### 1/5 — Mauvaise plaisanterie ?

*2025-12-02*

J’ai acheté Simple Music Pro en 2015, l’app n’était plus mise à depuis des années. Elle réapparaît avec le même logo, le même ratio 4:3 d’il y a 10 ans avec zéro mise à jour de fonctionnalités ou d’ergonomie et en plus il faut que je repasse à la machine à cash pour utiliser cette « nouvelle » app ?
Vous êtes sérieux là ?🤬

*2023-09-10*

I love the concept of a one chord pad. But I can’t figure out how to extend the notes to play it like an organ or synth so that pretty much makes it useless for my songs I need one for.
