User reviews

Just as Described

Playful, fun and inspiring.

Instant gratification

Out of dozens of music apps I’ve downloaded in the past couple of years this one by far the most fun to use . Simple and intuitive yet capable of producing complex and unique textures.
Well done!

Reviewed after update

Changing my zero star rating to 5 stars.

Developer fixed the microphone bug (Dec 2019) with an update and the app works again.

Super fun to play with and very easy to make something musical out of random noises. I especially like the bitcrusher and how it interacts. Thanks!

Crashes when I hit record

This app is really cool, but it recently started crashing every time I hit the record button. I would love to get it working again. Five stars when it’s working. Using iso 13.1.3

Nice!

Super fun and easy to use app. I turned my four year old loose on it and we have had a whole fun day of making crazy noises. Definitely going to plug this noise maker in after bedtime and do some recording with it.
