Superior to Nanoloop! ### 4/5 — Great potential *2013-05-21* Keep going! Interface is kind of unresponsive. I can't seem to hit the not-obvious button constraints or swipe the dial controls. Your mileage may vary. But I like the concept. Fun to play with. Well thought out for simplicity. ### 4/5 — >.< *2013-01-19* Hard to understand maybe it's just me or something but it's a nice tracker, the Square sounds weird idk how to make it one sound cuz I hear many ### 4/5 — Geeky toy *2012-02-23* Amusing chiptune tracker. Frequent updates. Keeps improving. ### 4/5 — Fixed *2011-11-06* The last update has resolved the latency problem. I'd still like better instructions, and a better way to select between sounds for playing live. Other than that, great app and thanks for the update. ### 4/5 — Good App *2011-05-30* Good app, I just got it. Easy to use, great interface, nice GUI, but the sequencer ...... I could be wrong but it seems to be divided into 16th notes, 4 notes per beat but it plays at half tempo so it sounds like 8th notes, 2 notes per beat. I just double the temp and it's fine. Again good app. ### 5/5 — Thank you. *2011-04-29* Excellent update! 1 of the Best tracker in the app store! Great sound and control. Don't hesitate, grab it now. ### 4/5 — Worth two bucks!! *2011-04-22* Over all, it's a really good app. The synths are sweet, the interface is good, and once you figure out all the buttons, it's fun to use. The biggest con is the interface is plain but not as easy to figure out at first. I first thought there were only 16 spots on the sequencer, but you can add more. I gotta say, it's not recording software like nanostudio, but for two bucks, considering how much software usually is, this is pretty good! ### 4/5 — Solid, simple, sleek tracker. *2011-04-15, version 1.5* This is a very solid attempt at making a cool tracker for iOS. The interface looks great and the the controls are mostly intuitive. I look forward to messing with it more. ### 5/5 — Update! *2011-03-07* Looks good! They fixed the retina display. Thanks! If you like Nanoloop you'll love this because it's better. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken *2020-05-23* This does nothing on iPad anymore, as Mr Sigth’s other apps are phenomenal and great value I’m not fussed about the two quid, consider it a thanks for your other work. ### 1/5 — You broke it *2016-03-23* App is hung on the load/save screen ### 2/5 — Only 4 sounds? Crashes? *2016-03-04* I can't figure out if this app does more than I think it does or if it just has 4 pre-canned voices (one is a drum). Also, plugging in a MIDI keyboard (Korg NanoKey2) plays a single note and then crashes every time. I hear good things about this developer's apps, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Also appears buggy and limited in tonal flexibility. ### 2/5 — Bummer... *2011-12-10* Not really sure what's up here. This is the second genius recommendation I casually picked up for my iPAD that turned out to be an iPHONE app. So buyer beware... I've done this twice now, with the iPad selector enabled... In this case it was a bit less painfully because this app actually scales cleanly when you hit the 2X button... But still has a 1/2+ inch black border. Still locked up on me and copied random data to new tracks (this could be a feature I'm not quite getting)... But a few stars for effort, I dig the clean take on an 8-Bit UI. Apple: I want YOUR 20% cut of this transaction back... YOU need to vet this stuff better. Took me all of 30 seconds to start finding bugs and 3 min to reproduce and verify them. Bad Apple! NO! :-P ### 3/5 — Don’t work in landscape screen ? *2024-08-14* Hello, is this possible to make it working on horizontal devices ? (Landscape). My ipad has a stand which make it horizontal, it can’t be vertical ans so i can’t use the app… if i just put it on floor my neck will suffer I have many neck problems… ### 3/5 — Bags of potential... Still needs work *2013-09-12* The developer should be proud of this so far, but it needs better instructions and navigation. Looks great but the styling makes it hard to use. I get stuck on the arpeggio page and can't get out. Still, happy I made the investment - could be a really solid app in the future... ### 3/5 — It's good but... *2013-01-04* It's finally compatble with akai synthstation 25 but it needs more sounds ### 3/5 — Ok *2013-01-01* Ok! ### 3/5 — A Fun little app *2012-07-13* This is a fun little app, and I like it. For the most part it works great, but when recording with the play head, it doesn't matter what octave you're set to, it always snaps back to 0 when it plays through. The only way to get anything above or below is to toggle to "note at", (unless there's a setting I can't find). Because of this, it would be good if there were some way to change the octave of a note after it's been placed. Also, when you flip it into arpeggio mode, tapping on the the options doesn't always work. It's a little wonkey, you have to be really fast and snappy with your selections. Other than these problems, it's a cool 8-bit music app. I tried to contact the developer to let him know instead of writing a review, but this is the only way I could find that he may read it. Providing an email for stuff like this would be a helpful thing to do too. If you do read, this and work on changing it, thanks in advance, Erik! If this stuff does gets fixed, I'll change my review to 5 stars! ### 3/5 — sounds good *2011-11-18* latest version is not playble because it has noticeable latency using synthstation25 128buffersize makes noticeable latency i cant play this with my sinusoid i play argon with my synthstation enjoyable but sinusoid has more latency but sounds unique ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This developer is Legendary. *2024-04-14* The creator of the legendary Chords rom for DMGb ### 5/5 — Updated - 2021! *2021-01-16* Brilliant chip tune tracker! ### 5/5 — brilliant design,nice added effects *2016-10-09* i am sooo glad i came back to this app after a break. i love the smart design on turning ipad to change menus. love the bitcrush and delays.. obvious nanoloop comparison however this sounds different .i have all of devs apps and love elsa,nils,strng and the all revamped shapesynth sounds great.simple yet effective interfaces on each of his apps makes them all classic ios apps..works great ios 10 with ipad mini3 ### 5/5 — Highly Recommended *2014-04-30* very unique and excellent tracker. definitely has a character of its own. even if you're new to trackers, I'd highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Brilliant app! *2013-08-22* Great blippy and sweet synthetic sounds. Previously gave this app a 3 star review because it seemed to be crashing/getting stuck on one note, but after being contacted by the developers and trying to recreate the problem i discovered i had accidentally changed the sequencer to 0 steps from 16. Duuuuh... My bad. Sorry about that Erik... Still, my bumbling aside this is a testament to the dedication of the programmer at wanting to be the best it can be. Cough up the pittance that they charge for this app, you won't be disappointed. Ps- fao Erik- i tried to respond to your email but it got returned and i'm damned if i can figure out how to message you through Soundcloud!!!! ### 5/5 — great app *2013-05-26* I've been using it for awhile now, and just wanted to say that it is a great little app with a fun, quirky sound, great interface design, easy to use controls with all the right features, and works great with Audiobus. I especially like that the tracker shows my notes - really helps me double Sinusoid's utility, using him to write down my music to perform later in another app. I like Sinusoid. He's a real trooper. ### 5/5 — Chippy *2012-03-21* The last few updates have been great. Shapesynth and sinusoid together make some really interesting sounds. The arpeggiator and bpm increase was very useful. Can't wait for whatever is coming next. ### 5/5 — Really dig this app *2011-12-22* Very cool for creating 8-bit sounds. I would love the ability to switch the sounds between a saw, sine, or square in each channel on the fly... Then it might be just under nanoloop level. Not as is, though. ### 5/5 — Great little 8bit tracker *2011-12-06* Love the simple interface, been looking for a retro 8bit tracker and this is perfect! Plus the developer is quick to fix any bugs.....good work!! ### 5/5 — :) *2011-09-06* I don't normally comment but this guy looks like an aspiring developer of synth apps which is what I want to do. I just wrote my first electronica tune with this app. Great job :D the interface is reminiscent of early trackers but it is deceptively powerful. Only things to add would be an export by email option, and my iPod touch 4G added a tad bit of static to the exported file, but amazing job. Buying shape synth on impulse due to the quality of this app. :) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
