## Review summary

Most reviewers praise the classic MPC-inspired UI, ease of use, and built-in sounds, noting good value for the price. However, recurring issues dominate: audio can be unreliable or missing, the app crashes during play or edit, and hold/sustain features fail after updates. DRM restrictions on Apple Music and limited import/sampling options frustrate users. The UI also feels outdated, with concerns about paid upgrades for existing users. Overall, the app has potential but stability and sampling limitations are significant drawbacks.

### Pros

- Classic MPC-like UI that's easy to use
- Functional and works well when stable
- Built-in sounds and sampling/remix capability
- Good value for the price

### Cons

- Audio issues: frequent no-sound or inconsistent audio
- Frequent crashes during play or editing
- Sampling limitations due to Apple Music DRM and restricted import options
- Hold mode/sustain bugs after updates
- Outdated UI and concerns about update pricing
