Good but no mp3 export
I end up using alternatives because I can’t properly export my songs
Was great on my pc, does not work with my apple products
I found this a super compositional tool on my website pc but now I’m on a Mac there is no clear way to tell the programme where to find my .Mbc files. On iPhone I’ve tried putting them into Files in a folder called Music Box Composer and I’ve tried “open with” but the Mbc app won’t show up as an option. I’m sure I’m just being inept but I’ve looked everywhere for documentation to assist me and can’t find anything anywhere - would be so grateful for a steer on how I get my pre existing Mbc files to open on iPhone or MacBook.

Used to work fine but now no sound
This app used to be really cool for helping transfer comps onto paper strips and not sure what happened but now NO SOUND. Checked silent mode on side of phone and settings to make sure sound was enabled across the board and still no sound. Also PLAY button doesn’t work anymore. Dev should update especially since there’s been an increase in hobbies/art since pandemic.
UPDATE: Reinstalled and toggled sound. Working again. Dev should still consider updating to avoid confusion with new downloads. Can see potential purchasers getting frustrated trying to troubleshoot issues that should not be there in 2022. Good app. Better with minor fixes.

BEST APP FOR DIY MUSIC BOX PROJECTS!!
I wanted to make a music box for my niece and having no idea where to start was daunting. This app made my personal song come out fantastic!! It made it so easy just select whether you have a 15, 20 or 30 note box, write your music, and then it prints out the template for you that fits perfectly onto the actual strip so you just punch out the holes that are already marked for you. Couldn’t have done such a good job and so easily without this app. Worth every penny!!

No sound?
I paid $6 for this app and it doesn’t even have sound for some reason. I’ve tried every button and setting but nothing works and the tutorial doesn’t even explain half of the buttons anyway. I don’t know if this is due to a recent iOS update or what, but this app is currently useless.
Lack of support
No support, I have a problem with the app, tried emailing them, no reply. Obviously no respect for their customers.
Garbage
If I could only find the exported file to print out a tape.... don’t buy. apple should remove from the store. And I should get a refund
Meh
Really great app, and it would be 5 stars but not all the features work. I go to the website to try and download a user made song, and it won’t open the app from there. :(
No sound on iPad
There is no sound no matter what I do. In all the other reviews with sound issues, the solution is the mute switch, which doesn’t exist on this iPad. Please help, I would like to make songs again!
Needs improvements
This is a great app if your making a quick tune, but I want to do a full song and so this app is very restrictive, it’s not long enough, there is a plus and a minus symbol at the end making it seem like I should be able to make it longer but it doesn’t seem to work also the tutorial doesn’t mention all of the buttons so I still don’t know what half of them do. On top of that there is one point where it stops when I’m trying to play it and I have to manually move it past and resume it then, and another point where it refuses to do anything past it

Needs update for apple iOS 12
This used to be a fantastic app but no longer supports iOS 12, when downloading files from the internet or sending compositions from one iPad to another. What a shame - it means that I have to copy manually to my new iPad, all my previously saved music.
Can’t save it
I can’t email it to anyone let alone myself because the mail app is buggy and I have no way to download it to my phone. Give me a way to save it on my phone or a different option for email.
Can’t open .midi files (iPhone)
It crashes everytime I try to load a custom midi file. Will this get fixed?
Glad I found this wonderful app!
I found this app through Youtube. Grant, the app developer, was very helpful in upgrading the app to work on iOS11. As per my request, he also added Files app capability. Thank you very much for developing this app.
Great
Thanks for updating the app.
3 stars because it needs an update. Apple says this app will
not work with IOS 11. Does that mean I'll lose all my work?
PLEASE UPDATE
It provides a fun way to work out harmonic and rhythmic ideas very quickly. I've written close to 100 short tunes, many of which are in 3 because, well, it's a music box.
MBC could use an update (according to my ipad) to make it work better with the current OS. Maybe it's a memory hog since it does crash quite often. Helps if you save work as you go.
Thanks for a nice app.

It's had an update now - works on iOS11
Used to use it...
When’re you gonna update it so it works on iOS 11?
Response from developer
Done!
Here's the fix if you have no sound!
Turn off your mute/ringer switch on the side of your phone. That fixes it.
Great app, really wish their was a user guide. The tutorial is very small/basic and the program is difficult to learn.

Love
I think this is a great app. I love making tunes it is so easy.
Fab App
Really enjoying this nifty bit of kit. Well worth the money. Easy to use and quick to pick up.
My only gripe is saving to local storage on iPad. Being able to mail .wav or .midi would be excellent. Overall a fab way to sketch tunes or save a bit or paper!

No sound Iphone 5s
No sound....
Reset Iphone, fiddled with sound controls, nothing.
Screen controls are *really* small-- needed to use the "magnifier" to see and touch.
Help?

For the sound issue, check the mute switch on the side of your phone.
