The music aspect of the program is generally viewed as a fun and accessible tool for beginners interested in creating chiptune or video game-style music, with an easy-to-use interface and pre-made clips. However, it is criticized for its limitations compared to more advanced software, and users caution against its cloud features that may restrict ownership rights. While it can be a great starting point for casual music makers, those seeking serious music production capabilities may find it lacking.
- “This program is really great if you're new to music making and want to branch out from really limiting phone apps.”
- “Incredibly easy-to-use interface full of pre-made, fully-editable music clips, make composition easy for novices.”
- “Great for those wanting an easy way to produce music while paying homage to the 8-bit era!”

- “This is a neat idea, but if you're looking for more than a toy like the old MTV Music Generator games, don't bother wasting the money on it.”
- “If you're at all interested in making music, chiptunes or otherwise, don't waste your time and money on something you'll be guaranteed to drop anyway.”
