I also slept on this for too long…

I’ve been looking for a synth with a breadth of possible tones,lots of modulations, but also well designed for the iPad screen not just a porting over of a synth. The modulation matrix is a dream and the variety is endless. Grab it while it’s on sale if you can, and if you can’t just grab it anyway….

Doesn't respond to standard iOS gestures, like swiping up to swap apps.

As the title says, I had to swip down to get to notifications, just to open another app. That the app doesn't follow standard iOS UI norms is ridiculous.
