Seems abandoned

Unstable on my iPad Air gen 5. Crashes and closes every time I open it.

Flawed

Another utterly beautiful-sounding app.
Truly.
But as others have pointed out, there are flaws - as there are in all this developer’s apps.
They’re almost essential - but the fact the developer never responds to reported bugs, and appears to have abandoned them, means I can only recommend you save your cash and stay clear.
It’s a damn shame.

Rescinding my last review, it only plays thrills when output

It sounds great until it’s output/rendered then it for some reason plays thrills not the actual sound…I’m really disappointed in this :( because it sounds fantastic….

Unusable, due to low volume.

Can’t really use in GB as the volume is far to quiet. The Jubal flute gets 4 stars - due to convincing sound. This would too, as the sounds are good. The mod wheel and pitch bend do not work on an I-pad (may work using a separate keyboard?) Common guys please fix these issues!
