Great for chopping up samples! I had an issue with the app when I downloaded it, but customer service answered my email and fixed the bug in their next update. Great support! ### 4/5 — Cool, but crashy. *2017-11-08* Lots of good ideas in this app. Good layout. Good sounds. Update: the devs fixed the app, mostly. I can record now. It’s a very good idea. Much like an MPC in functionality. The slicing is pretty easy and you can slice to pads quickly. 4 banks of 16 pads allows for quite a bit of versatility. Effects are decent, and easy to assign to pads. You can pitch individual pads, or all of them at once, which is nice. Still has a few bugs. Quantization seems to be a tad spotty. Also crashed on me again, but not after recording. Was a different thing entirely. Really needs AudioShare compatibility. Only iTunes is supported currently. Also needs a tune mode so that you can play a sound as an instrument across the pads, like iMPC. Overall, a great idea that is still having kinks worked out. No question it will be worth the price when fleshed out. **Developer response:** Hi Solomon, If you check out the new update we released today, it should fix that recording bug that had something to do with iOS11. We also added a few optimizations so it should be running smoothly. ### 5/5 — Beat slice is nice *2017-01-26* Slicr is the future of beats! Way worth the price for all of the features inside. This is the first app that Ive seen that is this visually intuitive and interesting. You can slice up songs from your phone, edit and add effects then dj and arrange the loops and add effects while exporting!! I have tons of songs on my phone so I can finally sample them. I can see the sample on the pads so I know which ones are drums and samples. I would like some kind of ableton feature. Looking forward to more updates. ### 4/5 — Nice beginning, looking forward to updates *2017-01-25, version 1.03* congrats! I'm friends with the homies at Today's Future Sound & I think this will have great potential to use as a teaching tool. I'm already thinking of curriculum for it ;). Thanks for listening to the comments about issues with the app on the launch, it's always great to see devs listening to the users to improve their app. Definitely a good look. It tells us that your invested in making this better! It's a nice app & I look forward to using it more. Blessings. ### 5/5 — Sick beats and awesome sounds *2017-01-21, version 1.03* Slicr is all I use now for beats. It let's me slice my music library which I have been collecting for years. I have lots of old songs that I can now use in my beats and mix it with MrCarmack and Decap drum sounds. I look forward to more features!! Thank you developers!!! ### 5/5 — slicr your way to fat beats! *2017-01-19* Slicr being a new app is pretty amazing, even for its beginning stages. It's the only sampler made for live beat creation that shows the waveforms during performance, making it easy to understand what you're going to play before you play it! The effects are useful and the stock library has tasteful sounds. There are a few things I would want the app to have but I'm sure they'll have some great updates in the future judging by their already unique interface. For $5 it's well worth it for a live electronic performer ### 3/5 — Very dope with much potential *2016-12-28, version 1.01* I highly see this all going somewhere but I honestly would love a step sequencer to edit drum samples when making a drum loop . Keep up the work and I look forward to updates hopefully sooner than later also please fix the issue where you can't hear loops that you recorded while recording a new loop . Kinda makes it useless. ### 5/5 — Best app for Beats!!!! *2016-12-20, version 1.0* This is a must have app for anyone who love to make beats and DJ!! Grab this now! S/O Beat Shop Labs!! ### 5/5 — Dope DJ app! *2016-12-19, version 1.0* Slicr is a super cool app for beatmaking and DJing! Hip kits of drums, synths, and samples laid out over a 16 pad, 4 pad bank MPC style sampler. You can create and save your own kits, sample from iTunes, record and arrange songs, and DJ with advanced FX. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — DO NOT AND I REPEAT DONOT BUY THIS GARBAGE APP *2023-09-12* It’s a waste of time and money if you want to make music outta samples. If you take my comment down give me back mi 2 measly fiat notes…🤞🤞🤞✅🙏🧐 ### 1/5 — Can’t not import sound from my own library *2019-06-04* Fix please **Developer response:** Are you trying to import through our DropBox feature, through our iTunes Music library, or through the iTunes File Sharing feature? You can read how to import in the Slicr Manual: http://bit.ly/2pJBCan ... Otherwise, please send us an email at beatshoplabs@gmail.com and we can help you figure it out. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2019-03-02* I just wanted to use this app to slice songs but every time I try to load a song from my music library, the app just hangs. The UI is very unpolished and unintuitive. Waste of money. **Developer response:** Hi nesguru, We heard your comments and feedback! Please check out our latest update and see if the app still hangs! Email us at info@beatshoplabs.com if you have any more feedback. ### 1/5 — Total Love/Hate *2018-12-30* I love what they say this app can do. I hate that I never get a chance to use because it crashes, crashes, and more crashes. After choosing sounds it crashes, load a sound it crashes. Please help me understand why I would make such a awesome app but not fix it so I can use it. I really want my money back!! **Developer response:** Hi Soultent, Thanks for the feedback and love. Please check out our latest update and see if the app still hangs or crashes. We thank you for your patience and enthusiasm! Email us at info@beatshoplabs.com if you have any more feedback. ### 1/5 — Fdup *2018-06-27* The app is maybe not so bad. But you can’t export your projects into other apps. **Developer response:** Try the new version of the app! You can export audio and directly copy it into other apps that support it. ### 1/5 — Crashes every time *2018-06-26* I slice something and go to export to pads and it crashes everytime...it's worthless to me now....wasted $5 **Developer response:** Hi TippinTy, We fixed the crashing bug. Please let us know if you are experiencing any more crashes or bugs after this update info@beatshoplabs.com so we can fix it as soon as possible. ### 1/5 — Crashmatic *2016-12-20, version 1.0* App is crashing already. ### 2/5 — Still crashy. Don’t waste your money *2020-12-18* Still... Not joking when I say I think I managed to get one decent session in with this app in the year or longer I’ve owned it. Other than that One decent session, it’s just been crash, crash, samples not loading, crash, crash. Not a very good value when you do the math. I just tried again tonight, no better. I’m running a 2018 iPad Pro up to date - it’s not on my end. To see the dev patting themselves on the back for “keeping it updated for us” is laughable. It never worked in the time I’ve had it and it hasn’t had an update in over a year now so..... #abandonware Then again, I’m the ding dong who is fell for buying all the addons from this train wreck of a bug fest. Try beta testing your product next time or don’t bother ### 2/5 — Could be a lot more than it is if it were just properly debugged *2018-04-28* Seems like it could do a lot if it didn’t crash every few minutes. Also a lot of boneheaded oversights; for example, after giving access to everything it asked for, it said it didn’t have access, and to check the settings. What settings? There is no settings option on the menu. If you're going to charge people for your software, that makes you a professional, so act like a professional and debug this mess. ### 3/5 — Improvements Needed *2019-04-16, version 1.1.9.9* First, I would like to see a reverse fx added. (Flanger, filter, maximizer, saturation are all welcomed fx, as well. If too complicated to make great sounding fx, open your app up to allow users to use their own choice of fx apps to manipulate sounds.) Next, please make this UI more user-friendly. For instance, the “tutorial/help” button should be on top of every page. Users workflow is interrupted with way too many windows of having to backpedal to search for particular sounds. Please add a search bar to find sounds quicker. In GarageBand’s loop section, their sound library section is a good reference. Would be nice if we could access Spotify in the app, but I understand that may be complicated, legal-wise. Please allow AudioShare app, though, because there should be no legal issues related to it being accessed in this app. Lastly, there is no “Send” button to send questions after typing in your questions/concerns window and the email address does not work. I look forward to seeing improvements and thanks for considering suggestions of your users. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Does it work with music editing software? *2020-08-20* Can I use this as a midi in FL studio? ### 5/5 — Wow I’m surprised *2019-10-22* I looked at this and took a jump at it with no reviews or anything and actually found the best editing app, it’s got everything and it’s just perfect for my music, thank you so much this is absolutely wonderful ! ### 5/5 — Super dope Maschine-like beat app *2019-07-03* If you need to sketch out your musical creations and you’re more sample based, Slicr is your go to app. Makes it super intuitive to make sick beats fast - and the provided stock samples are better and more relevant than anything else on the market My only complaint would be - Knxout has to come thru with that guest mix dawg. It’s literally been 6 months you’re killing me 🐠 ### 5/5 — Slick and slicey *2019-06-05* Slicing part of app is great. UI is easy enough to use for slicing and the sequencing is a little weird but got the hang of it real quick. Developers I would like to see more ways to import **Developer response:** Hello Roger Phantoms! Thank you for the support - were working on some exciting new features soon that we think you'll love. Thank you and happy slicing! ### 5/5 — Good beatz *2019-06-05* The app is cool I think it could use some kind of pattern sequencer with steps and better audio recording but it's good for slicing samples from your phone to get some good ideas going quick. I want to see more effects and more ways to slice other than the 3 modes. ### 5/5 — Great ideas and good sounds *2019-06-05* the sounds in this app are amazing. the ability to continue to expand your sound library with itunes and randomize features is great. I love being able to download my audio samples through dropbox too. fun app. made a few nice sounding loops so far. hope to do more and waiting for more updates! ### 5/5 — Fun cheap and jammable *2019-06-05* This app is a great buy and is so jammable. I love the new kit randomization feature so I can get slicing super quick. The Carmack sounds are really nice. ### 5/5 — Son of SP-404 *2019-05-12* As a prolific user of beat making & music apps, I’ll say there is no app in the store that combines the sampling + chopping workflow, pad-based beatmaking, and great factory sample library of Slicr. Many of the bugs that were present in earlier versions have been ironed out. Keep up the great work plz! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2019-04-12* Been playing around with this app and I am amazed at how powerful it is! You can sample anything from your iTunes library, as well as record live samples and chop them up on the spot! This app is great for being creative on the go! ### 5/5 — Cool app easy Slicing and Chopping for ideas *2017-12-17* I’m using this app to create beat ideas really quickly. It fits into my workflow well for getting ideas out. The built in sounds are great but the iTunes feature helps also! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
