It’s a wonderful app, and makes me feel much less weird about Music Memos being discontinued. Good, simple and easy to use. The things that pop out though is that the instrument detection seems iffy. I’m taking notes with an acoustic guitar and it hasn’t understood that’s what I’m playing. Which makes me think that I’d much rather just set it myself if I could. Also, the things that jump out are that I wish I could trim recordings, and also it’d be nice to be able to organize clips into groups so if you had a number of different ideas for one project you could have a group to just hear/see all those, for instance. Other than that I think it’s quite nice so far.

I’ve seen in the previous review the developers are working on adding a trim feature, grouping or folders, and better instrument detection. This is currently a pretty basic recording app but after the new updates it could be a five star app. I do like that you can easily add markers to your recordings. Ideally I would love to be able to take a long recording and break it into multiple shorter separate clips. Sometimes I want to record an entire session and then divide it into parts.

So far I’m really liking this — it replicates most of what Music Memos did well (simple recording, logical organization) and adds some nice new features, within a very clean UI. I wouldn’t mind a metronome and maybe the ability to play back an existing track while recording (through earbuds/headphones), though at some point it would start to bleed into GarageBand territory. I can see getting plenty of use out of this for getting down ideas quickly.
