I believe what @NeuM was highlighting was that Kairoos Solutions SL (the app developer) are pretty unscrupulous in the manner that they mimic existing products down to using similar product names and even the logos they use for app icons are very close to a trademark infringement.

They publish the app equivalent of a dodgy Chinese 'Roldex' watch. They infringe the copywrite of someone else's work to the extent that they attempt to fool you into thinking you're getting the real deal, when in fact it's a cheap imitation.

You are correct.

You have to admire China, taking on USA at their own game

I have a tremendous amount of respect for the people of China. I have no respect for their government.

No respect but yet ‘you’ support them via China’s exported goods, end of my point about duplicity.

Honestly, what was the point of that comment?

Quick, related question about app purchases...

Is there any way to stop my Apple ID Balance being slowly whittled away by my monthly iCloud subscription?

I added some App Store credit, bought a few Black Friday bargain apps and kept some credit for future purchases (ie Loopy Pro). But my iCloud is taking £2.49 from the balance each month, and it appears impossible to set the iCloud to come from my credit card, instead of the balance.

This is very irritating. I have to make sure I have a plan to spend the entire gift card amount before redeeming. Otherwise icloud, applecare, etc. end up eating whatever I have in my GC balance.

There are a few. I was just trying to find them. Not the instruments but other elements.

Poppadocrock

Here’s one, but not the one I was trying to find.

There's this one too. Someone posted one of these days

The issue with most of these is the fact we have way more apps than they can have options to randomize

(But is it great? )

Have not had a chance to mess with it yet, but based on my experience so far with MRH810 and BG Ectasy, I'm expecting it to be awesome hehe

FabFilter bundles back on sale? What was the price on Black Friday?

I think it was $89.99 for big bundle usually $119.99

And I believe it was $44.99 for creative bundle, usually $54.99

I know the first one is correct but not sure about creative bundle since I had an app the price always showed discounted for me. Maybe someone else can confirm it.

You got it right, Pops, @dakti confirms here - https://forum.audiob.us/discussion/comment/1020421#Comment_1020421

@telecharge I didn't know there is possible to paste direct link to specific comment on forum, great feature I found that method to find a direct link, but it is not comfortable

1. first have to remember thread name and comment date where is interesting comment (it can be old and hide between others comments)
2. go to user "profile"
3. go to user "comments" section
4. find that comment
5. open that comment
6. copy link from safari tab
7. share link with others

Do you know simplier and faster way to get a direct link?

Click the time stamp under their username at the top of the comment.

Thank you so much @orand , it is light years faster

Wow! I just did the “complete my bundle” for the Fabfilter Creative bundle for only $20!!

(All I had was Timeless 3!)

So I got Saturn 2 and Volcano 3 for 10 bucks a pop!

Thanks @Poppadocrock and everyone who contributes to the heads ups on these sales!

@Edward_Alexander:
Fabfilter Creative bundle on sale is $45. If you purchased Timeless3 at full price $25 then everything is correct: $45 - $25 = $20. I also have to pull the trigger and finally purchase the bundle. I counted on the same price for Fabfilter Pro bundle (-43%) like last year black friday, but I miscalculated Have a nice use the plugins

BTW, I really appreciate your work, thank you. As you may know, I'm a big fan of the thread! Thank you from Montreal! Cheers!

@Poppadocrock, could you please create some type of tip jar/go fund me type of thing so we can all reward you for the incredible work you do?

(Uhm, just make sure we can’t contribute as much as we really want — because then you would be so wealthy you’d have no time to bother posting app deals for us! 😉 )

Lol. yea I’d love to do that but not sure how I would go about setting that up. I’ll have to look into it. Any ideas? Doesn’t go fund me have a timeframe?

Poppadocrock

@Montreal_Music you are quite welcome.

Poppadocrock

Oh yea.

Endless has removed its IAP subscription and is now free for all to use. Just sign up in the app.

@Poppadocrock this article compares the main two sites that seem to be the go-tos for creators who don't have Patreon/GoFundMe/etc type accounts:

I think this is my first post on the forums, and I'd also like to thank you for the work you put into this thread! I'd been struggling with making music on iOS for years and years until it clicked recently (thanks to Xequence 2, AUM and Koala, mostly), and finding this thread right before BF allowed me to stumble into what felt like a nicely curated showcase. Thanks!
