The sounds are fine there's no way to add more as things stand, but an in-app purchasing store is on the way, we hear, as are the options to import. Once you've got over the latency hump, the good news is that FL Studio represents one of the better music making experiences that Android has to offer. This is hardly Image-Line's fault, but it is a shame that there's no demo version available so that potential users can test the app on their device before paying £12.95/$19.99 for it.

Image-Line tells us that the latency level varies from device to device - it quoted us a figure of around 70ms for a Google Nexus 4 - but it's clear that there's still an issue here, and you may have to accept that your projects will have to be constructed by drawing notes in rather than playing them live. Using our test device, a Sony Xperia U, recording parts in real-time was pretty much impossible, though better results could be achieved by slowing down the tempo and using the auto quantize option.

We say 'in theory' because, perhaps unsurprisingly, FL Studio Mobile for Android still suffers from that latency problem.

Tracks can be created by using the familiar FL Studio step sequencer, by inputting notes on a piano roll or, in theory, by recording in real-time using the aforementioned onscreen keyboard or drum pads.
