Also the Elliott Garage EGDR909 logo in the top left corner opens a window than cannot be exited. ### 1/5 — Que chafa *2020-09-14, version 2.0.3* Hace la compre la elimine y me vuelve a pedir pago que mal 👎 ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-08-24* Paying for this app made it harder to use by adding in a song mode which pops onto the screen at random sometimes, the save function for patterns does not actually save at all sometimes and when it does, the saves are unplayable. ### 1/5 — What’s the point *2020-04-13* Installed the free version and instantly cant do anything for ads? The free version of an app is usually to try before you buy, but as it’s unusable within 5 seconds of installing I’ve no choice but to get rid of it and move on. ### 2/5 — Scaling is all wrong, it doesn’t fir on screen correctly - iPad pro *2020-01-23* Doesn’t work on iPad Pro. The window sizes are wrong. ### 1/5 — AUv3 completely useless *2019-01-28* AUv3 supported, so i download and try. open AUM, add AUv3 to a track... is greyed out saying i just purchase to use AUv3. If i can't even try out the feature, you won't get a purchase. **Developer response:** Hi luche21, the AU3 support is included in the in-app purchase. You can however try almost all the functionalities of the app for free in the standalone version. ### 2/5 — Gros bug sur iPhone 4 7.1.2 (11D257) *2018-06-28* Bonne idée, simplement ça ne marche pas sur mon iPhone4 7.1.2 (11D257) Car j'ai un bug immédiat et systématique lors de l'edit d'un pattern. L'application en est devenu obsolète, j'ai payé pour rien ### 1/5 — Avoid *2018-01-04* Incessant pop up ads that make proper evaluation impossible. Also when you’re not using it it sits in the background devouring battery power ### 1/5 — 全く使えない *2017-04-12* 全然エフェクトはかからないし、無料だとBDしか音いじれない。しかもTR-909の音とは違う。有料版を買う気には全くならない。無償版も2分で削除しました。 ### 1/5 — Pas de sauvegarde ,touche trop petites *2016-09-08* Sauvegarde impossible Touche trop petites pas reactive du tout Bouton volume et tempo presque inutilisable ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No av3. *2026-07-25* Useless just a money grab. Screw you delete the free version if you wanna make it paid only. ### 1/5 — Unusable *2026-06-20* Terrible interface makes it pretty much impossible to adjust the settings. A totally worthless app. ### 1/5 — Terrible MIDI integration *2026-05-23* This app does not interface properly with an external MIDI controller. It is designed to be used from a touchscreen and that makes it impractical on an iPhone or iPad with screen protectors. Total waste of time and I am asking for a refund as soon as possible. ### 1/5 — Bought it doesn’t work *2025-02-15* How can I get in contact with with Eliot garage as I purchased your app which looked good but doesn’t work fully can’t get sound when trying to create my own beats.. please help or is this just a waste of time and money ### 1/5 — Background Battery Drain *2024-01-19* No idea why this thing is draining my battery. There is no reason it should be functioning in the background. It’s a terrific little drum machine that’s on the verge of being uninstalled. ### 1/5 — Horrible … *2024-01-05* Battery killer! I want my money back! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2023-09-30* Not useable at all ### 1/5 — Interface design leads to accidental purchase *2023-08-27* The paid upgrade pop-up has an X to close it, but pressing the X in fact takes you through to purchase it. ### 1/5 — No App Support *2023-07-03* Looks promising, but the YouTube videos are awful, and don’t show how to use the app. No real documentation that I could find. Contact email came back as undeliverable. ### 1/5 — すぐ落ちる *2022-09-29* せっかく作った曲も、ちょっとした拍子にすぐアプリが落ちて消え去ってしまいます。。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Cool app *2024-10-07* I’m really enjoying this app ### 5/5 — The EGDR909 *2022-12-15* The EGDR909 offers intuitive sound functionality. A must have for the eager electronic musician. ### 5/5 — Surprisingly useful and stable *2020-07-28* These little retro drum machine apps capture the sound and feel of the originals for me. I do like the sounds chosen for them also. I have many high quality 909 samples but I find myself using this app a lot especially now that it is auv3. Plus the developers are really cool and they continue to support their apps. Check out some of their newer ones also like eg pulse and segments, they are some of the best, not just my opinion. Also, I have no crashes on an ipad 6th gen with any of their stuff. ### 5/5 — 中文怎么切换 *2020-04-12* 中文在哪里切换 ### 5/5 — I love this app except *2019-11-26* This app is awesome and all but it crashes every time I close the pattern create and whenever I use the step mode so please don’t ever take this off of the App Store ### 5/5 — Good app *2018-05-02* I’m having trouble using the accent ### 3/5 — Escala *2019-04-15, version 2.0.3* Como se modifica la escala? ### 3/5 — Good concept. *2016-12-08* Cannot work out how to use this, the page long manual is written in confusing English and when following the steps my patterns seem to disappear and revert to defaults? ### 2/5 — Excellent player, can’t save patterns *2025-04-11* I really like this app. I just wish I could save the patterns. I purchased the full app thinking it would help. Periodically it will let me save but 95% of the time it just locks up my iPad. This problem is common to every drum app this dude makes. Maybe it’s my hardware. Don’t know. ### 2/5 — Doesn‘t fit to screen *2022-03-12* I‘d love to buy this app an play around with it - however, the bottom part of the drum machine‘s interface seems to be cut away on my iPhone 13 pro. Thus, I cannot see the instrument labels, which is quite cumbersome. If the issue gets fixed I‘ll buy the app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
