User reviews

not very good… too many bugs, needs work!

the UI and the interaction is not very well done, also yesterday I tried to play a longer file, 21 min. and in the second half of the file it is glitching out with the high frequencies, all the other audio players and editors I have play the file just fine. IDK what is causing this but it makes it unusable, unfortunately, I wanted to like this app but it keeps disappointing.

Hunh? What just hap…

1) Stand alone app has no record capability, no icon to record input. No related facets in app section of iOS Settings.
2) App support sends me out to an unknown vendor with mega cookies and nothing related to the app nor a place to get help.
3. Online help in the app is outdated to solve the problem.
4. No recording for me today🫩

Record button is gone

This is a weird audio editor, but I had decided to make it my main recording app for spoken recordings. It’s a bit difficult to use because it’s unconventional. However, it’s quite powerful with good features and appears to be worth learning.

But, I’m not sure what happened, but the record button seems to have disappeared and this is true on three different devices. I tried restarting my iPad, reinstalling, uninstalling followed by shutting down and reinstalling, but nothing worked. I tried looking to see if the microphone setting had been turned off, but the app doesn’t even show up in the list of apps that request it.

I went to the 4pockets website to message the dev and it’s down. Not sure what else to do except to leave this review to potentially get some help. If I can get this solved, I’ll rerate the app.

An issue with Neon while trying to play recorded files

I have always loved Neon from day 1. Today this is the first time this has happened to me. I was playing a song I had recorded and mastered from a folder. It wouldn't play, instead Neon opened and it said the song was sent to my 'Export' Folder. I wasn't using Neon and I'm certain Neon wasn't used anywhere in the recording process. I thought that was weird. Closed it out. Tried it on another song. Same thing. I tried it on a couple more. Same. So I uninstalled Neon. No problem. I haven't tried reinstalling it.

What about middle aged eyes?

I haven’t figured out a way to increase the font size. It’s rather difficult to read on an iPhone 12 Pro whether standalone or as an Auv3 . Please advise
