Ratings and reviews

It's a great app and a fun little tool. I have one request. Could you include a menu to arrange in what order the drum packs come in? I feel like it would be fun to play arround with different drum sets together by switching mid loop. I've already found two that work pretty well with each other and I transition using the freeze effect and then letting off once I change my drum pack.

Excellent little drum sketcher; could easily use this in productions too. Although I can't seem to figure out how to add custom loops, the instructions are a bit unclear about which part is supposed to pop up with instructions; I've pressed and held everything with no luck.

Great pick-up-and-play experience, but only has 8 audio loops to play with. Not much depth, but that's what exporting your "performances" to a DAW is for. The info dropdown is hard to reach on my phone (bottom of screen), I don't think it's showing fully, and I can't scroll down on it. Leaves me wondering if the "BASE" [sic], "SNARE", white dot, or double circle symbol are supposed to do anything. Still worth it as a fun toy to scratch that D&B/Jungle/etc. itch on the go.
