User reviews

I miss this app. Bring it back pls

Please bring this back

I hope this app stays around many more years

It’s too good to lose in the mists of the Apple Store.

This app is cool but...

Its pretty disappointing that you can’t use with Earpods

It’s a full DAW for iOS for .50 per month. Give devs $ to keep working on it!

This app is AMAZING. It has so much power and potential, and has features I’ve never seen in any other music software, and it’s FREE WITH NO IN APP PURCHASES OR ADS!(edit: its 50 cents a month. My bad. I honestly didn’t even notice any ads. Subscribed!) This is clearly a labor of love that deserves recognition and funding to be refined into the absolute powerhouse it can be! A few UI tweaks for streamlining the playability and some stability and latency improvements, and this could be on par with the big dogs.

Also it has a lightweight but full featured tape recorder device that could be a standalone paid app in and of itself. Essentially a sampler with a tapedeck “scratching” effect, that if polished up a bit, would be a bit like the tape effect on the teenage engineering OP-Z.

To frame it for you: I downloaded this on a whim, not even reading more than a sentence it two about it. I’ve maybe left 2 other App Store reviews in the past 10 years. I’ve spent all of 20 minutes with the app and it’s already crashed once, and *THIS IS STILL A GENUINE FIVE STAR REVIEW* That’s how good this app is, based on potential alone. Please, someone richer than me give the developer all the money to give this the work it needs to go from cult classic to literally bar-setting.

This is great but,

This has so much potential, please make it more universal!
