### 5/5 — UNDERRATED!

*2023-12-10*

Really great app. Great sounds and super easy to use with some cool extra features. Such a shame they seemed to have stopped updating it?

### 5/5 — Несовместимость с iPhone 14 pro

*2022-10-28*

Верхние кнопки не отображаются

### 1/5 — Thanks

*2020-08-31*

Umm ever since the update all my paterns have been scattered out of order now i cant find anything thanks all my samples are scattered too ive been using this for years can u guys please fix the order of every thing back to the way it was this app was already disorganized now its worse than before because i kno where my old samples and beats used to be now that u changed the order i have to delete samples and beats just to see anything edit: there are way to many glitches and bugs ill save a beat that ive been working on and edited and it will not save my work thats really frustrating after sometimes hours of working on a beat so thanks!!!

CAN YOU FIX UR BUG RIDEN APP AND UPDATE WOULD BE GREAT!!!!

### 3/5 — Pas de connexion pour appareil midi.

*2020-03-28*

A quand une mise à jour pour pouvoir utiliser un appareil midi externe ? (Akai mpd218 ou MPX 16 etc..)

### 5/5 — No way! This is perfect for me!

*2020-03-19*

Ok, I wasn’t expecting this!  I was so pleased to see this thing has all I need. I don’t know how others are using this thing, but it’s certainly more than just a drum machine in the traditional sense. It’s easy, it’s fun and it’s very capable. Please don’t let this fade out. I’ve tried a hell of a lot of music making apps, hardware and other software. I can honestly say that this is brilliant! Please keep this updated.

### 3/5 — Broken app

*2020-03-01*

I would have rated five stars but now I lost all my beats, I can download other beats for their best panels and I can’t upload any beats. Please fix

### 4/5 — Great app with a bug

*2020-02-02*

This is a great app. The interface destroys all of its competition. I’d like to give this 5 stars but I found an annoying bug that I hope will be fixed soon. The swing type does not properly save with your pattern. For instance, if you open a saved pattern that was saved with a 1/16 swing, but the previous pattern that was opened had a 1/8 swing, the newly opened pattern will be in 1/8 swing rather than the correct swing type. It’s pretty annoying. Seems like a simple thing to fix, which I hope will be done soon. 

It would also be great if Easybeats introduced a way to export a midi file of the pattern, rather than just audio, so the patterns could be dropped into a DAW for use with other kits. Introducing this feature would make for a 10 star rating!

### 4/5 — Cool little app!

*2019-06-21*

This is a cool lap to practice with. It has a few drawbacks hence only 3 stars but I used it lots and just wish it changed screen when playing to multiple bars.

Could also do a side stick sound which is so standard on a drum kit.

### 5/5 — Awsome!

*2019-02-27*

The best and most realistic sounding app out there

### 2/5 — Good at what it does but missing critical features

*2018-07-16*

The recording and pattern manipulation are excellent in this app. Compared to others the work flow is simple, intuitive and produces good results. However, for $10 or a subscription it needs some serious attention: 1) more drum kits - the current selection is SO small, and repeats so many of the same sounds I initially thought this app was a scam. 2) ability to control other drum apps via midi - this would some what make up for the lack of samples. 3) triplets, etc. - any decent sequencer needs to have some ability to modify the layout of the pattern in various ways. Locking users into a simple grid is not good for anyone besides beginners.
