    Useless
    What’s the point of making a tune here if we can’t continue working on it on another device? I have a lot of tunes I was working on another phone but can’t import them on my new iPhone. Show more

    Room for improvement
    The app is very nice for something free (unless you get the membership subscription) but something that it could have is for you to hear the notes you add as you press them but either way it is a great application. Show more

    Carbon copy of Reason Studio iOS???
    Garbage. It seems to be almost an EXACT replica of Reason Studio for iOS. Luckily, I learned with that app, it is barely worth $5, and there is not a chance I am going to pay 3x that amount for a clone! Not to mention, just about every other synth maker in the iOS world has their plugins and suites on killer 25-75% off sales for the holiday season. Not Groovebox, Blocs Wave, or Launchpad, and I’m REALLY unhappy with Novation for jumping on the software rental bandwagon that Adobe seems to have pioneered. That’s fine, they can do that if they like, but the idea that I would rent a virtual implementation of a hardware imitation is laughable, at best. I love my Summit, Circuit Rhythm, and LaunchKey mk3, but that is it for me; I’m done with Novation. Show more

    Love it still! - One of my favorite apps but….
    Still no sharing between devices… The only thing missing for my use case is the ability to share between devices. Having the option to save projects to iCloud would fix that. I use it for sketching things out and creating base tracks then export into Launchpad or other apps to add additional material. Sounds great and easy to get something going. It’s very inspiring!

    Sad. So much potential.
    It’s like they almost finished each thing but just didn’t quite make it to the end. No way to get your midi tracks out of here. Bundle out is not to anything on the iPad. Row transitions are not synced so you can’t prestage any changes. No way to export a song. Not sure why such critical things are missing after all this time. Show more

    Love it, but it’s missing one thing
    Even though I really feel like developers don’t really read these or care much about what their customers want I’ll still leave my two cents….. Groovebox is one of my favorite IPad apps hands down , partly because of its ability to export projects to Ableton and partly or mostly because of its sounds. I love all the synths and definitely recommend unlocking them. The available iap presets are great and very affordable. The mixer is barebones, no panning or eq, compression or anything but it’s ok because I really don’t mix in Groovebox. I love the sounds but one things missing. Bread and butter sounds, like pianos, organs, acoustic guitars, strings, etc. I think it would be amazing if there were a couple more instruments available, a pcm instrument with Gm sounds and a sampler, a good sampler with slicing capabilities. Not limiting it to 8 tracks would be nice too. 16 tracks would be more than enough for me. I hope the developers read this but if not, it’s all good, this is still a great app. Show more

    AUv3 please?
    The app is great, no question. But I won’t use it without AUv3. When that’s supported it will get six stars

    Awesome App!
    This app is great for capturing ideas and the instruments are top notch. Honestly the only thing I miss is a sampler, but other than that this app is amazing. Also, if there was a way to export the drums separately that would also be really useful ? Show more
