I love it..but I can be a bit tedious. And the instruments don't sound real but I can make some great arrangements.

This app is ltr amazing, you can transfer music digitally to hear how it's supposed to sound like or slow it down or speed it up. You can also compose music pr find a piece you like that other people compose. It's literally such an amazing app.

Very scummy. Flat used to be great when I was poor. Tons of instruments, worked wonderfully. It sparked my love for composition. Now, they’ve locked almost everything behind a subscription, features that were once free for everyone. I can afford it now, but I refuse to subscribe. Stripping free users of basic tools instead of adding real pro features shows utter contempt for users. EDIT: "nothing is taken away" Not true. Banjo, Marimba, CHOIR OOHS/AHHs (+the rest) all used to be free. Why lie?
