Literally a DAW on your phone

Better than Ableton Note, Better than FL Studio Mobile. Don’t waste your money on them, invest your money here!!! Totally worth
it

Great App!

As a relative beginner, this has been a fantastic app to learn on! It is intuitive, flexible, and straightforward. There’s
also a lot of online videos and a friendly Facebook community where you can learn more and get advice.

It’s SO good!

I love this sampler! I’m running it on an older iPad with an audio output jack (yes, THAT old😂) and it still runs great.

I’m genuinely tempted to build a raspberry pi device just for this app. The dev really nailed it!

The Most Intuitive App For Producing

I am a huge fan of Koala Sampler. After selling my MPC live and downsizing all of my equipment, this has been an amazing addition
to still be able to produce music.

I love the sequencing functionality and the split stems feature is AWEMAZING!!!!

Thanks Koala Sampler!

Simple but powerful….

No complaints, just anticipation of the new updates. If we could get a bit better mastering tools onboard this would be my only
peeve at the moment.

Keeps getting better

Intuitive, powerful, musical, deep, and an incredible amount of fun! Anyone can make music out of literally anything. Whether you
are a seasoned pro or just curious, do yourself a favor and get this app. You won’t regret it.

This is real good

I have a MPC live and a Maschine Plus and a Mac computer just sitting here collecting dust right now.. I have a M1 iPad as well
but I completely enjoy using koala on my iPhone 14.. Simplicity is the key for me.. Im absolutely loving this app right now…

A beatmakers dream.

Koala is by far the best portable sampler. It has a surprising amount of depth for a phone app with the piano roll, stem splitter,
and the new mixer. This app is perfect for those who want an on the go music making experience.

good

every bad review is just someone who doesn't understand how to use anything besides a DAW. i tell every producer to buy this even
if they don't need use it often just because of how easy it is to get into a quick & straightforward workflow.

Needs MIDI out + MIDI Export/Import

This app is great, I especially like the sequencer. It would be nice if this app had a MIDI out feature so I could sequence other
external synth apps. Midi Import and export would be nice too.

Criminally cheap for what you get

Honestly this app is such a steal at five bucks that I'm tempted to donate money directly to the author to pay for what it's
actually worth.

The best music software you can get on mobile. Period.

Super cool app

This sampler is a lot of fun to use. I’ve heard really well done, professional quality music made with it. But it’s also easy
enough to use to be able to just have fun with it.

One of my favorite beat making apps/ device! Trust me, watch a few videos of how to use this and you will be off the the races!
Beginner or elite this app is top notch! I’ve been telling everyone about Koala. Thank you Koala! I’ve deactivated a playlist
of music I make on YouTube.

Shaking my head

I cannot express how much this app has rejuvenated my musical output. I also cannot go a day without using it. Best Music app on
iOS by far. Thank you Marek. From my understanding it's just you doing the updates to this app. Take your time. I'm willing to be
patient for whatever you do to this app.

The app that finally clicked

After dozens of apps, this is the one that really made it easy to create music on my phone/iPad. It’s incredibly intuitive and
strikes that balance between simple and powerful. I promise you won’t regret it.

This is how its done

Yo. I had this app since the beginning and its only gotten better. I can make 2 beats a day just using this at work. All of its
features are amazing and only getting better. The creator needs more recognition for this amazing app. All beat makers should have
this in there phone. Word up!

3 band eq changed the game!!!!!

Best sampler on an iPhone/iPad by far!!!!! Never had something like this in which the developer just keeps improving it. It’s
always seemed like once you buy an app it just remains the same. Just saw the new eq feature and now the app seems untouchable by
any competitors. Thank you so much!

Essential.

When on the go it’s fun to field record in audio. I have created entire drum machines using sounds from the wild. Easy to
transfer my files over to the DAW. It’s like an easier to use sp404 you can have on your phone or iPad. Love it.

Sample based production gold!!!

Amazing design.
Amazing features.
Amazing updates!!

I recommend this to all of my producer & turntablist friends. Turns my iPhone XS into a sp-303 w/ futuristic (Ai stems) options.

Hit that download if you are trying to make beats.

One of my most recommended…

Koala is basically the most intuitive sampler I’ve ever used. I purchased it when it came out and the developer just keeps
adding more. You won’t find anything that occupies your mind and makes you smile for this cheap. Not legally at least. Instabuy.

No comparison!

This is an amazing sampler app. Easy to use; heavy on features and capability. Does amazing things very intuitively. Making beats
is so addictive when using Koala Sampler because of how easy and quickly it is to start an idea from scratch. Bought it day one -
used it daily since.

Koala Keeps crashing

Every time I open koala it loads for a second but then just crashes. I’ve redownloaded it, restarted my device and everything.
I’m on a new generation iPad Air. Any assistance fix or help would be great

I don’t really write reviews on apps but I just had to say that this is probably the best purchase I’ve made music wise.👍

Amazing app for making beats

Koala is one of my favorite music apps simply because of how quickly I can work in it. I can go from a loose idea to a fairly
organized arrangement in no time at all, keep up the great development!!

Sp404 WHO?…..

This is a Champion Of Samplers! I love the ease of use and intuitiveness of this app! Great job Developer! This app allows my
creative river to flow!!!!! Thank You for this. One thing that I would love to see happen is an addition of more choke groups.
Keep on being blessed!

Very Impressive

I actually voluntarily opened the app store to write this review. this app is a masterpiece. Easier to use than most daw samplers
and a very smart use of screen space. can't wait until i can export midi. ;)

Amazing!

I love this app! I’m learning music production and don’t have more gear yet. The only thing is I wish when we label the pad
that we have the option for the label to be visible on the pad. This would help me tremendously as I’m learning.

Donut Lounge loves this sampler

Of all the iOS samplers, Koala is the most user friendly while maintaining the capabilities most desired by seasoned artists.
From novice to pro, Koala is pretty darn good.

Especially love the beta feature to export as an Ableton drum rack. Really makes moving from phone to laptop to Push totally
seamless.

Undisputed Champion of Sampling.

Nobody will be able to tell you anything close to how great this app actually is. You’d be better off buying an iPad or IPhone
specifically for this app, AUM, and Effects than you would be if you were buying the SP404

Simply amazing

Split stems?!?!? C’mon! So much value for little $ in return. Thank you!
IMO this makes pocket operators unnecessary, I could almost say the same thing for opz and op1 if it wasn’t for the effects and
synth engines. But dang!
