User reviews

It’s working fine now.

I just want to confirm what was written by another reviewer who said that the crashing problem had been fixed. It has. I’ve had no problem whatsoever.

Fixed, Fun, and Useful!

There are several earlier reviews (from a year ago) stating this app crashes after playing sounds. Happy to report that R∅DE seems to have fixed the issue! Have used this app extensively now for a while without a single crash (iPhone 12 with iOS 17.7), and it pairs quite nicely with my R∅DEcaster Pro II extending its range of sound effects via easy Bluetooth connection (though can really be used with most any audio device accepting either Bluetooth, USB, Lightning, or audio input). Thanks R∅DE for making this and putting it out there.. only suggestion (and this would make it a solid 5) would be the ability to load in our own custom sounds.

Crash Ahoy!

The app crashes after a single sound is played. I actually thought this would be an easy way to add in some sounds effects but not with the current state of the app

Will only play one sample then crashes

Looks like a fun idea but does not work properly. Please fix the continuous crashes after one sample played. 0 stars if I could

FYI it crashes after playing any sound

I downloaded this thinking it was a way to configure the sound pads on my RodeCaster Pros, but as it turns out, all this program does is play a sound, then crash before you can play anything.

It would be a fun program if it worked, but it doesn’t.
