Crashing too often

I’ve had & used this app for over 12 years & it’s always been great. Amazing features that could make this a market leader but it crashes almost immediately. Very sad to see things not being fixed.

Latest update

Impc2 crashes the app as soon as a pad is hit when in record mode. The only thing that is included in this update, and it’s broken, how incompetent have you got to be to be able to achieve this? Nearly 12 months to try and correct this bug . Only it didn’t it still exists. How incompetent do you have to be to achieve this level of uselessness.
And now you introduce the biggest bug I think I’ve encountered on any app . Apple…….this app should not be sold it is not fit for purpose.

Do not update

I’ve been using this app for years, since nearly day 1. Hours of work and years of projects have now just been corrupted when I accidentally updated all my apps. I don’t know what happened, but please Retronyms, fix this app. There is nothing else like it when it works. I miss it
