Hopes Completely Dashed... [Although, Regained Over Time]
2016.11.15 - dang.. i REALLY wanted to like this app and to have reasons to use it. [...] unfortunately, the paste function seems to be incredibly confusing, and i cant move a section of waveform from one place to another- i can only dump the segment onto another track, in order to be mixed down with the rest of your audio file. secondly, the waveform view glitches out a LOT, completely disappearing when i zoom after a few minutes of editing, and i have to restart the app [...] the other features i bothered to check seemed to pretty much be in order (library sharing, exporting audio, etc.) [... it] really isnt easy finding decent free audio editing apps for iOS, and this one seemed like a winner at first glance.. i suppose maybe i saved some other users time, at least. life is hard enough, man..
[EDIT 2016.12.01 - upon further use, ive seen a significant drop in how often the wave preview glitches out. more precise and complicated edit options and effects are limited in the free version but have proven very useful, and the import/export functionalities are super convenient. i decided i needed to come give this app more of a fair review after getting to know the program, and with newly clear head and conscience, will definitely recommend this app if/when the situation arises.]
