I've been using something similar on iOS called Noisli and I'm addicted. If I had Android I'd totally download it.

Out of curiosity, how is working with the audio APIs on Android?

The audio APIs themselves are mostly OK. As always, the big problem on Android is fragmentation. I tested on as many devices I could get access to, but have discovered since launch that there are crippling performance problems on the Nexus 5 and a few other modern, popular devices. I've had to block downloads to those device and am scrambling to work out what the problem is. I've never developed for iOS, but I am extremely envious of the homogeneous hardware platform.

For the record, the issue was this:

and I was able to find a workaround and re-enable support for the affected devices
