## Review summary

Pegboard is praised for its intuitive mobile isomorphic keyboard and depth of features, plus a friendly pricing vibe. Major drawbacks center on licensing and purchase headaches, post-update instability, and key feature gaps like limited polyphony and lack of a sequencer. Preset load times and variation also surface. Overall, a strong concept with enjoyable playability and potential, but implementation and support issues hinder consistent usability.

### Pros

- Well-designed UI with a mobile-friendly isomorphic keyboard.
- Fresh, humble design and a pricing model that doesn't push premium features.
- Deep feature set with many parameters and controls.
- Fun and accessible for mobile music creation.
- Good sound potential and useful for experimentation on the go.

### Cons

- Licensing/purchase issues: trouble restoring purchases and unclear options for the full version.
- Stability problems after updates: crashes, black screen, and broken functionality on some devices.
- Limited polyphony and missing features: only two voices, no sequencer, and no tempo snapping.
- Slow preset loading and some presets sounding repetitive or unclear in their origin (generated vs. sample).
