Maybe you can tell me how to get it back on my Home Screen. I tried holding the icon but appear on home screen is not shown. ### 2/5 — Funktioniert nicht! *2023-10-24* Weder Midiübertragung noch Audiooutput funktionieren bei mir. Lediglich die Vorschau der Tracks liefert bei mir einen Output. ### 3/5 — Actualización para cambio de tiempo automático en una pista *2023-08-24, version 2.11.1* La app es muy buena, de hecho la utilizo para hacer mis samples y pistas, pero he batallado mucho con poder automatizar el tiempo de una pista, si quiero que comience lento y después valla subiendo no lo hace, estaría genial que pusieran esa función. ### 4/5 — Compatibilidad *2023-06-14, version 2.11.1* Hola, tengo Music Studio Lite, traté de conectarlo a mi controlador con WIDI (Vía midi por Bluetooth) Pero no se puede conectar. Será que en la versión completa si se puede? Podrán ayudarme con este tema por favor. Gracias! ### 3/5 — データが飛んだ *2023-05-16* 復元できない終わった ### 3/5 — It’s Decently Decent *2023-04-11, version 2.11.1* For a free/lite version of a DAW that you have to pay for, it’s alright, if you’re a beginner in music making and stuff ### 4/5 — 落ちる *2023-03-27* 2時間の練習で2回ソフトが落ちました。 Liteじゃない方を購入すると落ちないでしょうか ？ ### 2/5 — Can’t get rid of reverb *2023-02-16, version 2.11.1* I have tried everything, and it just reverbs on every single note. I can’t get rid of it. ### 3/5 — Bedienung *2022-10-28* Die App macht einen interessanten Eindruck. Sie ist für mich durch die eingeschränkte Sprachauswahl leider uninteressant. ### 5/5 — Good *2022-07-09, version 2.11.1* 👌 good ### 5/5 — 1877 kar4skids *2022-06-26, version 2.11.1* Pretty good for being free ### 4/5 — Good free start! *2022-05-24, version 2.11.1* Like the basic lite version..will purchase full! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I dont know how to delete the damn song it gives u *2026-02-26, version 2.11.1* The song it gives you is garbage i perfer garage bamd ### 1/5 — No vertical view *2025-11-01, version 2.11.1* If I could see it on my iPad in vertical view instead of horizontal, I’give much higher rating ### 1/5 — Erforderliche HARDWARE existiert noch nicht einmal *2025-02-01* Erforderliche Hardware: A 55 Bionic Chip 23 TB Arbeitsspeicher (Sonst reagiert die App möglicherweise nicht richtig) Hallo laut meinen Messung sind dies die erforderlichen Hardware Angaben zu deiner App ### 1/5 — Fix *2023-04-24, version 2.11.1* Update for iphone 10 and up Screen and track lining is off ### 1/5 — Piano Dust Buster Soundfont Not Great at all *2022-10-26, version 2.11.1* This is the worst app, The full version is better. My sf2 was not perfect and I need to export the sf2 to my files for free. Don’t buy it. ### 1/5 — Im sorry but no thanks *2022-03-19, version 2.11.1* Ok so i love making music and stuff like that. I tried out this app thinking it would be great. But i was wrong. When i tried to use the grand piano feature, it sounded like the juno thing. When i turned off the juno it still sounded the exact same. I also tried to refresh and delete a track and that didn't work either. Every time i tried, it kept saying “delete or clear” and i pressed clear and it still ended up with the same track. I tried delete the next time and the same thing happened. I refreshed and deleted this app to many times. Sorry but it’s true. I wish i could leave a better review. ### 1/5 — Joshua *2021-10-19, version 2.11.1* Add more updates ### 1/5 — its not working *2020-09-04, version 2.10.1* its not working i the menu is in the middle of the screen and i can’t select any thing i just can tap the pianu keys help please ### 1/5 — Glitch *2020-08-14, version 2.10.1* I’m on the piano and can’t get off. I had this app for months and this never happened ### 1/5 — Problem *2020-08-08* It does not even open correctly. Toolbar comes over the piano keys. Nothing is accessible. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gut *2026-08-03* Gut ### 5/5 — Hi *2026-02-06, version 2.11.1* Layers ### 5/5 — Super für „mal eben“ was machen *2025-11-09* Die lite-Version habe ich in 2025 nach Neukauf eines Ipad 11 aus meinen Backups wieder vorgekramt. Sie läuft auch auf neuer Hardware und ist eine Supertoolbox mit 11 Instrumenten, Metronom und ein paar Spuren. Einfach und schnell für Chor- und Bandproben , mit weniger Bloat als Garageband (für diesen Zweck natürlich nur). Ersetzt mehrere andere Apps in einem kleinen Paket unter 100MB. Like it! ### 5/5 — Must read!!! *2025-11-04, version 2.11.1* Hello, please add a quantize feature. It's absolutely essential for an app like this, and please add it to the free version! If so, when? ### 5/5 — Extremely great app *2025-09-16, version 2.11.1* Well recommended as it offers a ton of features as a portable DAW. One of the best app in the market! ### 5/5 — Amazing when you find out how to use it *2025-08-31, version 2.11.1* It’s really hard but when you get the hang of it and figure it out there’s so many opportunities and it’s really amazing. ### 5/5 — Really good but have a question.. *2024-03-07, version 2.11.1* Superb app and love playing the piano on it (self taught) The question I have is that somehow I don’t have access to the keyboard now and I’m unsure on how to get back on it.. it’s currently stuck on ‘waveform’.. hope someone can help? ### 5/5 — One of the easiest to learn, and some of the best sounds *2023-10-14* I can’t believe how quickly it took for me to navigate through this app, and I’ve been using one particular DIW for five years now and today I just download it music studio, and I’ve found that the sounds on this or far more usable and the quality is just absolutely through the roof! Awesome! ### 5/5 — Wouww !! *2023-02-19, version 2.11.1* Tam versiyon ve eklerinide hemen indiricem ****** ### 5/5 — It’s funny as heck😂😂😂😂 *2022-08-07, version 2.11.1* I love messing around with the chord buttons and setting all the keys into a single chord which I learned creates a dissonant sound and messing around with the metronomes after holding the preview button and pressing okay in the tempo settings to have the metronome sound playing permanently. I also have fun making red notes sound funny by overlapping every note 10 times and playing the song. I also love setting the reverb to the max and playing the song very loudly. I have the option to set the routing for the effects. Having the filter on nearly high pitched makes it sound like a smoke alarm. I love this app. It makes me laugh and try myself.
