From me
I’ve had a quick look around and the explore section, preset browser and beats selection look so much more useful. They have separated items you own from those you don’t so makes it easier to select things you own.
Probably means they don’t have any intention of going to a version 3 anytime soon as they probably put a fair bit of work into this. Wish they had made the app resizable as it only takes up about 60% of my screen. I’m running 1080p on a 17" laptop but fonts are quite small. They’ve got scaling so you can increase the size a bit, but it’s just like magnifying the whole application so unless your running something really old, the aspect ratio is off. 125% fits on my screen, but 150% cuts off the bottom whilst still having gaps at the side. Very similar to what Postive Grid did with Bias FX 2, but that’s even worse as it’s almost a square. Both are trailing behind other major names.
