Can’t add tracks

All my tracks are on my iPad but it’s impossible to add them. Waste of time

Vital to My Live Performances

This app has changed the nature of my live performances as a solo artist. I am able to play drum beat tracks in a set list and send midi clock to my looper pedal to sync my loops with the beat tracks. I do three hour sets like this for several years and it has worked flawlessly. My one ask is to make the stop/pause button bigger. I sometimes miss it when I’m playing live. I need to be able to stop the track on a dime, but the button is a little small. I’m using an iPad mini.

Very good in a lot of ways

This is the third backing tracks app I have used and it is by far the best.
It is easy to import a wide range of audio file types from anywhere you can access them, locally and in the cloud.
Creating “sets” of tracks is straightforward, and manipulating playback is just as easy.
The screen layouts are simple and very well organized and the fonts are easy to read, which is essential for my eyes in their advanced age.
Highly recommended.

Ralls and Tempo Changes in 2 or 4 channel mode.

Once this important feature is available, this app will truly be a high end app.

Unfunctional

The only tracks available to add to ShowOne are their demo tracks. I transferred all my tracks to ShowOne file storage using a USB cable and Finder, synced files, and they are not available in show one.
