User Reviews
I bought this app about six months ago and it is pretty cool. It comes with demos and lots of instruments that has more of a variety than garage band, you can add special effects and even make your own instruments. But one problem. When I try to name my sounds it kicks me out of the app. Could you fix that ? In other stuff, I recommend this app to everyone. 😁😀😊😋🤩
I’ve had this app since release. Was fabulous and now NO SUPPORT AT ALL! I paid for the app and all the in apps and now no support or anything. I will change review when the app is usable again. Was one of my faves but now not usable on iOS 13. Please update and don’t let all your supporters be left out in the cold. Please update this app my goodness.
Es una aplicación muy buena. Doy 4 estrellas… Aunque deberían mejorar algunas cosas por ejemplo usar el pich en el teclado ya que no te deja vibrar los sonidos en el teclado. Y mejorar usar más ritmos en el track con samples ya que solo permiten usar un ritmo! Y combinar sonidos etc. debe tener actualizaciones. Ya que mucha gente lo usan.
I’ve used this app for 8 years now and I think it’s better than garageband! The fact you can make your own instruments makes it even better!
I use Cubase and Cubasis both. This DAW, also from the makers of Cubase, is amazing and loads of fun. Just right for the novice. It’s loaded. I recommend it.
Last update was 4 years ago. That says all I or you need to know about this once fine app.
What was the point of Steinberg buying this app? There doesn’t seem to be a benefit whatsoever as far as this app goes.
My bff ¿-._.
This is in my opinion the best mobile daw. I hope it continues to be available for us to download for a lifetime because this app works well with Cubase 3. Let’s keep it up and running.
Used since 2011 it’s awesome leaves a little to be desired in the year 2025 in regards only to the samples but a)that is to be expected when the sample library is as small as it is because it has to fit on a phone and b) it has remained the app that I bought all those years ago. It is great for getting something from your head into some form of audio while you are on the go and proof of concept when you can’t pick up a guitar, drum kit, piano, you get the idea. I’m not a pro by any means I just write for my own pleasure. My issue is most of you are going to have access to garage band and probably don’t care admittedly but this is what I have used and it is as described on the carton.
언제 업뎃 되었는지… 그동안 너무 아쉬었는데 너무 너무 감사합니다~
When I want to use double piano field, I cannot play lower field when I play upper field on Iphone 13mini!! Please fix this problem!!
