Basic Website (I do judge a book by its cover ✊)

I was using the app for general music editing. Thought I'd look at the Help section and was directed to a website that isn't really a music site.
The app looks nice and polished but the website looks very much like an HTML page. Doesn't give me much confidence about the app.

Impressively Professional Performance

This app has been invaluable to me, and at a price point that is literally laughable for the capacity it provides

Meets my needs at no cost

Comes in handy when I need to record something not available online. Easy to work with. Plenty of options to get what I want. Fairly intuitive controls for easy editing and saving.

Superb!

I don’t really have a whole lot to say, except that this is the greatest iOS audio editor I’ve ever had the pleasure to use! Where have you been all my life? Thanks to the developers for making a masterpiece of an app!
