Best sampler of all time! It’s very versatile, and in the Samurai pack there’s Quokka synth so you can design your own sounds. This app is perfect, I’m hopeful for the best of it.

Desperately needs an arranger feature. It’s very easy and intuitive to edit samples and turn them into sequences, but without an arranger there’s nothing you can do with them. The sequences just exist individually, like raw ingredients that can’t be turned into a meal. It’s a baffling omission by an obviously talented team of developers. […]

this is simply amazing. its very intuitive, very simple yet offers limitless possibilities. this is the ultimate pocket sampler. when the world goes offline, I’ll miss this app the most. best value for money imaginable. just one thing: it would be great if it was possible to name the samples for better orientation! maybe its […]

Best app I’ve ever bought! Even with the base purchase you have access to a lot of stuff to make beats just on your phone! I had always dreamed of an app like this!

This is my favorite music production app so far for ios or Android. Can’t wait to see how it gets fleshed out in the future with more updates. A few things I’d love to see is the ability to move a sample to another pad instead of only being able to copy it. I’d love […]

For the first time I ever I feel like I could have use for a tablet. Userface, everything, is very intuitive and easy to use. Koal Sampler is the best there is for mobile music production. I’ve made music for well over 20 years and I often find myself coming to Koala over my desktop […]

New to sampling/ mixing. this app has all I need and more to grow into. The app is well managed and frequently updated. lots of support through the app on youtube. 5 stars and worth every penny!

Lovely little app that is so much more powerful than you’d think. It’s so easy to record stuff on the fly and make a beat out of it. It has its quirks and limitations but that’s what makes it work. Perfect for when you’re sitting outside and inspiration strikes.

I have been using this sampler for a year now and I cannot recommend this enough to people. But I have noticed whenever I connect to a midi via Bluetooth through a third party app (My device cannot read it when I attempt to connect to the device) it works fine for about 5-6 clicks […]

Very excellent app,and lots of tutorials and social media groups for questions,answers and tips. Seems like Marek,the developer,really cares about this App. It’s an awesome bargain,and is very easy to use,but not limited. And the updates keep coming,yay.And there’s now a synth,wow!And a song mode!

I get that this app is still rather new and so far it’s pretty fun to mess with.. I think it would definitely be nice to have a built in synth and it would be great to be able to select multiple pads.. to move, delete, mute, send to a buss, choke, etc. I’d also […]

By far the best 5 dollars I’ve ever spent for myself. Been making beats for almost 15 years and am extremely impressed with how much power this app has. I have an sp404 mk2 and koala is essential to my work flow. I export all my tracks through it, i edit/sequence samples, and I’ve made […]

Woweee! Bought this based on the good reviews. They ain’t lyin’. This app is very impressive. Made a sick track with my mouth in like 5 minutes, didn’t even use a tutorial. I have much experience on maschine, push, and other sampler devices and thought this would not be up to par. I was wrong. […]

This has quickly become my favorite app. One of my favorite ways to fish for samples is to turn on the native screen recorder and find videos on youtube that have clips I want, then use the import video function and crop out the sound you want. Presto! One feature that I think would be […]

It took me YEARS, finding the right DAW and watching youtube tutorials on making BEATS. Never had alot of money to buy equipment but Koala is the first music software that just clicked for me. I can get my ideas out faster and everything is easy to use. It should honestly be more than $4. […]

I have around 30 premium music studios across Android and iOS. Several are $50+. Koala is so intuitive that I keep going straight for it. It’s phenomenal for getting ideas out of your head and archived in some form. It is lacking a few quality of life features. there are workarounds, so it doesn’t lack […]

Love it! I’ve been using production software for 20 years and thought this would be a fun sketch pad for ideas to flesh out later. I’m actually exporting finished loops directly from Koala. Really intuitive and fun. The best sequencer/sampler for mobile devices, hands down. EDIT: After further exploration, I did encounter the bug where […]

absolutely amazing! I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks and it’s really really fun to make music with. you have to get kinda creative with your workflow, but the software is very powerful. the only thing I would like to see is a better pitch shifter, like one with an lfo, or even better, […]

Great sampler. Could have saved myself a lot of money on hardware if I had realized how intuitive and easy beatmaking could be on my phone. Once you figure out your little work flow this is a brilliant piece of kit for getting ideas down if they’re centered around samples. You can screen record anything […]

Just stumbled on this app a couple weeks ago. Gotta say, it’s the best sampler for android you’ll ever find! I paid for the full version and paid for all the added features and if they release more features…..I’ll be paying for those too! It’s so intuitive I didn’t even need a manual. It’s so […]
