Developer Description
The ultimate pocket sampler
Koala’s super intuitive interface helps you make a tracks in a flash, there is no brake pedal. You can also resample the output of the app back into the input, through the effects, so the sonic possibilities are endless.
Koala's design focuses totally on making the music making progress instant, keeping you in the flow and keeping it fun, not getting bogged down by pages of parameters and micro-editing.
"Been putting that $4 koala sampler to good use lately. Undeniably great tool that puts some of these expensive beat boxes to shame. A must cop."

Koala Sampler users say on Google Play
As far as beat-making on the go is concerned, definitely the best option. Very intuitive, very fun, great little tool for starting ideas. Only thing missing is a dedicated EQ, at least a three-band one. That being said, that doesn't take away from making this a top-tier app in my opinion. EDIT 27/02/2022: EQ is added, it's game over for everyone. EDIT 06/12/2024: This app has grown so much it's unreal.
great to use takes a little practice as usual but I really enjoy it. still in happy mistakes made. Worth the money for sure.
Phenomenal app but the recent update has left it with a bug, it crashes when you try to go full screen on tablet. Devs please help as it has become unusable now.
Was great and working fine, latest update seems to have raised CPU usage by a crazy amount and causes crackling to the point of unusability (Pixel 9A). I know it's harder to make Koala for Android rather than iOS, but it was fine before :(
app closes within 10 seconds. can't even record a single sample onto a single pad., just keeps crashing. I'm on a Google pixel 9 pro XL. would give 0 stars if possible because the app is completely useless as it stands. UPDATE; refund request denied. have tried uninstalling a reinstalling, sent a bug report. still crashing constantly, no reply. what a waste of $7.
