User reviews

This product is a SCAM

Thos product doesn't work and the developer is unresponsive. DO NOT BUY THIS.

Having difficulty getting it to work on latest iOS

Hopefully developer will address the issues.

So good!

I love my tetra and It works really well with the digitone but it’s a lot of menu diving! Whatever complaints people had with this app 7 years ago, it seems they worked them all out. Just plug in and play. Practically no setup required! I haven’t had a single issue and I’ve been using it a fair amount :)

GUI broken

I haven’t even started programming with the app. But right off the bat, the GUI is broken on my iPad Pro. Completely unacceptable for a paid app at this price.

Ok

Works ok, kinda buggy and way overpriced. Just get lemur and make your own editor.
