Violibration turns touch into tactile exploration. Drag across the screen to feel responsive haptic surfaces such as velvet, sand, water, vinyl and static. Browse five surface families: Soft, Granular, Fluid, Mechanical and Magnetic. Tune intensity and sensitivity while each texture reacts to speed, curves and reversals. Try locked surfaces with quick previews, unlock a favourite family, or unlock the full tactile library with one purchase. Designed for iPhone haptics, with a visual mode for devices where live haptics are unavailable.
MeloDraw
Read full descriptionHide full description
Draw a melody or a beat and hear something genuinely new every time - not a pre-made pack, a fresh procedural generation each draw. Shape what you draw: adjust tempo and pitch afterward, extend a piece you like, keep every past draw in your history and swipe back through it. Layer a melody with a beat into a Combo, then arrange several drawn pieces into a full song. REAL INSTRUMENTS, ANY SOUND - All 128 General MIDI instruments, played with real sampled sound. - Build your own custom sound three ways: a slider editor, humming into the mic, or a photo's colours. RECORD YOUR OWN VOICE - Play a saved song while recording vocals over it - MeloDraw mixes them together automatically. - Multiple people's takes can sit on the same song, each tagged with who sang it. YOUR MUSIC, ON YOUR DEVICE - No account, no server, no internet connection at all - MeloDraw has no networking code. - Back up your whole library to a file and restore it on a new device whenever you like. - Turn on App Lock to keep your saved music behind Face ID or Touch ID. Free to use, with no in-app purchases.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MeloDraw at none against Violibration's 6. MeloDraw also leads on update cadence (daily vs monthly). Violibration's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
