### 5/5 — 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

*2026-06-19, version 1.6.7*

Can you Please add a metronome

### 5/5 — Great audio editing tool

*2026-05-20*

Simple high-quality audio editing tool, absolutely perfect!

### 4/5 — Why is iPhone limited compared to the iPad version?

*2026-03-25*

I like this app but apparently you can’t choose to enable multitrack mode (only individual solo tracks that you can toggle between)and you can’t import files (only paste from clipboard) while on the editing page on iPhone. You can’t even access the browser while editing on iPhone. There’s no good reason for that to be the case. Are these options extremely well hidden or just missing? I do appreciate the easy system audio recording (without having to save the video) and the fact that the file browser (only on iPad, apparently) doesn’t duplicate audio files in order to browse and preview them. Much credit for unique features like that which can’t really be found in other apps. On top of that, it’s available on iPhone, iPad and Mac. But, please continue to improve the experience. The same feelings go for Dawnbeat which has so much potential as long as it’s not abandoned.

### 5/5 — Good app

*2026-03-09*

Good for small edit, if added common split and blent edit tools . if The common essentials tools becomes easy and handy it would be amazing

### 5/5 — Great App-A Few Suggestions

*2026-03-08*

I use this app as part of my daily workflow & consider it to be essential. Its design is very clever and efficient.  I do however, have a few  very important suggestions. 

The latest update removed the “Zero Crossing” option from the main screen and buried it at the bottom of a menu. Please consider putting it back where it was. I regularly switch it on and off and its new location slows me down quite a bit. 

Also,  the “Fade in” and “Fade out” buttons are combined. I understand that this saves space, but I always use Fade out and only sometimes use Fade in. I use the Zero Crossing function for sample start points and Fade out for the end points. If I want to alter the start point, I turn off Zero Crossing, set the location, and apply a Fade in. The way things are laid out presently, adds lots of button presses to that task. 

If there was an option to store desired buttons in the taskbar, everyone could customize the GUI to suit their needs. 

Finally, and this one is minor, when you select an action or effect, the item opens up and covers the play button. This requires us to always need to slide it out of the way in order to audition the change. 

As I mentioned, this app is essential to me and I think you’ve done an excellent job with it. I also appreciate the fact that you continue to update it. 

I’ve written multiple emails to the support address, but never received a response, so I’m attempting to contact you here. I don’t know if Apple allows us to roll back to older versions of apps. If so, I definitely would if only to regain easy access to the Zero Crossing button. 

Thank you for creating this great app and I would love to hear your thoughts.

### 4/5 — Great App For Samples

*2026-02-14*

Great app for editing samples to drop into other apps. I have a few AU plug ins that crash with this but apart from that it is very useful.

### 5/5 — Incroyable

*2026-01-22*

J’ai un paquets d’applications liées à la musique mais là je tire mon chapeau car pour un tout gratuit je reste impressionné… à tel point que j’ai du vérifier si elle n’était pas payante ou un abonnement caché quelque part ! Un grand bravo aux développeurs car cette application est tout simplement magnifique

### 4/5 — Sencilla y practica.

*2026-01-16, version 1.6.4*

Me encanta.

### 4/5 — Basic function missing

*2026-01-03, version 1.6.5*

Purchased the application based on some reviews and I can say that in general is pretty great! But for the name of God.. how is it possible that there is no play head dragging?? And of course play head scrubbing which is the most important function in audio editing. Updatade immediately.

### 2/5 — Large Files Not Supported

*2025-12-11*

I bought this specifically to cut 2 seconds off the very beginning of a nearly 120 minute recording. Unfortunately, every time I try to cut that small section, wavebox deletes the entire recording. It works as it should for smaller files/recordings, but it didn’t work at all on the large file I needed to edit.
