Great App, BUT

Great app, but occasionally it tells me the in-app purchases are unavailable and then I have to restore them. That creates a reliance on the internet. I know internet is very common, but please fix this. The other apps that connect to Korg Gadget lose their in-app purchases too and I have to click restore. I've purchased all the Korg Gadget gadgets and the Korg apps that add gadgets to the Korg Gadget app. I should never have to restore purchases on devices that I have been using these apps on for a very long time.

It’s a very fun groove box on steroids

If you can get along with the simple sequencer (very normal piano roll sequencer that can easily record what you play and with some other integrated features), this could be your best musical friend. It costs a bit to turn the whole thing on but you don’t need to buy it all (I started off telling myself that at least) and the stuff that comes with it even using no iaps, it is killer for a groove box.
But all the presets and in app purchases from all the Korg apps come back and work in here. There’s a version of all of their iOS synths and they are even all auv3s now (each individual instrument on its own, not Gadget as one, and you can’t bring auv3s into Gadget, just fwiw)
If you happen to own the sick and awesome Korg keystage as your midi controller or are contemplating purchasing one, this is THE WAY. Every little dial, transfer control and digital screen automatically assigns and works with Gadget 3 AND with Module.
This and Module are super powerful with Korg keystage as your midi keyboard/controller. That integration is what drove me to finally write a review for this app I’ve been using for many years happily.

Korg Gadget 3 is My Permanent go to But can you ?

Can you do an update to be able to do track bouncing, and copy, paste, merging ….etc

USER BEWARE DEVASTATED

I used to really love this app it was my go to for YEARS. Out of the blue yesterday crashed on startup, I restarted my phone several times & same result, no new updates, so only option was to uninstall & reinstall app to see if that would fix it, but I found out the hard way this app does NOT SAVE YOUR DATA. So beware on deleting, so many years of projects gone in an instant.
