### 4/5 — reverse feature gone ?

*2026-07-15, version 2.11.3*

i’m an ex-android user , and i’ve noticed a variety of features added that the android version didn’t have , but why’s the reverse button gone ? i liked that feature , it’d be nice to have it back . i also noticed that the starting point buttons are delayed during freeplay ? that’s really annoying . still , a very fun app !

### 1/5 — How to use??

*2026-07-13, version 2.11.3*

No instructions.

### 5/5 — Neeeeds Link Audio

*2026-05-13, version 2.11.3*

If ever any app needed Ableton Link Audio… that would perfect ABG. you could use it as the instrument it was always supposed to be.

### 5/5 — Amen Break Generator.

*2026-04-13, version 2.11.3*

Excellent app👍

### 1/5 — Was great but stopped working

*2026-04-10, version 2.11.3*

I enjoyed using this app, however now whenever I open it there is no sound. I can see the app is working but nothing can get the sound to work.

### 1/5 — App immediately stopped playing sound 2 minutes after downloading

*2026-04-07, version 2.11.3*

What happened

### 1/5 — No good as auv3

*2026-03-06, version 2.11.3*

Good when playing standalone but doesn’t save recordings in files to load into garage band 

Also doesn’t load properly auv3 either

In other words, it’s a toy but not a tool for production 

Deleted and refund on its way

### 5/5 — This is Fun

*2026-02-14, version 2.11.3*

It’s a machine that works as intended

### 1/5 — App doesn’t work as advertised

*2026-02-07, version 2.11.3*

I’ve reached out to the developers multiple times about the recordings not saving to my device (like they advertised) and was met with a big nothing burger, no solution was offered but my messages were read. I’ve taken a break from using the app hoping that maybe an update would come out and fix the issue…I was wrong do not waste your money.
