De MPC Live à MPC One G2, rien n’a vraiment changé à propos du iMPC 🧐🧐🧐. Importer nos Samples directement depuis iMPC sans passer par iTune ou AudioCopy serai la meilleure….pour gagner du temps…. Et dès que tu le force un peut, il BUG ### 3/5 — Besoin de Nouveauté *2026-02-10* Une petite mise à jour s’il vous plaît 🙏🏽. De MPC Live à MPC XL, rien n’a vraiment changé sur iMPC 🧐🧐🧐. Importer nos Samples directement depuis iMPC sans passer par iTune ou AudioCopy serai la meilleure….pour gagner du temps…. ### 3/5 — When is an update coming *2026-02-08, version 2.2.2* To whom it may concern, this app needs a major update. The sound keeps leaving when I’m in the middle of creating a drum track. Overall the app is a great app but the bugs make it a little difficult to perform the task at hand. And I feel we paid a little too much to have these issues. Please fix! ### 3/5 — Ayuda *2025-12-01, version 2.2.2* No me permite abrir samples de otras apps en iPhone, ayuda por favor! ### 4/5 — Áudio picota do nada *2025-09-12* O áudio trava muito , poderia ter a opção de ativar o Full , quando ligo a Mpc element não aciona esse recurso de forma alguma. Me ajuda aí Akai , assim fica difícil ### 2/5 — 有料会員でも曲の一部しかサンプリング不可 *2025-03-27* Spotify有料会員に変えてみましたが、曲の好きな箇所からサンプリングできません。したがってドラムブレイクやドラムがない箇所を探してサンプリングすることができないです。有名曲を真似してスキルアップを考えていましたが叶いませんでした。残念すぎる。 ### 3/5 — could be better.. *2025-02-11, version 2.2.1* i just wish i could import samples from the files app. audio copy is a pain to deal with, and the usefulness of a mobile sampler is kind of limited when you have to tether it to a computer and slog through itunes to use your own samples ### 2/5 — No tiene swing y no trae 4 kits de expansiones *2025-01-18, version 2.2.1* Pues no trae las 4 expansiones gratis que dice me cobra todo los sonidos,no trae el swing MPC ,auto chop en fin un sin número de fallas me siento estafado!! Quiero de vuelta mi dinero!! Yo soy usuario de MPC hace muchos años tengo MPC live,MPC x y MPC 37 y funcionan muy bien…pero el software para celular muy básico ### 3/5 — Lame *2024-12-18, version 2.2.1* They want you to jump through hoops n learn to buy more stuff and download or create other accounts before they give you functional parts of work flow. That would be fine if it was a free app. But it’s not. There were glitches that kept me from getting some of those things. I’m not the smartest guy. But I worked my way through mpc bible. So I don’t think it’s me. ### 2/5 — nearly great but borderline unusable *2024-12-10, version 2.1.9* i just need a way to browse my files and import my own samples. no one wants to use that baffling audiocopy thing. it keeps freezing the app. ### 1/5 — Freezes *2024-11-27* Using some menus freeze the software. No way to continue operation, only way is to quite the app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Screen Freeze *2026-05-30, version 2.5.2* Please don’t charge me for this . Excessive tapping of my screen on a screen freeze made me tap stupidly not wanting to purchase this . ### 1/5 — Save your money *2026-05-28, version 2.5.2* I purchased several kits, copy paste and now they don’t work after a few days. App crashes randomly, all the bells and whistles in a app that does perform the basic functions correctly. ### 1/5 — They should allow gallery and files bc audiocopy iTunes fileshare doesn’t work. *2026-02-10, version 2.2.2* U should really have an upgrade on this app. Like allow files and gallery PLEASEE. I can’t even do my own Qawali songs. ### 1/5 — Spotify’s gone *2026-02-07, version 2.2.2* This was a cool app but the best part about it was the Spotify feature. This no longer works. Save your money. ### 1/5 — Vend du rêve... *2026-01-10* mais trop de bugs ### 1/5 — The app crashes a lot specially with AudioCopy! *2025-12-19, version 2.2.2* Akai should feel ashamed of this app… they make such great samplers and then they allow something like this on iOS. This app is full of bugs specially when you use it along with AudioCopy. Not a pleasant experience at all. Other sampling apps in the market can easily kick this app’s butt. ### 1/5 — Unuseable *2025-07-07* Weird. Seems like someone made a scam app and performs as AKAI. Very disappointed. UI is a nightmare. UNDO doesn‘t work properly. Also it advertises a inter-app sample feature. I can‘t even sample my own videos or sounds from synths that don‘t appear in ther inter-app thingy. Wouldn‘t recommend if you want to enjoy making music ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-12-15, version 2.2.1* This app is garbage and waste of money - not able to import your own files. Akai should be embarrassed they lend their name to this. ### 1/5 — Not useable *2024-12-06, version 2.1.9* Input lag is unbearable on iPhone 15. Do not recommend ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-12-01, version 2.1.9* Possibly the worst app for transferring samples in. Just terrible if you want to use your own samples. Can you get a refund please what a joke ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Boom 💥 Bappin🧨 *2026-07-22, version 2.5.2* Nice ### 5/5 — Cool! The best!!!! *2026-04-18, version 2.5.2* Plz! adaptive Cubasis3. Auv3. ### 5/5 — It’s great *2026-03-27, version 2.5.2* Only problem thirty second samples from Spotify now my Spotify account disconnected somehow I bought music from Apple decides that I cannot finish the university again I stopped using the app (old phone lost or stolen) I have to relearn the mpc so apart from distractions my inexperience maybe evidently shown, due to the circumstances mentioned and how baffled I am to be in a position to create some game changers I’m working with what I got going it’s just I need a mentor that’s had the best of the best mentors to get on dr Dre’s level not to say who’s better or worse simply to carry the torch as j dilla and others would have wanted I’m behind on my trivia and am among the biggest hip hop heads in existence ### 5/5 — Import 하는 법 아시는 분? *2026-03-10* 만족중 잘 쓰는중인데 이게 어렵네요 ### 5/5 — NEEEDS UPDATE *2026-01-03, version 2.2.2* the app is good to use if you know what you are doing, watch some YouTube tutorials and you’ll spend hours creating! The app needs an update it’s not connecting to koala sampler on phone or tablet ### 5/5 — It’s that *2025-11-02, version 2.2.2* Can we get a upgrade update on that old school synth station ### 5/5 — Crash report *2025-06-27* When I load a large 2GB sound file into the pad and press audio edit, iMpc2 for iPhone crashes. ### 5/5 — Question *2025-01-01, version 2.2.1* Can I connect this application to standalone Akai mpc live 2 ??? ### 5/5 — My bad! *2024-10-28, version 2.1.9* I previously dropped a bad review for this app….the faults mine🫢😑😑🙄. It wasnt working because I wasn’t following the directions accurately. I finally finished the iMPC-University tutorial 100% and graduated. This is a dope app. Glad I stuck with it. Its my scratch pad for beat ideas when waiting in long lines etc.; very useful tool. ### 5/5 — Great beat maker *2024-10-01, version 2.1.9* Love the app, made some nice arrangements using packs from the store. This and ableton note seem to be best --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
