Potential, but it’s not there yet
While it’s not something I can use now, I’ll check back in a few months to see if there are bug fixes, because it is a promising app.

Hello! You can use bluetooth headphone/airbuds. The recording won’t work as you need headphone/airbuds to records to prevent audio feedbacks.
Will be fantastic with some fixes & updates
On my device (base model ipad, os26) Importing a stereo wav file apparently results in a mono sum with one channel delayed about a quarter second - the same delay I get when recording overdubs. Can't tell if there's a delay when not dubbing over an imported file.
hitting rewind while playing results in the play head returning to start and scrolling but no audio.
A setting to use audio interface inputs rather than the onboard mic would be useful.
Don't know how useful the reverb is past 10-15% mix (given the long tail). That might be true to how a physical plate reverb functions (i don't know) but maybe truncate the slider values to between 0 & 30% or so?
Like the "one knob" execution of the EQ/filter, but maybe make those and the volume sliders vertical?
The interface is a bit sluggish in general with sliders lagging visually (and fx effects lagging audibly) and button presses appearing to trigger on "mouse up".
Hope there are at least a couple revisions, because this shows real promise in a severely underserved "market".

Thanks so much for the detailed feedback — really appreciate it. This version wasn’t actually meant to be installable on iPad yet, since it’s not optimized for iPadOS at all, but somehow a few people were still able to download it. That explains the sluggish UI, slider lag, rewind issues, and also the mono export + delayed channel — all of that lines up with the current build not officially supporting iPad. That said, I’m already working on an update that brings proper iPad support, layout tweaks, and overall performance improvements. That update is planned for January, and it should make the experience much smoother. Also — I added your suggestions to my todo list. Super helpful. Thanks again for taking the time to write this — feedback like yours really helps me shape the next versions.
