010-01-18, version 0*

DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS PILE OF GARBAGE!  Yeah, you can record 4 tracks, but guess what?  You cannot combine them into a single track!  You can only save each one as a wav file. If I can't combine the tracks into a single track with the app, doesn't that defeat the whole purpose of the app?! Go buy music with your iTunes money instead.

### 2/5 — Not impressed

*2009-11-18, version 0*

I've been waiting for ages for this update and was expecting many changes, however, I have been unable to find much to smile about. It is still not possible to record from any location other than the beginning. The built in instruments are about as much use as a nun's t*t! Why are the VU meters still upside down? Why isn't there any time counter? Why are there no wave editing facilities? Really, this is of very little practical use.

### 1/5 — Yuck!

*2009-11-16, version 0*

Congratulations on making one of the worse apps out there! I tried to email the developper to get a refund but to no avail. This is a rip off that doesn't work. There are so many good apps out there that you shouldn't waste your time with this. Take it from a music pro. Nothing works on this and it's glitchy as hell...

### 1/5 — 4tracks

*2009-10-20, version 0*

Tracks are out of sync. Effectively pointless and a waste of money.

### 1/5 — Avoid!

*2009-10-06, version 0*

Crashes everytime I try to bounce the track over wi-fi so cant get the track off my iphone and use it to record something else. Latency is unbearable so all in all a complete waste of money!

### 1/5 — Why im dumb

*2009-10-03, version 0*

I only bought this app to record Tracks using the built in synth. Well of course, you cant do that. I guess i didnt read the app page well enough? Though the picture on the app page clearly shows the keyboard with a record option. Not on mine. I want my 8 dollers back. Seriously, this is illegal.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2023-01-31, version 5.5*

This app is incredibly glitchy. It worked only twice for about a minute then promptly stopped working, never to resume.

### 1/5 — Lost Demos

*2022-10-19, version 5.3*

Last update erased all my demos. Nice job! Less than 0 stars if possible.

### 1/5 — Disaster

*2019-05-12, version 4.5*

Doesn’t work.  No manual.  No support.  Can’t record.  Can’t import.  Rip off.  Run away from this disaster.  Please, mister programmer, change profession!

### 1/5 — Cant figure it out

*2019-01-30, version 4.5*

Well i bought this app and the visual interface really confounds me. I see no "menu" button or "settings" how do i save a track then add another on top of it and save them? VERY CONFUSING TO ME AND EXPENSIVE! Your help would be appreciated !!!

### 1/5 — Not exporting

*2015-09-15, version 4.5*

The app is not letting me share my work and export my recording to sound cloud.

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2015-06-19, version 4.5*

This app is good at recording and that's it. Can't export songs via text, email etc... No tutorial at all. And it's a shame as recording quality is good. I even tried to email the support team, to find email address is invalid. Cost me £7.99, worth £1. The free one with blue icon much better......

### 1/5 — Very disappointing and a ripoff

*2012-05-23, version 3.1*

The app is not worth buying. It cannot have multiple projects nor can u merge keyboard sounds with recorded audio. Nor has the developer responded to emails regarding what they are doing about it. I would like a refund.

### 1/5 — I LOVE IT--! BUT IT's also IMPOSSIBLE-!!!

*2010-10-25, version 0*

This app is AWESOME-BUT IMPOSSIBLE to get tracks to your computer-!!! BOTH the light app AND the $9.99 app 'pretend' to 'act' like they will save to your computer via 'go to this web address' -  -BUT IT CERTAINLY DOES NOT download to your pc-it actually DUMPS the track altogether-!!! Ahhhh-! OTHER THAN THIS MAJOR FLAW-THE APP IS AWESOME-!!! It worked GREAT the very first time I used it-!! Time yourself to your own music-it WON'T do that for your-and if your too lame to not be able to do that-then well-yah-it WON'T work for you-!!

### 1/5 — Maybe...for .99 cents

*2010-10-22, version 0*

...this would deserve three stars.  At $9.99 (!!)....Don't waste your money.  Doesn't work well at all.

update:  new version freezes when piano sound is loaded.  Great improvement.

### 1/5 — Buy a different one.

*2010-07-13, version 0*

It comes down to this: I recorded a rhythm track. Then I recorded a lead track. They are immediately out of sync.  Waste of money.

### 5/5 — A Great Portable Recording Studio.

*2012-04-27, version 3.1*

This 4 track is perfect for capturing those song ideas on the spot, in a high quality format which allows for further recording in other programs. There is even a built in synth and an easy to play guitar neck which help you to get your ideas down even without your own instrument. 

You can also import tracks to add to or play along with, and it really does double as a great practice tool as well.
Capturing midi files of your recordings is also incredibly handy, but it's the great simple interface and real power that really makes this studio a great musical companion.

### 5/5 — Very usefull tool for musicians

*2009-11-26, version 0*

It is not very often that I find an application that makes my life easier. This one allows me to practice without having to bring all my gear. It is a must for any musician. I really like the interface that looks like a old recorder, even the buttons look used, nice touch.

### 5/5 — Very good application

*2009-11-19, version 0*

This application is a must ! it just works and does what it is supposed to do. The interface could be nicer but overall it's a very good application.

### 5/5 — Great

*2009-09-11, version 0*

Great little app.

### 5/5 — needs to be fixed!!!!

*2009-06-27, version 0*

Everytime I press play to hear what I recorded my vocals are off beat! I didn't have this problem a week ago it just happened out of the blue. When this problem is fixed this app will get 5 stars from me, but for now it's at a 1.

### 5/5 — On top of updates

*2008-12-07, version 0*

This is a program that is always evolving. The developer is right on top of his product and is always making it better and even better. Now all you need is a DSP of should I say RST for a little reverb and compression! Get the program, it only gets better and better

### 5/5 — such a great idea i'm not even going to be that harsh...

*2008-12-05, version 0*

i've been waiting for someone to come out w/ a multi-track program for the iphone, and i view this as a proof of concept (though one that's not quite ready for the price).   the sound's actually pretty good, but here are some features that need to be addressed:1.  there needs to be a way to name, "mix," and save to a combined audio track.  ideally one would be able to upload this to a mac/pc, but at least be able to play back on the iphone w/o having to keep the four tracker tied up.2.  there needs to be a way to delete/clear all four tracks so you can get a clean work space for your next song. (UPDATE:  DONE)3.  there needs to be individual playback level controls for each track (an when apple ever allows it, mic input level controls during recording).  (UPDATE:  DONE)good luck to the developer.  the gauntlet has been thrown down, and i'm eager to see what folks come up with...UPDATE:The developer has added many of the features I've been wanting.  REALLY looking forward to higher-end version promised on their website!  YES!

### 5/5 — Super App for writing songs!

*2008-11-30, version 0*

it's great app. with version 1.3 we can save our demo's! Thanks for this update - guys!!! I've been waiting for it)

### 5/5 — Love It!!  Cant Wait For the Update

*2008-10-28, version 0*

I cant wait for the update For this to Be able to save the tracks and upload them to the computer...  Would be nice if able to load individual up and then mix them out on the computer...  I sure would like to also have full volume playback of the other tracks through the built in speaker when recording from the built in Mic.....Beautifull Application...  Please Get us the Update So I Can Generate Some Cool On The Spot Tunes...

### 5/5 — Favorite App.

*2008-10-12, version 0*

Thanks for making this app. I can now write a song on my lunch break. I have had zero problems with it since the update. It would be cool to save or upload digitally, but I'm sure that's coming. Big deal. I have written some cool stuff thanks to this and it wouldn't have happened before. That makes it well worth a few bucks. This is totally my favorite app. A great tool. I'm a bit surprised by the negative reviews. I look forward to the next update!
