### 3/5 — Volume Settings

*2023-08-19*

Please make this app so we can save the volume settings.

### 3/5 — Great potential but still a problem loading projects

*2019-01-31*

The app is getting there, but despite the latst update i still can not load any tabs from within the app. I can only open the tabs documents from the Apple Files app, but the files browser inside the app will not allow me to open any compatible documents. They are no longer all greyed out but they won’t load when i select them, neither the included demo song. Thnx!

Running iOS 11.4.1 on an 9,7” iPad Pro
