Love for the creator, but this app makes it nearly impossible to continue working on projects. It's happened to me more often then not when I am working on a project, that when I come back to it. Sounds just will not play. Sometimes the metronome won't sound anymore, maybe only some sounds will play at a time. The app gets 3 stars for atleast being a good musical pass time.

Update: when recording a new sample, it keeps the envelope, EQ, and of the previous one that can make it seem like it's recording static, but it's not! -- Sampler only records static. The comments below say to disable voice assistants, but that's just not acceptable. I shouldn't need to disable a code feature of my phone to use your app.

Cool app but very buggy. Ive had it installed for less than a day and it has crashed my phone 3 times already. Samsung Galaxy s22 plus. I keep trying to record a sequence and it plays some preloaded sound instead of recording the sequence, but it also can be user error because I'm a noob at this. I've watched the YouTube tutorials, and kinda lost, heh. It's fun to mess around with until it crashes my phone.cant use it. Crashing my phone every time. I asked for a refund and was denied.

This sampler has potential, but it is very frustrating to use. Mostly the piano roll doesn't respond to touch very well, but also, you can't zoom into it, so all the paino notes are way too small. There are limitations this thing has, which is to be expected for a sampler you can have on your phone, but then again, there are full on daws made for phone as well, so the limitations don't make all too much sense. Like the small amount of effects.

Good app but SO BUGGY! This app has been incredible in helping me learn production and make music, but the bugs turn a fun creative experience into pure frustration! Things like automation don't work properly when building a full song, and the piano roll is a total pain to work with half the time. Everything else works wonderfully and is pretry intuitive, but I just can't bring myself to actually finish the songs I want to with the few problems there are and it's really upsetting.

When we try to record anything it just records static. The phone recorder works just fine. We followed all the suggestions on the FAQ. You cannot export an audio file of your work from the app. Update: the developer contacted us and we are trying to work on why voice recording is not working on my phone.

This could be a really great app but it's not super usable at the moment, I was making my own drumset (as one does) and scrolling through the samples and accidentally deleted several of them just by slightly moving them when i was trying to tap them. Have no idea where they went but that kind of turned me off using it in the future

Decent functionality, given the limitations of a small phone screen. I would like to see frequency shifts that don't modify the sample timing, since as is, it plays the samples faster or slower to get pitch shift, which means if you have a sample with a specific tempo, changing the pitch changes the tempo. The UI still needs a bit of polish when dealing with external files, but is mostly there. The v1.3.2.238 release fixed the crashing in background problem, so changing my rating from 1 to 4.

Enjoying this app so far except for one thing. I literally have to flip my phone in order to use one side of the menu! The buttons overlap with the home buttons on Android (I don't like the apple-esque guesture swipes) so I have to rotate my phone every time I want to use the other side of the menu. Otherwise a super neat app & I'd raise my review if it gets fixed or I can get some help on this.

I can't wait to unlock the potential of this app once the bugs are worked out. However, I keep running into issues with the midi taking a long time to respond to my touch regardless of the buffer size and the app keeps random crashes. I'm using an s22 ultra. (Edit: I am using the pad feature within the app to try to record a beat, not an external midi controller)
