I’m thirteen and I LOVE this. It’s super easy to use and i had figured out how to use it (no help!) within about ten minutes. I love to try to recreate songs. The only thing i don’t like about it is its a little harder to use on an IPhone (which they can’t do much about) especially with the piano. Playing notes are fine, but i would suggest playing on an actual piano and recording it if you want to play chords. So fun! I’m thirteen and I LOVE this.

I’ve used this to make two of my ringtones but the first time it did not take two hours to download. Tell me why it’s taking me two hours to download it right now. I deleted it off my phone the first time because I wasn’t gonna use it but I didn’t know I was gonna make another ringtone, but clearly I needed to make another ringtone and it’s taking two hours just for this app to download.
