Stand-alone, it’s fun to use, intuitive, and very quick to get used to. The interface is also sleek and appealing and responsive. Where it falls short is with its Inter-App Support. I have tried opening Impaktor using Audiobus, AUM, MultiTrack Studio, and GarageBand, and it crashes all of them. Now, sometimes I can look the other way, but if a paid product is supposed to have support, it’s a reasonable expectation that it work. I can get around that most times by simply using the app’s onboard WAV export function. It isn’t ideal, but for an app like Impaktor, I could make an exception due to the innovation. But the trouble is that WAV exports crash the app as well, and it takes a lot of finagling - opening, closing, crashing, and crossing fingers - to get a WAV to export. This is less than acceptable. I feel the developer should really look into these issues. For reference, I’m using a 2018 iPad Pro recently updated to iOS 16. If not for these technical flaws, this app would get a perfect five stars. ### 3/5 — Small update ? *2022-10-23* Thanks first of all, it would probably be the best app again if we could have the input from a real mic in AUM via an audio interface. The idea behind is to put the input on a Cajon… ### 3/5 — Forgotten gem needs update !! *2022-02-21* Crashes when bouncing, not compatible/recognized with AUM and audiobus, no ableton link… UPDATE TO SHINE AT FIVE STARS ! ### 3/5 — Toll, aber keine Einbindung. *2022-01-11* Sound und Spielverhalten finde ich gut, dass Impaktor aber weder in AUM noch Audio Bus startet ist schade. Die Dropdown-Menues funktionieren nicht. Nur n schwarzes Quadrat. …und der Save-Knopf ist mir auch verborgen geblieben. Sonst würde ich volle Sterne geben. ### 2/5 — Great app but Audiobus is not working *2021-10-24* I am a hand drummer and this is the only app I know of that allows true organic beats (non-quantized) — like I do on a tabla, conga, dumbek, etc. So, I would like to give this 5 stars, because it really is in a class by itself…however, Audiobus has not successfully launched the app for months so there is no way to use a studio workflow with other apps and that prevents this from being something you can actually use for real work. ### 3/5 — Great app but… *2021-09-23* Used to love putting loops together on my iPhone X with this, but it will no longer run correctly after installing iOS 15 - it crashes every time I try to export a loop. ### 3/5 — The saving feature is broken *2021-09-16* The keyboard opens up and glitches me stuck on screen I cannot save stuff. ### 4/5 — Great Little app *2021-09-09* Re-discovering this App. Great for creating organic sounds. PLEASE MAKE THIS AN AUV3 AUDIO FX (too useful not to have this. Ableron link would also be great😀) ### 3/5 — Could be great…..if it worked? *2021-06-24* Doesn’t work as inter-app audio. This is something of a shame ### 5/5 — Sehr nette App *2020-05-09* Mach viel Spass, aber auf dem Ipad wäre es schön, wenn Screen Rotate funktionieren würde. ### 4/5 — Good but *2020-04-23* please add ableton link! ### 5/5 — Classic *2020-04-07* Classic app that will be superseded by another app from house beepstreet: Drambo. Hold onto your socks! ### 3/5 — Very useful percussion app. Needs sync. *2020-04-02* Edited. Still no sync, which is spoiling the effectiveness of this app for me. Otherwise|- Really nice app, love the sounds and layering loops. Would be even better with sync options or especially Ableton Link compatibility. Would breathe new life into this app. I’ve been looking for anything (even a desktop app) that does what this one does and still haven’t found it. ### 4/5 — Very inspiring app *2020-03-17* Love this app - highly recommended. Unfortunately there is no midi sync in, no midi sync out neither - that’s why 4 stars. Maybe a long waited update can add it? What do you think BeepStreet? ### 4/5 — Excellent app *2019-06-25* Just got it today but I can already see the possibilities with it! I just hope background audio is introduced and maybe some midi control for playing with other apps. Great app so far though. ### 4/5 — 電子ドラム化可能！ *2019-03-28* チューナー用マイクとIRIGを使うと、周囲の音を拾うことなく、アンプをつなげば電子打楽器になります！ チューナー用マイクを板にでも、バケツにでも、練習用パッドにでも、何にでも挟めば、楽しい打楽器に変身。 レスポンスもいいし。アコースティックな音がたくさプリセットにあるとさらにいいなと思いました。 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update please *2024-10-24* Needs an update it was one the best apps for sure ### 1/5 — Buyer beware. App is broken and developer is non-responsive to emails. *2023-02-11* This app states it supports InterAp audio. It does not. Will not load in any Interapp audio program apparently This is a well-known issue and if you search the Internet there are multiple posts in different audio forums discussing this. Developer does not respond to any of them. Tried direct emailing developer several times but no reply. Developer needs to either update description to not supporting inter app app audio or remove from App Store as this is strictly why I purchased the app and I would like my money back. I would be careful about buying any other products from this developer as they do not offer any support. ### 1/5 — Doesnt Work at all *2021-05-06* Not sure what’s going on I love beepstreet but this is frustraiting the app doesnt work at all. I dont really understand but the actual sound is staticky and rarely works correctly. I dont usually go for a refund but I’m going to fight on this one. ### 1/5 — Awful app *2021-03-12* How do get money back on this app? ### 1/5 — Not working in GarageBand *2018-10-08* The app works fine on its own, but it will no longer load into my GarageBand. I’ve a previously recorded Impaktor track that I had created a few months back when it was working fine. ### 1/5 — Don’t work with KYMATICA AUM and AUDIOBUS 3 in IOS 11,3 *2018-08-22* Don’t work with AUM KYMATICA and AUDIOBUS 3 in IOS 11.3 ### 1/5 — なにこれ *2018-05-24* 使えないです。 ### 1/5 — Not compatible with AUM *2018-04-13* Bought this to use with a stomp box via iTrack dock but is not compatible - AUM cannot open it as Interapp audio and it crashes it forcing restart. ### 1/5 — 5 sterne nur, weil es mehr gelesen wird *2017-11-29* also, ganz ehrlich. ich weiß nicht was an dieser app so besonders sein soll. ich benutze viele musikapps und meine schon mich auszukennen, aber hier bin ich enttäuscht. rausgeworfene 5€. lasst die finger davon ### 1/5 — Awful iPhone app *2017-11-15* Totally useless on an iPad if you want landscape mode. This is just a cheesy iPhone app upgraded to iPad with no landscape mode. This is just a toy, not a real, useable music app. Rip off. If you put an app in the iPad section of the app store it should have a landscape mode. That’s what makes it an iPad app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ingenius app and unique! *2026-06-05* This app will probably be one of my favourite drums and perc apps and i just bought it minutes ago...truly unique and very much worth what little this awesome dev asks for it! ### 5/5 — Amazing tool *2026-02-13* Extraordinary app- I use it daily (contact mic on hand drum running into an iRig to mixer) accompanying contemporary dance classes. Having sounds that bridge the electronic with completely organic response to playing- in timbre, pitch, volume, and articulation- is invaluable. If this app ever goes away, I may have to retire. ### 5/5 — App incrível *2025-08-09* Por favor continuem atualizando. Tem muito potencial para crescimento ### 5/5 — Обновили и теперь вылетает *2025-08-01* Ну всё:/// Обновления улучшения убили программу ///// Пожалуйста исправьте iPhone 8 iOS 14 не работает Грузится чуть и сразу слетает /( Auv3 можно ли ожидать от вас ? ### 5/5 — update PLEASE, because… *2022-10-20* the app cannot be opened in aum and in audiobus, it fails loading:( the app ist absolutely brilliant and it would be very sad, if it can‘t be used! ### 5/5 — Шикарно! *2021-10-29* Использовать корпус iPad в качестве перкуссии (при включённом микрофоне) - никогда ни где такого не видел! Это гениально! P.S. При том что работает без тормозов на моём старом iPad - 2, это сверх всяких похвал! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2021-06-11* While i am excited always to use this app it has a problem with IAA node. Not working with AudioShare / AUM …etc. Developer please fix this before your fantastic masterpiece end up as forgotten and abandoned. It will be just a shame. This is such a gem to audio world. ### 5/5 — Great sound and great fun *2021-01-17* Impaktor is unlike any other synth or drum tool I’ve played with. It sounds incredible and it’s easy to make great sounding rhythms. ### 5/5 — Mic Beats *2020-08-25* On mobile Device ### 5/5 — Супер! *2020-06-06* Не идеально, но круто.
