Clunky IAA is a workflow killer

The lack of AUv3 integration makes using this app in a host, such as AUM, a really clunky affair - jumping between screens is a real workflow killer. Their other apps enjoy regular (and great!) updates, hopefully this will get some love too then it really will be a 5 star app.
