Pros and cons of Core Synth Free app for iPhone and iPad

Core Synth Free app good for

This app is pretty cool! Its fun to be able to get it for free too! Try it out, its fun :)

You can make some cool stuff with stuff with this app. Maybe a recording feature with multiple tracks? If that was in the full version Id upgrade.

The app. Is lil more then I expected on which u can turn the dials up or down or add and decrease the frequency tone for the synthetic sound . But couldnt put it back to its original sound .

Some bad moments

I watched a little ad banner float through the app while i tried to test it. Seems as though unless you buy the real deal it doesnt do much other than let you click a few keys on the keyboard. *shrug*

I have my iphone at max vol but no sound. I dont know if they expect me to pay for it to make sound but I aint buying anything till I know how it sounds. Too bad too cause this looked kinda neat.

The interface looks really polished and the app performs well. Had fun hammering out some simple melodies and experimenting with the oscillators

Will be handy for trying out ideas for melodies etc. Interface is simple, intuitive. Might even check out the full version...

This is actually a pretty cool synth what would make It better was if you added drum pads. But its coll

Lots of buttons and keys and its just really cool get it know!!!! U will like it I do LOL
