Ratings and reviews

Phenomenal app! I can upload my own tracks and organize everything into categories, in a way that makes sense for me. It does absolutely everything I could ask for, and all in a free version! I intend to buy the ad-free version or some packs as a way to support the developer, and they have some cool sounds available for download that I can't find anywhere else. It's so tough to find a simple, free app that just does what I need, without needing to know my mother's favorite dessert as collateral

Truly awesome. I consider myself a very tough critic, but this app left me stunned. I've been playing with it for hours. Nearly flawless UI. Only a couple of minor things: you can only play 2-3 sounds at a time, otherwise sounds don't play. There is an extensive library of icons, but the search bar for them often doesn't yield any results. And when I tried to subscribe monthly the subscribe button gave me the spinning wheel of death and never processed it. All the same, please take my money!

The initial features are easy to understand. Press a button, and it makes the sounds. But I can't cover all of the issues I ran into in one review. The issues I ran into stem from two major problems. There are absolutely no resources online or in the app to help you understand the full features of the app or any help for troubleshooting. And there is no customer service email or anything to reach out to when you run into a bug. I couldn't find it.
