### 3/5 — Oh the sweet nostalgia!

*2023-08-11, version 2.1.2*

Went scrolling through my history and found this from days long past. Downloaded and ran again only to find the other instruments not working. Only have the drum kit. Please on your next update enable your original sound samples and selection queues. Thank you!

### 4/5 — il progetto è ottimo

*2020-10-21, version 2.0.4*

l’app sarebbe perfetta, ma andrebbe migliorata
per quanto riguarda il tempo e magari aggiungendo qualche comando base
(start-stop-speed...)

### 4/5 — Has issues/potential, but overall it's a pretty sweet app.

*2012-03-25, version 1.25*

It gets a bit weird as you add tracks to the beat, more with the bass and vocals than the guitar, they don't stay with the beat. I'd say that that's about it for any problems. It's a fun app, but I'd love to see an addition that could make it so you could change the tempo. I've managed to figure out the beats to a few other NIN songs, if i could change the tempo (and it's a long shot, but maybe even the drum sounds) it would be perfect.

### 3/5 — Awesome!

*2012-01-24, version 1.25*

Lots of fun to play around with the drums and come up with different beats! The guitar and vocals and bass are all off and skip a lot which makes it all sound kind of messy when you put them together though. I'm a huge fan of NIN though so it's still a blast.

### 4/5 — Fan-tastical!!!

*2011-09-06, version 1.25*

I've remixed over 4 hours of NIN music I want more songs in an app like this!

### 3/5 — Pretty cool

*2010-11-28, version 0*

Some lag but only when running vocals, bass and guitar at once. Still good fun.

### 3/5 — Bpm?

*2010-11-22, version 0*

Developer: what's the BPM? Kinda useful to know

### 4/5 — Why so large?

*2010-09-17, version 0*

It's 22 mb so I cannot download from my phone? What? I downloaded this on my old phone and I went to get it again, I don't remember that. Can't you cut 2 mb out?

### 4/5 — Good

*2010-08-22, version 0*

Fun to play but when you put everything together it jumps and sounds like a stuck record or something

### 5/5 — SWEET

*2010-08-14, version 0*

Para los amantes de NIN y que fueron al tour Lights in the Sky sabrán del Moment Factory y del simulador de batería en touch screen para Echoplex... esta app lo simula perfectamente y adas incluye bajos, guitarras y voces !!! nice!

### 3/5 — NIN = Win

*2010-04-24, version 0*

I've had this for about a week now, and i cant stop playing around with it! Its really fun. As said before, I wish I could change the tempo or even import my own loops. 4 stars.

### 5/5 — Great

*2010-04-05, version 0*

I love this app!

### 5/5 — Go vanhalen!

*2010-03-18, version 0*

Vanhalen woot woot!

### 5/5 — Lag?

*2010-02-27, version 0*

I don't get what lag these people are talking about, it plays fine. Super fun to mess with and show friends. Definitely like!

### 5/5 — Wow

*2010-02-14, version 0*

Exelente

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Abbastanza fine a se stessa

*2025-08-17, version 2.1.4*

Poteva essere uno strumento incredibile ma oltre a non andare a tempo (e già potremmo chiudere qui) non è per nulla customizzabile.

### 1/5 — Lags like crazy

*2016-02-16, version 1.25*

I had this years ago on my old iPod touch and it lagged back then. Tried it again a couple of years later on my iPhone 4, still lagged. Decided to give it another shot on my brand new 6S Plus, and it still does not sync vocals or anything on the beat. Shame, it's a cool concept. Just wish it worked properly for me.

### 1/5 — Terrible.

*2012-10-07, version 1.25*

It's not even worth 1 star. I'm a huge NIN fan and this app is a joke. It lags and the guitar, bass, and vocals don't match up. Do yourself a favor and don't download this. Trent is probably laughing at the creator of this.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2010-02-13, version 0*

It us very laggy and can't play the sequencer worth crap.

### 1/5 — Wow

*2009-09-30, version 0*

I thought this app would be amazing before I downloaded it but then I actually tried to use it. The bass and snare samples play twice! There is no possible way to come up with anything close to the beat! PLEASE UPDATE AND FIX THIS

### 1/5 — Terrible execution

*2009-09-28, version 0*

I like the idea, but the execution is horrible. You can't make anything resembling the real thing because the samples play twice. Try updating it so it works properly.

### 1/5 — Boo

*2009-09-10, version 0*

I'm just glad that cheapskate Trent didn't charge us for this bogus piece of garbage.

### 1/5 — Ridiculously Bad

*2009-06-05, version 0*

A very simple app with a cute premise - but horribly flawed. It lets you plug in a kick and snare pattern on a basic grid. Too bad the pattern plays completely jerky, with latency on the hits such that a kick and snare coded to play at the same time just flam and stutter unpredictably. Then you can toggle various instrument background loops on (guitar, vocal, etc.) but these overlay horribly with the stammering beat. The app basically sounds like a DJ train wreck toy. Fail to comprehend how the app went out with the most basic of audio synch code handled so poorly. Guys. next time license FMOD for iphone and spend more than a few days banging out unstable audio timing code. FAIL.

### 2/5 — Hmmmm

*2013-01-09, version 1.25*

Una batteria eletronica che non va a tempo

### 2/5 — Unintuitive

*2009-11-08, version 0*

Interface makes no sense at all. Poorly designed. First sequencer I've used that isn't intuitive.

### 5/5 — Trent is proud ✊

*2026-05-19, version 2.1.5*

Thank you to this developer for granting NIN fans the chance to recreate the echoplex tour - and interactively participate in the pivotal musical moment Trent created.

### 5/5 — Thank you for updating!

*2022-10-04, version 2.1.2*

long time fan of this app happy to see it still getting updates! thanks a bunch

### 5/5 — Stupenda

*2014-12-23, version 1.25*

App stupenda, soprattutto per i fan dei Nine Inch Nails, grazie!!!

### 5/5 — AWESOME

*2012-09-20, version 1.25*

Please add more sounds to use beyond echoplex, add other NIN drums/samples!

### 5/5 — Una hermosura

*2012-08-19, version 1.25*

Te hace sentir cono reznor

### 5/5 — Years later... Still fun

*2012-03-23, version 1.25*

I first downloaded this app a few years ago, On my 1st gen iPod touch. I sol that and finally got an iPhone this year and revisited this app. It's still fun and entertaining to put together the drums like Josh did during the LITS tour. Having the g/b/v tracks is a nice bonus too. Simple but worthwhile. I suspect many of the negative reviews regarding lag or duplicating samples is due to older devices. I've never had a problem. Great app!

### 5/5 — BEST APP Ever

*2012-02-24, version 1.25*

Wow great app. More please.

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2011-06-07, version 1.25*

Excelente app

### 5/5 — Fregonan y entretenida!!!

*2011-02-17, version 1.25*

Genial para todo fan de NIN march!!

### 5/5 — I love this app

*2010-08-20, version 0*

I love the update, I can actually make the beat now. I actually almost had it before the update. I placed it in slot 2 and all I had to do was 1 snare.
