### 1/5 — Pay locked with no demo

*2026-07-17*

I’d be keen to buy this if I was sure it was good to use. To edit anything you need to buy it. I’m not buying anything again until I know it can do the job. I’ve played with too many editors for iOS and they are all clunky and not user friendly. No idea about this one because it’s not set up for trials. Paying and then asking for a refund is not a trial.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2026-07-15, version 1.103*

Cant export without paying.. do you think i want to just to mess around and not save what im working on?

### 1/5 — Won’ send recordings via email anymore

*2026-04-09, version 1.97*

This app used to work perfectly, but now my recordings are not getting sent though email or text messages.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-03-04*

For on the go radio interviews when I don’t have my equipment with this app has been a lifesaver

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2026-02-16*

This app is awesome.  I’ve been using it for about ten years. You can download it with confidence.

### 5/5 — Toll toll toll !

*2026-02-13*

Ich bin jahrelanger Fan dieser Software! Es gab nur wenige Dinge, die ich vermisst habe, und die wurden jetzt auch noch nachgeliefert, Unterordner und schnellere Aufnahmen, klasse!

### 5/5 — Update Incredible

*2026-01-13*

This was already my go to app for all my serious audio needs. Made do with the single track because of the features and functionality. This recent update just knocked it out of the park. Wow😅 Thanks. I would give this app 6 stars if I were able ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

### 2/5 — Update causing insanely weird bugs

*2025-12-03*

I’ve been using twisted wave for a consistent audiobook narration business for sometime and have zero complaints, but after this update some very weird things have been happening. One of which is when I select multiple files and try to share them to an outside source say Dropbox or Google Drive the files just don’t send. I tried this for a while and into no avail. This is definitely a bug. This bug is probably the strangest of all. When I hold down a file long enough, it gives me four options in a pop-up one of which is “send to Thomas“. I have absolutely no idea why that would be the case. They definitely need to iron this out or I’m gonna have to drop this for privacy concerns and for the fact that it’s just not convenient anymore to send files out.

### 4/5 — Merveilleuse application !

*2025-12-02*

Merveilleuse application ! Très performante et simple d’utilisation.
Peut-être quelques améliorations au niveau de l’interface et la possibilité de travailler sur plusieurs pistes audio dans le même projet.

### 2/5 — I’m leaving

*2025-09-04, version 1.87*

You guys have made this app so hard to share, it was simple at one time to share your mixes on social media now it’s a head ache
