FAQ
• Why is there a latency between touching a key and hearing the sound?
The latency is quite high on many Android devices, see the FAQ in the in-app help.
• Why are black bars visible at the left and right screen borders on some Android devices?
This known issue will be resolved in a future update.

Ratings and reviews

HERE'S the interesting thing: This is a carbon copy of the OLD Fl Studio Mobile. No joke. Besides of the intruments, artistry, and slight UI choices, it is practically the same. Which is great. Because FL changed their entire interface a good while back and it works quite well, with a mouse...for anyone stuck with their thumbs it was a fumbling and painstaking effort to do something as simple as changing a notes octave. Great Choice in DAW, good for those who use thumbs for a quick jot.

I've used this before and LOVED it!....FL studios and THIS app are the only ones so far I've run across that actually have Playlist Copy repeat for playlist clips which is useful for creating and mixing from scratch, other than FL this app is one of the best for creating scores using only internal instruments....the instrument sound quality is on point, the set up is convenient.... I will be buying this app in the future....FIVE STARS!! 😀

I wanna rate higher but it doesn't run very well on my phone (Galaxy S20). I get huge playback lag after literally 2 tracks of midi. I can tinker and create but when I listen back it lags like crazy. It has great features but is a bit tricky to navigate at first (I'm used to Cubase/Logic). Definitely what I was looking for in terms of functions and layout. Considering this is in the Google Play store and I have one of the most powerful Android phones, I feel many people will face this issue.
