User reviews

Please help

Can you please show and teach us how to make music in this app

You should add an YM2126 To it

It’s cool and all but what would make it more cool is an YM2126
Chiptune to the app :)

Love this app but there’s one problem

See, when I mute the noise channel before playing a song, it makes this ear piercing noise that won’t stop until I stop the song or the song ends. Otherwise, this app is a little complicated but it’s easy to use once you get the hang of it. and, it has no annoying ads!

App is amazing!

I’ve seen about 3 reviews from 4 years ago so im making one now!

It’s complicated but i’m getting used to it
I love everything about this app

Amazing

It’s really cheap, and personally I find it easy to get the hang of right off the bat. Easy to export the music as-well!
