Meh apps of ipad
List the top apps on your meh list. Those overhyped apps that usually would never get recognition as even a free javascript app but are heralded on this forum as a cure-all.
Format being:
Name of app
Level of meh (10 being complete meh, factor in cost vs fun here as well)
Time it took from time of purchase to discover this (in minutes)
I will start.

I don’t think this is a good idea. App developers put a lot of work into apps, and it’s inevitable that there will be people who the apps don’t appeal to.
I’m sure that no developer wants to see their app on a list like this. Something more positive like suggestions for improvements for apps would be a better way to communicate dissatisfaction to developers.
Quick quick! Everybody look! It’s trying to get attention again!
🤡
It’s no use, they don’t care. They’re just here to troll.
Yawn

+1.
Yeah, Samplr’s so pathetic that Apple hired the developer and turned it into a Logic Pro instrument. eyeroll
Perfect response elk.
😂😂😂
Uh oh, here we go. Left right left right left right....
You forgot up up down down, what you said, B A.
I guess when someone is banned, they’re no longer on your ignore list?
Not sure, I suppose not. He was seemingly on everyone’s ignore list so I guess we’ll find out lol
My favourite meh apps ...

But not Samplr. One of the very best iPad apps out there.
Maybe this thread should be closed. It's a bit...meh.
Would you mind adding how many minutes it took you to realize this?
You know, it's interesting how intolerant this community is about negativity. Don't get me wrong, I love it, and you don't have to look far if you WANT to find negative communities, but there's certainly no subtlety here that it's not welcome. 😂
True, but it depends on the type of negativity.
This is a forum run by a developer, so it is not a good look to have threads here that mindlessly slag off other developers.
But there's no problem with respectful discussions about technical problems with apps, how an app might be better with extra features, how app X is better for a task then app Y, etc. There's lots of that type of discussion on the forum.
Negativity? This thread was flat-out trolling.
Yeah, I guess I didn't see it as trolling personally. Still Not a kind of question I really want to engage with because I prefer more constructive criticism, but if people didn't take the answers personally then it's just opinion.
Regardless, I enjoy watching this forum do its thing. 👏🏽
🙌🏽💕
If you check the rest of his input on the forum you wouldn’t be in doubt about the trolling.
As others said, none of are strangers to critiquing things here, but the guy was a very abrasive and often aggressive troll. I’ve had lots of productive conversations about issues with apps and developers here (including today). But this was just….something else entirely lol
This is the longest thread I’ve read about not answering the thread.
As pointed out, there's a difference between constructive criticism versus simply listing apps one personally doesn't like. It's also fine to have an opinion of an app, but it's best to present it in a mature fashion and explain why the app doesn't gel with you. The OP clearly wasn't interested in taking a "high road" approach. The below three paragraphs give a good idea of how to present one's opinion and experience, in my own opinion of course lol.
For instance, I found N-Track Studio to be a pretty "meh" app. This is my personal experience and not objective fact. Why did I find it to be "meh"? When I tried to render audio with it, it rendered the audio with audible pops and clicks (unwanted ones that is). Left a bad first impression on me. The issues are probably fixed by now.
I used to find Logic Pro to be a "meh" app. I didn't understand its workflow (which is a "me" issue), some plugins would crash in it (needed updated code and whatnot), and I'd constantly hit the wrong back arrow before they changed the back-arrow's colour. Now I use Logic Pro to record my OP-1 Field and to use its AI Mastering Assistant. ($5/month for unlimited top-quality mastering that seems to magically fix any minor issues in my mix I may or may not hear, rather than paying a per-track fee to someone with golden ears who can fix any minor issues.)
I used to find FLSM 3 and FLSM 4 as a "meh" app. I simply didn't understand its interface, didn't care for the lack of AUv3 support, and I found myself moving my arms around too much over my iPad Pro's screen. Then in December 2022, I challenged myself to create an EP on my iPhone in FLSM. I came to find out just how robust of an app it truly is.
Sometimes I find an app that I just don't gel with and consider "meh" but later find out it's the "hidden gem" on my iPhone/iPad. Very rarely do I think an app is truly "meh", and even rarer is me requesting a refund for an app. N-Track Studio is probably the only music app I got a refund for.
Of course the overused "your mileage may vary" catchphrase applies here.
Be well, everyone.
Hey, I'm all for negativity. About 20 years ago, on a much beloved private forum, I felt that I had to deliberately undermine its facade of civility and lose my shit at some very polite people, because their apparent niceness was hiding some really pernicious power play bullshit. Despite it being one of the best online communities I'd participated in, the hypocrisy and double standards being enacted were breathtaking. I broke friendships that I still miss, and I'm not the same person I was then, but I still stand by my actions, which many considered trolling.
But meanwhile, there might be some social norms around negativity here that might possibly head in that direction in some wacky dystopian future, but my lord, we are nowhere near such a scenario.
First, there's far less at stake (for Christ's sake, it's iOS music!), but also, the recent wave of resentful axe-grinding (from people who curiously all seem to have numbers for names) doesn't appear to be informed by any real concern with freedom or the just exercise of power. It might sometimes cloak itself in such rhetoric, but instead seems to be about either bringing leaky personal baggage to school (i.e. "the kid has problems at home"), or the metastisation of consumer entitlement to a really bizarre and ugly degree.
Any pretense at nonconformist heroism here is just that. You have to shrug.
I don't think the thread should have resulted in banning. Ignoring absolutely, but banning? That just made them a martyr in the eyes of the like-minded. I already had them on my ignore list as a warning to myself not to engage. Even then it was SO HARD not to jump in here. 😂
I don't feel sorry for them at all and will not miss them one bit though. At least until they make a new account. 😉
One instance maybe not but they had a history of acting that way since they made their account. And idk what the mods are to do. Just let it happen and keep happening over and over? lol
I mean when someone goes against most of the forum rules on the front page that Michael implemented, if they don’t get banned then we might as well take away all forum rules and just let things happen. Or if they’re gonna allow people like that to carry on let us all know so we can delete our accounts instead
