I still have them because they are INFINITELY more useful than the downgrade to Audanika which lacks the range of Sound Prism apps. I see this downgrade as an action to put a music learning tool in the hands of children and having to pay for songs as extortionary when they do not seem to be added to. Thankfully, SoundPrism apps still work on iPadOS 18.5 despite Grace Cloud stating that the apps will no longer be supported after 2022. Wake up, Grace Cloud !!. You are killing a good and very usable music tool in order to squeak out mony on a child’s dummy downed music tool with jukebox capability. What a freaking shame! ### 1/5 — It’s just *2024-08-02* Why’s there’s no update! Now, I truly started to appreciate Audiothing, Bram, Paul, Michael, A lot more, only because of their tenacity and integrity! ### 5/5 — Cool app *2023-07-22* I really like this app ### 1/5 — Не обновляйтесь на версию 2.9 *2021-12-24* Не обновляйтесь на версию 2.9 ### 4/5 — on ne peut pas jouer directement *2021-11-30* dans les coins sauf sur on appuie en premier au milieu ou pas dans le coin dommage pour jouer une basse ou une note en bas ou en haut de l'écran sa ne va pas marcher 🥺 ### 1/5 — Bait and switch *2021-11-29, version 2.8.11* Not buying anything from you again ### 5/5 — Fun and Educational! *2021-10-12* For the person who pays attention to the details of the layout and the sounds, it could bring about a greater understanding of music theory! ### 5/5 — Riesen Spaß auch mit den Kindern *2020-12-12* Das ist so intuitiv und einfach. Super Produkt! ### 5/5 — Great *2020-08-02* This app just plays chords and lets you do amazing piano runs, but that's basically it. No built in arpeggios it anything that fancy. The built in sounds are nothing worth shouting about either. This app should be used as a midi controller, so you can control a nice piano app. It has built in routing options for its own midi output, no need for Audiobus or AUM. Buy this just for the excellent chords and runs. Then get something like Mozaic for arpeggios if want it to sound more natural. ### 5/5 — WHY DOESN’T THIS STORE RECORDINGS?!?!? *2020-05-16* SERIOUSLY!!!! It is fantastic, but if you record, and something happens and you do not get the transport, you are f’ed, lost all you recorded. Just allow in app recordings!!! ## Frequently asked questions about SoundPrism ### What does SoundPrism do?
