There are good sounds and all but you can’t record or loop unless you save pro. And the pro is pretty expensive for just being able to record something. (Pstttt do screen record) ### 2/5 — Aggressive grubbing *2025-09-05, version 3.12.0* I’d like to try this app, but with every button you press, another ad gets thrown up, or you’re asked to rate it five stars to continue. It’s such an ugly desperation that I just don’t have the patience to wade through all the ads to figure out which options might actually allow me to try them. In this climate of clamoring for subscribers (this is a WEEKLY model that is more than any streaming service I know of), you have to feel you can trust the developers before forking over your info and money, and with an intro like this, I’d be very wary of subscribing or even signing up for the “free trial”. Maybe they’re cool, but it’s too hard to tell, through all the aggressive marketing and deceptive design. The screenshots look good, I guess. ### 1/5 — Nul ! *2025-07-15* C’est n’importe quoi et encore plus cher que Koala sampler ! Une escroquerie, rien de moins. Prenez le top, Koala sampler 6€ à vie et certainement pas cette chose **Developer response:** We’re sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy the app. Our goal is to offer a unique experience with features tailored for creativity and ease of use. We understand that pricing and preferences vary, and we appreciate your feedback. If you have any suggestions on how we can improve, feel free to reach out—we’re always listening. ### 3/5 — I may not recommend this app but still good *2025-02-20, version 3.7.0* I did buy this app and by gollee, it was amazing, but just one problem: You need pro to record. What? Kinda weird. So I recommend it when they do update it. ### 3/5 — needs to be able to loop longer *2025-01-02, version 3.7.0* could be really good if i could have longer loops would be 12x better ### 2/5 — Delay *2024-10-28, version 3.6.0* Very bad delay ### 1/5 — Complete trash *2024-10-26, version 3.6.0* The developer claimed to be planning for the feature to input your own sounds 4 years ago and still hasn’t followed through ### 1/5 — Greedy Junk *2024-10-25, version 3.6.0* Doesn’t let you record your samples. Mandatory ads. Wants to charge a monthly fee. F dat. Put your $2.99 a month in the bank and buy a real sampler. ### 1/5 — 😡😤 *2024-09-01, version 3.4.1* Too reliant on subscription no limited freedom outside. ### 5/5 — Its So Goooooooood *2024-07-21, version 3.2.0* Thanks So Much ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Trash😭 *2026-06-24, version 3.22.0* Worst drum machine I’ve used ### 1/5 — Worst drum pad app I’ve used *2026-04-23, version 3.17.1* The fact that you have to pay to use the bare minimum features is crazy, how are you this greedy a company and your app isn’t even mainstream? ### 1/5 — This is not a free app *2026-03-25, version 3.16.0* It should put the price on it upfront. As soon as it opens, the first thing you need to do is sign up for a paid subscription that includes a short free trial then 3.99 a week! ### 1/5 — Just black screen *2026-01-19, version 3.15.0* Not work iphone 12mini ### 1/5 — Something is just wrong… *2025-12-04, version 3.14.0* Whenever I open the app it doesn’t even load and I kept refreshing my phone and restarting my phone and even downloading it over and over and still wouldn’t even load and I didn’t even get to try the app at all maybe it’s just me but not to be rude and all but this app might be the worst beat maker that I have ever tried, even though it’s still not working till this day I have to say 1 star because it wouldn’t load and I see lots of reviews and I see it’s a little bad but sorry if this message is rude m, I’m trying not to be ### 1/5 — ... argh ... ouff ..... *2025-11-30, version 3.14.0* ... hourargh ..... ### 1/5 — not free *2025-10-14, version 3.13.0* put your price upfront ### 1/5 — Schlecht *2025-10-01* Um irgendwas damit anzufangen, muss man 4€ die Woche bezahlen. Von wegen kostenlos. Und ständig kommt auch das pop up um einen dazu zu bewegen, das Abo zu kaufen. Lohnt sich nicht. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback. We understand your concerns. The app is free to download and includes some basic features without a subscription. Full access to all premium packs and an ad-free experience does require a subscription. We take your comments about the pop-ups seriously and are always looking for ways to improve the user experience. We hope you’ll consider giving the app another try. Kind regards, Devnex Support ### 1/5 — Another con *2025-08-29, version 3.12.0* Deleted the app after downloading as they want £4 a week after three days. Just more misleading marketing with these iPhone apps saying it is free ### 1/5 — Lame, cant import your own sounds. *2025-07-15, version 3.11.0* The title is all that I need to say. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — FANTASTIK *2026-08-02, version 3.23.0* Great amplitude of options ### 5/5 — So ell *2026-05-16, version 3.19.0* This is so dope you heard ### 5/5 — Baby Chris *2026-04-12, version 3.17.1* 23 ### 5/5 — Such a powerful tool *2026-02-13, version 3.15.1* It’s amazing to have something like this as you think tips 20 years ago this would’ve been worth thousands and trousers thank you ### 5/5 — Cool app *2025-09-21, version 3.12.0* I’m really enjoying this app ### 5/5 — Josh *2025-09-15, version 3.12.0* Jenn ### 5/5 — Wooow *2025-08-09, version 3.12.0* Buena ### 5/5 — Necessary *2025-02-05, version 3.7.0* Love the App so Far I’ve been looking for something as simple & direct as this the packs are cool too! To add on I feel there should be a way to delete a loop you don’t like after adding instead of having to start all over again. I’m getting more accustomed so maybe I’ll figure out if there already is a way to do so. ### 5/5 — New music produce *2024-11-12, version 3.6.0* NFL music NFL business group Chino ### 5/5 — Cool *2024-08-12, version 3.3.1* Nice --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
