I used to own the lite version of this app and it was so great. When I had the chance of getting credit for iTunes, this was the first app I downloaded. One thing though. I downloaded the app for iPhone, because I previously owned an iPod touch. Know own an iPad mini and went to download this app, but when it boots up, it glitches and does not work. Please fix this so I can use this app, but other than that, it is a truly amazing. ### 4/5 — iBeams *2013-07-13, version 3.8* Nicely Done 4 out of 5 Rating! Thanks keep up the good work. Let's have some more in the future. ### 3/5 — Cool *2013-03-17, version 3.8* Cool app I wish it had a video record button ### 4/5 — Pretty cool *2012-07-05, version 3.7* This thing ain't bad ### 4/5 — Good *2012-01-02, version 3.7* Dock contend don't work for music. Other than that it's a great app. ### 4/5 — Great screen saver *2011-12-27, version 3.7* A music visualize??? Thats debatable. There are a lot of settings you can Change if you have a lot of time on your hands. If you play around with it for a while you can make some really cool looking screen savers. But if your looking for a true music visualizer this is not it. It's more of a Customizable screen saver. . ### 3/5 — Not for me *2011-12-13, version 3.7* I liked the classic itunes visualizer and was looking for a visualizer to go along with my own music. As soon as I turned this app on, it turned off what was playing on my ipod and started playing its own music. This was startling and annoying. I managed to turn it off, but I would prefer it to default to my own music. Also, the visuals are a beautiful kaleidoscope, but not obviously related to the music- just not what I was looking for. ### 4/5 — Me *2011-06-14, version 3.7* Good stuff. ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2011-06-04, version 3.7* iBeams is just a crazy cool app. I think I paid 1.99 for it. Or .99 cents. Whatever, it was worth EVERY penny. I would have paid more. Anyone who says this app is boring is a moron. It has dozens of effects that you can control with a few touches. Amazing visualizer. It's the G-force of the iPhone/iPod. ### 5/5 — Orgasmic *2011-05-13, version 3.7* Totally awesome ### 3/5 — Eh, not bad *2011-05-10, version 3.7* Not quite as amazing as I thought it would be, but still okay. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Nicht zu gebrauchen *2016-08-19* Schaltet Bluetooth Boxen und Kopfhörer bei Verwendung ab. So kaum nutzbar. Ein Pegel kann nur per mikro abgenommen werden hier wäre eine iTunes Musik Einbindung wünschenswert. Gute Ideen Umsetzung ist aber wünschenswert, macht eher den Eindruck einer veraltet Beta version. Schade **Developer response:** Bluetooth sollte besser funktionieren. Apple verbietet das Erfassen von Lautsprecherausgaben, um Musikdiebstahl zu stoppen, daher muss es ein Mikrofon verwenden. ### 1/5 — Microphone input? *2015-06-19, version 3.9* The app claims to work with anything the microphone hears, but as soon as I launch the app, my music app (Spotify) pauses. This feature may well work with external sources, but is useless for listening to sound coming off the same device. ### 1/5 — Not a music visualizer. *2012-05-26, version 3.7* It seems to only pick up sound from the microphone. How can it not internally interact with the music? It's waaaay over-complicated and becomes a mess after a few clicks of the options. The only value I see in this app is if you are totally high and need something to look at. ### 1/5 — Hate it *2011-12-21, version 3.7* I always use my headphones and this uses the mic so I can't and any background noise interferes with the beams.😓👎 ### 1/5 — Not clearly stated. *2011-11-20, version 3.7* Should be NO STAR! It doesn't react with music played through the headphone. What I was looking for is an animation entirely modulated by the sound (pitch), volume and rhythm of the music played from my itunes library through my headphone. ### 1/5 — Very Awful Piece Of Crap *2011-09-07, version 3.7* After downloading this garbage I had to delete it to actually listen to the iPod on my iPhone 4. What a hack. Get this thing out of the iTunes Store. ### 1/5 — Crapped out after 2 weeks *2011-07-12, version 3.7* It WAS a pretty great app. A little overly complicated. But I managed to play my music in the while having visuals displayed on my phone. But now it's black screen! None of the options or menus work, even if I close the app, turn off phone, and it STILL doesn't work. Weak. ### 1/5 — Schlecht *2011-06-29* Schaltet bei Funktion den Kopfhörer aus, was für'n Schrott. ### 1/5 — waste of money if I'd ios5 *2011-06-23, version 3.7* crashes every time u try to open it ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2011-04-22, version 3.7* Poor ...... What a messy program. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant, please update.... 😍 *2018-02-10, version 3.9* Love it in the hands free in the car. ### 5/5 — Love it *2017-03-08, version 3.9* Use it to relax and chill. ### 5/5 — Played with this for years *2015-03-19, version 3.9* I love this app and everything about it. Could we get support so that I can keep Bluetooth speakers connected while visualizing??? That change would be beyond perfect. ### 5/5 — Awesome app for DJ visuals! *2014-03-01, version 3.9* My old visual effects system (a laptop with Winamp), broke down and I needed something quick. It turns out that this visualizer not only responds to microphone input, but also allows you to manipulate the visuals in real time with just your fingers! Great job on this, and well worth the money! ### 5/5 — This is awesome. *2013-07-19, version 3.8* I haven't really tried out any other visualizes, except for the one on Xbox 360, but this app trips me out and it's fun. It doesn't really match up to your music, but if you get good with it you can make it work with your music or anything that has sound. ### 5/5 — One of the best iPad apps ever!! *2012-10-07, version 3.7* I set this up with a projector while my buddies psychedelic rock band jammed. The features are endlessly awesome, and you can morph the designs incredibly. The only issue I had was with the touch controls, they consistently crashed the program. I wouldn't call this a necessary feature, there are so many possibilities I never wanted the touch. The fractal patterns, spheres, rotating madness, it' s almost too awesome. I had it running non-stop for five hours, no problems unless the touch feature was in use. The real time controls are so reactive, I really don't even know how to describe this awesomeness. I have no AV experience, so this is an amateur evaluation, but everyone was blown away by this thing. It takes some time to get a handle on all the feature, I would say I've just started figuring it out after five hours, but the images that are built in are an amazing tool for starting out. If I wasn't an Apple fanboy before this app, it would make me one. This app takes full advantage of the the iPads capabilities. Get it, you won't be sorry. ### 5/5 — An actual visualizer! *2012-05-31, version 3.7* A lot of people seem skeptical as to whether or not tgis is an actual visualizer. It is! For proof go to Options>Color/Microphone Options>Visualize sounds. This visualizes its sounds. I am unsure whether or not it visualizes the sounds (Slightly or if at all) without doing this. ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2011-11-23, version 3.7* Took a while to figure out settings, but once I did, works great! Have a setting for different music genres, or whatever mood I'm in. ### 5/5 — Exgwizzeet! *2011-09-02, version 3.7* Simply a scrumptious piece of software! It took me awhile to find the settings which launched the full mind-boggling potential of the visuals (working with mirror permutations helped) but when I did...WHOA! Makes fourth of July fireworks look like a book of wet matches :) ### 5/5 — This game is sooooo fun *2011-07-17, version 3.7* I think that this game is the best game I ever bought and it's well worth the money! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
