Live mode: grains no longer jump when the record head passes the play position. Recording into a live loop used to move any grain the record head was about to overwrite. You heard that as the cloud lurching backward and then forward again each time the head swept past. Now the buffer crossfades underneath instead, so the sound morphs from what was already in the loop to what you are recording, and grains stay where you put them.
MoreThanks for flagging this: you found a real bug. The playhead screen had no way to close it on some phones, so you were stuck force-quitting to get out. It is fixed in the update that's live now (version 1.3.2). Sorry for the hassle, and thanks for taking the time to report it.
