Pros and cons of SampleTank CS app for iPhone and iPad

SampleTank CS app good for

Unable to launch the application in ipad 2 since I updated to ios7...

I cant sat about the professional use of the app, midi compatibility or pro version but for amateur purposes this is probably the best music making app around. The free version comes with lota of samples with means hours and hours of fun! The possibility to use more than four instruments at once would make it nicer but I still recommend it..

Its a free app that delivers a reasonable instruments. Very realistic. Easy to use with iRig PRO: no trouble and real plug and play.

** Warning - if you later purchase the SampleTank upgrade as an "in-app" purchase, then sync with your computer which has the free version, you may lose your upgrade ** Having said that, Im impressed with SampleTank but was expecting the sound quality to be better... A good app for capturing ideas and experimenting with :-)

Awesome app, but optimize the screen size for iPhone/iPod Touch 5G so we get more space with the keyboard.

I think I should get this because I like it,also I would like to learn how to play piano. I enjoy music very much and, one day would like to make a song. And become famous.

Some bad moments

No undo, that s probably the most necessary and useful fonction in such an app. But you forgot that. Incredible. Good sounds, bad sequencer. Oh, and by the way, sampletank still doesn t work in ableton, in case you forgot during all those years.

Downloaded free ipod touch version - screen goes blank when try to open. How to restore ?? Bought the mac version - not intuitive, no manual. Waste of time. Very disappointing !!

The app is almost perfect. But you can not change the tune. There is no aplications to tunning for 440 or 442 hz as In MAC version you can

Where is your ios 8 support update ??? Also the in app store no longer connects to itunes.Annoying commercials even if you buy the full app and sound packs.

BITTER – Crashes regularly!!! After a few times of using it, it just doesnt open for me. Ive had to reinstall it a few times. Ive tried a lot of apps never had one that was this glitchy!!! You think for the money of the full app this type problem just wouldnt exist! Why would I trust upgrading to the full version!! Glad I didnt waste 20 bucks!!! I couldnt trust it in a live setting, which is what I would be needing it for!!! SWEET – Great sounds, exactly what I need, easy to use, nice interface! Its a pretty Amazing app from that perspective, all in all!!! If I was going to pay $20 for the full version though, I would expect some more sound tweaking though and the ability to add my own sounds!!! It would get 5 Stars if it didnt crash!!! I was only going to give it one star, but the only reason Im giving it 2 was how amazing it is on the sweet side!!! v

When the program opens and stays open its a pretty decent app. Havent had the app for more than 24 hours and it wont open majority of the time. Almost thinking spending 90dollars on the iRig Keys was a waste. Fix this please!!!!
