User Reviews

SoundGrid provides strong value, an intuitive live-focused grid sequencer, and solid import/export and instrument options. It’s an attractive, affordable option for live play and idea capture. However, reviews cluster on stability issues (crashes/freeze), touch-target problems, and limits like only 8 patterns and limited sound variety, plus gaps in grid management, MIDI support, and external display. If the developers address stability and control refinements, it has potential as a reliable, budget-friendly grid tool for live performance and composition.

Pros

Affordable price with strong value compared to similar grid sequencers.
Intuitive, live-performance–friendly UI.
Import/export options and easy sharing/importing of songs and sounds.
Wide range of instruments with the option to create or upload your own.
Engaging grid-based sequencer that delivers immediate musical results.

Cons

Stability issues including crashes and freezes on various devices (e.g., iPhone 6 Plus).
Touch controls are prone to mis-taps: tiles are too small and hard to select; zoom or better targeting is needed.
Pattern/grid limitations: only 8 patterns/boxes, limiting longer pieces.
Sound quality concerns: samples can sound cheap with static when using headphones and limited sound variety.
Workflow gaps: grid management is cumbersome (difficulty deleting old grids), and there are missing features such as MIDI support and external display options.

Recent reviews

I’m an avid Tenori-On user. The fact that in SoundGrid each instrument needs to have its own scale chosen independently is pretty much an annoyance that breaks the app for me :/

Not sure if the button for patterns is working. Like I click it and nothing happens. So I am stuck being able to only play the first pattern and it will not continue playing onto the 2nd one.

A well-designed musical tool that is more complex than it appears at first glance. For instance, the ability to set loop ranges for each pattern means being able to play a 7 note sequence on top of 12 if so desired. There is a nice selection of instruments available, but of course I want more. (Note to developer: how does one access the web interface mentioned in the description, in order to create instruments?) Another example: adjustable feedback and timing of the delay effect, either in milliseconds or in multiples of a 32nd note ... and fractional multiples if you want. 😎 Very glad to have found this gem.
