I paid for the update and it asks me to pay again.


Forces network login. Avoid like the plague
Dioscorea

After an iOS upgrade it locked me out and demanded I log in with an email address. Which then didn’t work, as it claimed my network connection was down (which it wasn’t). Terrible software. Avoid.


Requires email signup to use.

I really was starting to like this as a nice-sounding toy DAW but now it requires you to have an account with the company to use it. Hey Apple, doesn’t that violate the App Store terms? Anyway: I’m not giving them my email just to play with their app. You might want to but I do not. I don’t know if a subscription (at $20 per month) is required but it might be.


My Favorite of the Grooveboxes
Picciuto Picciuto

I love the simplicity and I love that I can open up the song in Reason and then export the tracks as midi which I can then open in Logic Pro and route the midi to my hardware synths. It’s a long process but allows me to quickly come up with an idea when I’m not in the studio. If they could bring in the features from Figure and add midi export this app would be a GAME CHANGER. That is my dream.


User-friendly but limited
CosmicSandbox

This is hands-down the most user-friendly, easiest, and fastest multi-synth/drum app I’ve found for sketching out simple ideas, and I’ve made a ton of beats on it. The controls are laid out simply and logically, and it’s fast and fun to make music on—though what you can do is limited. Even with the pro features unlocked, it’s still just a collection of three instruments with decent controls and easy-to-use but not very flexible sequencers (you can’t set any number of steps you want; you’re limited to 1, 2, 4, or 8 bars). The synth presets and drum samples sound good, and are fairly versatile, but in order to get anything realIy sonically unique, I always end up augmenting the decent but limited effects and sound-shaping tools by running the beats through external effects. There’s no way to add further instruments or samples as far as I can tell; no odd time signatures; no live stutter if that matters to you; and most inconveniently for me, the mixer screen (or whatever one calls the screen showing all 3 instruments) seems poorly-designed and barely qualifies as a mixer—as far as I can tell you can’t mute an instrument instantly; you have to turn down its volume knob, and when unmuting, the volume snaps back to 73% automatically, with no option to have it snap to a user-determined volume. Maybe I’m missing something; I hope I am, because otherwise this lack of proper muting implementation seems like a glaring design flaw. Despite these limitations, though, the ease, speed and convenience of making music on this app will continue to ensure that it’s useful, even though it isn’t anywhere near a full-fledged DAW app. The ease of use and simplicity make it a perfect starting point for beginners at music, newcomers to sequencing, or even people who may not think they’re musicians! I’ve seen people who couldn’t play any instruments pick up this app quickly and start turning out excellent beats on it, so clearly it’s worth something despite some decisions to make aspects of the design oddly limited. Hoping for an upgrade in the future.


Ripoff copycat of GrooveBox!
Eriptron

You can remove the ‘truth’ Apple (and any ‘negative’ reviews.) This product is a ripoff’ of GrroveBox! Period! Always has been! Likethe x-Files, ‘The Truth Is Out There.’


Been a propeller head User since the beginning
Burl1969

This app is well done. And the quality you would expect from propellerhead. BUT.... the greedy money grabbing for each feature on this product is over the top and simply not worth it. 10$ for all features to be unlocked would be more than fair pricing. But to extort 10$ for nearly each and every thing and then .99 us to death is purely greedy and I am gonna have to pass and delete the app. Message me when you the pricing set at one affordable price to unlock all features.


PLEASE FIX!
Iden rahtsami

Not sure why I need to sign in to use a mobile DAW but after I log in, it takes me to a black screen and nothing happens even if I wait a while, nothing happens.
