Patented! Wow!
The tech for this app was patented ... In 1995. And guess what! The patent expired today, the release day for the app. It is not even a very good implementation of the tech. Pitch is vaguely related to luminosity. Color seems to be related to instrument somehow, but everything is crammed into preset tempos and scales, which are not related to image at all, throwing out any discernible connection between the sound and the image. There are many many iOS windows MacOs linux apps that do this better, many for free. Save your buck! Try virtualANS for a decent version of what this says on the tin.
Entertaining!!
Very fun and entertaining I love the creative possibilities!! 👍👍👍
Over-rated.
I got excited when I saw all of the 5 star reviews, but I'm starting to think they are all paid/fake reviews. Not impressed. Uninstalling within first 10 minutes of use.
