ConcertLove — the archive of your nights You have seen them all. The room that was too full, the encore nobody saw coming, that one night in July you still bring up. ConcertLove keeps them, with the setlist attached and the people who stood beside you. WHAT IT DOES Mark a show and it is in your archive, with the official setlist from setlist.fm beside it — fetched live, so never out of date. If a concert isn't there yet, add it by hand or paste the link. Your own songs, your own note and the rating you give that night belong to it. YOUR ARCHIVE IS YOURS, ON EVERY DEVICE One ConcertLove account. Mark a show on your phone and it is on your iPad. No signal in the venue? Everything you write waits patiently and goes out the moment you are back online. WHO WAS THERE Add the people you went with. If they are on ConcertLove too, they get asked and can confirm it themselves — then the night sits in two archives. Went on your own? Say so, and the app stops asking. THE CONVERSATION AFTERWARDS Every concert carries a thread for the people who were there. For the photo of the setlist, the "what was that song called again", the message the morning after. You get a notification when someone says something, and it stays with the night it was about. WHAT IS STILL TO COME The shows you are going to sit apart, with the start time from your own ticket and the people you are going with. Concerts already in your calendar come in with one tap. WHAT IT ADDS UP TO Statistics that tell your own history back to you: how many nights, which artists you keep going back to and when you saw them, the rooms you stood in most, the festivals and the years you went. Behind every number is the list that counted it. And a poster of your concert year for the wall. BRING WHAT YOU ALREADY HAD Your favourite artists from Spotify, your concerts from your calendar, a song you recognise with Shazam when you want to know whether they are playing nearby, or your own history from setlist.fm. EXPORT Your whole archive as a beautifully design list in a PDF: by year, with the people who were there. Yours, to keep or to pass on. And a Concert Poster option to print a beautifully designed poster to be printed for your family to know when the next concert will be. PRIVACY No ads, no tracking, no third-party analytics. Your archive lives on your own account; you decide who you share a night with. Blocking someone or reporting a message works everywhere that person appears, and you can delete your account from inside the app — which takes everything with it. Setlists come from setlist.fm and stay there: ConcertLove fetches them live and never stores them. Every feature is available to everyone. No subscription, no tiers.

Konstrukt is a patchable instrument for iPad and iPhone. Design the surface you play, sequence it, give it sound with built-in instruments and your own AUv3 plug-ins, mix and record it — and when you want to go deeper, unlock the visual graph underneath and rewire all of it. Standalone, and as an AUv3 in your host. SURFACES YOU DESIGN • The KB-1 keyboard suite — piano, diatonic chord pads, scale-locked keyboard, MPE Seaboard ribbon, MPE Strings grid (4ths) and a 4×4 drum-pad grid, each with an arpeggiator. Successor to the KB-1 Expressive Keyboard Suite. • Knobs, faders, XY pads, buttons, live visualizers and channel strips on a snapping grid, in pages like hardware banks. Bind any control to MIDI CC — or, with the unlock, to any parameter in the patch. A SUITE OF SEQUENCERS • Drum, melody, chord, analog and CC lanes, the Drum Grid, a Metropolis-style Stage Seq and a Matrix note grid — tap to edit, with per-step velocity, probability, trigger conditions, ratchets and microtiming. • Patterns up to four bars, eight banks per lane. Record into patterns step by step or live, then fix it in the grid. A Looper with quantize, undo and expression capture. • Players: one tap on a lane writes a pattern from a style and a Complexity slider — drums with fills, a bass under your chords, chord stabs and pushes. • One patch key and scale every lane can follow, custom scales, and chord lanes with their own rhythm layer. INSTRUMENTS AND YOUR PLUG-INS • Built in: a two-oscillator Synth, a Wavetable synth, Drums, MegaSaw, a Sampler and a loop Slicer, plus Drive, Filter, Delay, Reverb, Compressor, EQ, Chorus and Phaser — each with its own panel. • Host your AUv3 instruments, effects and MIDI effects inside the patch (standalone app), with floating plug-in windows, presets and bindable parameters. THE RACK • A strip per instrument: fader, pan, mute and solo, inserts, pre- or post-fader sends to bus strips, sidechain, MIDI Learn, master inserts, and scenes recalled with a fade. Hardware synths join as External Instruments. • Bring a mic or guitar in on its own channel. Record the master and stems to 24-bit WAV. Tap tempo, metronome with count-in, Ableton Link, MIDI clock in and out. Multi-output routing on a multi-channel interface. UNLOCK — THE GRAPH EDITOR (in-app purchase) Everything above runs on one visual graph that carries MIDI and audio. Unlock the editor to rewire it: • 80+ node kinds — arps, scale quantizers, chords, echoes, swing, euclidean rhythms, LFOs and CC tools, wired MIDI In → processors → instruments or MIDI Out. • Components — save a cluster of nodes as one card with real ports, its surface cards included; drop saved components into any patch and edit them inside. • Audio on the same canvas — cable instruments through effect chains and hosted effects, split sends to buses, key a sidechain. The Rack is this graph seen as strips. • Emergence generators — Game of Life, Turing machine, Wolfram rules, Markov chains, bouncing balls, a Lorenz attractor — patterns that evolve instead of loop. Every keyboard is a routable node, every knob can drive any parameter. Factory graph patches open and play without the unlock. The unlock is the editor and nothing else. WITH HARDWARE, OTHER APPS OR A DESKTOP DAW • MIDI out over CoreMIDI, extra output ports and an always-on virtual port: 16 channels plus MPE. • One USB cable to a Mac, or Bluetooth MIDI — two MPE surfaces and a controller that reshapes per track, no driver needed. • As an AUv3, load Konstrukt as a MIDI processor or as an instrument in hosts such as AUM, Logic Pro, GarageBand, Cubasis, Drambo and Loopy Pro. PRICING One-time purchases, no subscription. The app is the whole instrument; the graph editor is a single optional unlock. One purchase covers iPad and iPhone. Requires iOS 17 or iPadOS 17 or later; on iPhone the app runs in landscape. Plug-in hosting, audio input and recording are part of the standalone app. No user data is collected.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Konstrukt at every 5 days against ConcertLove's every 3 months. ConcertLove's advantage is price ($1.99 vs $7.99). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
