Honestly this app is cool because of how easy it is to use and the really lush ambient tones. Incredible. However the record / play button are not good. I try to record something and it doesn’t really play it back precisely at all. Really annoying. But otherwise this is easily the coolest, most lush, synth app i’ve ever used
Second review gone missing

I bought this app when it first came out. Day of. Now they want me to pay for it again. I don’t mind subscription based models, but you should grandfather in the people that supported you when you first bought the app. Now you want me to pay five dollars for one more year of use. I already spent eight dollars on the app. You couldn’t have just added an app purchase you had to go to the Darkside. Not happy.Money grab and basically a waste of eight dollars for an app that *Now wants a yearly fee. This app isn’t that fantastic for that price. I feel I wasted my money and I am not happy.
Developer Response
Thanks for being a day-one supporter it means a lot to me.You should not be losing access to what you originally paid for. Early owners are grandfathered into ownership, and the app actually includes more features now than it did at launch.This sounds like I either didn’t communicate the pricing changes clearly enough (that’s on me), or your ownership status may not have migrated properly. If it’s the migration issue, I’d love to help get it fixed.Please email me at corey@soulyftaudio.com and I’ll help sort it out.
Not as expected
Oddopal
App doesn’t turn off in the background going on 15hrs now . Tone modulation doesn’t work. Gradients are purely visual. No sequencer. Honestly, drop the price until you get a handle on this. For some reason I can’t request a refund, prob not the devs fault. I don’t want to report it but I feel ripped off. Sorry if that’s harsh dude, I know it was a lot of work. The gradients should indicate tone or octave. Fx control should be on screen with the gradient and lockable. I started with 3 stars and just had to settle on 1. If you plan on selling it, fix it first, if it was free or 0.99 until 2.0 that may be a good idea.
Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback and for giving Gradient Synth a try! I totally understand your concerns. There is an option to stop the app from running in the background if you check the settings. If you’re curious about how the colors interact with sound, it’s not just visual – feel free to explore more at manual.gradientsynth.com.As an indie developer, I really appreciate your honesty. I’m always working on improvements, so if there's anything else I can help with or if you have specific ideas on how the gradients should indicate "tone or octave", please let me know!Thanks again for your support and for trying it out!

I have been enjoying opening this app periodically and playing some notes with the very intuitive interface. It make it easy to explore a variety of soothing tones. It really takes advantage of the touch interface.
