That being said, it use to crash a lot. But I’ve recently given it another chance and I honestly, honestly can say… it HAS NOT CRASHED since I’ve been back. I believe the last update really made a difference. I hate crashes because they pull me out of the mood to create. This app has regained and renewed my faith in it. Now, if they will continue that structure with maybe another update, which is more of a way to just confirm they haven’t abandoned the DAW like so many other great apps… I’m all in! And YES… I’ll give it that 5th Star! ### 1/5 — Bm3 não abre *2026-07-10, version 3.0.17* Aplicativo com erros, instala porém ao abrir ele fecha sozinho ### 5/5 — Addictive! *2026-06-20, version 3.0.17* Every music producer, BeatMaker, DJ, young & old should have this for their creativity !! ### 5/5 — BeatMaker 4 *2026-05-14, version 3.0.17* I don’t know why it’s taken so long for them to come out with BeatMaker 4 This program has the potential to be the best DAW on the market.
