### 4/5 — Great app back in action!

*2026-03-29, version 8.5.4*

Thank you devs for bringing this awesome app back to life! I am soo happy you don't even realize!
I would appreciate higher tempos up to 160BPM! Would have been sick!

### 5/5 — I literally bought an iPad for this app

*2025-02-26, version 8.5.4*

Years ago, I discovered this app through Serj Tankian, since he used it in a few of his songs in Harakiri, I decided to give it a try. To say I fell in love with this app is an understatement. It’s changed throughout the years and for the better. I always held back on getting an Apple product just for this app, but I decided that I had to make music on this app again. No. Regrets. At. All!! I hope this wonderful program stays around for a very long time. Also, the $1.99 upgrade? Get it, now, I promise it will change EVERYTHING!

Je redécouvre cette application qui ne fonctionnait plus sur iPad.

Ça change tout le temps…

### 1/5 — Great idea, no documentation or help files

*2021-06-16, version 8.5.4*
