Koala Sampler for Negative User Reviews

✓ I want to give zero stars for the dishonestyAs you charging other 3.99 to have a Piano roll with velocity function ... there is no other way to use velocity in this app which is pointless ...and im not going to buy other stuff from you.Miss controllerismVersion: 1.4081

✓ Easy to use, save doesn’t workEnjoyed using this, nice and easy record, edit and arrange interface so giving it 3 stars for that. But after spending a bit of time putting together something that I liked and then saving it, the next time I opened the app it was gone - so pretty annoying and I wouldn’t bother using it again unless this was fixed. I have retested it, and it shows the file as saved while you are in the app, but close it and reopen and it’s gone. If the developer fixed this I’d give it 5 stars..Random Player 1123581321Version: 1.374

✓ Quite good but…I use this app for doing one shot samples which is ok for the most part. However the effects only work on the perform tab and only as part of a sequence..AdeevisionVersion: 1.4081

✓ Like a mini sp-404This is a very flexible app that allows you to chop samples and make songs. The controls are easy to learn. This would be a 5 star app if they improved the effects section. There isn’t really much ability to EQ the sounds so that’s a limitation. Recently the app has deleted four songs that were saved. The song name is saved but all the individual sounds deleted themselves. The app has also crashed quite a bit. However the app is less than $10. It lets you do way more than you’d expect. A positive thing is this app helped me learn how to sample, chop breaks, assemble my own breaks, make fun little songs. I’ve taught myself a lot with the help of this app and it’s increased my want to make music. I’m now saving up to buy an SP-404 so I can continue doing what I did with the app but with the real thing. This app is worth the money but not if you plan on making anything you want to save because this app might accidentally delete your saved progress.Lair-E the cable dudeVersion: 1.4038

✓ Tried very hard with this appI’ve had koala and it worked amazingly for a long time. It chopped and meshed samples perfectly and I loved the intuitiveness of it all. Easily the best feature is the capability of using recorded videos from your camera roll to use as samples as well. Sadly, this app has been crashing like crazy. When I get a notification regarding full iCloud storage, or even trying to open a wav file using the app (for some reason it defaulted to koala) it would crash and clear my samples. Just today I was switching apps and upon switching everything was gone. Devs should really try to fix these random crashes, because even with updates the issue persists. Would have gotten a 5 if it was capable of storage for longer than a few days..TGE CAT SOOSOZVersion: 1.4001

✓ Great app however one tiny feature requestThe latest update has put it in a different league just one small request though. As we now have the sequencer is there any way to tie all of them together to create a song.IssieidVersion: 1.4022

✓ The hell happened???This app was so great, I made a whole 8 song tape on it and it worked fine until the latest update... loading takes forever, always crashes, sometimes doesn’t save, even if I save it manually, crashes if I turn off my phone for a second, deletes samples and loops for no reason... This app was so good until this update... if you patch these bugs, this will be a 4, maybe a 5 for me..Exy dayVersion: 1.3795

✓ Great but unstableI owned a Roland SP-404SX for triggering samples but had to sell it and it was too bulky for me. This app is very similar to it and I was initially happy with it for my purposes, once I’d mapped my controller to the app (instead of the other way round with MIDI learn not a feature) it worked well... until I used it as an IAA channel in AUM. I wanted to use it for my weekly radio show with Djay Pro and AUFX:Push for auto-ducking. It worked for a little while but if I swiped it offscreen on iPadOS it would randomly crash. Not so good for live radio, especially with a second or so of digital crackling when reloading Koala’s projects! I play chill out music so not good for the listener and I now have to change back to an inferior setup :( Would have been 4 stars (5 with MIDI learn on all controls) but unreliable in a live situation so pretty useless in its present incarnation. Hope this is useful developer and anyone wanting to get this..PitchblenderVersion: 1.370

✓ Hit and miss, random MIDILots to love, but I can’t get on with MIDI mapping at all - when I select ‘stop mapping’, it just loses what I’ve set. Nothing in the documentation to do this either. Even when I get pads to respond to AUM’s keyboard, or another MIDI generator for example, next time I try it’s completely lost the setting, and I can only trigger one pad with the keyboard chromatically. Really, really, really frustrating..FamilychoiceVersion: 1.4081

✓ It’s good but it’s not quite CarlingEven after upgrading to Samurai, the limitations become evident. The next obvious changes for me, would be an improvement in the ability to play your patterns. Chaining patterns & ‘pattern change snap’ would greatly improve the playability. The effects section is very limited. Effects on mic recording but not imported audio? Master only effects? Predetermined controls with only wet/dry controls? In order to utilise these creative controls, requires a lot of re-sampling, which completely breaks creative flow. I was hoping for an iPhone successor to Werkbench but found something less thought out..Graemejackson01Version: 1.4035
