Extremely Confusing (and just bad) App Design
I open the app for the first time. What am I even looking at? “Well, didn’t the app tell you (aka give you a tutorial?” NO! Absolutely no tutorial. There *might* be one in the settings, but NOBODY should have to go *out of their way* to get a TUTORIAL of all things.
Then, the app is just extremely confusing. I pressed a button. Apparently one to delete “pads”… which I didn’t have. And it didn’t have ANY way to close out of it! I had to restart my app each time just to escape. There’s no names for the icons, so you’re left gambling what each one will do because you have to figure it out yourself.
There’s absolutely ZERO organization to the settings. Even so, the descriptions they DID provide for select few toggles made no sense anyway!
I figured out how to import my audio, and then I did. It… worked! Quite easily, actually. You press it, and it simply plays. I enjoyed that part!… …but they somehow managed to screw THIS up, too. Every time you tap one of your sounds to play, it makes your whole screen… bounce. (Yes, your screen wobbles up and down with each tap.) Then, it makes your screen scroll down, hiding your sounds out of your tapping reach. “Well, why not just scroll back up so you can reach/tap them again?” Because… you can’t. There’s no way to scroll back up to get your sounds back on your screen.
At the end of the day, the app works, but there’s so many glitches/bad features and confusing functions that it’s more of a hassle than a help to use.
I wouldn’t recommend this app; don’t waste your time.

Had Loved This App
I had been using this app for a few years now, and loved it’s layout and features (even upgraded to pro), but a recent update has left me quite upset. The interface was redesigned which adds unnecessary space between the buttons and make it impossible to use in landscape mode now, but also added a volume slider which obstructs buttons and cannot be moved or disabled. I wish developers would place more consideration on decisions to redesign a perfectly functional UI.

The old Interface was awesome and now is not. :(
The old User Interface was perfect, but now is just weird. The pads are smaller with a big gap in the center, now there is a “master volume fader” always in the way at the bottom right. I don’t know, In my opinion, this is not an UI improvement.
Actually, the interface you are advertising in the App Store demo photos is not what we get.
I love this app, I own the forever Pro version and use it mostly on my iPhone 17 Pro. But I truly think we need bigger pads and less unused space.
I appreciate the fast response with the hot fix 2.6.4, now the app opens fine and all my data still there.
Thank you.

Answer to the developer:
Thank you for your response. I’ve tried the pad button size, I use it on standard because Large only gives me one column of pads. And small, well to me they feel too small on the iPhone.
The standard is perfect, except for the big gap between the two columns.
-Regarding the Master slider, setting it to 0% just turn the volume down, It doesn’t get rid of the slider.
-Also, the pads borders now stay lit even when the track is not playing anymore, it’s very confusing. We have to move to another board and go back to clear it.
Maybe you are still making changes and tweaking things on the new version, but is it there a way to roll back to the previous working version until things are more stable?
Thank again.

Something
It broke :(
App freezes, Refuses to open
I just downloaded this app today. It seemed great at first. I built two soundboards and they worked great. They were both fully customized. It took spa lot of work, but I appreciated the options and flexibility. However things quickly went south. When I switch over to another app and back, the app froze and closed itself, then refused to open. It was just a black screen for a while then closed. I restarted my iPad, fully shut it down, closed all the apps. Nothing changed, it just would not open. I had to delete the app, download it again, and start all over from scratch. Seemed to work then. In the middle of remaking the second soundboard, I had to go out to get a package. Came back, unlocked my iPad and the same ******* thing happened. The app just refuses to open. All that work is lost again! Screw this app. Now I’m looking for another good soundboard
