### 5/5 — The store update is not working now

*2025-06-28*

Help

### 5/5 — Best Kept Secret

*2025-05-13, version 1.2.5*

Please continue adding new sample packs! Thanks in advance! -AprilRox Studios 🎶🔥

### 3/5 — One problem!

*2024-10-12, version 1.2.5*

This plug-in is great! I would rate higher if the sample import would allow me to cut the sample right in the app! I’m usually sampling entire songs, and since Chomplr only allows 100 seconds to the imported, I have to go somewhere else to cut it. Please add this feature!🙏

### 5/5 — Vibe CREATOR!!

*2024-09-30*

INSTANT VYBEZ! I love the fact that every time I load Chomplr it throws me a random sample chopped up. Almost every time it becomes a beat, it’s almost like a daily challenge 🔥. Additional packs are so cheap and worth it times a million. My only gripe is no velocity sensitivity for midi controllers, unless I’m missing something? Regardless, would give 6 stars if I could! This thing is my new favorite thing!

### 5/5 — Best Kept Secret

*2024-09-25, version 1.2.5*

Please continue adding new sample packs! Thanks in advance! -AprilRox Studios 🎶

### 1/5 — Abandonware

*2024-04-01, version 1.2.5*

Another good idea that was abandoned when the developers did not make enough money. )-:

### 2/5 — you may have to pay royalties

*2023-12-28, version 1.2.5*

read the fine print with these guys. they are great producers but also very strict with their samples.

### 5/5 — Please keep updated

*2023-06-26*

An excellent app - seriously I’ve tried many many. Now with user import it gets really interesting. It’s absolutely great to control - it just has this hardware-like feel to it ( not sure exactly what I mean but it just does 😂) please, please don’t let it die! 👍

### 4/5 — Great Sampler w Built In Store

*2023-05-02, version 1.2.5*

Very good product. The only issue is that UI is chopped off in iPad Mini. Pls fix!!

### 5/5 — Satisfied

*2023-04-07*

Not only is this an amazing product, one of the greatest gifts to a producer or musician is product support. That to me is what makes the difference in deciding which software to go with. I appreciate the quick response to my situation and the benefits of Chomplr itself. Thank you.
