Beat Maker - Sampler

I’d like to try this app, but with every button you press, another ad gets thrown up, or you’re asked to rate it five stars to continue. It’s such an ugly desperation that I just don’t have the patience to wade through all the ads to figure out which options might actually allow me to try them. In this climate of clamoring for subscribers (this is a WEEKLY model that is more than any streaming service I know of), you have to feel you can trust the developers before forking over your info and money, and with an intro like this, I’d be very wary of subscribing or even signing up for the “free trial”. Maybe they’re cool, but it’s too hard to tell, through all the aggressive marketing and deceptive design. The screenshots look good, I guess.

Love the App so Far I’ve been looking for something as simple & direct as this the packs are cool too! To add on I feel there should be a way to delete a loop you don’t like after adding instead of having to start all over again. I’m getting more accustomed so maybe I’ll figure out if there already is a way to do so.

This is just a money grab app that aims itself at newbies who see this come up as the FIRST SAMPLER/BEAT app when they search. Let me say this- IT IS HORRIBLE. If an AUDIO app asks for money on the very first screen chances are —it is not a good one. There are very few subscription apps that are decent. ESP when it comes to beats and sampling. This app has the worst UI. I have seen better UI’s in 1994 on my first Mac. There are so many REAL music making apps for iOS devices that are a one time payment and maybe have some in app purchases on occasion but they are REAL. You cannot import your samples (if you can I didn’t see anywhere to).The ‘sample paks’ are horrible. The ads are whack. You can only use two FX!! Where is the trim? Where is the cutoff? Resonance? Choke? Anything that mimics a real sampler? I didn’t find it. This app is just bad and I don’t know how the App Store put it as the FIRST app you see when you look for a sampler. KOALA. Loopy Pro. Group The Loop. Samplist. There are so many more apps that are REAL and let you use sample packs for beginners or your own samples. They don’t have outrageous subscription prices (3 bucks a week for this?!), they work with other apps, they are stable, and they are RESPECTED! This app is bad. Please grab a $20 apple store card and buy a real app. This is so bad and fake. The samples were so weak and you couldn’t do anything but put a bit of reverb and delay on them. They seriously are going to charge for that? Boo! If you are going to charge kids these prices give them an actual app that they can use.
