### 4/5 — This could be essential if only

*2025-06-06*

For what this app is, it’s great, but it could be as essential as Modulargrid if it became a living library of manuals and cheat sheets.

### 3/5 — Needs more content

*2025-01-14*

This solution caters to both beginners and advanced users. It can offer significant value if you would allow users to catalog their modules and access the manuals. Opening it to the community could make it a cornerstone experience for the Eurorack community, helping to ease the steep learning curve many face when navigating the Eurorack ecosystem.

### 4/5 — Great app but needs an update

*2024-04-22*

Great concept and well executed app! It’s pretty far out of date, though. Perhaps it will get an update if more people buy it to offer some financial incentive.

### 4/5 — Please add more

*2024-03-26*

Make Noise Spectraphon would be an obvious addition that should be included.

I could list more but that one is such an obvious omission. There is already a make noise section and the modes and shift functions are not at all obvious. Plus Make Noise has a cheat sheet pdf already that could be used to add it so they did the work for you - you just need to put it in the app with the rest.

### 4/5 — Outstanding, but could benefit from more cheat sheets and more frequent updates.

*2023-01-01*

The excellence of this app is what makes its drawbacks stand out. It’s so useful for the modules it contains that you constantly wish it had cheat sheets for other modules you have and might use more with equally useful cheat sheets.

### 3/5 — Needs more updates or the ability to add your own sheets

*2022-06-10*

This app is in desperate need of updates.  Far too few new sheets get added, while new modules come out all the time.   There’s Also no way to make requests for modules, or add and share custom sheets.  This could be a go to app, but the support just isn’t there.

### 4/5 — Useful!

*2022-05-13*

Simple, accurate app for modular users. Was looking for latest Disting firmware quick ref and this has it. 
Feature suggestion: 'Feedback' button to report issues and request new modules to be added. (First request: Mutable Beads).

### 3/5 — update the app

*2021-11-10, version 2.6*

i need pamela's new work out, instruo saich, make noise maths, make noise mimeophone, intellijell midi 1U

### 3/5 — Marbles missing?

*2021-08-01*

The latest update stated that MI Marbles was added but it’s not visible in the list of modules

### 3/5 — Good start

*2021-02-27, version 2.4*

It works well. It would be nice to be able to add my own modules. This would free up the developer from having to update the app.

### 3/5 — Needs so much more

*2021-02-07, version 2.4*

There’s a few modules on here, but hasn’t been updated in ages and is missing a lot of classic & new modules. 
Would also be great to have a way to add your own.

### 3/5 — needs serious work

*2021-01-31, version 2.4*

This app is no more convenient than quickly googling the manual, because the cheat sheets aren’t that easy to read, for me at least. If the cheat sheets were formatted and designed like the clouds  parasites cheat sheet online, it would be great, but they’re not. There are also only like 20 modules. From the reviews I heard on YouTube, I was expecting a lot more. However, to be fair, the concept is great. The app just needs more content and design elements. And I would add cool facts, patch ideas, other interesting elements like the history of the module or company, and make it visually appealing. put the manuals in the app, not just a link. I know it’s a work in progress, and when it is more complete I hope it is successful and widely used. There are hundreds of modules that should be added! I’ll patiently wait for app updates.

### 4/5 — Good but needs the ability to add modules more quickly

*2021-01-19*

This is a great idea and a useful app, but there really needs to be a way to add your own cheat sheets (ideally share with others). The module support list is just too small.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Synth Modes

*2025-01-31, version 2.9*

It’s a pity there isn’t more modules, I’ve got three from that list.

### 1/5 — Idea discreta, pessimo sviluppo

*2023-05-29, version 2.9*

Il numero dei moduli disponibili è molto limitato. Prezzo del tutto ingiustificato.

### 1/5 — Save your $$. Lots of missing info.

*2022-06-01*

This app is garbage. It hardly has any modules available, and the ones it does, it totally has incomplete info. Why would i need this app if I’m still going to have to pull out the manual on my M32 constantly. I wouldn’t even want this app if it were free with its lack of data.

### 1/5 — Not up to date, not worth it

*2021-01-19, version 2.4*

If you take money for such an app, then I expect it to be up to date. Please update the Disting MK4 and you will get more stars

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2020-02-07, version 2.3*

Great idea but check which modules the app supports before you buy.

I have 3 tip top audio mantis cases full of modules but only 2 modules that I have are supported (disting and clouds).

I can’t imagine it’s a lot of work for the developer to add more modules but the app rarely receives updates.

It would be better if the app would allow users to add modules to it so we didn’t have to rely on the developer doing it

### 2/5 — Tags are missing

*2021-11-05, version 2.6*

After the last update the tags are missing. Makes the app less useful.

### 2/5 — Great but incomplete and no updates

*2021-11-04, version 2.6*

Really, in theory this app is perfect. But for the amount you pay for it, I’d expect it to be up to date, or at least being updated on a regular basis. I can imagine if it’s a lot of work, but give us a way to add it ourselves or have it reviewed by you first, whatever. But give this app a way to be up to date and to grow. 
Now it’s just an expensive piece of paper.

### 2/5 — Good idea but not up to date

*2020-07-02, version 2.3*

Hi, good idea but firmware updates too slow, new morhapgene? New disting? New tempi?

### 2/5 — not enough modules

*2019-07-09, version 2.0*

for that price i expect some more modules in the list or at least an option to add them by myself.

### 3/5 — Good App, but it needs an Update

*2025-08-30, version 2.9*

F.e. MI Beads (and many more)

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Update The APP!!

*2026-06-22, version 2.9*

U lazy bum

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2026-03-25, version 2.9*

So useful. I hope the developer keeps it updated as alternative firmware drop for devices. For example, it would be great to see Truches (for Marbles) added.

### 5/5 — No more rifling through arcane manuals…

*2024-12-27, version 2.9*

…particularly if you have a Mother 32 or a Disting. It would be amazing if the app would let you add links to manuals eg. Moog Update 2.0 
Personally I would love a Lifeforms KB-1 manual!

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2023-12-04*

Super useful, would love to see the Disting EX modes added in as well. Happy to help if it’s just a matter of organizing the content.

### 5/5 — Great idea, more modules pls

*2023-05-07, version 2.9*

Please add the Qiemem firmware for Stages.

### 5/5 — Efficace.

*2023-01-29, version 2.9*

Appli efficace, d’une grande avec certains modules comme le disting. Hâte d’avoir une mise à jour pour le Plaits de Mutable par exemple…

### 5/5 — Le top pour utiliser certains modules

*2022-10-13, version 2.9*

Super application 5 étoiles 😍

### 5/5 — Essential for Disting owners

*2022-01-23*

I would find my Disting mk4 veryyyy unwieldy without this app. The dev has been good about including the latest algorithms from firmware updates too. Highly recommend

### 5/5 — A great tool !

*2021-04-25, version 2.4*

Simple and efficient ! I love it !
Please continue to update it !

### 5/5 — Great and hope it keeps getting updates

*2020-12-20*

Thanks for making this!
