Disappointed

I make professional quality Shakers and have taught shaker playing for 30 years, the egg shaker makes barely a sound and it's not very clean, I expected more. I do like the final two sounds that he has, space cubes and something else, tambourine is not very good either, oh well, figured I'd give it a try. The Morocco was Soso, looking forward to finding the right app, originally thought I'd make one but I had to look and see what's out there!

Needs Improvement

Theres a feature within the app to turn on so sounds play continuously on your phone even when it goes to sleep. Doesnt work for long. The only way to temporarily fix this is to close and restart the app in which case itll work again for a short time. Who wants that? Fix the app please, Ive had it for years. When I first got it, it worked fine. What happened?
