BeepBoop vs skippodisk
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
BeepBoop
This application generates unique and complex soundscapes using a modular system of signal processing blocks. It offers a wide range of sonic possibilities, from subtle electronic tones to chaotic, world-ending sounds. The app is designed for experimental sound creation and is not intended for traditional music composition.
- Modular signal processing blocks
- Antialiased oscillator
- Temperature-stabilised transistor-ladder VCF
- Pitch-shifter
- LFO for modulation
- AudioBus compatibility

A strange noise-making device. A collection of blocks of signal processing that document the last few months of my meanderings, wired together to make excessive oddness. Kinda like an iOS monotron, but with the capacity for great evil. Made from circuit models. Structurally, there's an antialiased oscillator, feeding a partially temperature-stabilised transistor-ladder VCF (which can be heated), feeding an interesting old pitch-shifter in full-feedback-fun mode. Plus an LFO for some movement, and AudioBus compatibility. Sounds vary from early Dr Who to world-ending cataclysms. There are no presets because what you hear is determined by more than just the positions of the knobs. It's what you turned and when. There's no MIDI input because it would be entirely out of character; once you hear it, you should understand pretty quick.
skippodisk
This music app simulates the sound of a compact disc skipping and glitching. It offers a 2D slider for controlling delay time and feedback, with options for automatic skipping and silence dropouts to create unique audio effects.
- Simulates CD skipping and glitching
- 2D slider for delay time and feedback
- Automatic CD skipping
- Silence dropout effect
- Comb filtering effect
- Bypass and volume controls

skippodisk is a free AUv3 plugin and standalone app. It features algorithm that imitates compact disc reading errors and adds feedback for some comb filtering. controls: * main control is a 2-dimensional slider that changes delay time / buffer size using value on X axis and feedback (positive and negative, -0.997 to 0.997) on Y axis. This control adds some creative comb-like effect. * algorithm settings: [ auto ] enables automatic cd skipping. [ dropout ] enables adding silence. Use both [auto] and [dropout] with zero feedback value (in the centre of touch control) to achieve the effect of a CD audio glitch * [ bypass ] control and volume control. This slider is in low value state by default.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: skippodisk at 4.9 against BeepBoop's 3.7. skippodisk also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months). BeepBoop's advantage is iOS requirement (7.1 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
skippodisk holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 11 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of BeepBoop's written reviews are positive against 80% of skippodisk's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BeepBoop ships an update every 10 months, skippodisk every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
