Minus 1 star for this bug. Otherwise an inspirational tool! Also I paid for the app and have all 4 tracks but the App Store suggests I need to buy an in app purchase to unlock additional tracks. Is this a hangover from the app previously being free? ### 2/5 — Dead in the water, hold the Cream *2017-04-19* Why did the developer bother with this? The app was never fully realized and it was left unimproved after a bad beginning. Potential for creative use is not enough. In too many places this version of the software does not function well or properly or its possibilities lie hidden behind inscrutable interface elements. This app needs basic usability testing with fresh eyes (eyes attached to someone who uses and knows good music apps on this platform), then a thorough update and some useful documentation should follow. I held this review for a long time in hopes of a rescue. It should never have needed posting. ### 2/5 — So much potential. Seems abandoned. Don't buy until he adds Link or better sync support *2017-02-24* This is a "dense" app. I have the VST and love it. But in the iOS world a sequencer type app that doesnt have Link these days is automatic downrated. Add Link and this is a 5 star app. ### 5/5 — Maybe the best ARP in the App Store *2017-01-12, version 1.01* Already, this Knocks spots off the opposition. I am impressed with what can be achieved just dabbling around. The complexity of possibilities is such that I need to study the on-line manual. Just one issue; The app really needs Ableton Link. Nic ### 5/5 — Works great! *2016-07-02* Like the desktop version, with some extra features for audio output (the desktop version is MIDI only). Love it! Regarding others complaints, it worked instantly for me with no problems! The buttons are a little small, but still quite usable; I think some people just don't know how to tap with the tip of their finger. ### 2/5 — Wished I'd not spent the $10! *2016-03-18* Update: Finally got sound out of it. I have no idea what was wrong with the app. Added another star. The User Interface is pretty much unusable for me unless you have the finger size of a 4 year old. The developer has tried to cram too much into the screen. To use some settings I have to use a stylus which is ludicrous. ----- No matter what I do with signal into the app or try with Chord Memory, no sound, no effect...nothing. Many activation buttons are stupid small. They think everybody has the finger size of a 4 year old or what? Too bad these developers brought Windows and Mac concepts to touch devices instead of developing the app to "really use" touch screen design concepts. Then the app stopped loading. I had to reinstall it. Not giving me warm fuzzies. Really wished I'd not spent the $10 on this. ### 5/5 — Usually agree with nkersov... *2016-03-10, version 1.01* ...still do with this but it loses a star for poor quality manuals and treating iOS a the second class citizens we are...the vast majority of the brilliant tutorials are aimed at the desktop version of Cream...very handy but often irrelevant because of this. And this is the sort of app that I want to get my teeth into with a decent manual. Bloody brilliant on all other counts. ### 1/5 — Do not buy this *2016-02-02* Dear author, you have uploaded a version of the software that is not working and that is not fair. Dear Apple, you should refund your customer especially in this case where the software is not working as should be. I tried to communicate with Apple (few hours after the purchase) to obtain a refund but I didn't receive any answer. After this experience, I have not confidence in the Apple Store anymore and probably I won't buy as in the past. Dear musician friends do not buy this because you won't get a refund. ### 5/5 — So much more than an arp tool *2016-01-07* Saying is again: Brilliant application, caring support (already). Apple take note, this is some iOS music rocket science... ## Frequently asked questions about Cream Mobile ### What is Cream Mobile?
