Wonky workflow.
Transport controls are divided by an fx panel; pattern editing vs. pattern mode buttons are mildly confusing; overall the placement of controls follows no discernible order to my eye, at least.
Not the worst app I’ve ever seen but a more intuitive workflow or at least heuristic help of some kind would probably make this much more usable, as it seems like there’s potential. At least it’s not ugly. :)

Hardware done right!
I keep going to VU202 for quick and simple beat making right now! I have several other apps that do similar things, but a omething about the simplicity of a hardware box converted to software just feels different when it’s done right. VU202 is done right!
Awesome app, but Bluetooth playback seems impossible
Loving this app, very nostalgic to be making beats like this. Unfortunately, Bluetooth playback appears glitched (I know it’s not ideal but it’s my only option sometimes) and sounds like it shorts out upon hitting play. Would love to see this fixed in a future update. Again, fantastic app, lots of fun.

Loving this sampler
I have a lot of sampler apps and hardware ones this one is different with a cool smooth approach. Please make sure the app has a layout for iPad users I am on the iPad Pro 5 it would be nice to have a option for full screen. A cool feature would be nice if we had global master tuning options. Please keep up the great work I am a bata tester also so I am in the loop.

Great app true to the original
This app reminds me of being in high school trying to make beats with anything we could get our hands on! It sounds like a 90's beat tape right out the gate. I do wish it supported background audio so I wouldn't have to have it distilled for it to play. When audio goes through Bluetooth it degrades the sound like it's a phone call. That's weird. I'm not sure if purchases on my iPhone are not conveying to my iPad by design or of this is a glitch, but I'd rather not buy two of everything. I love this app and plan to use it heavily among my other tools.

Wonderful
It really works.I think it’s built well and sounds great.I would like to see it Audiobus compatible eventually.
Great
Man ! You are monster!!! App is great! You change rules of game !
Will we ever get auv or ability to use with a daw?
Love the simplicity of the app. Very direct and easy to use, but would love to be able to use with GarageBand or daw. Will this be available soon?
Response from developer
AUv3 version is in progress - in next update :) and what you mean about export - there is export and export stems
Pure Magic
First the nostalgia hits you (er, me) like a ton of bricks .. but then you realize that the now-primitive devices VU202 is modeled after had everything Right and, the iOS iteration is an idealized version: so fun, so fast and so flexible (fluid access to your own sample libraries and the all-mint IAP packs) with Update improvements lifting the app ever higher. The faithful limitations are the strength here: true to the original workflow and to me one of the most satisfying ways to make beats.

Bangin sound!
Love this!!!!
Caught me off guard
I didn’t expect this to work so well. Dang near a 1:1 .. needs a midi clock and this will become a mainstay in my arsenal. Gonna grab some sample pack’s to support, keep the updates flowing!!
Must have!!
I had a real 202 in the late 90’s! This feels and sounds just like it!! If you’ve had one before or if you’re just trying this for the first time it’s so much fun!!! I highly recommend the VU202! Download and have fun! Peace
SP-202 Emulation
This is an amazing app that emulates the sound and workflow of the famous and iconic Boss SP-202 Dr. Sample. The developer has done a great job with the filters and overall sound quality of the app. Will highly recommend this to anyone into vintage and retro hardware digital sampling machines specially the Boss/Roland SP series of samplers.
