Noisli could be more useful for me if it was just an app with different looping background noises that I could mix and balance with a nice interface (the one you have is nice). That is literally all you need to have a very good app.

Some features you could add after that: 1. Save mixes. 2. Sync saved mixes between app/phone/etc. (this would probably require a signup--but I might not use this feature, so don't force people to sign up to use the rest of your app). 3. Add your own sound loops.

Note that these features are all related to the core function of your app: mixing and balancing background noise.

I'm still really confused by why this includes a text editor. Notes, Stickies, TextEdit, pico, nano, and vim came preinstalled on my machine. I added OpenOffice, XCode and Emacs. I also use have used Google Docs, pastebin, txti.es, github gists, and probably more online text editors that I don't remember. There are dozens more text editors that I haven't mentioned, and there are probably hundreds I haven't even heard of. Why would anyone use one that's for no apparent reason bolted onto the side of a background noise app?
