Some of the free sounds are of high quality and serve most of your bread and butter needs. The SynthCell is actually quite powerful in its own right even if it does look underwhelming. I think Avid’s intention here is only to pull new users into the pro tools eco-system, so whilst I WOULD request the addition of support for 3rd party auv3 instruments and effects, I’m doubtful its on their road map. I’m all for competition in the mobile DAW space and this could well suit your needs but I have no intention of switching to pro tools anytime soon after using this. From what I can tell, nobody is talking about this app!? V1.0 reminds me of the early iOS tools available on the app store, good for noodling but thats about it in its closed eco-system. I’d love to see Avid develop this further but if i could put money on it, I would bet this app will be stale in 2-3 years and left to rot due to lack of maintenance after future iOS updates rendering it broken, then suddenly disappearing from the app store without any noise like so many others. Good luck devs! This shows some promise, if only avid will allow you to continue evolving it!!! ### 3/5 — I can’t import my own samples | dropbox greyed out *2023-11-10, version 2023.9.1* Hi, Am I missing anything obvious? I can’t import audio from any location. Could you please help? ### 3/5 — Great app but ableton link doesn’t work and it’s missing 3 features. *2023-10-07, version 2023.9.1* It doesn’t sync with other apps nor recording any external midi cc, nor host auv3.. With this 3 added it would be the perfect sketch Pad. Don’t give up! It could be an excelent motivation to pay for the desktop version. But if reaper does an ipad sketchpad… ### 4/5 — Good but seems to crash a lot *2023-09-28, version 2023.9.1* Enjoying using this app to take ideas into Pro Tools. It does seem to crash more than other music apps on my iPad mini5. I’ve learned to save any projects frequently, which is good practice anyway I suppose. It would have been a 5 star review if it was more stable. Hopefully this will happen in future updates. I also use Ableton Note but find the workflow of this app more my scene! ### 3/5 — Audio Editing Improvements *2023-09-25, version 2023.9.1* Selection mode should be able to highlight fingers instead of using the start/ end markers to copy, paste. Also the wait time holding a sample to move is too long. Grid should have a select option instead of having to zoom so far in or have the option of using more screen real estate to edit samples. Other than that so far it’s not too bad. Does need some improvements but right now it’s needs a faster workflow mostly in editing. ### 5/5 — Amazing app! *2023-09-22, version 2023.9.1* Free and excellent ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — プロジェクトファイルがPro Tools Introで読み込めません *2025-02-16, version 2024.4.0.2* ほとんどAbleton Liveそのままの作りで、このアプリが無料なことに驚きますが、単体でオーディオエクスポートを行うことは出来ず、PC版のPro Tools（Intro含む）にプロジェクトファイルを読み込ませなければいけません。 ところが、肝心のPro Tools Introで、このアプリで作ったプロジェクトファイルを読み込むとエラーになります。原因は不明です。 よって現時点ではこのアプリはただのゴミです。 ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-10-27, version 2024.4.0.2* Avids attempt at ripping off Ableton Live and it falls flat on its face, it’s buggy, clunky and nothing more than a gimmick. And after my educational subscription- which was a perpetual licence according to the “my products” tab on their website - expired and they took access off me, their true colours have shone through, they are thieves who steal and lie, nothing is straightforward with them and if you are a student STAY WELL CLEAR AS THEY WILL ROB YOU. ### 1/5 — Worst beat music maker ever *2024-03-05, version 2024.1.2* Look I like samples because they sample DJ mixes from older songs and add new effects but clearly this one doesn’t work at all and really makes no sense and it only plays one beat that you made if you press the other one it can play then it stops then you have to press it all over again and it doesn’t have any audio background music and I don’t have any headphones I thought it should ether with headphones Or No headphones i like how it’s free but the music doesn’t mix ### 1/5 — Trop d’applications type bloc note *2023-12-25, version 2023.12.1.21* Trop d’applications type bloc note musicaux. Un vrai app complète oui mai commencer un sketch pour finir sur desktop et ne pas pouvoir le reprendre sur tablette, Ben.. non. ### 1/5 — Quel intérêt *2023-11-21, version 2023.9.1* Même gratuit, face à GarageBand ? ### 2/5 — Definitely needs work *2025-01-30, version 2024.4.0.2* Great idea, and while it’s not ground breaking it would be great for starting ideas and finishing them in ProTools but recording with it can be a mess….its just too distracting sometimes trying to get everything to start at the same time…like how hard can it be to have an actual overall transport control that also has a record button? At this point it’s just easier to use other IPad apps and export the audio and import it into ProTools than using this app, because this app can be a vibe killer more often than not tbh. ### 2/5 — Could be great. Lacks instruments *2024-03-25, version 2024.3.0.5* Shame has so much potential. Needs about 10x the amount of instruments just not fun. Yay a piano sound. Wow lol ### 2/5 — Beaucoup de bugs *2023-11-22, version 2023.9.1* Application pas encore au point. ### 3/5 — Shows promis but buggy AF *2025-09-17, version 2024.4.0.2* Crashes often, hard to do any details work like moving a note in edit , sticky ### 3/5 — Midi learn? *2025-08-29, version 2024.4.0.2* Looks good…but without midi learn is not very useful to me…or am i missing something? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2025-05-20, version 2024.4.0.2* This actually works extremely well for a workflow where you record your loops in AUM and then import/arrange them in Sketch. Very intuitive. ### 5/5 — It’s a good start *2024-09-28, version 2024.4.0.2* It’s perfect, Auv3 plugin would be nice add so I can use Koala sampler in it. ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-04-18, version 2024.4.0.2* This is a great app very useful ### 5/5 — Awesome…with need for minor tweaks! *2024-03-02, version 2024.1.2* First, wow… such an awesome and easy loop player and music creation tool! Fast and efficient and easy to manage. Second, free…I mean really!?! But here is number three…I would gladly pay additional for the ability to import sounds and loops for use with the installed synth and system. Adding the ability to import loops, short samples, etc., sends this off the charts! An amazing app already could become nectar from the Gods! ### 5/5 — Incredible truly intuitive and music focused with excellent sound! *2023-10-12, version 2023.9.1* I’m smitten with this incredible piece of software from pro tools folks who give us this amazing tool absolutely free . I’m using it to compose a classic movie cue today and it’s just coming together very quickly and although I was wondering about ed, instruments placement location of mixer ,after just a half an hour I’m feeling completely comfortable doing it all within pro tools sketch. I’m sure as the day continues I will complete a full song with midi and audio . That is exactly the result I expected but didn’t get with Logic Pro on iOS ! All other iOS DAW creators take note . Now I have two excellent music focused daws on the iPad with this and Korg Gadget ! We now have amazingly powerful folks working for us on iOS ! I have goose bumps! 😁😁👽👽✌️✌️🤣🤣 ### 5/5 — Holy gods of the Olympus, our bearer of enlightenment and the illumination have arrived *2023-09-24, version 2023.9.1* Dear God of the forbidden light, the bearer of wisdom, and the giver of never ending blessings and the unstoppable force of integrity, What have done, what have you us given, This app is going to bring the first wave of iOS professional music production soon, soon, I’m afraid of a lot of other apps wouldn’t even have the purpose to exist! It’s sad, but the fire rises, The fire of the wisdom! Starts, now, It starts! On behalf of iOS, Thank you, for owning a heart so dignified, for your kindness and conveying such level appreciation solely by this unparalleled appreciation for the aesthetics, thank you for being our Messiah! Enter the dragon, the fire rises! Thank you. Love you. ### 5/5 — Nice *2023-09-24, version 2023.9.1* Fun app ### 5/5 — FINALLY!!! *2023-09-23, version 2023.9.1* Avid punching in with a GAMECHANGING app! Long time coming and worth the wait! Next stop…. iPhone! Kids be killing it! Thx Avid! Let’s gooooooooo!!! ### 5/5 — So much fun! *2023-09-22, version 2023.9.1* I’ve never used a clip launcher before, but Sketch is very intuitive and I was able to start making music immediately. ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2023-09-22, version 2023.9.1* And it’s free! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
