The frustration is still present
Oct 2012
For whatever reasons the devs that worked on Figure are definitely not working on this. From day one I have hated the auto save method for projects. I have to create a new duplicate project just incase I edit it to far or if I accidentally move some notes or just want to try different note progressions without having to remember what it was originally. How is this considered a way to allow for forward progressive thinking? There is still no swing function, no real mixer and auto-save saves your volume levels of each instrument and if you’re Ableton linking with another tempo controlled app the tempo gets saved because you decided that auto save was a great idea. Same goes for scales. Please get rid of auto save. Backwards way to work. I’ve never had the app crash so good job there and that makes the idea of auto save or any benefit from it relevant. It only hampers the creative process. I feel like basic octave up and octave down for “locked” unpaid synths should be included free because scale octaves don’t even line up with Figure’s scale settings. On compact, the B scale is a whole octave higher than it is on Figure. Why is there a delay audio gap at the beginning of the loop when exporting sound wav files???????? I have to now guess where the loop actually starts when cutting it? I prefer exporting individual synths and this gap makes it a pain. What if your loop doesn’t have an active note till the second bar? Blind cutting loops….this is 2021. I’m not even going to discuss the swiping to adjust parameters and also swiping to switch pages…… just fix it. Devs, try using the app for a few days syncing with other iOS programs, try exporting wav files and loading them into other programs, try matching scales to other apps, try going between several projects adjusting volumes and making backups. It’s been years….. and it’s like it never left beta. I considered upgrading to reason 11 for the separate VST rack to use in different DAWs but then I think of this app’s lack of progression and stop myself from buying every time. All of the reasons stated above are why I never paid to unlock the drum machine or monotone which then meant not purchasing the additional sound kits for both.
Disappointed

As someone who owns and enjoys Reason for desktop, this is just disappointing. It’s 2021 and all we get is a 3 track? It’s not even worth the time trying to start and idea then export to the desktop version, it’s just too limited.
Not Mobile Reason

This has nothing to do with Reason and asked me to login to something just to use the software. Uninstalled. Why is this being recommended by Apple as an Editor's Choice? Their description mentions Propellerhead which isn't even the name of developer. This app is obvious vaporware that's been abandoned so I'm writing this to help potential buyers become more informed.
App is Broken; Can’t login

Downloaded the app and I am presented with a login screen. I can’t login, because I just get a black screen after I add my credentials. So I’m unable to use the app.
Making music instantly

The learning curve is minimal. You’re making beats and tracks and music in no time. So fun! Super intuitive! Would love to have more instrument tracks though. Seems a bit limiting to only have drums, bass, and leads. Would be cool to stack more instrument layers. Please? In any case, having loads of fun with this little music box.
I really like!

Pretty cool to chill and work out ideas and rhythms. Look forward to seeing how they export to reason. Nice to have big note editors and constrained to three instruments for creativity. Two issues that keep from 5 stars: First there is no count in it seems. So the record function is kind of hard to use. Also, whenever I try to go back to the project selector after working on a project, app gets stuck on “Loading” screen. Easy fix is to restart the app.
Can’t even log in

I just downloaded this app and I’m trying to sign in and every time I try it just soft locks on a black screen requiring me to restart the app, to which the same thing happens again. I can’t even give this app a proper rate because I don’t even know what it does. Fix this please.

Looks like this has been an issue for months for other people— when I try to log in it gives me a black screen. I liked the old app when I had it years ago but I’m not going to give a good review if the developers can’t be bothered to make an app that works lol.
