### 5/5 — Would use

*2026-06-29*

But dont have 175€

### 2/5 — It malfunctions

*2026-04-11, version 3.1.25*

Yeah it’s possible to find a good loop, but the saver is not that great. I left a song in the studio, and came back 2 hours later to return to editing it, and the song was in an entirely different key and the melody was off. So I essentially lost out on the good song that I got generated for me.

### 1/5 — Scam and they deleted all my songs on the update

*2026-01-18, version 3.1.24*

This App was pretty great until they decided to scam me by deleting my account that I paid a lifetime membership for along with all the songs on it just out of the blue for no good reason at all. And on top of that they ignore any email I’ve sent about it. Really annoying and terrible customer service.

### 3/5 — End of subscription

*2025-11-23, version 3.1.23*

The app had promise and still does.  There’s alot to enjoy about it.  The minute it is a subscription though, it is a service and not a purchased product i get to keep, and at 89.00 per year its almost double the price of logic pro mobile, its only 8 bucks away from Suno pro…or many other more powerful platforms.  The sounds are mediocre and that engine can be enhanced quite alot.  The value per dollar is low if you figure in the editing you have to do to make midi and audio renders line up. The interface is quite confusing how its arranged as the modes are really unnecessary and just seperate themselves from
A similar chore.  My sub is up and when deciding to re-up i just couldnt be 180.00 deep into this app, i really liked alot about this app but blaring issues forced me out.  Subscriptions have made people selling things just pick a price and not consider the competition and the bang for buck.  So if your service is not current and feature rich it will be left behind.  This app might be worth a one time 89 bucks!  But ut certainly isnt worth 89 every year.  It doesnt update enough, it stays broken in render, and there is no service to the service.  I gave 3 stars for the good it does.  I wish your company success and better business models creation.

### 5/5 — Amazing app for rock music artists

*2025-10-25, version 3.1.22*

So I’m a music artist and I want to find a good melody for a song. So I generated a melody and downloaded the midi file. And now it sounds like a electric guitar on BandLab . Planing to take the guitar melody loop I made on from your apps midi on BandLab. to a professional recording studio and make a awesome rock song.

### 5/5 — Enables creativity.

*2025-07-24, version 3.1.18*

If you hate this app you are genuinely missing out. Give it a go and start creating especially if you are a musician transitioning into producing it gives you ideas in one tap.

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2025-05-30, version 3.1.18*

Thank you so much for this app it is very helpful in making music probably the beast app I have there are some things that can be changed like to let you use more then 2 instruments maybe like 10 or something I wanted to ask if the music I make I own on a free plane thank you so much for this app I love it definitely a 5 star app

### 4/5 — Good, but has problems

*2025-02-24, version 3.1.18*

Just got the app today, and it was fun to use, but then hours later it started glitching to the point where I couldn’t open the options when i clicked them. Overall a good app but has some bugs.

### 5/5 — Very impressive with lots of room to grow

*2025-01-10*

I love the app - as UI designer I respect the challenge of making the workflow easier - it’s getting there! The app crashes a lot - almost unusably so if you are trying to arrange loops. Algorithmicaly I’d like to see a bit more AI driven generation of styles and song structure - it still seems too tight of a formula (hard to explain). Well
Worth the money and excited to see where it goes in the next year.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback! It really warms our heart to hear you have noticed our efforts in finding the optimal user experience for music making. We will avsolutely look into the crash issue you mentioned. We'd love to see you around in our community which you can find from the settings chat to discuss these topics more in detail!

### 2/5 — $$$$$$$$$$$😱😱😱😱$$$$$$$$$$$$

*2024-12-26*

For the subscription price, there are much better options. Frankly, your going to price yourself right out of business. Logic for iPad is cheaper. Cubasis 3 is a one time purchase and still cheaper than what you’re asking. Ai generative apps are all the rage now and even they are less expensive than this. This app really isn’t unique.
