Another waste of money on Retronyms!

I wasted money on apps from Retronyms and later on I regretted since that developer isn’t any good at all. I have seen independent developers doing way better than this company.

Mise à jour ?

Bonjour,
Toujours pas de mise à jour… cette application a pourtant du potentiel !
Akai n’a pas les moyens ???

I wish Akai would update this app and make it work with iOS. It was a great synth, one of the best ever on iOS!!
