Please fix that. For anything else, magic app, thanks ### 4/5 — Très complet *2018-04-20* A quand une mise à jour AU midi ? Ça serait vraiment super. ### 5/5 — Sehr schön *2017-08-13* und endlich 64 bit Support ! ### 5/5 — Great *2017-07-15* I love it! ### 5/5 — Must have Music App! Absolutely Stellar! *2017-07-06* While this app can definitely be used all by its self, I find it most useful as a midi control interface with other music apps. I use it for inspiration when making leads or melodies. Its really easy to use and works with most every iOS music app. ### 5/5 — Very happy to see the iPhone version go 64-bit! *2017-05-09* I was relieved to see the developer update the iPad version for 64-bit devices not too long ago, but the iPhone version is the one I used more and often, so I'm glad to see it will survive the 32-bit purge. ### 5/5 — Useful and beautiful *2017-05-05* Nothing elaborate to say, it's simply one of my favorites. Surprisingly, extraordinarily musical app. I love it. ### 5/5 — 64-bit YES! *2017-05-03, version 1.2.0* Very happy to know I will be able to continue using this app. I love playing with arpeggios and there are very few apps like this, especially on iPhone! (I don't have an iPad...) ### 5/5 — Musical Doodling *2017-05-03* Nice little app for making aural doodles ### 5/5 — This Developer Stands By His Products *2017-05-03* Arpeggionome is a handy and facile tool to help create and expand melodic or harmonic invention. A great deal too. ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2017-04-09, version 1.2.0* Just get it. Great results from this one. Fun and very musical. ### 5/5 — very playable arp *2017-04-08* highly tunable and playable. not something you can do with arpeggio features in a synth. ### 5/5 — great app, please update to 64bit *2017-04-07, version 1.2.0* great app, please update to 64bit ### 5/5 — Very Special sound, if you appreciate it! *2017-01-15* Some people say its annoying...like my parents...but i totally disagree. I mean, you can't compose music with it...no kidding...however, if you're a fan of electronic music like me, and have been for many many years, you have to appreciate the intense sound this app generates. I find a lot of versatility in the sounds. Tapping lightly, holding down, tapping quickly in ascending or semitonic increments. Just playing this baby down a long empty hallway, or building basement, underground parking lot, church hall, or anywhere with a good echo and its hard not to be impressed with the crispness and intensity of the sounds. There are a lot of tweaking options for types of arpeggios and timings. I think the sound can be manipulated to be quite beautiful actually. I enjoy this app several times a week. Thanks for creating it.! ### 5/5 — freaking awesome! *2016-09-24* nothing more to say. love it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Eingestaubtes UI, Möglichkeiten so-lala, Grafik auf Pac-Man Niveau *2023-08-11* Im Gegensatz zur inspirierenden App „Fugue Machine“ desselben Autors ist das hier ein einziger Reinfall. Vor 10 Jahren hätte das ganze Getilte, Gechüttele und Gebeuge für einen Wow-Effekt gesorgt. Im Jahre 2023 nichts Besonderes, andere können es besser. Zudem ist die Benutzerführung eine Strafe: Kein offensichtlicher Zugriff auf weitere Einstellungen, man kann noch nicht mal die Einleitung wiederholt abspielen lassen. Ich versuche es zurückzugeben, sonst hab ich Pech. ### 1/5 — Needs Ableton Link *2019-01-28* iPad version has Ableton link, unfortunately this does not ### 1/5 — I can't make the Pro upgrade, so no Midi for me *2017-01-08, version 1.2.0* The app is not allowing me to make an in-app purchase to unlock the midi functions-- the whole purpose for downloading the app. Otherwise I would love this, but I'm super frustrated ### 1/5 — Schrottiges Rumgepiepse *2016-12-22* Nicht mal kostenlos interessant ### 1/5 — 44% battery usage *2015-12-30, version 1.2.0* Must be a bug with background audio. ### 1/5 — Pro Upgrade Not Working!!!! *2015-12-02, version 1.2.0* Pro Upgrade Not Working!!!! I purchased it & got the pro upgrade. However, the app still keeps asking me to upgrade that's why I can't use the MIDI out!!! ### 1/5 — No Audiobus or inter-app audio support! *2015-02-15, version 1.2.0* Guys don't support a developer who won't update the iPhone version when it's necessary! There is no Audio-bus or inter-app Audio support except on the iPad version. Why not?? If we pay for an app give us all the features which includes updating the app as each iOS comes out. Very disappointed!!! ### 1/5 — ??? *2014-04-18* I don't get it and it's so annoying!!!!!! ### 1/5 — It is just a music player with few preset nice melodies *2013-08-03* I doubt that one can play a simple melody on that, only what is prerecorded, it is NOT an instrument or performance tool. It can change tempo and pitch of predefined arpeggio ### 1/5 — Sans grand interet *2013-05-25* Cette application n'est pas assez dynamique et ne propose pas assez de possibilités de contrôle ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Master engineer *2022-10-26* I am in music production for almost 20 years. This app is outstanding: buy it. I never right reviews and I am not being paid or benefiting from telling you this other than good karma for the tip. Your welcome. ### 5/5 — Instantly gratifying *2020-10-10* The first thing I did when I started tapping the screen was smile and laugh with the joy of a 10 year old on their birthday. Whether you enjoy composing, performing, mixing and sampling, using this as a MIDI controller, or just like something that sounds really cool when you play around. An incredibly enjoyable experience. My only ask would be some accessability improvements for voice over users. I can't really access anything than the pad. I have to turn off voice over to use it by myself. I bought this because a friend showed me what it could do. ### 5/5 — Спасибо большое за такое классное приложение *2020-06-12* Круть ### 5/5 — Stellar *2020-04-05* Midi out to your favourite app...then load that app into AUM or Audiobus and you have sooo many more options...thank u for giving this for free...much appreciated! ### 5/5 — I’m not a creator & I love it *2020-04-02* Reminds me the great 8bit music from the 90s, I just play for fun :) ### 5/5 — PRO upgrade gratis *2018-05-07, version 1.2.1* Please, waiting for instructions to freely Pro upgrade. Thank you ### 5/5 — Great App! *2018-04-17* This is a great app, 5 stars! ### 5/5 — Stromschlucker im Hintergrund *2018-01-25* Schock: 29% Batterieverbrauch und 4 Min. im Vordergrund - 59 Std. im Hintergrund! Da ist was faul. Muss das sein? Ist für mich nur ein Spielzeug ohne besonderen Wert. Aber nett gemacht. ### 5/5 — Lovely! *2017-09-21* So much fun to use.... ### 5/5 — Fascinating! *2017-09-17* I love this app! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
