This app is a ton of fun I enjoy it, The only thing that would make it better is if it could access our files or named folders so we can choose our own recorded sounds. This would allow us to be able to edit and play with our recorded sounds outside the app. Then I would go wild with it if we could! Edit : I'll move to 5 stars, I know this will be added, I will spend weeks playing around with sounds! if you can add a way to select a section in the sound easier I won't complain!

Old device, app doesn't stay open anymore (pixel4a). I understand that back compatibility is an issue while pushing apps to support newer systems but I would love to be able to roll back to the version I first installed and at least worked for me. Any option to be able to do this through different channels? P.S.: found the issue, it crashes when I start it with my Bluetooth headphones connected, no headphones = it just works. Yes, using latest version and same behaviour.

Hi Ángel, thank you for your review. Can you please check if you're using version 1.12.4. I believe we had this problem in the past but I thought it was already fixed. If you're using the latest version we'll open a ticket with this issue so we can investigate what is happening and try to find a fix for it. Bets regards

Frustrating Experience.. Every time I use the app I can browse menus and click buttons as long as I like, BUT when I start to play actual notes using the phones on screen keyboard the app will completely freeze after a few seconds. It becomes totally unresponsive and I can only fix it by backing out of the app and restarting it. It does this EVERY time I use the app. It also affects your other app DRC. Same exact issue in both FRMS and DRC. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S24 running Android 16.
