But... *2025-09-21, version 1.4.2* I love this app, but I hate how it will randomly shutdown in the middle of a gig. I have even made tracks for a gig, but when I played them live the beat was drastically different than what I made. Frustrating because it can be the best one out there, but... ### 2/5 — Tempo is inaccurate *2025-01-17, version 1.4.2* I noticed that the tempo varies by as much as 15bpm at 155 or so. In addition to that (after 3 years of creating loops)one day 75% of my work was lost!!!After 4 days of trying I have given up. Disappointed ### 4/5 — Can’t open in logic *2024-11-18, version 1.4.2* Happy to see th updates just need to ba able to link to logic or open as a insterment please and thank you ### 2/5 — Se cierra y se satura *2024-10-03, version 1.4.2* Se cierra y presenta fallas recurrentes la verda yo quiero mi dinero de vuelta por que barata no es y por algo que no funciona correctamente es caro el costo ### 3/5 — It is what it says it is… with caveats *2022-04-30, version 1.4.2* The app runs as they describe, though their use of language is… vague. The app hangs on certain tasks (using iPad 11” M1(2020)). For example I can’t sample things more than once. Once the recording for the second is done the app hangs and crashes. Overall it’s good at doing it’s stock things but it’s hard to sample things when it’s very limiting. ### 3/5 — Please UPDATE THIS APP *2022-01-12, version 1.4.2* 🎛 needs update for crashing importing and exporting ### 1/5 — Great when it works *2021-08-07, version 1.4.2* Bought this to work with my Akai mpd218. When it works it’s great, but it crashes a lot, and stops working completely a lot. Very frustrating, first time user of any Akai products and very disappointed. ### 1/5 — Not possible to export to computer *2021-05-08, version 1.4.2* Buyer beware! The export functionality relies on the desktop iTunes “Apps” section which has been removed from iTunes a long time ago. And iCloud is not supported. So basically you can’t export the stuff you created. ### 4/5 — Duda! *2020-09-23, version 1.4.2* Impc es compatible con un akai mpd26? Gracias. ### 4/5 — Läuft gut *2020-09-19, version 1.4.2* Habe die app produktiv innerhalb der tabletop app am laufen und bin damit recht zufrieden. Wer jetzt nicht den wahnsinn erwartet ist damit sicher gut bedient. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work correctly anymore. *2020-09-08, version 1.4.2* All the samples are playing back at 1/8 their original speed. It clearly needs to be updated or taken off the store. ### 4/5 — Nicht PERFEKT, aber... *2020-06-17, version 1.4.2* WAS ERWARTET IHR von einer unter zehn Euro App? Euer echten Akai Sampler ersetzen? Seriously? Was redet Ihr von midi clock und import/export? Come on, people... Für den Preis und BEVOR man einen echten Sampler kauft und ein bisschen damit üben kann oder mal ab und zu Spaß haben (in speziell wenn an verreist), IST DIE APP 👍 ### 1/5 — Argent , toujours Argent *2020-05-29, version 1.4.2* Retronym, vous êtes trop gourmand , quand vs avez la IMPC pro 2 et que vous vouliez jouer sur l’iPhone il faut re payer ?!!! Ensuite vous devez acheter la mpc classique pour avoir les sons et la vous ne pouvez pas les retrouver sur audio copy ( vous pouvez les sampler et les envoyer sur audio copy seulement un par un , bonjour la galère ) alors que vous avez payé, par contre vous pouvez ENCORE acheter des sons moyennant 100 mo de sons contre environ 6€ en moyenne , vous poussez trop le bouchon et c’est une particularité qui est votre , chez les développeurs , je trouve ça très sincèrement vraiment pas très cool , vous pensez trop aux profit . Beaucoup trop , ### 1/5 — Very Poor effort *2020-05-14, version 1.4.2* .. ### 1/5 — Bugs *2020-03-19, version 1.4.2* Track control doenst work ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2020-02-22, version 1.4.2* I don’t usually write reviews, but felt compelled to review this app after using it many times. While using the app, it will frequently crash to the home screen on my iPad. While making a beat, I have begun to notice that the app will sometimes rearrange my hits without me doing anything. It is safe, it just has a mind of its own to change my heads. On the iPhone version that I have, the tempo of my beat is much faster when the headphones are unplugged, even though I have not change the tempo. The correct tempo will play when the headphone jack is in use. This does not happen on my iPad. These features impair some of the functionality. I cannot recommend this app until more bug fixes improving use. Additionally, I’m not sure whether the app will allow importing tracks from device to device. I had to remake all of my beat on my new iPad because I could not figure out a way to export them from my iPhone, and import them into my iPad. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Solo problemas *2025-09-14, version 1.4.2* Se cierra, a la hora de abrirla el tempo es incorrecto y se acelera o se relantiza sin corresponder con el tempo, arreglo o reembolso por favor ### 1/5 — This app freezzzzzzzzzz *2025-01-18, version 1.4.2* This app no work this app is. Bad that went I putting in AUM freeeeeeezzzzzzzzz I can’t used please don’t spend you money this no work ### 1/5 — ständiges abstürzen *2024-05-29, version 1.4.2* Nebst ständigem Abstürzen im normalen Betrieb funktioniert das Samplen lediglich nur einmal dann friert die Aufnahme ein und man kann nicht mehr weiter arbeiten. Am Anfang war ich noch ein Riesen Fan. Mittlerweile hab ich die App gelöscht weil nervig und unbrauchbar Geld zum Fenster rausgeschmissen mit der zweiten Version dachte ich wäre alles besser aber selbst die stürzt regelmäßig ab. Sehr schlecht. Kann man beides nicht empfehlen mein Fazit Schrott ### 1/5 — Not working *2023-09-24, version 1.4.2* Paid for this app and it does not work. Wont open. Cheers for thar. Absolute rubbish, dont buy, abandonware ### 1/5 — Broken app *2023-07-30, version 1.4.2* This app doesnt work anymore i want my money back ### 1/5 — Not working 😡 *2023-06-28, version 1.4.2* This app not working ,Crash app every ### 1/5 — App is Dead *2023-03-30, version 1.4.2* No sound coming out, iPad 10 ### 1/5 — Обман *2022-07-22, version 1.4.2* Покупал версию PRO сейчас скачеть не могу. Просто этого приложения нет. Данного производителя не рекомендую. МОШЕННИКИ ### 1/5 — App keeps crashing *2022-02-16, version 1.4.2* Not sure why there seems to be no support for this paid app it keeps crashing on the iPad and it can make you look like a fool when you try to show a client something. Not pleased ### 1/5 — Kein Bluetooth Audio, kein midi *2021-10-31, version 1.4.2* Beim mir auf dem iPad 8 funktionieren weder Bluetooth Audio noch normales Midi. Ultraschwach. Unbrauchbar. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best update ever *2022-05-27, version 1.4.2* MAJ totale, cette Appli roule comme les véritables premières MPC 80”… Gros son lourd de chez Akai Pro, fonctionnement fidèle aux mpc vintages ! Section d’effets hyper fidèle à l’originale ! Support hyper réactif. PS : ceux qui veulent une app qui fonctionne comme les MPC 2000” je conseille de se tourner vers iMPC PRO2 ! ### 5/5 — Please make the audiobus connection work *2022-03-17, version 1.4.2* Wonderful app but still no interapp connection working ### 5/5 — Problem with app opening *2021-01-17, version 1.4.2* The app ha e problem on my iPad When i try to open it it show to me the drum machine and after a millisecond it shut down it. please Help me to solve . Thanks¡ ### 5/5 — Not the hardware but gets the job done. *2020-10-03, version 1.4.2* I've been using the 2000xl for over 20 years and this a great option for loop making. It won't replace my machine but could be a great temporary substitute in a last minute emergency situation. It's worth the small price as well. Anyone who really uses a real MPC every week would appreciate this for reasons that a regular user would understand. My 2 cents. ### 5/5 — Midi geht! *2019-09-12, version 1.4.2* Geht einfach mal alle midi channels am gerät durch und tadaa! ### 5/5 — i LOVE iMPC *2017-08-31, version 1.4.1* Kind of crazy having a full beatmaker on my iPad. This is a ton of fun to play with. I love that I can do it on the go. Check it out ### 5/5 — Editing on the fly *2017-07-16, version 1.4.1* Is there a way to edit without stopping the music? ### 5/5 — Very good app *2017-06-13, version 1.4.1* It is easy to use, sounds good, and well worth every penny. It is much better than some of the more expensive Maschines available. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — The greatest *2017-06-08, version 1.4.1* A legend in hip hop and a legend on iOS. Solid beatmaking look no further. ### 5/5 — great!!! *2017-03-21, version 1.4* This app is a classic. It's central to my beatmaking. It has all of the soul of the mpc 2000. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
