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! ### 2/5 — Crashes after update 3.0.17 *2026-01-25, version 3.0.17* Anyway to get version 3.0.16? I have an older iPad with iOS 12 that I only used for Beatmaker3. It auto updated and crashes on opening now. Tried restarting device, reinstalling app. Nothing has worked. Would be great if I can get it to work again. ### 3/5 — Good with a great potential *2026-01-20, version 3.0.17* The UI is simplicity and great for lazy creators such as myself, but there are some areas that are lacking. Mainly the sounds/instruments available- even in the store- are severely limited and “synth” dominated. The bundles are affordable but they mostly seem to be the same sounds altered with different effects. Guitars, strings, organs, winds, bells, vocals and other instruments are poorly represented if at all. And if you*ve had BeatMaker 2 your purchased library DOES NOT TRANSFER which is a major FAIL as the store for that app no longer exists. ALL of my purchases for that app are gone. If you’re looking for workstations such a Korg Triton or Roland Motif keyboard would offer, you won’t find them here. Severely stifling for musicians who don’t have instrument sampling or creating skills. Quantizing still needs work, but is manageable. Plug-in’s are confusing as well. Haven’t found success with getting that to work. It’s good app to start with, but if you’re a more dedicated creator look elsewhere. It has room for growth, but doesn’t show that it actually will. More likely that there’ll be a BeatMaker 4 and all the time and money you’ve spent here will be wasted. ### 5/5 — THE BEST EVER *2026-01-12, version 3.0.17* I have been consistently using BM3 since 2019. Better than FL STUDIO, and that’s not a knock to FL, that is where I started making beats in 2001, but BM3 is the best product I’ve ever used to make music. As a person on the go, I’m able to make music ANYWHERE, and the quality is unmatched. 10/10 ### 5/5 — The Only Sampler I need! *2026-01-12, version 3.0.17* As an iPad producer this has been my go to solution for production since it was released. I have yet to find a solution for sampling better for my workflow than BeatMaker 3. I wish it would get regular updates. I come across bugs or issues I’d love to be addressed. But even with that… It’s still an integral part of how I work on my craft as a producer. ### 5/5 — Tommy J *2026-01-11, version 3.0.17* Loves beatmaker3 ### 5/5 — Great *2026-01-10, version 3.0.17* The program is phenomenal for its purpose. That being said, i would like the app to be updated with new sound packs and features that rival pc based music production programs ### 5/5 — Тут *2026-01-09, version 3.0.17* Хороший софт на iPad ### 5/5 — Inter app audio not loading *2026-01-03, version 3.0.17* Hello I think that this is really an awesome ab but please fix the inter app audio I Beatmaker developers thank you 🙂 ### 5/5 — Still Awesome In 2025 *2025-12-26, version 3.0.17* Still an awesome DAW in 2025 for building tracks end to end and for live performances. If you’re an Ableton user then using this is a sinch. It received a recent update which is pretty cool that the devs still support this killer app. It’s so underrated. ### 5/5 — Incredible!!! *2025-12-24, version 3.0.17* I just purchased this product and I’m grateful that support still continues for such an amazing app. A fresh new update has arrived just in time for Xmas! 😮🎄🥰 ### 4/5 — jahkim7 *2025-12-23, version 3.0.17* Not working in AUM or Audiobus since last update. ### 5/5 — Ого *2025-12-20, version 3.0.17* Вы там живы ещё, оказывается… ### 5/5 — This is amazing DAW *2025-12-20, version 3.0.17* Best of the best ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bm3 não abre *2026-07-10, version 3.0.17* Aplicativo com erros, instala porém ao abrir ele fecha sozinho ### 1/5 — Stems *2026-03-28, version 3.0.17* Can’t track out stems properly anymore!!

It’s been a problem for a while now and I couldn’t get a refund. So, money in the trash I guess. ### 1/5 — Bluetooth problem *2025-12-24, version 3.0.17* When I launch beatmaker3 on my iPad, Bluetooth stops working. Beatmaker3 turns off Bluetooth completely. I have already checked all the possible settings and it seems that the problem is in the application. Has anyone has this weird problem? ### 1/5 — Pitch wheel glitch *2025-08-31, version 3.0.16* The pitch wheel jumps around when you move it. There’s no way to do smooth pitch changes. ### 1/5 — Keeps crashing *2025-05-30, version 3.0.16* This keeps crashing on me and losing my projects. ### 1/5 — Bug bug bug ans crash *2025-05-14, version 3.0.16* Impossible…..deleted….17.7.7….. ### 1/5 — FIX THE EXPORT *2025-03-08, version 3.0.16* I made a beautiful song on your app but IT CRASHES WHEN I TRY TO EXPORT IT?!? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. If this program has the ability to use stems, it Would change the game on the iPad. Please come out with a new version.
