When I installed the app, I got the message that it may not be compatible with my version of android. Indeed, all I got was a blank screen with no settings, menu, or anything else. Pressing anywhere on the screen gave absolutely no feedback from the app. Uninstalled and refunded immediately. Very disappointed, as I was hoping a special needs student would be able to use this to take part in my electronic music class.

If only, it ran on my most recent Android phone. I've had this beautiful app since Blackberry Playbooks were a thing... seriously. It's a gorgeous beat sequencer that is super intuitive and even an excellent tool for children to explore electronic music. Unfortunately, it is out of date and finally stopped working on my newer Android phone as of 2021.

An interesting and beautifully sounding concept. Sadly very poor documentation. It took me a while to find out how to start with an empty scene instead of the preloaded one. No update since 2014 raises the question if this is abandonware (although still payware). I would at least expect system updates and MIDI support (USB and OTG MIDI out) by now.

Used to be great, hasn't been updated in years. Doesn't even work now sadly.

I've used this app for years, it feels like you're creating a living breathing piece of music when you set the generators and nodes to move. This old app is fantastic, surprised it still works on Android 9 at this point.

I've had this app on my phone for so long. I love this app. I've used it during a band jam and it was pretty awesome mixing technology with some string instruments. this app doesnt really need an update ; old is gold.
