This app is great for playing music and sound effects.

I wish there was a Mac OS version.

Great at its task

I truly love this app and have been using it for 13 years or so. Relatively easy to use with some great functionality. If there was one thing I would change it would be to make a rack setup exportable so that once I have it built I can add it to a second device. But I have probably used this app longer than almost any other on my phone—like a dj sound pad, for ceremonies, and as the FX bank in my parade vehicle—and it has never let me down. There aren’t many apps that you can say that about.

(Have always) Love(d) this app

I have been using this app for years. It has always been rock solid.

Recently updated … oops crashes constantly when going to cart setup.

Recently updated again (today 13-Jul-2022) in hopes that bug was resolved….

Oops crashed instantly.

Just to confirm I uninstalled and reinstalled the app. C R A S H.

Please resolve.

Note - my current rating is for this (current version) I’d give the pre-updates app 5 stars.

Great to Use, Difficult to Setup

Love using this app, but setting up a new show is extremely difficult. You can’t import tracks while on an iPad. You have to connect to a PC or Mac in order to get the files where you can actually import them. If there was a way to use this on the iPad alone, it would be 5 stars.
