### 5/5 — Powerful Yet Deceptively Simple

*2018-09-24*

The app comes with a number of sounds which you can warp and reshape using your finger. You can resize and position these sounds on the grid.

Files app integration for the app is great as you can import your own sounds and export the ones you’ve made in the app.

The app can be a great way to precisely mangle sounds for use in other apps. The ability to zoom in and the clear GUI making using the app straightforward so that making your edits is not fiddly.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for this review!
