I have no idea how to contact support

I don’t know who to contact but I own this app and it’s already on my phone? Yet when I come to the AppStore it’s telling to me download it as if I don’t. When I do, I then have 2 apps, one with all my music, and then I guess this version which has ads and says I never made any purchases when I have YEARS ago. Also when I try to copy and paste my work it doesn’t sound the same at all in the new app and actually sounds off. They got rid of G under G# and replaced it with F# and now it’s spaced at 5 beats per box vs 4. Overall very frustrating

What The #%*??

I have been a user of the OG Beatwave since it’s initial release way back in 2011. I purchased all the content available. I purchased a new iPad and when I reinstalled BW I can not restore anything? It seems to be trying to force me into repurchasing this new version that is exactly the same app. I was unable to install any of my purchases from within this version either. Seriously? I have been a part of the iOS music making community since it’s beginning and I have never hated on any developer. The OG app prompted me to contact support which I’ve been try to do with zero success as it looks as if they are purposely making it super difficult to get ahold of? I’m really frustrated. I spent money that I worked for on an app that I’m unable to use at my own expense so this new Beatwave team can create a subscription model for them to make money? So unethical and I feel like I’ve just been robbed. I’m taking this personally. The forums that I have been and am active on the daily in and since 2010 are gonna hear about all this. I’m super upset and it’s not about the money it’s the principle of it. Clearly you guys have non. How will you fix this for me personally? Your subscription is more for a week than the very first subscription I signed up for and is a full blown pro DAW. We all know what I’m talking about. Really a sad deal. You new owners of Beatwave should be ashamed of yourselves. Fix this crap man.

Definitely needs more improvement

Heatwave is horrible resd some of these comments and understand why but this is my side. It takes such a long time to load and every 20 seconds it keeps kicking me out which is so annoying also it is more of designs on the pad than actual music. It is like they spent 2 days making this app I would definitely not recommend this to anyone even isf they are an absolute beginner because this app dosen't help you compose music at all so dont download this app at all it really needs some improvement.

Downhill

Had this app for years and it used to be great, one time purchases for additional instruments, no ads, etc. Recently however the app has switched to an annual payment for everything you already paid for, with the option to restore purchases excluding all those one time payments. Not to mention the app frequently crashes when offline (probably from trying to load ads) which means all data is unsaved. What was once an amazing app has severely gone downhill

Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry you don't like our way of monetizing the app. Unfortunately, we need to monetize it so we can keep developing it and making it good for our community. We hope you understand our position and keep using beatwave later :( Sincerely, Paul

Good app but..

Ok the app is cool but it’s been shutting down A LOT and I’ve lost several projects . Also during recording it lags often leaving unpleasant sounds . Like if a cd or record skips. Hopefully someone understands this comparison. Yes I’m cd old 😂. The other issue is it could use more sounds, like actual guitar sounds . I’ve found some that come close but none in that grunge - metal sounds I love. My last complaint: the community page is neat but you can’t comment on see who likes your stuff. Also seeing the instruments others used is cool but they can see your whole project and take it . So there’s that. Ok but it’s still fun, I love seeing others works for inspiration (not to steal) and anyone can make really cool sounds . So that is awesome!
