✓ Best music app, plenty of bugs 😪Last time I used this, I was dealing with some pretty major bugs: mainly inconsistency and unreliability in recording loops, tempo syncing delay issues, and Bpm mysteriously changing after saving. Otherwise an elegant and deep musical tool. I was very eager to check back in on the app, but since upgrading my phone the interface/menus are completely broken….Version: 2.6.9
✓ How do you work this stupid appTitle says it all.Version: 0
✓ No quantize?!I love this thing and I have pretty good rhythm but it would be nice to tighten stuff up even more with the ability to quantize each loop. Pleeeeeeeease add this in an update.Version: 2.6.6
✓ Not bad. Kinda koolThere's no landscape mode. WT£ Rookies..Version: 2.0
✓ Cool appJust one thing I'm Greek and the Bouzouki does not sound like that it sounds a bit dull should be more of a high pitch sound Where Is The Bouzouki I Bought This For That Reason..Version: 0
✓ Great fun, terrible looperAs a simple way to play interesting instruments, this is a great app. As a looper, it is terrible. The greatest sin a looper can have is a delay between when you press “finish” and when the recording stops. This has somewhere between a quarter to a full-second delay that makes the looper nearly useless. It’s sad too. I had to drop my rating from 5 to 2..Version: 2.6
✓ Beautiful sounds, but...Whenever I lay a new track down, it's WAY out of sync with the others! Is there any way to set all tracks back to 'zero' for overdub/replay? I can't seem to find a counter reset anywhere. The functionality is very impressive otherwise. Just needs this sync issue fixed and it'll be golden!.Version: 1.3.2
✓ No Sound!!!It was working great for me, but now it doesn't make any sounds at all in the app. The update really kills the app, hope they update soon so I can get back to making music. I only wish I saw the warning they had on the info page of the app....Version: 0
✓ StaticI love this app. When making loops now the recorded instrument plays back all staticky. Could someone please help?.Version: 2.6.9
✓ Where are the ‘black notes’?Enjoying the app and looking forward to using it in a band setting, but I just can’t figure out why there’s no option for the grid to be laid out like a piano keyboard with ‘white’ notes and ‘black’ notes, especially when using a chromatic scale. The shaded tonic, dominant and subdominant (do you know how long it took me to figure out why they were shaded?!?) make sense for some situations, but when I need to quickly move between A3 and A4, the easiest way for me to recognise the notes is always going to be on a piano keyboard (hint: the shaded ‘black’ keys could still run the full length of the grid, they don’t need to be shorter). Yes, I could connect to a midi keyboard, but I actually need the x-axis controls offered on the iPad screen for volume and velocity. I’m also struggling with shifting between octaves or adjusting the span when I have the screen split to multiple instruments - I can only move one instrument at a time, but I need them both to move. I can’t seem to link/lock them so they move together. To add to my frustration, the only way I seem to be able to ~select~ the other instrument to be able to adjust it’s span and octave seems to be to tap a note in that instrument, which PLAYS A SOUND. If I’m trying to adjust, you can bet your boots I don’t want to be making sound. So yeah, great app, but could use just a couple more tweaks to make it really useful and user friendly..Version: 2.6.9
✓ Updated version doesn’t workNo functionality since I updated the app today!.Version: 2.6.2
✓ App keeps muting instrument if you switch apps or open helpUnusable currently, especially if you compose in more than one app. Not worth the money..Version: 2.6.3
✓ Latest version 2.6.3 has big background battery drain issuePower saver was on, and background audio was on. I put my iPad into airplane mode overnight. Woke up the next morning and the battery had gone from 90 something percent to 62%, with 94% usage coming from ThumbJam. I turned off background audio, and charged my iPad. iPad was again in airplane mode overnight. This morning, battery status shows ThumbJam was active in background for 20.4 hours in the last 24..Version: 2.6.3
✓ No soundWas a great app need fix now.Version: 0
✓ Pretty goodI've found this app to be both excellent and frustrating in equal measure. The sound samples are great, as realistic as many expensive sound stations or keyboards I've used. I do find the interface a bit confusing sometimes though. And also had a couple of issues exporting stuff but I think this was highlighted with a note by the developers when the new update hit (losing of data if not selected). Another thing I'd like to see addressed is the addition of a conventional keyboard layout as an option. 1 octave would be fine although it could be expanded via the "span" button to more. I'm a semi-pro musician and whilst I understand much about different scales and modes etc., I would kill the option to have a "proper keyboard" to use. Otherwise I find I'm constantly customising scales in order to remove any notes I don't want. And an easier to navigate UI would be good. Can't fault the sampling though and I have made some good sounding stuff with this so no HUGE complaints from me. Also, the recording through a mic facility where you hum or play another instrument is not entirely reliable. It seems to hit the correct notes (if you've picked the correct scale), but quite often even if there is no noise being generated and I'm in a quiet environment, there is a high note coming from which makes it fairly unusable. I've tried altering the three settings but doesn't really help. Good overall though..Version: 2.5.2
✓ I regret buying it. Sounds are not great.I wish I had watched more videos of this instead of reading comments by people saying it had good sounds. It has some ok sounds but most are pointless. I hate this rip off culture where we can’t have demos or refunds on inadequate software..Version: 2.6.7
✓ Really? It's just ok.This is fine for creating instant nice sounding music, but really the editing options are limited, and the sounds aren't good enough (with the exception of the strings) to be used professionally. It's nice to use as a controller, but then it doesn't connect that well to other apps, and I have to use midi bridge to get it to communicate properly with some, with others it won't communicate at all. If the sounds were better, or there was more editing options, or you could use it to play microtones (for which the interface is perfect), it would be a lot better..Version: 2.2
✓ UmWhere is the sound. please hurry and update.Version: 0
✓ Astonishingly badWhere to even start? You cannot edit loops, you cannot quantise , the buttons are minuscule, you cannot pause individual loops, there are no chord pads, control surfaces are resized when you exit/re-enter the app, the metronome may also change, you cannot set global prefs for all instruments, .... this is but a brief summary of the myriad flaws. On the plus side it makes a half-decent controller. Now all I need is a looping app..Version: 2.6.3
✓ Yup, OS4 no goI agree, great app but crashes with the current OS4 update even after Thumbjam version 1.2 update. Will re rate when functional..Version: 0
