Hokusai Audio Editor

Description of App

from the app page from the app store:
"Beautiful clutter-free interface" — TouchProducer.com

"Hokusai will convince you that audio was meant to be edited with a touch screen — it's just so natural within this app that you’ll find yourself consistently coming back to it." — iOS Music And You

Hokusai is a multitrack audio editor for iPhone or iPad. Record or import a track, and make it sound the way you want it to: not just trimming the ends, but full cut, copy, paste and delete, and a suite of filters and special effects available.

Edit many tracks side-by-side, mix them together, and export to wave or mp4 format — then transfer them to your computer via USB or Dropbox, or send them to another app on your device.

Accessibility Comments

In version: 1.0.8, Accessibility features have been greatly enhanced: controls have been modified to read correctly. An accessible audio selection method/interface has been added. Voiceover does not read the music library pannel, this has been found to be an Apple pannel accessibility issue rather than an in-app issue. All other parts of the app interface read, and interact correctly, with Voiceover

VoiceOver Performance

VoiceOver reads most page elements.

Button Labelling

All buttons are clearly labelled.

Usability

The app is fully accessible with VoiceOver and is easy to navigate and use.

#1 Surprised.

I'm surprised this app is free, for all it does.
I haven't checked it out yet because I haven't felt the need too, but I probably will in the future if it's free.
