### 4/5 — WHY BLU

*2026-06-09, version 1.12.01*

So don’t get me wrong it’s very cool but for some reason the blue beat square thingy doesn’t work I tried changing the sound of it but it just goes silent so please can someone fix this

### 4/5 — Fun app but can’t change time signature

*2025-05-28, version 1.12.01*

I needed to create a 12/8 groove and couldn’t get out of 4/4, even with the Full Version.   Maybe there’s a way, but I tried all the buttons and used the Help diagrams, and didn’t see the option, so it’s not going to work for my practice.  Maybe they can add this feature in the future.

### 3/5 — Works well but singular hiccup stops it from being useful

*2025-03-31, version 1.12.01*

The loop is off set by one beat so you can’t get a consistent beat in any way . Every rhythm has to have an equal part break so nothing can be consistent. Really weird hope they fix it I’d probably buy this if they did it’s a good set up

### 3/5 — Was subscribed unknowingly.

*2024-02-09, version 1.12.01*

I downloaded the app. Somehow was subscribed for a month for 30 dollars. Could have been my fault. I get it. I was reached out to in order to solve the situation after leaving a review about it.  I was frustrated and they responded kindly. I can appreciates that.

### 3/5 — Ok, but…

*2023-02-01, version 1.12.01*

Is there any way to export tracks?

### 3/5 — Tap tempo

*2022-10-02, version 1.12.01*

Would be great if this had tap tempo.

### 4/5 — Great App!

*2021-02-09, version 1.10.00*

It’s a great app except every time I click on something, the subscription add pops up.

### 3/5 — To much sound

*2021-01-09, version 1.10.00*

### 1/5 — Gross

*2025-03-12, version 1.12.01*

30$ subscription needed to do anything

### 1/5 — CLONE OF THE APP DRUMMY

*2024-08-27*

This is a clone of the drummy app that isnway less expensive and without subscription !

**Developer response:** Bonjour,

Nous sommes désolés que vous n'ayez pas apprécié notre application. Si vous avez des suggestions pour améliorer Drum Pad Machine, n'hésitez pas à nous contacter à support-drum-machine@mwmapps.com.

Cordialement,

### 1/5 — DONT GET THIS

*2024-04-02, version 1.12.01*

Do not get this yes it’s free but it’s a wast of space on your iPhone I’m pretty sure that one of the things that this app shows you is that you can change the sound of but no I looked for it for like a minute and quite and if that is a feature you probably have to pay for it. Also if want the beats in this game to sound good probably have to pay for that too.

### 1/5 — Arnaque

*2023-11-02*

Aucun bouton pour annuler la période d’essai

### 1/5 — Seems predatory

*2022-03-13, version 1.12.01*

Before I knew what was going on, $30 out of my wallet. I have no idea how to inquire for a refund because I really wanted to just try it first.

Now I’m kind of stuck with it. It’s nothing better than other services. And now I’m out $30. Cool.

### 1/5 — Deceptive.  Your cannot use the app all without a 3 day trial and then $9 a month or paying $30.

*2022-02-14, version 1.12.01*

Deceptive.  Your cannot use the app at all without starting a 3 day trial and then $9 a month or paying $30, just to even see the app. Its blocked you cannot even see or access the app.

### 1/5 — Ad blocking

*2021-09-30, version 1.12.01*

Ad blocks the bottom row instrument and it’s triggered on and I cannot undo it because of the ad

### 1/5 — Money grab scam

*2021-06-08, version 1.12.01*

You HAVE to start the trial before you can even use this app. 

The bot known as ‘Alice’ will respond to all of your queries by saying that you just have to cancel the subscription and you can use the free trial but ‘Alice’ is wrong.

There is no free trial. Unless you subscribe to this app you can’t use it. That is it and when ‘Alice’ says you can use a free limited version it’s not true. I don’t even know how they could possibly get a 4.2 rating when you read all of the poor reviews.

 I don’t know why this is app is exactly the same as Drummy. The interface and the icon are almost identical.  Drummy was a very limited drum machine app that was $.99. I don’t know if it’s still on the App Store or not but it’s really bizarre that the Drummy app had the exact same logo and interface as this app which came after that app and could possibly have the same coding person or people coding for it but there is nothing worth a subscription on either apps. Maybe $1.99 plus a few .99 in apps and that is it.  

 I would expect MORE from this company. I mean Phase and Mixfader? Those are fabulous pieces of hardware. 

 I have a Mixfader on one of a few of my portable turntables. It is mind boggling that a company this cool would price gouge.

 Sad is the only way to describe this app with or without a subscription..

### 1/5 — Errors anyone?

*2021-02-19, version 1.10.00*

There are more “an error occurred, please try later” messages than available sounds.
Terrible
