What's New in Beatly

2.0

September 30, 2026

Beatly 2.0 is here—our biggest update yet. The app has been redesigned from top to bottom, with a clearer workflow, richer musical generation, and a new interface that feels at home on both iPhone and iPad. WHAT’S NEW • A completely redesigned dashboard with audio-reactive visuals, clearer controls, and refreshed playback and recording feedback • Improved music generation with richer style-specific patterns, smoother harmonic movement, more coherent phrases, recurring melodic ideas, and less overly busy bass • Redesigned Track Settings for quicker access to Style and Key • New contextual help that explains controls directly where you need it • Extensive VoiceOver and accessibility improvements throughout the app • A redesigned main menu and smoother transitions between screens • A new app icon and refreshed visual identity • Improved playback, recording, audio-session handling, and general stability • Many smaller usability improvements and fixes across the app Beatly continues to generate music directly on your device using musical rules and curated patterns—not AI prompts, cloud generation, or trained models. Thank you for using Beatly and supporting its development. We hope version 2.0 gives you plenty of new musical ideas.

User reviews

It’s great!

Couldn’t be any easier: just press play and get a random and pleasant-sounding beat! Save the ones you like! I may upgrade to Pro to support the developer.

No Landscape Orientation?

I am an iPad user who would appreciate landscape orientation while using this groovy app. The generated beats can be a little rocky at times, but I can see that with a little more tweaking, this could be a keeper. (I found a few jewels in there!)

Also, an UNDO button would also be great to return back to a previously generated beat.

Boooyaayayah!

Very first song was an instant keeper and a welcome expansion to my arsenal. Hope to see more features out of this but a solid start.

Useful little app

Genuinely useful little app - capable of generating some cool beats and rhythms with interesting arrangements. Really interested in how the pro version progresses as midi / audio out would be incredibly useful...👍

Very cool

Is there an email address that I can write you to to make some suggestions? This last update has changed something and in my opinion has not been necessarily for the best. The drum parts seem even more “nervous/sputtery” than before. When I compared it to some of the saved motifs from the earlier version, the update seems to have less musical sensibilities. Anyway, I think I would have some suggestions for you and some of the other aspects if I could reach you directly. Thanks, Scott

Response from developer

Hey Scott, I will be happy to hear your suggestions. Drop me a message via Twitter, if you don't mind! @AntoninCharvat (link in the Beatly AppStore page as well). I think I know what you mean by the "nervous" drum parts and I am working on it. Currently the algorithm doesn't prefer any patterns and some of the most "disruptive" are used way too often. I'm gonna improve it, no worries! :) Thank you again! Antonin
