@goodocean hey Eddy, I think, the first thing you'll need is an English description for your application :) I installed it because you posted it here, but I don't know a lot about its functions based on the description in the app store.
I was trying to test it, but it doesn't seem to work on my device (Xiaomi A1). It took about 2-3 seconds for the UI to respond to my gestures, and after I switched to another application, the sounds still kept playing in the background for about a second.
Some kind of onboarding process would be great as well. There are a lot of functions in your app and it's hard to figure out what they do just by the icons.
I think you should also consider using some kind of UI kit for the layout, to make it more consistent and easier to use.
Keep going, and let me know if I can help you with additional tests.

Hey Eddy,
I think it's a good start to start asking for feedback.
A few things I noticed:
-Like Ferenc said, an English description would be really helpful
-Design wise, it doesn't really intrigue me in using it. The boxes, the colours as well as positioning seem quite unorthodox and unstructured. I would definitely suggest going on Dribbble or Pinterest to get some idea.
-The preview of the app, definitely try to keep every screenshot restricted to a single frame, rather than extending over a few. Just easier to visualize imo.
In terms of improving, I personally think you should elaborate a bit on:
- What you'd like to improve? Do you want to make it more intuitive, more song selections, etc?
- Your goal with the app: what do you want to achieve with it?
In essence, by elaborating your goal, it's much easier to pinpoint how/where to improve.
-For example, if your target is kids, then you should make it more intuitive for them in adding different sound effects (with images/icons).
- Or, if your target is amateur/professional musicians, then you should add more tools in adjusting volume, background, etc
Good luck!
