Good app, but drains the battery

The app is quite good and easy to use. I have only a small and a big issue with it, hence the 3 stars:
- it only works in portrait mode on the 12,9” iPad Pro, which makes it a bit cumbersome with the folio cover. The piano keyboard would also benefit from a landscape mode.
- the bigger issue is that it constantly runs in the background, depleting the battery in 1-1.5 days when the iPad is not used.

Updates missing!

Good app. but not a single update in years. Doesn’t emulate 6510 Sid chip.

I retract my criticism.

It does appear to be feature complete. Good job.

Great app, but needs landscape display

This app succeeds at providing authentic C64 sounds and also provides a streamlined creation experience.

I have one major complaint: the app does not display horizontally / landscape mode on iPad Pro 12.9 inch displays. This makes composition on the touch screen impossible as you end up sliding the app window off screen or dragging the app bar or other windows over the already small piano keys.

To the developer: PLEASE add landscape display as soon as possible.
I ordered a $100+ midi keyboard to work around this.
