The interface is easy to understand. You build your own tone generating systems that move slowly on the screen and link to each element when they get close to each other. This linking process sets up a new tonal or beat pattern. Just select “listen” and watch the demo set-up do it’s thing, or create one of your own. Very unique, interesting, and creative and fun, even if you have no musical talent! ### 5/5 — Beauty *2021-10-17, version 4.0.3* Love this app. ### 5/5 — Truly spectacular *2021-09-06, version 4.0.3* Terrific fun, and surprisingly addictive. And free to boot! ### 5/5 — I don’t even like music *2021-08-21, version 4.0.3* But this app has opened up a whole world of play! ### 5/5 — So sssoothing *2021-03-20, version 4.0.2* So sssoothing! Pintatonics¡ ### 5/5 — Loving NodeBeat for years! *2021-03-12, version 4.0.2* I’m super happy to see NodeBeat getting some updates! Keep up the great work. ❤️ ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Download NodeBeat Legacy if you value your privacy *2021-03-07, version 4.0.1* This new version of the app takes it a bit further and while the old version collected data NOT used to track you, this one collects interaction data that DOES track you across websites and other companies. Very uncool of you to do that, NodeBeat. I’ll stick with your old version that doesn’t sell your users as products, thanks. ### 2/5 — Major issues *2021-03-10, version 4.0.2* You cannot ever access your recordings outside the app. Export to email does not work. The dropbox export only partially works. The UI for recordings is broken..... What gives.... ### 3/5 — I love it but can’t send midi anymore *2021-06-01, version 4.0.3* I love this app to bits, but since the recent update, it no longer sends MIDI when I set it up for that. I hope it’s just a bug that’ll be resolved in an update. ### 3/5 — Request for AirPlay function *2021-04-26, version 4.0.3* I mainly use this app to listen to the music it generates. I wish I could use AirPlay to hear it on my HomePod. I emailed the developer some months ago. Here’s hoping it is added soon. ### 4/5 — LotsaFun *2022-09-25, version 4.0.3* I was able to sync this app to my Bose Mini II SoundLink Mono Speaker. Then I ran the bass frequency thru an old Harmon Kardon pre-amp for some gritty drone sound. People of all ages listed to it and I shared it. Lotsa 🤩 ### 4/5 — Fun and musical but,...... *2021-03-14, version 4.0.2* I totally love this app. Really good for audio clips. I haven’t figured midi, yet, but I haven’t grown tired of Node sounds, so I’m good for awhile. Wish we could integrate with Audiobus better. ### 4/5 — Lol *2021-03-09, version 4.0.1* This is a smart phone. Life is tracked. Lol. Interesting app by the way. I’ll try it out. I’ll keep it if it can be used as an AU ### 5/5 — Super good *2026-02-15, version 4.0.3* It’s super calming and a good music maker! ### 5/5 — Love this mesmerising app *2025-12-03, version 4.0.3* I’ve had this for years and upgraded to the HD version which no longer appears available on App Store and no longer works reliably on my old iPad. No matter - the current version downloaded fine, runs superbly and sounds great. Can listen to it for hours finding a beat and sequence that just works. Really happy it’s still available. ### 5/5 — Playful *2025-02-01, version 4.0.3* Thanks for creating this app . It s fun . I like the sounds . I love it . ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fun,creative *2025-01-15, version 4.0.3* Really cool app. Loads of fun. ### 5/5 — Own your music! *2025-01-12, version 4.0.3* I live how you own everything you make and can make money from using this app legally. ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-05-03, version 4.0.3* I was referred by a friend who uses this app to help kids learn music. my daughter loves it too ### 5/5 — Really good!!! *2023-02-05, version 4.0.3* NodeBeat helped my child learn more music AND create it!! You should try it!! ### 5/5 — Fun, creative and usable. *2022-09-09, version 4.0.3* As a guitarist, I have found it to be a great practice tool, especially for improvisation. Change scale and key function allow me to practice different scales or arpeggios. Enabling node movement enables spontaneity. Randomly randomized. Way more fun than a metronome. 👍🏼 5 stars!! ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-09-07, version 4.0.3* Looks beautiful and makes lovely relaxing music. ### 5/5 — Excellent and Ceative *2022-02-27, version 4.0.3* I love to use this app after 1am in the morning 😄 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
