It’s Decently Decent

For a free/lite version of a DAW that you have to pay for, it’s alright, if you’re a beginner in music making and stuff

_Magister_ ,

Excellent app, but absolutely no accessibility for those requiring Voice-Over support!

Whilst this is a brilliant app, it is utterly impossible to use for anybody requiring voice-over access! Not one of the controls are Accessible, or conform to Apple's Accessibility guidelines, making the app for them totally unusable! A tremendous pity, And the reason I've marked it one sta, rather than the five otherwise it would have received.
Many blind and severely visually impaired musicians, Sound designers, etc. use iOS, because of its in-built Voice-Over Accessibility; unfortunately, none of them Will be able to use what otherwise is a superb app!
Should this shortcoming be fixed, I would have no hesitation in re-rating this five stars.

It’s pretty good

It’s a pretty good app
though it’s slightly slower when I have my miniature size piano connected into it I don’t know if it’s the apps fault or there’s a lot of decoding,

Not to mention but I also have to hit the keys very very hard then of course I may hit it too hard.

Again apart from that it’s pretty good
