Update May 2020: PLEASE UPDATE! All of us coronavirus impacted musicians need this awesome tool to be stable!! PLEASE!?!?! Update January 2020: I’ve got SOOO many notes and ideas in this thing that I don’t want to quit using it but it’s becoming unusable often. Hangs and crashes galore! But I will say it has so far eventually synced with the cloud. But I have to wait and wait. You would think that Apple would be embarrassed to have it this buggy. ——————- This app is such a great idea and has been a wonderful sketch pad and writing tool. BUT! It's gotten SOOOO sluggish and crash prone and buggy. As other reviewers have stated, this is pretty consistent after deleting and reinstalling. I love how you can take these recordings into GarageBand and then into Logic Pro to start building real tracks from these scratch tracks. Apple, you can and should do better than this! Your creative and pro apps users (who supported you and helped you survive the "dark years" before Jobs came back) are starting to feel really left out.
I really hope that there can be more updates to this app in terms of bug fixing and just improving general function. The app is slow to start up (when I open it, I have to press the record button several times before it does anything), it is slow to start playing back recordings (sometimes the play/pause button doesn’t respond at all), along with some other things I can’t think of. I really like the concept of this app and I still use it a lot (I have hundreds of recordings on it!), so I look forward to seeing the improvements to come!
This app is awesome for quickly throwing down an idea. And it will give you readings of the notes, analyze tempo and even tell you a key. Plus there’s an automatic drum and bass track that you can turn on or off with the press of a button. Perfect app for sketching music ideas really quick.
Adjusting Downbeat by 1/16 notes, more time signature options, and most of all, smart tempo correction on saving would be great.
Al principio funcionaba bien, pero ahora se traba y no me permite grabar ni escuchar mis pistas lo cual es frustrante porque ahí guardo mis ideas
Unfortunately as much as I have tried to make this app work due to bugs, confusing ux, and just weird behavior I have lost several song ideas. I know I’m never going to be famous and in the scheme of things my stuff isn’t important, but to me it’s everything.
It blows my mind that Apple would release this app and never address its crippling bugs.
