    It’s aight
    I’m sorry but I just wasted $15 or Whateve on this and I already had Fruity loops and didn’t realize it. I love reason on the Mac but fruity loops is the real deal. In this app there were many sound packs and other things that show but “not available” good thing cuz I prob wulda bought them. The GUI is easy to use however very basic options and kind of elementary. I’m not trying to bash reason as I bought the full version for my Mac long time again and integrate it into Ableton. Don’t wanna keep saying the others name but you will see if you try them both. Maybe one day this one will be as robust and functional as the real daw but it’s got a long way to go. Show more

    Great app, but in-app soundpacks have become unavailable
    I’m not sure what happened. I bought 3 sound-packs for the Europa synth and now all the other sound-packs in the store have become ‘unavailable’. What gives?? 4 stars instead of 5 until this is corrected. Show more

    They need to fix this
    I downloaded this app about a month ago and I have not been able to use it. When I open it, a screen pops up with a link that says ‘skip to main content.’ You click the link and nothing happens. I’ve tried updating and reinstalling with no success. Major bug. Disappointed. Think I’ll stick to GarageBand since it actually works Show more

    Am I allowed to still say, “Excellent job, Propellerhead?”
    F***ing wonderfully done, but when are you bringing back Thor?!

    Amazing Audio, Limited Features, 0 Updates
    It‘a been a few years since the developers responded to one of the reviews promising, “More instruments and tracks”, without receiving even a single additional preset. The development progress of Reason Compact is starting to seem eerily similar to that of Figure right before it became semi-abandonware. In other words, the mobile apps division is probably still not much of a priority for Propellerheads, and that saddens me. Anyway, I can’t say I wasn’t already preparing myself for the worst. Losing the creative outlet and community I had come to love on Alihoopa gave me ptsd. As much as I like making clips on Reason Compact, I really have no one to share them with, and no way to do anything else with them since I can’t justify the purchase of Reason Desktop. I really hope that Reason Compact wasn’t conceived as a ploy to convince people to buy the Desktop version. After all, only a fraction of us are actually producers. Show more

    Nice sounds…very limited features though
    I’m not really sure why this app is getting so many 5 star reviews. I’m also baffled as to why this got an Editor’s Choice award. Don’t get me wrong - the sounds are fantastic. But after spending extra money to get all of the unlocks, this is more of a sketch pad than a production tool. Loops are maxed out at 8 bars. And you can’t piece separate files together to create a song. So I’m not sure what the point is. Also, when you create your own idea, the app assigns some unintelligible name to your file for you…which to this day, I don’t know how to rename or even if you can. Oh, and there is no user manual that I can find. I’m not saying this has to have all of the features that something like Cubasis, NanoStudio, Auria Pro have. But when you’re spending money on an app from a reputable company like, I’d expect a little more. Their Thor synth app, on the other hand is phenomenal. However, calling this app Reason when it’s nowhere even being close to their flagship DAW for Windows & Mac is very misleading. Show more
