User reviews

Honestly I know this app been around for a while but if you fix these issues then this app is awesom

Needs work when you use auv3 plugins and save a song it doesn’t remember any of plugins when you load the song back up and also it crashes when I use certain plugins in the mixer section

Cool app

I’m really enjoying this app

Been waiting for something like this.

There’s some cool apps that use tracker style beat making for iOS. I don’t feel like either of the ones that comes to mind did very much to adapt a tracker to an iPhone.

This app is what I’ve been waiting for. The best parts of a tracker workflow but mixed in with handy swip, pinch, and tap gestures for workflow speed. I don’t have everything memorized so it still takes me a second to beat juggle but I’m catching on quick.

I haven’t been this excited for an app since koala sampler! If you like the tracker style but wish there was a phone version, now there is.

My only complaint is that this app has its own folder for storing samples in. I wish I could just access AudioShare or my iCloud Drive where I have my samples from everything else. Add that and I’ll be unstoppable. 😂

Could be great but lots of crashing

It’s fun and surprisingly powerful I’d say. However it’s just crash city
