### 1/5 — Ridiculous w/o Zoom levels.

*2026-08-21*

As the title days. iPhone 12/17.6.2

### 3/5 — Sound nicht gut

*2023-04-10*

An sich sehr gut, macht spaß. Allerdings gibt es immer ein schnelles klacken zur Audio und die Soundqualität lässt auch noch zu wünschen übrig. Sonst aber super👍

### 2/5 — Listen to your users!!

*2022-11-23*

Basically same things people have been saying for years.....its in dire need of an update and not even gonna take the time to list everything this app needs to actually BE MORE than just a noise maker and simple 4 step sequencer, because everyone else has already stated all of that..... you really should listen to your users. 
Honestly would've requested a refund, but I'm stupid and had faith that the dev would actually read the reviews and take care of all that........2 stars til then
Oh and stop telling people to email you......because you apparently don’t respond or read those either lol

Será possível corrigir este erro?

### 1/5 — Nicht Kompatibel mit iOS 9.3.5!!!

*2021-11-23*

Die App lässt sich gar nicht starten und stürzt direkt wieder ab. Ich möchte mein Geld zurück!

### 1/5 — Abandoned

*2020-12-03*

Some potential, but completely abandoned. You can make a couple of interesting noises but that’s it. The dev should stop selling this or give it away.

**Developer response:** The best way to contact me for feature requests is by email info@designbypaul.co.uk I'm interested in what people want.

### 1/5 — No midi, what’s the point?
