### 5/5 — Ate that up

*2023-05-29*

It’s good for my adhd 🤷‍♀️

### 1/5 — Export doesn’t match pitch or time

*2023-01-08, version 2.0*

Either the player itself or whatever is happening on the export sadly don’t match up. Exported files all end up in a different key/pitch and slower than the pad itself.

### 3/5 — Ehh not the best

*2022-08-02, version 2.0*

Those app is the best music app I’ve ever gotten it just needs to allow you to make longer songs

### 2/5 — Garbage

*2021-12-13, version 2.0*

The songs last about 6 seconds, and it is confusing. There are no genre selections, and you have to pay to export files. Waste of storage and time. The only good thing is the customization.

### 3/5 — Eh

*2021-05-30, version 2.0*

good for writing tunes but
**forces you to pay to send the file**

### 1/5 — HELP

*2021-03-06, version 2.0*

I can’t seem to get the sound to play, like the green line and sound seems to not work and I can’t find out why

### 5/5 — Very cool app 🤙

*2021-02-05, version 2.0*

I always wanted to find a app that’s easy to create sounds like Launchpad and I like the retro 8bit sound nice job although I wish there was more space for sound, although it’s a pretty good app and I recommend getting it.🤙👍🏻

### 2/5 — Unacceptable

*2021-01-03, version 2.0*

You have to pay to export music

### 5/5 — So Cute!

*2020-12-16, version 2.0*

Every time I create music with this it sounds so cute!!! ❤️ it.

### 5/5 — ITS THE BEST

*2020-11-11, version 2.0*

It really is I love it! Even if your bad at music it sounds good! There is one annoying glitch that when you save a song the screen gets glitched! The only way to solve this is close the app and open it
