This is why I bought an iPad

I’ve used both versions of Nano Studio and love them both. NS2 is the reason I got an iPad and it’s the reason I have updates turned off. I’m terrified of losing it to a rogue update. Thanks for creating this. I was creating amazing music years ago, even way back on my iPhone 4. It’s come a long way since then. It’s amazing what you’ve created! I’m a huge fan!

Amazing Daw

I’ve only just found this app and it’s pretty amazing. I read somewhere that this app is being removed soon as it’s not supported? :( will there be another version? This Daw is awesome.

sketchy …

contact dev facility gone, user forum gone, apparently this will soon be permanently removed & also no thanks to iOS unloading apps after a certain amount of time means I may not be able to use download this anymore after having paid money for it, to say nothing about iOS updates eventually rendering it unusable on most devices, like with ns1, what a waste, so much for all that, thanks for nothing … 🙄 of course this attitude will be seen as blasphemous by the devs fawning sycophants, but whatever … maybe i need to grab some vintage hardware & use something that stays around lol

2nd guessing my Logic Pro subscription

This has to be the one of the best DAWs on the App Store! Everything is quick, intuitive, and easy to use. Started laying tracks and adding FX in just minutes on my first launch. Tracks are easy to add and manage. Love the way this handles AUv3s (so much quicker and easier than Logic Pro). I literally have only two complaints: 1. There are no audio tracks!? I think this is the only thing stopping me from switching to this DAW exclusively. 2. Why is there no paid content or premium version? I would gladly pay $$$ for more sound packs / factory plugins / expansions / features! Either way, great piece and hope to see new content / updates in the future!
