From Chicago to Berlin, the buzz around the take off of Star6 has been really tremendous. The breakthrough app that we collaborated on with musician Jason Forrest has already achieved a top 10 ranking among premium music apps selling in the App Store for $5.99 or more.  Not surprisingly, the press has been all over Star6.

Pitchfork, the popular and influential Chicago-based music site, has a line in their write-up that I love: “Will I look silly tapping this app while using public transportation? Probably, but it’s worth it.” That’s exactly what I did — on the ‘A’ train in NYC!  My colleague Phil, who’s one of the best ruby developers you’ll find anywhere, was pretty psyched when he saw Star6 on Giles Bowkett’s blog. Jason and our team have been delighted to see folks aren’t shy about their praise for Star6. TheHype.FM said, ”We don’t plug many products through TheHype.FM, but we knew you would all love this” and iSmashPhone.com said, “…one of the best GUIs I’ve seen on an iPhone app. If you’re a musician, or just someone who likes playing around with beats and samples, then this app is a must.”

As someone who’s enjoyed working on five continents around the globe, I’ve been especially pleased to see the international interest in Star6 — from NME, the UK’s biggest music website, to Belio Magazine, an awesome design mag based in Madrid, to engadget German.  All that and more, in just the first week after launch!

However, I know I speak for our entire team and Jason when I say the testimonials of Star6 customers mean the most to us.  One of our customers, Spyced, said, “Must say this is the best performance tool for glitching beats and the GUI is topnotch.” Another customer, Keywiz, commented, “This app is a total sonic party.”

To all our customers and 500+ fans on the Star6 Facebook page: Thank you!
