Keeps crashing, audio drops out, can’t save recordings (or at least can’t find how to in UI). Wish the playable screen was bigger.

Sorry about the crashes and audio dropouts! As a workaround for recording, you can use screen recording for now. I’m working on adding in-app audio recording soon. Could you email me at corey@soulyftaudio.com with your device info and crash details? It’ll help me fix things. Thanks for your patience! App doesn’t turn off in the background going on 15hrs now . Tone modulation doesn’t work. Gradients are purely visual. No sequencer. Honestly, drop the price until you get a handle on this. For some reason I can’t request a refund, prob not the devs fault. I don’t want to report it but I feel ripped off. Sorry if that’s harsh dude, I know it was a lot of work.
The gradients should indicate tone or octave. Fx control should be on screen with the gradient and lockable. I started with 3 stars and just had to settle on 1. If you plan on selling it, fix it first, if it was free or 0.99 until 2.0 that may be a good idea.

Thanks for the feedback and for giving Gradient Synth a try! I totally understand your concerns. There is an option to stop the app from running in the background if you check the settings. If you’re curious about how the colors interact with sound, it’s not just visual – feel free to explore more at manual.gradientsynth.com.
As an indie developer, I really appreciate your honesty. I’m always working on improvements, so if there's anything else I can help with or if you have specific ideas on how the gradients should indicate "tone or octave", please let me know!
Thanks again for your support and for trying it out! Deeeee…… COLOURS!
Fx controls disappear, no way to stop amd reaet play back… no easy way to input custom scales
No using accelerometer or Tilt and yaw to control effects…. Noise.io made a much better version of this 18 years ago then never updated
This app has potential… the creators have a lot of work ahead of them… please take the challengs i believe in you, will give 5 stars later

Challenge accepted!
Some of your requests, like inputting custom scales, are currently available. I'll work on a fun implementation of tilt and yaw controls next. As a solo app developer on this project, I truly appreciate the feedback.
If you'd like to learn more about the current features, including a panic button to stop and reset playback, you can find the manual online at manual.gradientsynth.comUpon first glance it has a fun interface with a fast learning curve. The more you use it, you’ll find all sorts of ways to dial in and modify your sound. Complements traditional synths and plug-ins pretty well.
Instant melodies . A wonderful app. Can you make it so one’s creations can be shared?
Developer Response
Thank you! This is a great idea, I am working on sharing features right now. A current "work around" is to use the system screen recording. Please send me an email at corey@soulyftaudio.com if you have a specific way you'd like to share your creations.Abstract color is the best way to explore music!!!
Really fun to play and experiment with! Great app for a broad range of users. From kid play to creative inspiration, it’s a color and sound musical playground!

thanks mom!I’ve only had this app for 5 minutes and already in love with it. Fun and useful for well seasoned musicians AND for people who aren’t. I love the design and playfulness of it. 10 out of 10 I highly recommend!
