Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.
Download on the App StoreAudiobus is the app that makes the rest of your setup better.
OT: App Store gets worse
So, there I am trying to post some nice positive reviews, and one negative for a trial app that did not work st all....and I find that some apps no longer allow reviews! What confidence their developers must have.
Then, armed with a new token, I set off to buy some apps I had previously noted down the names of, because Apple took away the Wish List, only to find that Search will not locate any permutation of one app I was going to buy: Rasta Music Visualizer. Worse still, search comes up with apps that have zero connection to what I was after.
Is this just the UK Store? Did I do something wrong? Or is the new App Store just not working?

Did you mean this:

Search issues here in the U.S. too.
A lot of apps have "recently reset" their reviews. Seems sketchy yo me.
It's a new feature. As a developer you can reset review scores. E.g. after a big overhaul of your apps (in which case older reviews may not make much sense anymore). Apparently - I've been told - it's now also possible to update your apps without losing old reviews. Which would be a major improvement of the App Store mechanisms. I haven't figured out how, but I've heard it from a very reliable source.
I recommend using this to search for apps since the Appstore search too stupid:

They added a option for devs to reset their reviews with each new version. It makes sense because past/broken versions could be dragging down the total and not reflect the current code base. The tradeoff is that the reset means you start over as if it were new. I'm ok with this.
AppStore must be coded by Trump’s IT consultants... it’s that bad.
None of my 5 stars reviews have disappeared, but I can’t find the rest
Ans the wish list... a tremendously bigly scandal
AppStore must have been coded by...
I’ve noticed old reviews disappearing and reappearing a couple of days later on the new store, the apps in question haven’t been updated so can’t be the refresh thing.
I’ve had issues with the search on numerous occasions, and have to find direct links in this and other sites instead.
This iOS11 thing is just one big conspiracy
AppStore search is total fubar, mmmm resetting reviews, now how many developers with reams of 5 star reviews are going to reset reviews?
Is there a way, on the iPhone, to get the list of the apps I've bought, ordered by name?

I don't think so, but the search box at the top of the Purchased list works well for finding things.
General search in the app store sucks now though. I can rarely find anything except by developer name, and even then sometimes not all apps are listed until you find one by the same developer and then go from there to the developer page. This happened with trying to find Axon 2 the other day.
Those bastards keep charging me for apps instead of letting me have them for free!
Seriously, I have also encountered problems in not being allowed to leave reviews. Positive ones!
Dang that's dumb... Axon2 is in the charts right now too.

Ah ha, that is the very fellow. I see my error. Thanks for the link, CracklePot.

Ah, then I’m not entirely mad. I don’t get what Apple are doing, screwing around like this. Positive reviews help sell apps, negative save customers a few quid. Removing the means to do either helps nobody.
I wander if any of that apps you have not been able to leave reviews on are ones that you got as a gift or promo? I believe they do not allow you to review an app that was given to you because that could easily be abused to get a bunch of good reviews.
This Thats it!
I noticed the iTunes Store still has a wish list, funny why they dropped the App Store one. Again conspiracy!
??? Is that considered a cool expression of opinion? I am so tired of all this XXX.
I just hope they will go back to controlling apps from Mac.
iBooks store is also a mess. Comparing with Amazon, it is almost impossible to find books of interest. Nor sure why Apple feels all this is necessary.

No, these were apps that I’d heard about via research or been recommended. I won’t bother listing them all, suffice it to say there were six or seven inexpensive apps that were concerned with streaming or graphics. Three, were impossible to review. The option was just gone,
Nein! We’re all tired of this xxx. But artists sometimes reflect the world they live in. Although Mozart didn’t.
