Ratings and reviews

No issues so far with the app's performance, but I do have an issue with how it renders on a Pixel 8 Pro. The top menu is completely inaccessible as it overlaps the the top information bar. For instance, you can open tuner, but you can't close it as the X is behind the signal/battery icon. It would be nice if it were fixed, as it affects everything. Also, the app stops working if your screen time-out is set to anything other than "forever", it should still work behind the lock screen.

I would like it a lot more if it didn't show me an ad every single time I log in. It didn't used to do this, and I do not want it. Now, every time I want to start my amp, I have to dismiss and ad trying to get me to upgrade to the spark 2. That has gotten really annoying really fast. Aside from that, it's ok, except that it doesn't work with Spotify anymore, which would be useful. Oh, and the AI search thing is not functional. It loads presents that don't make sounds. Bit of an issue.

It's a really bad app , it's terrible. You can't reorder your presets so they are all messed up inside the categories, it's a tidy person's nightmare. Can't rename the categories, why can't I change 'metal' to 'punk' ect I changed my phone and it rewrote the whole thing , deleted all saved presets, favourites ect and now where I used to be able to click a users profile to see their created presets , I cant presets made by positive grid have disappeared
