About this app

Koala is the ultimate pocket-sized sampler. Record anything with your phone's mic or load your own sounds. Use Koala to create beats with those samples, add effects and create a track!

Koala’s super intuitive interface helps you make a tracks in a flash, there is no brake pedal. You can also resample the output of the app back into the input, through the effects, so the sonic possibilities are endless.

Koala's design focuses totally on making the music making progress instant, keeping you in the flow and keeping it fun, not getting bogged down by pages of parameters and micro-editing.

"Been putting that $4 koala sampler to good use lately. Undeniably great tool that puts some of these expensive beat boxes to shame. A must cop."

Ratings and reviews

You can do so much. I have tried fl studio, flip, and many other apps. This is the best on android. Latency is good sound quality is as good as the audio you use (had a bad mic on a phone and recorded audio was so bad) can do many things a full DAW can do minus fm synthesis. Gotta get or make your out sounds but everything else this can do. Fx are aight. Just a good sampler with many thoughts out workflows

This is quite literally the best music app. If you wanted to make music and can only have one app this is all you need. It's a SAMPLER! You have a mixer, resampling, FX, piano 🎹 roll,Sequencer, time stretch, midi. like d**n😆 it's like you have a SP-404 in your pocker. paired with YouTube to mp3 you can get your ideas out and make all the music you want.

Just stumbled on this app a couple weeks ago. Gotta say, it's the best sampler for android you'll ever find! I paid for the full version and paid for all the added features and if they release more features.....I'll be paying for those too! It's so intuitive I didn't even need a manual. It's so close to replacing my my entire DAW. Endless possibilities. Easy workflow. I can't get over how incredible it is. I've been creating source sounds on my PC and importing them to the app. 10X stars!!!!
