User Reviews

I’ve been beta testing apps for over 13 years so I always contact the developer before I leave a poor review. I’ve contacted them twice and I didn’t even get a quote. We will get back with you email” or “we are busy working on the problem”email. I received nothing. I’m using a few different iPads and yes, the app actually shows the entire app on the iPad, but you can’t use it as a standalone whatsoever. They were supposed to address this in the last update, but it wasn’t. Then, I contacted them because when I use it on my 13 pro max, you can’t see the entire screen. You can’t scroll to the left or the right it’s just cut off. The wave files do not work in standalone app. The wave files that they have and the wave files that you import do not work. again, this was supposed to be addressed in the last update which I contacted them twice in a month and heard nothing. This actually was one of my favorite tape delay apps, but it’s gone into my ‘unsuable’ folder on both my iPhone and my five iPads. If the developer ever gets back with me, then I will most certainly change my review. I’m just a little disgusted at the moment.
