If this would be fixed, this App is wonderful ### 4/5 — Great App! Needs one thing…. *2024-05-24, version 2.7* I love this app. It’s the only gestural synth that can play back samples that I am aware of on the iPhone. I really love it. However, it only allows file sharing with iTunes. You can’t connect to Google Drive or even Dropbox to load samples into it. I know it is asking a lot of a free app, but this is so well done. If they would just add Google Drive downloads or at least enable sharing with the AudioShare app. If the developers read this, please, please add Google Drive as a way to import audio files. I am an experimental musician and like to edit my samples on the desktop, not my phone. This would raise this app up a notch. Heck, I’d pay for that option. ### 2/5 — Non funziona più *2023-02-02, version 2.6* Peccato, perché era divertente. Occorre sicuramente un aggiornamento. ### 3/5 — It's one of my favorite apps. *2022-12-03* But since I updated to iOS 16, there was no sound at all. Of course, Drambo can do something similar, but the nuances are a little different and it doesn't sound exactly the same feeling. I would like you to respond with an update. I look forward to working with you. ### 4/5 — No longer works *2022-10-13, version 2.6* Loved the app but it no longer makes any sound on ios16 ### 4/5 — Needs An Update for iOS 9 and iPhone 6/plus *2016-03-17, version 2.5* Please keep this app going as its a wonderful product. Updated AB sdk etc. keeps the professional musicians interested as well. ### 5/5 — 1パートのカオシレーターとして *2015-10-07* 遊べる。 そう、曲のスケールを設定しておくだけでイイ。それで掴んだままひっくり返したり、扇いだり（笑） ### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!!!!! *2015-07-11* An amazing app that coverts the iPhone to a true music instrument - I love it! ### 4/5 — Nice *2015-07-05* Motion-controlled synth with many settings, instruments incl. theremin. Still works on my 5s! ### 5/5 — The best thing ever!!!! *2015-06-27, version 2.5* The record function is finally fixed!!! So freaking awesome!! Thanks!!!! ### 5/5 — Very happy! *2014-12-09, version 2.5* I have loved this app forever but was pretty bummed when it didn't work with iOS 8. Now it does!!! Woo Hoo! Just one thing though is I've never been able to get the sampler to actually record from my mic input. Not on the previous version or this one. Other than that I absolutely love it. ### 5/5 — Just one thing *2014-11-14, version 2.5* Can we get labels for the notes....spell it out, please ### 5/5 — ios8 supported! *2014-11-04, version 2.5* My favourite ### 5/5 — Totally awesome *2014-11-02, version 2.5* Thanks for the ios8 update! Best sound toy in the AppStore. Theremin++ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nice idea but useless *2025-09-27* This would be quite useable if it worked in AUM or Audiobus with some lush delays etc but it doesn’t. Both see it but can’t launch it, so no good to me and deleted it gets! ### 1/5 — No sound *2023-04-25, version 2.7* No sound no matter what I do. Does nothing. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-04-14, version 2.6* It just works on 1st time once installed later nothing happens… I tried it on iPhone 13. Fix the issue and release the next update…. ### 1/5 — Crashed and would not work *2023-02-18, version 2.6* Bought app today and worked great first time around. Tried a second time and it did not work. ### 1/5 — Kein 64Bit-Update!? *2017-09-07, version 2.5* Schade ### 1/5 — Sampler doesn't work still! *2015-01-30, version 2.5* What's the point of having a record button if it doesn't work? It's been like this at least since iOS 6 when I got my iPhone 5. Now that they released an update for iOS 8, I though it would've been addressed, but I was very wrong, what else can I say. ### 1/5 — iOS 8 = crash upon launch *2014-10-31, version 2.4* No recent patches ### 1/5 — Necesita actualización *2014-10-30, version 2.4* Es una aplicación muy interesante, pero dejó de funcionar con iOS 8.. ### 1/5 — Non funziona. *2014-10-29, version 2.4* Non si apre più. Cracca in continuazione. Peccato!! ### 1/5 — Crashes when starting *2014-10-25, version 2.4* It crashes every time I try to start it in iOS 8.1 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this *2026-06-18, version 2.8* Excellent!!! ### 5/5 — Most fun instrument! *2025-08-04, version 2.7* I hope more people download this and they develop it further. It’s so so good and so so fun ### 5/5 — Still unique *2018-01-31* I've had this app since my iPhone 4. Most get deleted but not this one. And now this app developer does my new fave iOS synth, sunrizer. Well done beep street. Someone is doing things right. ### 5/5 — Thanks 🙏 *2017-09-20, version 2.5* This is a great application and I'm happy that it will be supported on iOS 11. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2017-09-19, version 2.5* Very cool wish they would update ### 5/5 — Love it! *2017-07-08, version 2.5* Playing with this for hours from time to time. Would be pity if it couldn't run on iOS 11. Hope for updates. ### 5/5 — Eine bitte *2017-05-16, version 2.5* Bringt ein Update damit wir weiter die APP nutzen können ### 5/5 — Saw it live *2016-12-01, version 2.5* Saw Ruby use this in a live set at The Lovecraft in Portland. Sounded great, bought it! ### 5/5 — Excelente *2016-03-19, version 2.5* Muy buena aplicación y entretenida!!.. Novedosa e interactiva... ### 5/5 — Wonderful new instrument. *2016-02-23, version 2.5* This thing is just awesome. Update please! It needs more features. There needs to be option of all octaves available at once- middle C reset location and choice over sensitivity and pitch change direction. A realtime display of note and sharp/flat. Vibrate at pitch change option- Screen touch buttons/surfaces options for manipulation live. Add reverb and control over reverb/delay parameters. More midi control options. Please consider these ideas and update this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
