堀さん

あまり良い所が見つかりません。AUで使用出来るくらい。音は古いし、課金パックを買わないと音源が少ない。データ量も無駄に大きい。テクノなどで使うには物足りないし、かといって生楽器が強いというわけでも無い。発売当時は高品質だったのかもしれないが、、、。

Breaking

I liked it. Past tense. Now none of my purchases will download and I can’t buy anything at all. Neat app but it’s way too old at this point and breaking down.

The worst user library file system ever

This is truly a great app but......I loaded a pack from audio copy didn't think they would load all the sounds individually thought it would load them in folders nope. Now I got 200 files I need to move to a folder I create cool no biggie but then there's no drag and drop, no select all no nothing. So then I create new folders had to name them like audio copy (arrab muzik, trap, kicks...) figured all that out then I remembered oh I need to delete the 200 files from the first pack I downloaded bruh I have to double tap the file and delete each one individually lmmfnao really. I would be faster to uninstall the app then reinstall to delete all the unwanted files I uploaded. I hope I'm not doing right cause I like this app but the work flow sucks because of the file system. Sorry BM3 and Cubasis will do for now.

Ey yo , wenn man zig Ideen hat….und wenig Kohle….ey BeatHawk is for nothing….aber für mich echt voll geil !….BEATHAWK is Echt cool .
Doch wo…Audio Unit ? Und wo die fetten Effekte ?
Aber yo die App is voll cool !

Still Awesome

In the last few months I have bought and used many music creation apps. For some reason I only recently found this old but excellent app. It has quickly become one of my top tools alongside Koala, Korg Gadgets, and GrooveRider.

Excellent sound and very good IAPs.

My only complaint would be the colors and text size makes it hard on my eyes. I wish that could be adjusted by the user.

Lacks single note guitars

We need fully playable single note guitars, as well as banjo/mandolin

Needs To Be Updated

This app needs an update not only in sample packs but the entire UI needs a more modern design. The current colors clash and the keyboard design is horrible. The app has potential but its age is definitely showing. STOP BEING LAZY AND UPDATE YOUR THIS APP UVI!!!!

Most intuitive

Please keep this app updated this app is soooo Goood! With the Highest of quality sounds. Everytime i go to finish a song i barely have to touch a thing.

It’s June 2025 and it’s crashing out…
No updates in 2 years and no responses…
Seen this movie before😞

Intuitive, great sounds and rich in functionality

This is a cleverly designed app that has some similarities in approach to Maschine. It’s fun to use and has easy to follow graphical documentation. There are some decent sound libraries available and it is possible to import one shot samples. I had some problems when importing the libraries I had purchased but UVI support responded quickly and sorted them out.

IAPs not reliable.

Bought several IAPs for this. Some downloaded but others just hang and will not download.
Tried restoring purchases, rebooting iPad, you name it.
Completely up to date M1 iPad and app.
There was no problem taking my money, however.

My Favorite Beatmaking App

I love this app. It’s high quality, you can buy tons of packs, interfaces well with my DAW and has low latency. I especially love that you can import your own samples for a unique sound that’s all your own. I’m concerned though that BeatHawk hasn’t been updated for 2 yrs and that eventually Apple will take the app off of its store or that it won’t be keeping up with new changes in my iOS and my DAW. UVI if you’re out there, please respond!

Not sure if this is supported anymore

Bought this and a bunch of the plugins over the last couple years, worked great! Unfortunately it no longer is recognised by Garageband since the latest iOS update. I raised a ticket to support a few weeks ago but have not heard back since the original response :(.

Sehr gute App

Ich benutze die App für meine Backing- und Drum Tracks seit Jahren. Binde auch eigene Samples ein. Funktioniert wunderbar.
Ich wünschte noch eigene Namen für die Patterns wie Intro Brigde usw. und zusätzliche Spuren im Songmodus für Midi und Audio, aber vielleicht kommt das noch später. Jetzt exportiere ich zu Cubasis oder nehme BeatHawk Tracks gleich in Cubasis auf.
Für mich die beste Drumapp überhaupt.

Among The Best!!!

Beathawk is by far one of the most amazing music workstations apps available! The sound collection is beyond worthy by themselves. The 4 stars is because it’s not a full fledged DAW where you can add plugins or do much automation. But it’s AUv3 and that’s giant! Don’t sleep on this beast!!!

BeatHawk Delivers !

The sound packs are second to none on the iPad, Acoustic drums sound great with some eq mixing. The pianos are top notch.

Sound on piano

Paid for acoustic piano, Just don’t sound right on over half the samplers. Very odd.

5 Stars..

I would recommend purchasing Beathawk to anyone..everyone! They have such amazing products, and top notch customer service!!

Still does the trick.

This app hasn’t been updated in 2 years, no new content or features. No nothing. And yet this is my favorite app to start a track on.
I really wish more music making apps and DAWs would take inspiration from this one’s song mode. It also takes the 16 pad workflow and simplifies it in a way that still lets you make full tracks, but is cleaner and more to the point.
This app is sample based, and has THE best in App Store content of any other music making app. Especially when that content goes on sale (which it still does a few times a year).
The sampler itself is pretty simplistic and and can’t compete with something like Koala, but it is serviceable enough, and the downloadable sounds and fast workflow make this an app to not pass up.

Top Notch and Still My Go To

Great app and done right and very stable. Very responsive when contacted for app fixes and ideas. Would love to see some expansion to the sampler since it was ahead if it’s time when it came out but now it needs refreshment. Love to see where this app can continue to go and grow, maybe a built-in synth from your collection of products. I love iaps but a synth would be awesome and as a paid iap and would go a long way with the au capabilities as that also makes beathawk strong in Logic Pro. The piano roll is still a little difficult to see pending on the light situation. One more request would be to allow chords progressions and being able to play the pads as keys versus just a piano. Hopefully there is a big update on the way for that fifth star.
