★★★★★ "Genuine waste of money. There are so many better alternatives, plus it doesn’t even work well. Another point is that this should be free just like it is on computer. You shouldn’t have to pay for everything and it should work like it does on computer." - WolfHaley2007

★★★★★ "I knew I never should’ve updated. I updated the app today April 24 2026 and now all of a sudden I cannot paste musical notes anymore I can only copy them which is ridiculous and useless. Like why would I copy some notes that I won’t be able to paste anywhere. App was great …" - erickkzodjeieo

I knew I never should’ve updated
I updated the app today April 24 2026 and now all of a sudden I cannot paste musical notes anymore I can only copy them which is ridiculous and useless. Like why would I copy some notes that I won’t be able to paste anywhere. App was great before the update. I am iPad a16 running iOS 18.3.2 and do not recommend me to update to iOS 26 because it looks horrendous and I absolutely hate it and find it disgusting.
App won't open
App refuses to open most of the time. When it does open, nothing will load. I'm on the latest version of the app.

The old version was a masterpiece!!!

I LOST EVERYING OUT OF NOWHERE

Needs AUv3 support.
I won’t consider using it again until it has it. Do you understand how far you are behind the competition by not having this simple feature that even an independent, solo developer could easily implement into their very first app?
Give me a refund now I do not care what you say
It worked nothing like how I expected. I have seen at FL studio and it did not work I have wasted $15 this belongs in the garbage can it looks nothing like expected it doesn’t have as much instruments and the UI is way too confusing I think this is just a knock off
don't buy
ts is so bad don't waste your money they won't even refund my shi, waste of money
Don’t Bother
Literally just bought this app and I spent 20 minutes trying to get the sound of pressing the keys come through my airpods, after restarting app, phone and reconnecting the airpods and not finding anything helpful in the settings I gave up. Also I completely understand its a lot to put into a mobile format but when other apps are doing it decently I was hoping FL would be comparable but sadly other apps just blow this out the water. Desktop is great but mobile is a no fly zone. GGs
Save your money unless these features are addressed in later updates.
I love the desktop version and wanted to support with this mobile app however, there is NO auv3 support (this is a MUST in 2026).
Why can't I make manual and precise slices with the slicer? (It should work like the desktop fruity slicer) speaking of slicer;
Samples constantly click and there is no declick feature (which is on the slicer desktop version)
Finally the UI tries to be hidden and simple but it is actually clunky and doesn't make sense. Those terrible hovering bubbles on the sides that actually get in the way of production.
Make these fixes and you get 5 stars!

missing audio files crash entire project, making it completely unusable.
If you accidentally delete an audio file or import a project with one in it that you don’t have, every time you try to open the project it crashes and brings you back to the demo songs.
UI sucks
I hate it so much, you guys have it right on desktop.
App is horrible at times
This app gives me migraines, i load in to find my song files completely deleted, and it keeps happening, and it’s not likely they’ll fix the bug.
Extra
This app doesn’t even have the songs I make sound good bad reviews
Refund needed
Paid for app, app isn’t helpful and it’s only has presets you cannot edit.
you wasted my money
Please make it like pc
Low quality
People on mobile are only grateful bc they don’t know the potential of FL studio on pc. Ya’ll can at least make it higher quality and more intuitive controls.
Consistent Glitches / Lost Media
I’ve had this app for about 5 years, hopping back on to tweak an old beat or trying something new. Every, single, time, I would open this app, there would be another glitch in my beats that needs updated. For example, the kicks won’t work because I have to reinstall the input, or a certain effect doesn’t work anymore. Now, after experiencing that same issue and attempting to troubleshoot it, I decided to delete the app and reinstall it to see if that would fix it. I’ve done it in the past and it worked out so no problem. Except this time, ALL OF MY FILES WERE DELETED.
Every, single beat I’ve made or worked on for the past 5 years is gone. Poof! Countless hours of effort to craft my own sounds, just for it to corrupt in a bad app and get lost somewhere. I tried recovering them, nothing works and they’ve vanished. Now I don’t even want to touch this app or the computer version.
Overall, the experience was fun, but I would recommend investing your time in a different program that’s more stable than this one. Otherwise, everything you’ve worked on may be randomly deleted.
P.S. I purchased half of all the add ons, after my initial purchase of the app, and this happened.
Now, I have a new phone and I figured with newer software and more storage, I might be in luck! NOPE!!!

Ripoff
I paid 15$ for this, but it is way worse than on cpu. Do Not Recommend!!!
OH MY GOD THIS BUG IS DRIVING ME CRAZY PKEASE FUX THIS
WHEN I MAKE A MELODY AND I TRY TO PLAY THE CHANNEL ITS JUST SILENT PLEASE FIX THIS
Genuine waste of money
There are so many better alternatives, plus it doesn’t even work well. Another point is that this should be free just like it is on computer. You shouldn’t have to pay for everything and it should work like it does on computer.
Not cool man
My song just randomly wiped away its save
Screen Reader/accessibility support
Hello, I have a few concerns about accessibility support, I’m a blind producer and I can’t navigate with a screen reader on this app, would you please put out an update ASAP?
Won’t output midi to hardware

All songs lost in data transfer
App is fun and easy to navigate through. But I recently lost all my songs in a data transfer to a new phone, and now all my songs are just blank, 2 second loops. I don’t believe I made an account or had a backup. Everything over 400 mb of memory was wiped clean. Weeks of work gone with the snap of fingers. No point in importing them since the phone only keeps the current save of the song in files, which after the data transfer deleted almost everything, it then proceeded to automatically save it, therefore making it to where I can never get them back. If you have to pay for this app and pay for all the ad-ons then this should be able to handle having all your work transferred to a new device. Not sure if I’ll be using this again, at least on my phone.
Please fix the UI
Please hire someone to manage basic practical principles for GUI design, don’t let it become a disaster. If not, I will take it personally.
How
I havent been able to import a beat and theres no tutorials on your website please help
Huge problem
The app has minimal, but decent variety. I’m able to make okay music on it, even though the audio gets crushed whenever I try to export it anywhere else. But for some reason, as of this morning, out of nowhere every high-effort song I made just got deleted whenever I opened it! Any that took anywhere between three and TENS of hours just deleted in an instant for no reason! Please fix this if you can. I’ve already had three songs deleted.
