Great notepad for songwriters
How do I use this app? I use it when I have a song idea I need to jot down, and I’m nowhere near my equipment. It’s simple, it’s limited, but it gets the job done, and it sounds great. I haven’t paid for any of the bells & whistles, but I don’t need them for what I’m using this for.
Great but could be amazing
Love this app but will be there be more expansions or even new sound libraries? My 3 stars would be 5 if more stuff is added
Export
Unable to export
Bad password reset support
Why not just have it start? Why do I need to log in? Didn’t I just buy it and why aren’t the instruments simply linked with apple? Sigh, this app could be simpler or better. Will continue using the desktop one. Otherwise other apps are better. Lots of hype, lacking features. This starts up like a authenticator not a music app. Also your password reset support is lacking. Uninstalling.
Require login and no login with Apple
Why do I have to manage a password just to use this? Take my email for spam, sure, but what is the threat model here? Someone hacks my phone passcode and then quantizes my beats without permission?!?!?
Best sketchpad ever for iOS - update please!
I use this every day to work on new ideas - please don’t let it fall by the wayside like so many other great apps. This little thing is only second to my browser apps on my screentime. Happy to support keeping this little thing going however I can!
Great for veterans and newbies
Whether you’re well acquainted with Propellerhead’s Reason or never used any DAW or even a phone synth or drum machine or whatever; this is a powerful app that is great for laying down ideas before they slip out of your head. It’s a simple 3 module set up, drum sequencer, synthesizer sequencer and bass synth sequencer but the possibilities are endless! It’s of quality samples in the free version and you can seamlessly export it as a file or straight to Ableton or any other app. It’s dope. As an audio engineer and musician I love it. It’s pretty sturdy and only froze like once sometimes the audio drops out but I have an older iPhone so it’s 100% awesome. GET IT NOW. you’re missing out if you don’t have this tool.
