I understand that feeling, however file playback is pretty fundamental.

As for PdParty, I have put quite a lot of work into making PdParty run patches as closely as possible to desktop Pd, requiring only a couple specific steps regarding GUIs for the same projects to run on both desktop and iOS. For more advanced GUIs, it's often useful to write the guts of a project in a patch which his then opened with platform-specific wrapper patches containing the GUI.

PdDroidParty cannot make as much of a promise for this regarding GUIs, but it does seem to handle most of the common use cases.

ok, thanks. I will try and see if I can get it to work (I did not want 
to go into it to later discover it was impossible for some technical reason)
