  • LOVE this app

    I love this app because it sounds great and is simple to operate. It is one of the apps that keeps me on an iPad these despite all it flaws. I only wish I could share my work across devices somehow. I sometimes compose on my phone but really prefer working on the iPad. Thanks to the developers keeping it alive and up to date.

    This was a good app , one of my favorites. Started last year maybe even longer than that. When playing .. one section of the synth or drum control would disappear and wouldn’t reappear. You just have a black empty slot. So you couldn’t make any adjustments if needed. Emailed the company and they said they were aware of it and were working on fixing it. Year goes by and it still isn’t fixed. So I emailed them a few days ago and they said they don’t know how to fix it and was sorry for the inconvenience…..Wasted money on all the sound packs I bought. I’ve bought a lot of equipment, midi keyboards,apps and sound packs from this company. They didn’t offer any kind of refund for an app that I can no longer use. I won’t use or by anything else from them or any affiliates tied to them.

    Typically, I hate apps like this. Obviously this is the exception to the rule. The simplicity with which you work in, Groovebox makes it fun even when you’re experimenting. I’m not a fan of apps that are constantly trying to sell you new features new sounds. I much prefer a set price along with IP’s. It’s not unreasonable to expect money to transact if new features are brought on or there is a substantial change in quality based on various libraries and features . On the other hand, it does bug me a little bit. However, most of the improvements in libraries are reasonably priced and they give you some kind of idea on the libraries what it is you’ll be buying which is such a difference from almost everything else that you purchased through the iPad store . Sun quality is excellent, the ability to create complex structures is so simple it almost seems like you’re cheating. It’s fun too recommended
  • Almost perfect, but one frustrating issue.

    I love practically everything about this app, but I have one issue with it. I wish there was an (on/off) option for patterns to switch when the currently playing sequence ends instead of when switching exactly when you press the next pattern button. It sounds too abrupt and the timing is difficult to make the transition sound seamless. In other words, I want it to work like the sequence snap feature in Koala Sampler. Groovebox would be my main music app if they added this feature. I’ve deleted the app because of this issue and will happily download again when they include this feature.
