Longest "Bait and Switch" Scheme Ever Run In App Store

By whocaresatthispoint (Pcmac user)

Run from this app. The slim version is no longer worth the few seconds it takes to download. I've loved this app and have been using it regularly for a very long time—previously had my review at four stars—until this afternoon, when an automatic update removed all but one of its drum kits and many of its other features. Tapping restore does nothing to restore any of the elements I've been using without a problem for the entire time I've been using the app. I'm not sure why the developers felt it necessary to utterly neuter, and thus eliminate the possibility of enjoying, the user experience, but for anyone in the market for an app that's a versatile groovebox, drum machine, synth, etc., and you've heard good things about this one, ignore what you've heard. More important, though, can you really trust developers who decide without warning to take away features you've had and have been using for years in order to engage in a scheme to begin charging for them? In my view, absolutely not.
Nice!

UPDATE - still worth 5 stars to me. Great for acidic loops. Easy export to AudioShare. Still like it! I'm giving it 5 stars right away because I found it so intuitive and easy to get some interesting results from. Compared to other similar apps it just seemed to click for me. I bought the IAP pretty quickly after trying it out. There's plenty more to explore but I'm already sold. I think they did a good job with this so far.
Ignore The Hate

By NoUserErrorHere! (Pcmac user)

this app is magnificent: one of the best workflows I've ever encountered for iOS music making and just the right balance of choice x limitation. The IAP is a bargain and the fact that one can have multiple 303 (or other) instances running simultaneously is a thing of pure beauty. this app sounds amazing as well and we're lucky to have it. Easy 5 stars.
Enticing interface but lacking basic features

By Djbombsquad (Pcmac user)

I got this app cuz it's the only 303 emulator I've seen that has standard piano keys instead of notes for the step sequencer, nice implementation and design. Sadly there's only three instruments: one synth plus a 303 and a drum machine. You can assign any one you want to the four tracks in any order, ie 3 drum machines plus one synth or 4 tracks of 303 if you want. The sound quality is ok at best, the main synth very boring sounding and not very tunable even with 3 oscillators. The 303 and drum machines are just as lacking in tuneablity. As for the drum kits they give you "punch" knob instead of a volume knob per instrument that doesn't really change anything. The worst part is the piano roll or grid mode is only for the analog synth why not every instrument? I went of the pictures in the store. Cons: No audio copy/paste - useless No advanced midi features Laggy note input with keys on real time recording Too expensive Pros: Layout and Design Multiple 303s, easy to program All in all: at the moment this is not a very inspiring music app with a few tweaks could be great. If you want something better and cheaper, I recommend Xenon, 5 tracks and grid sequencer for every instrument and they are all extremely tune-able just like real hardware. Good luck mikrosonic
