User reviews

I’m really enjoying this app

So I want to say, this is the first app I have bought from this developer because it’s the first I have found that works on both iPhone and iPad. I would absolutely buy other music apps from this developer if they had iPhone support also. I have not tried Nash on on Mac yet, but I’m excited to try. I do a vast majority of my music on my iPhone. Usually only doing cleanup and mastering on my Mac. Anyway, I like the concept of this app. It forces me to play and not compose. It’s more of a listening tool than a composing tool. It’s really easy to use and once I have setup a key signature, it’s really easy to play. The main problem I have with the app, is the lack of memory. It’s really easy to accidentally erase what you are working on. Once the jam has been erased, there is no way to get it back, that I have found anyway. So I would suggest anyone using this app to record what you are playing with another app like atom. Lack of au3 doesn’t bother me with this app. I would of course like au3 support. If there was au3 support, even if you don’t have presets or memory in Nash, you could save the state in AUM. Overall I do really like this app. I has forced me to try some different things. I mainly have been using it for ambient sounds, but I think it would be nice for other type of music also. I have no problems recommending it, if you are ok with the lack of au3 and preset/memory system.
