User reviews

"Found" sound audio looper with effects.

Does what it says on the box. Not bad at all.

Wonderful thing.

I love audio apps like this I must admit. This is something different and off-the-wall but also very, very useable. Great for making unusual loops and sounds to paste into other projects or just for plain amusement. 5 stars for originality and making me chuckle.

Has good potential!

This app has good potential if they could address a few issues. Firstly no ability to play back what you have recorded (it's a pain you have to export out of iTunes) and secondly the user interface is awful! I like the design and what they have tried with it but the controls are unnecessarily awkward and fiddly because of the layout and size of the screen. Also (and this could just be me) the three recording loops seem confusing to use, never being sure if you have overwritten the loop or the loop has recorded the previous loop! If these could be resolved this would be a five star app. It's very similar to the Inception app (but you have better control here) with great effects. I hope there are more updates with more effects and a revamp of the screen controls because this app has great potential!
