Love the App and Still Engage 10 Years Later

Will there be an update to the app that allows it to work with iOS 16?

Make it 64-but compatible please!

Love this app, one of the early Bjork apps.
Now it needs to be updated by the developer to run in future versions of iOS.
We're now near the Winter Solstice & Xmas 2017 so perfect time to update -- pretty please!! Thank you!

please update

please please please update for iOS11

Fun and interesting App

In the beginning I was not sure how create the sounds, but decided to played around with App. and got the hang of it. The App is fun to experiment, have fun and play with the sounds. I enjoyed the experience the App offered. cheers

I hate to rain on everyone's parade🚿

But maybe it's just one of those things where you need to be a huge Bjork fan... I like her stuff and the app is alright, but the price is FLATE ridiculous! It's free now and when I got it....
