5/5Great Software. Hoping for an iPad version
I’ve been following this program since its start and I’m still amazed how far it’s come. If trackers aren’t your thing or you’re just more comfortable with a piano roll, grab a copy if you want to make NES Chiptunes. I’m hopeful that with the iOS version we will eventually see a version optimized for a bigger iPad screen, but I’m already happy to see it on mobile.

5/5Great Mobile Version
FamiStudio is a fairly complicated desktop app, and this mobile version does an incredible job of making the features accessible on mobile. You don’t feel like you’re working with one hand tied behind your back. Fantastic job!

5/5Amazing app for making music for the NES
I love all the export options in this app like, audio, video, and even ROM export. The controls will take some getting used to coming from the desktop version of the app, but this is a pretty good mobile port. Overall, amazing app!

5/5Absolutely bitcrushed my expectations!
I personally love this app. Not only is it easy for beginners, but the amount of extensions like VRC6 and SS5B make it very large in content. I am challenging myself to recreate all of the undertale ost with VRC6. Might even learn NESmaker and add this to the project! Absolutely BleuBleu my mind! 😩🙏

5/5I bought this so you could afford an iPad
Listen, like, how many blood sacrifices we talking here. Goats? Children? Royalty? I’m all ears I want an iPad version, I NEED an iPad version. Please put this purchase in a little fund for that thank you.
