Lots of fun, easy to use

This can be both, excellent and a waste of money, as always. It is an easy way to play ambient music for fun. It is very simple. And for this reason I love it.

Selbst kreierte Klänge

Ich mag die app sehr und nutze sie in großen abständen immer wieder, um selbst entspannte klänge zu produzieren, die ich dann über andere Schnittprogramme in meine Filme oder Entspannungsreisen einbaue.
