### 5/5 — Cool

*2026-07-20*

I made an nes styled song using this app

### 5/5 — This is so amazing 🤩.    Это так удивительно 🤩.

Hey everyone I’m going to write this in both languages this guy speaks in! (Here’s the English version) This application was great but every time I recorded my own voice very low quality and it still sounds good and normally I Have been going in to the application and really cool stuff in it but maybe put a little more effort into the application sounds! Thank You 🥳🥳🥳🥳, (I Never seen this before since 2025! When I was 11 years old I wrote this review on the app and thanks so much Alexander Zolotov!! 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺👍😭 ( I’ve been thinking about this lately (a lot of times! 🥲😢😢) Привет всем, я собираюсь написать это на обоих языках, на которых говорит этот парень! (Вот российская версия) Это приложение было отличным, но каждый раз, когда я записывал свой собственный голос очень низкого качества, и он все еще звучит хорошо, и обычно я заходил в приложение и действительно крутые вещи в нем, но, возможно, приложил немного больше усилий к звукам приложения! Спасибо 🥳🥳🥳🥳, (Я никогда не видел этого раньше с 2025 года! Когда мне было 11 лет, я написал этот отзыв в приложении и большое спасибо Александру Золотову!! 🇷🇺🇷🇺🇷🇺👍😭 (Я думал об этом в последнее время (много раз! 🥲😢😢)

### 5/5 — This is so amazing 🤩

Dude? This application was great but every time I recorded my own voice very low quality and it still sounds good and normally I Have been going in to the application and really cool stuff in it but maybe put a little more effort into the application sounds! Thank You 🥳🥳🥳🥳

### 5/5 — Kkkkk

*2024-03-23*

Hello

### 5/5 — Stellar for the price

*2023-01-15*

I’ve been using this and the companion PixiTracker program for several years now, and I love both. The interface is easy to use, yet distinct from many others as far as scene sets go - there was a small learning curve.

Of note, though is there is, as yet, no Link support. However, for those who appreciate the value of this and other Zolotov apps, it’s no trouble to get around; just don’t be lazy and learn to bounce WAVs.

I’ve gotten my money’s worth and then some. Five stars.

### 5/5 — The star

*2022-06-21*

I love your app so much I can make a Sparta remix I can make one bit music it’s so fun it’s just so much so much fun you get to use the settings you get to put your own sounds and you get to do whatever you want and this is the best I’ve ever seen the best app best thing to use ever best best best best best I would give you a 6000 stars if I could

### 5/5 — A Humble Request

*2022-01-20*

I love these fun little trackers and have used them for years.  All of AZ’s stuff is amazing.  I would like to make a humble request: Could we have more step-length options for odd time signatures?  Even better, options to change lengths per pattern? That would open a lot of doors and maximize dopeness!

### 4/5 — Cool but one thing

*2021-06-17*

For some reason I can’t find a way to save it because it ends up to overwrite something when I want to keep it, and I tried everything but I still can’t save it. Also I know this is a opinion on myself and truly I would give it 5 stars but I only gave it four because of saving it like I would give it 5 if their was an actual save button but no I’m forced to overwrite one, and what is even stranger is that even when I restart it it still would overwrite it. Why!

### 4/5 — 構えることなく曲作りを

*2020-08-13*

進められる．楽しく遊び感覚で．

### 5/5 — True chiptune goodness!

*2020-02-22, version 1.6*

Best music app on the market. Incredible intuitive interface.
