## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Don’t work it’s frozen

*2023-03-26*

The app freeze can’t be opened at all

### 1/5 — The application hangs on startup

*2021-11-27*

After selecting the ds1250 kit, the application hangs on “loading midi data”. The application is unusable.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2021-06-30*

Doesn’t work at all, won’t even connect

### 1/5 — Won’t connect

*2021-04-15*

Won’t find the drum set via Bluetooth

### 1/5 — Bruh

*2020-01-09*

Didn’t work.   Bruh

### 2/5 — No Spotify song play along!

*2024-05-24*

Need Spotify access for song play like iTunes.

### 3/5 — Lost a feature.

*2023-01-03*

Does not have practice mode like the Simmons drum app. Very frustrating. Please add this on. I was very disappointed the feature is not available on the high end kit. Great tool for teaching my kids timing and coordination. Also this thing has lost screws from Tom sensors I’m on snare #3 and replaced a cymbal already. This being said. Simmons customer service is second to none and have replaced and fixed every issue without question and timely. The best customer service I have ever experienced. Ever.

### 3/5 — SIMMONS

*2021-11-06*

Is not the first name in electronic drums. SDS-4, SDS-5, SDS-8, SDS-9, SDS-400, SDSV and especially the INFAMOUS Digital CLAP TRAP are all classic, unequaled devices that have left the music of their time as well as the music, specifically electronic music, of the future better than it was, or would ever have been without them, but the fact remains that the TR-808 was brought into the world by ROLAND. 

Side Note: I was hoping for a MIDI capable AUv3 device and drum sequencer app loaded with the classic SIMMONS sounds with some analog modeling features and a sampler function…

Maybe in the future

### 5/5 — Bad reviews from people who don’t know what this is

*2022-12-07*

This app does exactly what it supposed to do. You can edit all of the settings and sounds on the Simmons, SD1250, 1200 and 2000 drum kits. Makes it really easy to customize kits create filter settings pitch settings, adjust volumes, or tweak literally everything inside the module. People leaving negative reviews have no idea what they are talking about.

### 5/5 — Very cool sampling feature

*2018-05-23*

I got the app and was able to fly in samples I made on my iPhone. It’s also good for advanced editing on the module. Great interface!
