It will be easier to operate on an tablet than on the phone. I have lost two projects on this app. The drag and drop has to be very precise. Quantize has to be done in small quantities I made the mistake to quantize the whole beat, it went chaotic; it is okay when apply on small amount of notes only. After a chaotic quantize which I tried undo, it only undo one note at a time; in the middle of rescuing my project, all notes were erased and no redo/undo function can help. There are bugs in this app, if any operation doesn’t make sense, restart the app. Even closing the app is tricky. There are lots of features for fine tuning, but if the creation part cannot lay down a beat, I cannot use those features. The basic functions for composing are not carefully secured, while they tried to offer a lot of advance features. My advise is for users to create multiple disposable short/quick projects, get use to this app first, before RELYING on it to create. Show more

After playing for about an hour, the program crashed three times.Not at a specific time, but at random.

If you’re a musician, and you don’t get this app, you’re missing out in one of the most brilliant new tools on the market. You won’t regret the money you spend. I can sit and spend hours at a time on this thing. Every time I open a new project I have a great time with it. %100 will release an album of stuff made mostly with this tool. Show more

Everything about this app is just so much fun. I constantly just want to open it. I love the layout/GUI. It has such a cohesive workflow/pipeline which makes the creative pathway from start to finish very enjoyable. My only feedback at this point is if there could be a way that arming the record button just starts recording whenever you start playing and then loops upon pressing the record button again. And lastly, if in keyboard view, you could opt for the drum pads along the top instead of 2 keyboards. Everything is just so responsive that I just turn quantize off and the performance is accurately captured every time! Thank you for this beautiful instrument! Show more

I cannot believe how clever and wildly useful this ridiculously cheap app is. Don’t get it if you can’t afford to lose hours creating legit recordable samples and patterns. Not for people who think making music should feel like hard work, because this is pure fun. Show more

Already, something as simple as throwing a pattern in the trash bin crashes the app (consistently, too). That is such a rudimentary thing to get right, I can only imagine what awaits me. Interesting app, definitely glad it exists, but I think I will wait for it to be in the oven a bit longer. Show more

I love using this app, helps me effortlessly get the classic sampling goodness anytime anywhere. It would benefit from a couple more effects, maybe a distortion or flanger/phaser. Also, this sampler NEEDS a loop function. More often than not, my samples are cut short when I try to do chords or melodies with lots of pitch shifting. Show more

The app is great and fun to use however when you try to export stems or a master it will randomly decide to give you only partial tracks which makes the whole thing unusable for recording. Really disappointed Update: When exporting stems, you get wildly different file sizes each time you export the same project and the tracks are incomplete. What’s the point of this sampler? I gave the app a one-star because, without the ability to export stems, anything I do is locked on my device and that’s not helpful or why I bought the product. Also, I reached out to support directly days ago and through YouTube, and to Charles on Twitter without receiving a response. Show more

this isn’t really a review i guess, but the app just won’t open. i’ll click on it to open it but it just closes immediately. i don’t if i’m doing something wrong or if it’s the app, but i just can’t figure it out. i was really excited to finally get this app and play around with it but this has just really disappointed me and i’m just confused what’s wrong. if i could get any help or information on what could possibly be wrong and how i could fix it it would be greatly appreciated. for now only two stars, but if i can get the app actually running i’ll definitely change that Show more

** there seems to be a bug with dragging clips to the trash icon on bottom right** This is the gateway drug for apple products. this app along made me decide to borrow a friend’s old ipad sitting in the dust and now look at me I bought myself an ipad pro. Anyway jokes aside, right now it crashes when I use magic keyboard accidentally (not supported) during renaming a project. Show more

I love the app when it works as it should, that being said I bought two sample packs but it won’t let me download them.? I would like some help with that. Show more

No fault to Andrew - his videos are clear and easy to follow. He makes the app more fun than it actually is. The app just seems cluttered to me and the interface really distracting visually. Plus there are too many bugs. An update would be nice as well that includes AUM integration which I see a lot of reviews mentioning. I was using it for a bit to some success and just when I started getting in a good groove everything got glitchy. Suddenly it bugged out so I closed the app. When I restarted it, no sound came out whatsoever and it suddenly cannot import wav files? So I began using AudioShare and same problem. However audio is playing samples from the online marketplace where all of Andrew’s influencer friends upload packs and content. Also, I am experiencing an issue where the pads are not playing the actual loaded samples while looping. In place of a “sub kick” it’s playing a completely different sample kicked up in pitch like an fx sample or a bell - it sounded like just a beep. I had to delete my entire sequence and start all over again only to have the same issue occur. Sorry but this is a pass. Show more

Personally I love this app. It helps me express the trashy sounds before am actual production session. I've also take some really cool samples at work through the record sample button. Unfortunately after a few weeks of enjoying the Operation pocket DAW, the app just bugged out and deleted files and sounds I had uploaded into the library. I think I might have messed something up during a file sort but after looking into it & moving the files back, it still doesnt bring back my sounds and even the stock beats and stock sound kits. Overall this app has so much potential but it's too bugy. It would compare to an alpha mode DAW. A better comparison is to EA and Dice launches of every Battlefield title. I'm hoping that eventuall the app will be good. Show more

Whenever I press record and I immediately stop the recording without playing anything, when I try to play back the sounds previously recorded, I can’t hear it at all unless I exit the app. Also whenever I go to the song order tab and mess around on it for too long the app kicks me out. Please let me know if it’s just my phone being dumb:) Show more

Great sampler. Only thing that would make it better is if you could export your work as a wav file rather than just a zip. But since they fixed the issue with InterApp Audio, I can use it with GarageBand again, so I can go back to saying it’s my favorite sampler even without an export to wav feature. Show more

TL;DR don't rely on any one DAW especially this one that's still new. An apple pen might come in handy more than not. It's about the sampler for quick ideas and fun not detail but it's still handy.------------------- Inspired by Andrew Huang and excited to hear of his new app I bought the latest iPad mini (not sure if it's as good as his phone he uses for the videos) and thought it was very innovative and still do. My problem is making mistakes on the daw is troublesome to fix when the playlist sequencer is the most difficult to use out of my others (beatmaker 3 and cubasis, even GB). The metronome isn't working for me either and sometimes you can lose samples if not saved correctly in flip. Itd be nice to handle your notes in sequence without richocheting a bunch of copy pasta and then having to tirelessly undo them individually. Show more

This is the ideal tool to keep learning and creating anywhere. Making music with whatever comes to hand is so easy with this app. It took about 3 minutes to learn the basics and I’m off! And now with MIDI functionality! Even better. Show more

I badly want to like this app but there is always something wrong with it. Right now it’s lagging real bad. Super frustrating. Before it was a bunch of other nuanced stuff. Show more

I love Andrew and the work he put into this but at the same time every time I use it, it has a different weird glitch that happens every time 5 minutes in. I have a new iPad Air. Wish I knew what to do Show more
