### 1/5 — Garbage. Not worth the hype. Very buggy app. Terrible customer service and privacy policy.

*2023-01-31, version 3.1.16*

Prior to this being subscription-based, you used to be able to do a 1-time purchase for individual features that you then owned. The dev is allowed to switch to a subscription-based model, but locking people out of the software they already paid for is stealing. When adobe went to a subscription model for photoshop, indesign, etc, people who already paid the several hundred dollars for and older photoshop didn’t get locked out of it, you just don’t get all the automatic updates and new features because those aren’t the ones you paid for…. Im on the 1-week trial now so I could access a mix I made over 5 years ago. Nothing about the functionality of the app has improved in the slightest. They’ve just added some CORNY filters and fx as well as some skins. It is buggier that it was years ago! What a joke.

### 1/5 — App Trap

*2023-01-08, version 3.1.16*

I was an avid user when this app first came out. Even purchased the membership. Few years later what I purchased isn’t valid. Ok far but I’d pay more if there were real changes to the app. Nothing new changed with the features. Only benefit is y’all profit with making the app a subscription membership. That being said please refund me my money. My initial terms and conditions from 2015 that I approved when I downloaded this app does not mention any type of subscriptions 🤷🏾‍♂️. Run me my $4.99 plus NY taxes please 😩. I know y’all sick of me but for real I’m so disappointed.

### 1/5 — SMH

*2022-04-04, version 3.1.11*

I had this app when it first hit the market a couple years back. This was my go to app. before you only had to pay one price to receive all effects. Since then you’ve lost more then half your musical catalogue , you can’t use the app entirely without a subscription. before you could at least dj your own music library not anymore. this five dollars a week is Ridiculous especially since you no longer offer the features that made this app great. “djay” app which is considered the best professional deejay app on the market is cheaper then this just saying.

### 1/5 — This is just sad to see

*2022-01-08, version 3.1.9*

I remember using this app about 6-7 years ago and when i used it, it had loads of good music to be honest it felt like it had every one that i needed to make a party have a good vibe but now, it simply does not have any music that is relative  at all. All the music in pacemaker + is a joke like honestly does anyone really know any of these artist let alone listen to them, honestly i give up you tell us to wait and bear with y’all but come on be real feels like this will never change no one seems to collaborate with this app and all i see is steady decline. 

Just disappointing and sad…

Best of luck

### 1/5 — A warning to others

*2021-11-10, version 3.1.6*

I paid in full for this app and all of its add-ons previously. When I inquired about the removal of my access to an app that I paid for, I was given access to the old version via Test Flight, which has now been taken away as well, leaving me only to subscribe to pieced together half hearted software at an extreme premium. 

My only recourse now is to warn others to stay away. The app could change without warning and remove paid features or further degrade functionality for the same price or even more.

You pay for access to the app. It never belongs to you. If you subscribe to it, treat it as if the features or the app itself could be removed at any moment. Don’t treat it as more than just a fun toy.

It is the first app I’ve ever paid for and purchased all features because I was so impressed. At one time, this was exciting software.

Fool me once…

### 2/5 — Used to be such a fan…

*2021-09-25, version 3.1.4*

I paid for this app back when it was a one-time payment. Enjoyed the features enough and liked showing it off to friends every now and then. Came back one day to find that I pretty much threw my money away since they decided to become a subscription based app. No discount for their early supporters, no new features to justify the insane markup in price. Disappointed in this business model, $4.99 a week is an egregious price for a mixing app of this kind. Maybe one day they’ll attempt to win me back somehow.

### 1/5 — TOTAL BAIT AND SWITCH (And They Know It)

*2021-09-17, version 3.1.4*

So the app opens up, even loads up your songs from Apple Music. And then, it happens. You’re offered to subscribe to Pacemaker+. You decline and you’re back at the song list. Press your song choice again, and it’s back to the ad. At this point, you realize this is a bait and switch. Nevermind they forced people to update without publicly acknowledging the major changes ahead. So disappointed they don’t even offer the regular dj features anymore. I’ll find a replacement app, but nothing will beat it. And regardless of the reply, unless it’s offering your users the ability to revert to just the core app, nothing will be of true resolve.

### 1/5 — Was a great app before subscription base

*2021-07-03, version 3.1.1*

I absolutely loved this app when I original purchased it. I paid a flat fee for Pacemaker and loved it so much I invested more money into it purchasing additional type of effects. Then one day Pacemaker got a update and was now monthly subscription based?  Now if I wanted to continue to use Pacemaker I needed to pay $5 a month.  Apple shouldn’t allow apps be able to suddenly go subscription based. Now the app is useless. Does not work unless you subscribe. All the money I invested into the Pacemaker is gone. Very disappointed.

### 4/5 — What a difference the update made

*2021-06-24, version 3.1.1*

The bug I reported has been fixed. My only real gripe so far is the picture suggestion for tracks on the automation function doesn’t do anything. It would be nice to add to those tracks by tapping the pic just like with the active tracks. The suggested tracks have no functionality other than a pic. Sometimes they pop up on the top bar when you add a track but often times they don’t.

I’ll be giving it the real test this weekend so I’ll. Update and let you know how it goes.

### 2/5 — What is happening

*2021-04-24, version 3.0.6*

I am so sad to say that my Pacemaker no longer works properly and it appears that I am now being hijacked to pay $4.99/week. It worked fine until I began taking the updates.

I paid for this application over 4 yrs ago and put it on my iPad and iphone but when I go to tap the link to restore purchase it does not work.  I am now left with an app that is useless. $4.99 per week is also highway robbery. I have a gig to do in 2 weeks and I am now in panic mode and so terribly sad that supporting them even paying a fee back years ago does not allow me continued usage.  I’ve even sent in fantastic feedback as a deejay and music curator respected the world over for my achievements in the world of soulful dance music. I am one of 11,500 voting members for The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and signed developed and released a body of  of music of 1000 singles and 80 LP’s Licenced signed and appreciated the world over.

There’s no way for me to even contact customer support when the application opens up as well.

Hopefully someone reads this at the company and does the right thing here reinstating my original purpose.
