Dream Chimp - https://dreamchimp.app

It's a 3rd party preset editor for Universal Audio UAFX guitar pedals [1]. I'm supporting Dream '65 for now, rolling out support for Lion '68 next week. More pedals will follow when I have some free time.

If you're a guitar nerd and own one of those pedals please check it out!

Oh, it's completely free too!

I’m working on a mobile app called Dream Chimp.

It’s a preset editor for UAFX Dream ‘65 pedal that I decided to build because I was so frustrated with the stock app.

If you’re a Dream ‘65 owner please check it out!

Re:Android Developer Verification on Tuesday March 31, 2026 @01:40AM (#47583156)
Going through hell with Apple Developer too. I didn't have to do much in terms of verification (probably because I created an account as an individual) but app submission is another story: - first time I got rejected for mentioning a name of a third party in my app description. The app description said: DISCLAIMER: not affiliated with xxx

- after fixing the app description I got rejected for using my app name(?!), multiple back and forths with the reviewer got me nowhere, they just copy pasted the same response not addressing my messages at all

- filled the app store review board appeal, it's been 5 days and I've got no response.

At this point I'm seriously considering rewriting the app for MacOS and distributing myself. I can't imagine going through all of this with every app update, it's beyond ridiculous.
