Keep working on it

Amazing idea, please keep working on it and have tutorials for dummies. Also fix the saving part.

why are you still selling this?

its a brilliant app that is useless now: crashes upon saving, a problem its had for years.

Response from developer

Hi, we are working on a new version that will fix it. You will get it very soon.

Just crashes

desperately need update, or you just lost all your works!

Response from developer

Thank you for noticing. We will update and fix the app as soon as possible.

It's been 2 years

Very cool app that obviously took a ton of hard work to develop. Why did you go to sleep for 2 years? I guess you gave up. Too bad because you could have evolved it or created a new version that had different controls if people didn't like this one. You guys are great developers. Why give up.

New iPad Pro doesn’t work

I’ve used reactable’s earlier app on an old iPad 2 for years. I held off on rotor until I had a more powerful device. Now that I have an new iPad Pro I have this $19 dollar app that doesn’t work. Or only that no tangible knobs available. Don’t get it. I want my money back.

I love this app, but now it only crashes when trying to access my projects

This app was great in the beginning,
I would build patches on the go. Now however, when I open, it only loads the last project, if I try to save or navigate to my other projects, it crashes. Disappointed because I have songs built on here that I hadn’t exported yet. Be careful when creating in this app, be sure to export any patches you make to something outside the app.

Crashes on startup (iPad Pro)

Downloaded Rotor for my iPad Pro and it crashes on startup. Hard restarts/delete & reinstalls —nothing’s worked. Not a good start for the app intended for iPad Pro! Fix this or refund me ASAP!

What the hell doesn’t work??

Guess I gotta report as fraud. Dont work

Crashing upon opening!!

This app is broken on the iPad, it will immediately close down after opening it. It seems to work fine on the iPhone, but it needs an update to prevent it crashing on the iPad.

I’m using an iPad Pro 2 11”

Do not buy for iPad Pro 2018 unsupported

Well I was stupid reading reviews after I installed Rotor.(sigh)I was just ready to play. I realized there have been no updates in a year, fails to load. No response from the developer after several emails.

Won’t Open ????

Won’t open on my tablet ? I’ve sent you several messages, but you won’t reply ? I’ve tried deleting and reinstalling it, but with no luck. I wanted to buy the contraptions that go with it but there’s no point now. What a shame ! Either reply and help me or give me a refund? I am so disappointed !

Not updated for iOS 13... last update > 1 year ago

... but when it worked, it was great

Not working on iPad Pro 2 - ios13.1

Can you please fix ASAP

Crashes on start

Just purchased. iPad Pro 11 inch. Current operating system. Crashes immediately after opening. Tried restarting. No luck. Help.

Great Music Creation Tool

I have been with this app from the beginning and in this version it’s massive it has it all a very creative way of creating your music a must have if you love to experiment with your creative process.

Crashes on iOS 12

Duuuude I spent 12 bucks and it doesn’t run on iPad Pro iOS 12
Please fix this! Can I get a refund?

Wow, this looks like a great app!

Just went through a bunch of the demos and there’s a lot of interesting stuff there! Wow! But, even though I haven’t played anything in the app (yet) there are three huge needs that jump out immediately:

1. Audio unit support
2. MIDI out
3. Some kind of “randomise time.” The Bach (Invention) demo “demonstrates” that.

The thing is, on the one hand, Bach’s music lends itself well to sequencing. On the other hand, without the ability to alter timing in some kind of fluid way (as things are now) it sounds robotic if not even an example of why classical shouldn’t be sequenced! Perhaps a robotic impression is the goal here—but, still, some kind of “randomise or humanise” time option would be fantastic.

Thanks in advance—so much potential in this app!!

Fun Creative Quality

This is a long term app for making music and sketching ideas.

And it is fun.

Super creative idea that most iOS music makers should enjoy.

I love it!

Music Synthesis Playground

I love this app. I’ve bought countless synth and sequencer apps over the years, but this one really stands out. The developers have produced an app which is hugely flexible, is fun to use, looks impressive and sounds great. I hope they will continue to develop it, because it has great potential. More parameters for the synths and please increase the number of modules! The manual and tutorials are excellent.
