Horrible UI changes. Horrible. Why is there a large space in between the Bluetooth button and the scale? Who decided on this stupid change?! Couldn't y'all just extend the osciloscope/sound-menu or whatever it is to clear the space? Gosh...

It's certainly better than other apps I tried. However there are some issues that bother me. The envelope is limited, there isn't any pitch bend and the noise doesn't sound right. It's not generated like on a real NES. This is noticed with the metallic noise, which always has a different timbre on a real NES, as heard in MM2. Several pitches for the noise are also missing. Huh? The latest update has aliasing for some reason. Now it sounds like Nesticle.

The app does what it says except it doesn't seem to want to save the audio files to my device or let me export them to my drive. There's plenty to do but recording and saving audio seem impossible. Once saved the audio won't play and will show that 0 seconds have been recorded. I'll change my rating once this is fixed since the app is really cool but this is frustrating. Thank you for your time.
