User reviews

Broken on iPad Pro M4 11 inch

It’s like the screen is misaligned or scaled wrong or something, nothing lines up correctly

Can’t play music into anything blue tooth

Got this to add to the a riders joy in the car with music playing but it switches my music from my car blue tooth to my iPad speaker so u can’t really hear much in the back of the car

Does not work on I Pad Pro 2022

You just get a black screen with minimal activity of effects. The effects only cover 20 percent of the screen so basically completely useless!

Great little gizmo

Used interactively, this is a great little gizmo for adding motion to songs. What it needs, is a way to start screen recordings so its output can be used in videos. It is possible to use the iPad’s own recording facility, but this is les than ideal and tricky when it comes to timing.

Best visualizer

THE BEST MUSIC VISUALIZER. This app is gorgeous, usable, and so much fun! No other comes close. FIVE STARS!!!!

FAQ

What does the iBeams HD Music Visualizer app do?

This app is an interactive procedural special effects system that allows users to create and manipulate hypnotic visual effects. You can generate and control beams of plasma, lightning, lasers, swirly swarms, and other psychedelic shapes.

How can I interact with the visual effects?

You can interact with the visual effects by touching the screen, which makes the beams follow your fingers. You can also pinch, zoom, and tilt to control motion echoes and distort the imagery over time.

Does the app respond to music?

Yes, the app can respond to anything your microphone hears. Sound intensity can be visualized as circles, and you can connect different controls to the microphone to build your own music visualizer.

What kind of customization options are available?

The app offers over a dozen editable parameters, including adjustable width, speed, density, noise, and texture map. You can also use your own images as backgrounds, control motion blur, spin, zoom, scale, and warping parameters, and create kaleidoscope effects.

Is this app compatible with my device?

The description mentions support for iPad and iPod touch/iPhone, and VGA out support for VJs, suggesting compatibility with various iOS devices. It's recommended to check the app store listing for specific device compatibility.
