Made a good game but someone can steel yr song and say they made it . ### 4/5 — Bring Noise Back! *2023-11-07, version 3.3.1* I love this app, with it’s super expressive synths and kits and awesome effects. But I noticed NOISE.fm is not active anymore and neither is your soundpack store. I’d love to see this app make a comeback, as I use this a lot for sketching out ideas, plus the AU plugin is a production essential. But, I do feel like this app should have audio recording/importing and audio exporting. A step sequencer would also be nice! Also, you should bring back the flotation soundpack and any others that have been discontinued! ### 3/5 — Fun but buggy *2023-04-20, version 3.3.1* I regret to inform the devs about this but there is an awful issue that I have found that has nothing to do with my device, other than the lack of functionality for the rotational function to use the seaboard function. It will not rotate and screen lock is off and the phone still slows rotation of other apps. It is a pestilence that I hope can be fixed as I have spent almost $50 on this app for just sounds alone. Other than that there have been cases of songs I’ve made being randomly removed or deleted. It is a great app and I will continue to use it but I must ask for dev help with this issue. I miss my seaboard ### 2/5 — Wake up *2023-04-17, version 3.3.1* Wake up, you released a bunch of new hardwares when this app have been sleeping for years… no improvement at all ever, never, years since the last sound packs were released… poor to no control with the side controls too with the rise… seriously ! ### 2/5 — Pfft *2022-12-30, version 3.3.1* For the price of these things and possible capabilities and no updates since it came out , mehhh…🤨 ### 2/5 — Unsupported *2022-11-28, version 3.3.1* This app was very promising, but Roli seems to have stopped supporting it entirely, and there are critical bugs that need to be fixed. It has the potential to be a serious musical tool, but if it doesn’t have basic stability it’s nothing but a toy. I advise against investing in their hardware, even if you only plan to use the PC software, given the company apparently doesn’t have a long-term commitment to their customers. I’d be happy to pay for a version that is actually maintained, but I’m also not sure I ever want to do business with Roli again, given their attitude here. ### 4/5 — It doesn’t work with ROLI LUMI KEYS *2022-11-13, version 3.3.1* Please update ### 2/5 — UI Disappears, App is a black screen *2022-04-12, version 3.3.1* This app does not run well on iOS devices. The screen is devoid of most UI elements when you launch it and log in. The app appears to be no longer supported since this issue has been present for over a year (as of Apr 2022), so I would caution anyone against buying products associated with this app. ### 2/5 — Login journey fail *2022-03-24, version 3.3.1* Needs to support copy paste at least of existing account password if not keychain. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App does not work *2025-12-01, version 3.3.1* App does not work, seems everything was updated last 7 years ago. Only feels like a waste of time trying to even use it, you also can not reach support to determine any issues or ticket support for the app. ### 1/5 — Update so it stops crashing *2025-06-28, version 3.3.1* I spent money on the noise store and now when I use swam presets it. Rashes ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2025-05-04, version 3.3.1* This app works, just. But is so glitchy and temperamental it is just frustrating to use. Rubbish interface that takes too much effort and time to work out. Really needs updating. I can't understand Roku bringing out all these new products but providing no supports for old products. Update this useless app-please. ### 1/5 — Can’t create an account. *2023-03-08, version 3.3.1* Says my email address is not unique or is invalid. Can’t download the sound packs. This app is trash. Really wish the company would step it up a notch if they want to be taken serious by producers ### 1/5 — Bad, fix it *2022-08-08, version 3.3.1* One fault about this app is that when I tried to sign up it keeps saying oh dear connection timed out check your internet connection, when my Internet is perfectly fine. so that’s some thing you have to fix. ### 1/5 — unuseable *2022-07-25, version 3.3.1* what a shame. ### 1/5 — Lovely hardware utterly ruined by terrible software *2022-05-06, version 3.3.1* I really want to use my Lightpad Block more often. Unfortunately I only use it when the memory of the execrable software has dimmed to the point where I think “maybe I’ll try it again”. So less than once a year. It’s such a shame. The hardware is lovely, and begs to be played with and used. You just have to wade through the single worst software experience in professional music production. Mostly I just give up. Let me enumerate the problems: 1. It’s a confusing mess to figure out what bloated software you’re supposed to use to configure the damn things. They provide ROLI Connect and ROLI Dashboard. There’s also Noize. There’s also a promise of something called the ROLI Software Suite. I’ve never managed to install that because ROLI Connect is jealous of it and cryptically announces “Something went wrong”. No, really? You want to set up your device? Well that’s obviously Connect. Except wait, sometimes it’s Dashboard. And what’s this? Neither will connect the device via Bluetooth? Ah that’s a series of incantations and spells best conducted at midnight during the solstice. Got it. 2. The software spends more time trying to flog other bits of bloatware and announcing news and other irrelevancies instead of DOING ITS DAMN JOB and getting out of the way. 3. Support pages (which you will be spending ample time on) are woefully written and confusing. All in all, this evokes more sadness than anger. Oh the anger is definitely real when trying to connect a Block or something, but long term it reverts to sadness because the potential was there, but the execrable software destroys any possibility of either music or fun. ### 1/5 — Roli Abandoned Us *2022-04-19, version 3.3.1* This app could never be trusted to do a live show with. I’ve never used it without experiencing Bluetooth connectivity issues or any of its other frequent bugs. It didn’t work quite right from the gate and now Roli appears to have just given up on fixing it completely. Be wary of all their products- their entire software ecosystem is a mess. ### 1/5 — Does not open just keep crashing apple 12 pro max *2022-03-13, version 3.3.1* Crash ### 1/5 — Dark screen useless app for iPad Air 2 *2022-02-19, version 3.3.1* Don’t waste your time it don’t work. Tried re-downloading and still didn’t work, thank god it’s free! Might work for iPhones but not for this iPad… ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Share issue *2025-11-30, version 3.3.1* Can you please update this app. I use it with GarageBand and every time I try to share the song I made the Noise app keeps failing. Over all to me it’s an amazing app to use with GarageBand ### 5/5 — I 😍 this *2025-10-11, version 3.3.1* Wit 📲on 9 sec ### 5/5 — Yes *2025-09-02, version 3.3.1* Well whatever the previous comments spew up I would like to say that I totally love this app. It’s fun and easy to pick up. It’s intuitive and interesting.. y’all critics are just thinking too much.. my advice to the needy would be. “Just Feel It” 🤩 ### 5/5 — The only iOS music App I enjoy *2024-12-18, version 3.3.1* I don’t want a music studio DAW on my iPhone. NOISE is immediate and visceral and every sound combination is magic enchantment. ### 5/5 — Innovative & Adaptive Design *2024-02-21, version 3.3.1* 🖤📱🎵 ### 5/5 — After buy had storeage time *2024-01-12, version 3.3.1* Well it’s back an it proforming well first night on an looking forward too were we are going a very pleasant experience to enjoy the company of ROLI on in are home see we have pretty big family it leave are amagination open who knows what the new year got 2024 for them ### 5/5 — very nice 👍🏼 *2023-03-30, version 3.3.1* this app gets me through the days and nights i am not able to play. does what it claims to do!! thanks 🙏🏼 cheers ### 5/5 — Works well on iPad Pro 11 M2 2022 with ROLI Lumi Keys Studio Edition *2023-01-10, version 3.3.1* Noise works well on iPad Pro 11 M2 2022 running iPadOS 16.2 with ROLI Lumi Keys Studio Edition. I was able to update firmware and consistently connect via Bluetooth with two ROLI Lumi Keys keyboards, and use them with Animoog Z, Moog Model D, Moog Model 15, Arturia iSEM, iMonoPoly, NLog Pro, Laplace, Trooper, and iOdyssey apps. I’ll be trying it with Waveform Tracktion on a MacBook Pro M1, my primary DAW, and also with Cubasis 3.5, n-Track Pro and Reason Compact on the iPad Pro 11 M2. I played with it a lot in the dark using the Pro color scheme. It’s a joy to play. I didn’t mind the 5.5 key spacing at all, and I’m classically trained at the piano with over 55 years of playing and 20+ years of performing. MPE does some interesting things in Animoog Z. I’ll be looking at how to configure Lumi Keys’ MPE with the DAWs and other synth apps. I’m pretty inspired right now. If you can afford them, at least two are highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Fantastic music creation app! *2022-02-07, version 3.3.1* One of the best IOS music creation apps!! Outstanding of available quality sounds!! A hands on touch creative fun app!! if you love electronic music you’ll love this app as much as I do! I highly recommend this music app. ### 5/5 — luv this *2021-10-31, version 3.3.1* but you keep sending me emails about hardware and desktop sales. why don’t you ever put ios apps and iap’s on sale? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
