Pros and cons of KORG iKaossilator app for iPhone and iPad

KORG iKaossilator app good for

Please update for iOS 8 and iPhone 6, cannot click red blue yellow or green pattern anymore. Mistake in the display of the app. Thx! Good app!
Missing grid pad notes, volumes mixer and undo tool for the reach the next level!
Very fine app, but I hope you can add an optional grid to the pad or a indication of which note is playing. Currently its too much hit or miss.
Fullscreen mode of the pad with grid lines of the notes like in figure would help to hit the right notes on the small screen of an iphone. Effects like loop, gate, vinyl scratch and stop, lp hp and vowel filters, delay, phaser and flanger assignable to the x/y axes espacially for own samples would make this good app even better;-)
This is one of the best apps on the planet. Using it since it came out. ...but Please add more soundbanks Pleeeeeeaaaaaaaaasssssseeeee Pleeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssssssssseeeeeeeee Add more soundbanks Add more soundbanks Add more soundbanks Add more soundbanks Add more soundbanks ... and the ability to mix would make it perfect and unbeatable to the other apps around.
Im up to my neck in awesome with this app - I was a little skeptical in the beginning. Once you get started its additive - this is angry birds for music nerds. Its incredibly easy to use the interface is very simple and straight forward. Ive tried all the best music apps(Beatmaker1&2, nano studio, moog flitatron, rebirth and argon synth) and was never compelled to write a review but this time I had to - this app is too much fun. I cant wait to try it on an iPad during a live performance. If you could make this app better all you would have to do is make it so you could export your mix to mp3 or wav and import your own sounds - then it would be hyper awesome.

Some bad moments

Whats the point of importing a recorded mix to the soundlist if the loops are limited to measures of 64 steps??? Are there any musicians working for KORG??? So in the end my update request would more be "Why not conceive a Pro version of this app ?"
Where is the gate arpeggiator from the real yellow plastic Kaossilator??? App Figure from propellerhead hat that feature in version 1.0 for just €0.79. Why can I not use my own samples? Why is there no MIDI in support via apple camera kit? So Im looking forward for some great updates...
You cant upload or import your own sounds and loops. It seems they have no intention of enabling this feature.
Please update with new sounds and ability to turn down individual sounds
Spent money on this app and loved it until the new iPhone 6 doesnt seem to fit the screen right and is missing some things please update soon!
Iphone 5!! Bigger screen!! Iphone 5!! Bigger screen!! Iphone 5!! Bigger screen!! Iphone 5!! Bigger screen!! Iphone 5!! Bigger screen!! Add another sound bank!!!!!!
