Не удобно набивать бит. ### 3/5 — Ipad problems *2020-09-23* Hello! I’ve got mpc for iphone, but when i tryin to download it fom ipad i must buy it again.Why? ### 3/5 — Its good but needs fixing *2020-08-19, version 1.4.7* PLEASE CAN U FIX IT? 😤 This was a waste of money but at the same time its good but plz fix it ### 2/5 — Não consigo samplear *2020-04-10* Não consigo samplear nas plataformas de música (Spotify e Apple music) ### 1/5 — Don’t even bother *2019-12-26, version 1.4.7* I should have just went past this and found another app. ### 1/5 — 恶心，出了ipad版pro2，就把pro1下架了。 *2019-11-27* 无良的开发商，干脆别在中区卖了，垃圾！做app可能还行，做生意简直是刁头。pro1现在从已购下载，录的声音全带沙沙声，反正开发者钱赚足了直接不管了。想逼大家再买一次？抱歉，不可能，此类app太多了，没什么是非你不可的。 ### 2/5 — Not that great *2019-11-05* I don’t like that it keeps running in the background and you have to manually close it. No way to string sequences together either. ### 2/5 — Really hard to swipe and it freezes every five minutes *2019-10-30, version 1.4.7* What I said in the title ### 1/5 — Dissatisfied *2019-09-01, version 1.4.7* The app would not allow me to overdub in real time. The action and response of the app is very poor. ### 3/5 — Sampling issue *2019-07-12* I can’t sample anything in my library that’s affiliated with Apple Music. I have the Documents app with tons of songs in there but I just wanna access it! Please fix this! ### 2/5 — What happened? *2019-06-13* Hold mode has stopped working since the last update. When I record it plays back the sample as if it’s set to one shot. Used to have a lot of fun with this but it’s pretty lame that hold mode doesn’t seem to work anymore. ### 1/5 — Absolute garbage *2019-03-27, version 1.4.7* I loved the mpcs & I have owned the mpc1000 when I was a kid. I used to like Akai. When I saw this app, I thought it would be an opportunity to make some great music on my phone. How wrong I was. It’s buggy, unresponsive complicated & cant even do the basics like create programs that can be sliced to all 16 pads. I feel like I’ve been conned out of £3. This app is a joke Akai. Shame on you. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Instead of fixing this version they made a 2nd version *2025-12-19* This version was way better than the 2nd one or at least looks more Akai than the newer version. So many issues that were never addressed on this version and neither on the other one. ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-10-08, version 1.4.7* Just for show you can’t import samples. Saved you some time. ### 1/5 — Son saturé *2025-01-28* Le son est abominable, l’app n’est sans doute pas maintenue depuis trop longtemps. N’achetez pas. ### 1/5 — Hasn’t been updated *2023-10-17, version 1.4.7* This is vastly out of date. UI is very bad. ### 1/5 — Importar mp3. *2023-08-17* Sem compra de dúvidas um dos melhores aplicativos! Não trava, resposta imediata ! Porém estou tendo dificuldade em colocar arquivos de mp3 externos. NÃO CONSIGO MAIS COLOCAR. Sample - Áudio paster. ### 1/5 — no sound on iphone 13, ios 15.1.1 *2021-12-24, version 1.4.7* yup, no sound, tried both air-pods and speaker: nada ### 1/5 — Kein Plan *2021-05-10* Für unerfahrene völlig ungeeignet. ### 1/5 — Can I have my money back please *2021-02-24, version 1.4.7* Need refund ### 1/5 — Love this app but it no longer works properly on newer iPhones. Please update. *2020-05-14* Love this app more then the impc pro just because it looks like a real MPC but it's lacking some features. Please update and add the ability to use more then 4 tracks. It would be great to be able to make more chops then one at a sample. Plus it would be nice to have an option to EQ in the effects. Excellent app for the price but I would have paid more for some extra features. Thank you keep up the great work! ### 1/5 — Полный отстой! *2020-04-28* Купил и через 2 минуты пользования понял что деньги потрачены зря! Задержка очень большая, функций толковых нету! Не стоит она своих денег. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — If you know what to do *2025-11-02* Can we get a synth station upgrade update please ### 5/5 — It’s a MPC lol *2025-09-22, version 1.4.7* Why we not updating the synth station? ### 5/5 — Akai *2025-04-15* Пожалуйста верните - функцию чтоб могли загружать свои семплы , а то раньше было всё хорошо супер всё работало ### 5/5 — Noise complaints *2024-07-21* Hello thank you for making this app available I’ve been using it for awhile now but recently it’s making a really bit crush effect to every pad I touch. It’s unfortunate because I planned on using it as a midi for a project. But none the less that’s my only issue . Still a dope app . ### 5/5 — Well it works in 2022 *2022-11-28* Review said no sound it’s got sound seems to be fully working. Like the old school akai flavor so 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Great App *2020-09-08, version 1.4.7* I love this app. It works great. ### 5/5 — Perfect sampler *2019-09-10, version 1.4.7* 5 stars ### 5/5 — 환불 *2018-09-07* 어떻게해요? ### 5/5 — Please fix this. I need you to, very badly. *2018-06-25* I love this app i really do man but the app keeps crashing and deleting sounds off beats. Please update (more often) bc the last one didn’t help at all. I don’t want to lose all of my work bc of a faulty app. :/ i know y’all can do better ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2018-06-16* thank you so much for updating! I use this to make beats when I'm on the road all the time. it's still not easy to swipe sideways for different menus (it only works when I use my pointer finger and drag the tiny area that has hatch marks specifically), if this function were made easier it would be much easier to navigate the menus. thanks again for this amazing tool of creativity! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
