User reviews

Literally the best

I’ve been using the desktop version for four months and have completely integrated into my production line. I just grabbed this phone version today so I could make phone demos much more streamlined and Man comparably to a regular iPhone memos app this thing is beautiful. Beats band lab by miles, no other app compares imo- MCM MAX

Love this app!

I figured out the click once I received a response from the developer (You have to go to the menu button to set the click tempo and to upload a track). So thank you! I will definitely be using the app more. Could be a bit more simplistic to use, but overall II get the concept and like what this app can produce once you learn how to use it
