Thanksfor the app anyhow, it’s amazing. It would also be amazing to have a midi mappable dj style hi/lo pass filter for performance, and perhaps in the future it would be nice to have banks of saved midi loops so they can be chained together to make 16 and 32 song mode style so I can focus on other parts of my arrangement . Perhaps other effects and break change selections could be baked into the sequences as well. I’d happily pay for in app upgrades and I’m sure others would , just like koala does. This could be the most amazing live break composer ever. It already is up there as the best on iOS. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 ### 3/5 — Schade, doch nur Snipes von den Loops auf den Tasten in AuV3 *2025-08-30* Und nicht die einzelnen Instrumente wie Drum,Kick, High Head, Snare etc.. Auch die Sound Qualität kommt mir nicht gerade High Class vor. Als Produzer App eher nicht zu gebrauchen aber als Fun App mehr als okay ### 5/5 — One of my favorite music apps *2025-03-08, version 2.11.3* Endless fun. You need this. ### 5/5 — i love amen breaks and this app is definetly for me *2025-03-01* like literally its has every single beat jungle pop and more this app was made for me 5 stars ### 5/5 — My opinion *2025-02-23, version 2.11.3* This app is alr. I think i might use this app to mess around with the samples and make an OST with these samples that you can make a remix out of with these tools in the app ### 5/5 — Great app but BRING BACK THE REVERSE BUTTON *2025-02-22, version 2.11.3* PLEASE BRING BACK THE REVERSE BUTTON THE APP ISNT THE SAME WITHOUT IT ### 5/5 — it's bugging out i miss this app so much *2025-02-15, version 2.11.3* please fix it i can't open it i reinstalled and everything ### 5/5 — epic *2025-02-12, version 2.11.3* yes ### 5/5 — No longer flawed *2025-02-10, version 2.11.3* Good to have this app as an AU finally. And credit where it’s due: initially the app wouldn’t record in AUM, but by the time the review in which I pointed that out was published, an update had fixed the issue. It is now possible to record in AUM, and to transfer to various modular file players using Audioshare and the Files app. Great work; stars awarded. ### 5/5 — Auv3 issue *2025-02-10* It gets out of sync (use it in Loopy Pro) after i start/stop project, it can easy fix by midi control, but i can’t control anything in this app by midi (only midi notes, and its not what i want) , hope someday i’ll able to do this ### 4/5 — Amen break *2025-02-04* More presets user please 🙏 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — How to use?? *2026-07-13, version 2.11.3* No instructions. ### 1/5 — Was great but stopped working *2026-04-10, version 2.11.3* I enjoyed using this app, however now whenever I open it there is no sound. I can see the app is working but nothing can get the sound to work. ### 1/5 — App immediately stopped playing sound 2 minutes after downloading *2026-04-07, version 2.11.3* What happened ### 1/5 — No good as auv3 *2026-03-06, version 2.11.3* Good when playing standalone but doesn’t save recordings in files to load into garage band Also doesn’t load properly auv3 either In other words, it’s a toy but not a tool for production Deleted and refund on its way ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work as advertised *2026-02-07, version 2.11.3* I’ve reached out to the developers multiple times about the recordings not saving to my device (like they advertised) and was met with a big nothing burger, no solution was offered but my messages were read. I’ve taken a break from using the app hoping that maybe an update would come out and fix the issue…I was wrong do not waste your money. ### 1/5 — Forced portrait *2025-10-15, version 2.11.3* I purchased this app on a landscape locked device — it’s how I use my iPad — and the app forces portrait making it unusable in my setup. ### 1/5 — No worky *2025-06-04, version 2.11.3* Worked for a minute but then just froze up, stopped making noise or anything. Buggie I guess. Bummer ### 1/5 — Не работает на 16pro *2025-05-08* Нет звука в приложении ### 1/5 — ?… *2025-02-01, version 2.11.1* I realise it could well be me misunderstanding the app, but I’ve been using my iPad to produce music for years, and this has beaten me. Currently on an M1 iPad Air and I cannot figure out how this app works when used in a DAW. Its implementation seems utterly arcane to me, and seems to be aimed at those with a deeper technical knowledge, and is therefore useless to the likes of me. It’s certainly not aimed at the musician coming at it with no technical expertise as to how to use such an auv3 app. If that’s you, save your cash. I use over a hundred other auv apps in LogicPro, GarageBand and Cubasis with no issues. A shame as it sounds good in standalone form. ### 1/5 — Just got scammed *2024-09-25, version 2.6.0* Audio doesn’t work. Tried turning everything on and off and it still won’t play the audio. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app but BRING BACK THE REVERSE BUTTON *2026-08-06, version 2.11.3* PLEASE BRING BACK THE REVERSE BUTTON THE APP ISNT THE SAME WITHOUT IT Edit: dude I still miss this button it was so cool loop is cool and all but reveres was awesome can we please get it back one of these days. Please and thank you. ### 5/5 — Neeeeds Link Audio *2026-05-13, version 2.11.3* If ever any app needed Ableton Link Audio… that would perfect ABG. you could use it as the instrument it was always supposed to be. ### 5/5 — Amen Break Generator. *2026-04-13, version 2.11.3* Excellent app👍 ### 5/5 — This is Fun *2026-02-14, version 2.11.3* It’s a machine that works as intended ### 5/5 — The best app *2025-12-05, version 2.11.3* This app reminds me of my youth. I’ve been jamming with it for hours, so much fun. Thanks for the nostalgia bro. ### 5/5 — Amazing ! *2025-09-25, version 2.11.3* I love this app I wish they would add reverse back ### 5/5 — Incredible app *2025-09-22, version 2.11.3* This app is an incredibly hands on way to have some fun with breaks! It provides a workflow very similar to a hardware alternative like an sp404 or akai mpc, but for very cheap and available anywhere you go. The ability to import breaks it great and the recording feature is awesome! As is the app is a solid 8/10, but with a few changes I think it could be an easy 10/10. A few more effects and parameters for effects would be nice. An overdrive/distortion for example, or a reverb or an eq cut would go a long way. Maybe 10 total? Extra adjustment for them would be great as well, such as a basic knob or 2 for each. Along with the extra effects, some extra sounds like gabber kicks or 909 crashes would be great, and just a trigger for one of the 16 steps would be great for them. These combined would make this app something incredible, and I wouldn’t mind paying 10$ if added. Again incredible app and was very useful when I didn’t have hardware. ### 5/5 — Button hitboxes *2025-04-03, version 2.11.3* The app is great but there should be a feature to make the buttons and their hitboxes square, makes it easier for high-speed breakbeats :3 ### 5/5 — Great Game! Just a thought though.. *2025-04-01, version 2.11.3* I love this app and I enjoy playing it very much. But it would be nice if there were some way to load samples or just have a selection of ambient loops to play to. That being said great job! ### 5/5 — Fire *2025-03-22, version 2.11.3* Its crazy how well this is --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
