BeatMaker 2 for Negative User Reviews

MAJOR FILE SHARING PROBLEM WITH WINDOWSWhen will the conceptors wake up and repair the file sharing problem with soundcloud desktop and sound cloud. I see messages published like 6 months ago, and nothing happens. Very fun to create with, but useless. I'd love to be able to do more editing by transfering my Beatmaker work to my computer, and this would make it a genius app..Version: 2.0

Release beatmaker 3 for iPhoneThis app is good but outdated. Intua promised to release Beatmaker 3 for iPhone but never did. Honestly not understanding why they’re even promoting beatmaker 3 under beatmaker 2 if we can’t use it. Hurry up and release it or stop making false claims about it being released..Version: 2.6.4

Come Again ?!I love this app, and would have rated this 5 stars. Although there is one problem. You're going to tell me that after years of producing music on here, I can't even post it to something like SoundCloud without sounding like crap? Make it compatible with MacBook also please, put the program completely on there so I can organize and post from there. Thank you..Version: 2.6.2

Dropbox still doesn't work!!!When are you going to fix the issue with The use of Dropbox?! It still doesn't work. Both BeatMaker 2 and 3 doesn't work at all. If you did fix the problem, it must apply to all higher than iPad 2, fourth generation. Every time I try to import my folders and files into BeatMaker 2 it just switches to the Dropbox app to the allow screen and when I press allow,it switches back to BeatMaker 2 App and the Dropbox column never shows up anymore like it use to before the release of BeatMaker 3. The BeatMaker 3 App just never loads up at all so I can import my folders and files. The square icon just does the glow animation and never loads up at all. Why I liked these apps was because I would make my samples on my computer software Acid Pro 7, then send my samples to Dropbox, then import them into BeatMaker app and make my projects. Now I can't do that anymore because the Dropbox feature is still not working. I'm sure it must work for iPad Pro users, but I don't have a Pro yet. Can you please fix this problem for iPad 2, fourth generation use please?.Version: 2.6.4

Nothing Like iPad versionI was so excited to find for my iPhone the same app I LOVE on my iPad. This is NOT the same app though. The workflow is so stunted it’s difficult to learn and use. There’s no fluidity in uploading samples from your files section. I’m honestly outraged that I spent $12 on what’s essentially a worthless app. I’m curious if the people who designed this have ever actually given it a real world test. Whatever you do, don’t download this app. You’re better off using a free app to sketch an idea and get to some proper equipment later..Version: 2.6.4

Definitely a favourite. Solid & very good Music Production appIt is 2017 July 15th and where is BeatMaker 3? Why tell people a release date and not stick to it? What time today will it be available? And why didn't you tell us the Full details if you wasn't planning to make it available from after 12 midnight or 3Am the latest? Why make half of us wait a full year before informing us what iPads BM3 will be compatible for? That's Rude/Wrong! Where is BeatMaker 3/BM3? When is it going to be available for purchase? I feel to take stars off of my BM2 review because INTUA could be better with their customer service and curtesy and care! Because they should be the first to let us know details of availability and information of issues and hold ups! I will remove stars later on depending on how long they leave me waiting before they release the goods. And or explain the hold up?!! 👎 BeatMaker 2 is a very good Music Production app. It has most of the tools you find in a DAW It is very powerful and great for all music. And easy to use once you get to grips with the workflow. This app is serious piece of equipment along with your iDevices. Great App still going strong works well with other apps. 👍.Version: 2.6.2

So-so...ENGLISH FOLLOWS Moins user-friendly que BeatMaker 1. Tant d'options que c'est presque trop, à mon avis. Mais le principal probllème, c'est qu'il déstabilise mon iPhone 4 si bien que je dois redémarrer mon appareil après chaque usage de l'application. Bref, c'est un beau produit, plein de possibilités mais il a besoin d'améliorations. BeatMaker 2 is not as user-friendly than BeatMaker 1. Too many options in my opinion. But the real problem is that BeatMaker2 creates bugs in my iPhone 4 so I need to reboot my device each and every I use the app. Conclusion : good product, full of promises, but still needs improvements..Version: 2.2

The UI is impossibleThis app is packed with music power, but the UI makes it feel like you're navigating a maze. It has so much potential, so much power, and so many sounds and effects, but it's nowhere near as easy to use as Garage Band. I'd prefer to use this for all I can do with it, but I hate the menus and navigation..Version: 2.4.8

MIDI sync broken, no support from IntuaMIDI clock sync to other apps does not work - so no recording of drum machines, arpeggiators, sequencers etc over Audiobus. Raised support ticket with Intua over two weeks ago - no response at all. Discussions on the official forum with other users having same issue, again no response or acknowledgement from Intua. No hope of getting a refund. App clearly not functioning as described but if developers will not respond to emails what can you do?.Version: 2.4.5

No bm3 on iphone,Bm3 on iphone would be a game changer..Version: 2.6.4

Not worth the priceLackluster DAW. Poor samples, crappy effects, no fades and NO AUDIOCOPY!!! The audio editor is so bad. Controls are cumbersome. This is more like a $5 app, especially since you have to pay so much for somewhat decsent sounds. If you're looking for something pro on your ipad, get Auria. At least add audiocopy to make it worth peoples while and fix the crashing with interapp audio..Version: 2.5.4

App won’t openI have to delete app and re download everytime I try to use it my phone is updated and the app is also.Version: 2.6.4

HmmmmMixed review of this one! A good app and does most of what it says on tin, only two things, doesn't fit the iPhone 6plus screen. It kinda uses 4 inches of it. Not good! Intua really had a great opportunity for a nice update for those of us with the bigger screens! Also as one other person mentioned, the in app purchase restore feature doesn't work at all!! Also wouldn't it be good to add a good synth to it?? Intua, don't fall off! Get on it and sort it!! Otherwise, not a bad app! Chris the barber, Nottingham :) hh.Version: 2.5.6

🙄Really!!!!!🤨ok Ok OK soooooooooo I am assuming nobody over there thought BeatMaker 3 should be out by now on the iPhone?..... Come guys you’re killing me 😡.Version: 2.6.4

FrustratingBeatmaker 2 has the potential for brilliance, the fully interactive manner in which you can work with samples etc is indeed wonderful. But, and its a big but, the incessant Dropbox problems let it down considerably, and this is what sadly doesn't allow it to soar to greatness, or allow it also to be taken seriously by the proffesional market. Yes, it has the capacity to work with iTunes, but who has the capacity to store hundreds of Wavs on that application? I specifically reference Wav's as MP3's are not appropriate in this context. I have a paid for Dropbox account which reflects my large sample library in its entirerety, however after four months of technical support enquirys Intua could not solve the problem. Very frustrating indeed..Version: 2.6.2

CrashesWaste of money. Constantly crashes.Version: 2.6.4

BM2After being a BM2 owner for a number of years I am a bit disappointed that the BM3 is not offered a a discounted price. I’m not saying we to get it free but it would have been a nice gustier for existing customers be offered a discount.Version: 2.6.4

Not worth the moneyPreset sounds are joke. 800mb of pure garbage. It reminds of 30 year old Casio keyboard..Version: 2.5.9

Crash after crashAnd I'm not talking about sound fx! These 5 star ratings must be from developers because this app is FAR FROM PERFECT. CRASHES CONSTANTLY on my iPhone 4! I find myself saving after every change so I don't lose my work. Would have been nice to have a demo version to try instead of me shelling out $24AUD only to find out it has MAJOR STABILITY ISSUES. Will change my rating if improvements are made. . . Anyone else having issues please SPEAK UP so we can get an update that fixes this thing. --------- Follow up: Exchanged my iPhone 4 yesterday because it froze, and thought I'd give Beatmaker 2 the benefit of the doubt and try using it again. Loaded all of 2 drum pads before CRASHING. I'm not going to bother with this app until I see an update. Leaving my rating at 1 STAR till then. What good is all the other flashy stuff if you're just going to lose all your hard work. If you have purchased this app, RATE IT..Version: 2.0

Still crashes!Although this app has served me well in the past few years, the crashing is a huge let down and disheartening when you have put time and effort into a project!! The AIFF editing crash has been resolved which is great but now it crashes just when I have finished slicing samples and converting into a Preset file. Please fix these issues or hurry up with the release of a crash-free BM3!!! Great work in general though guys 👌🏼.Version: 2.6.2

Just bought itPlease let me have access to store in BeatMaker 2 there is nothing there 12 bucks for nothing I have beat maker 3. It would be nice to have update to beat maker 2 I’m not gone ask for money back just update make it smoother there’s no store content take it down instead of having us pay for app. By the way beat maker 3 is nice app keep it coming.Version: 2.6.4

Samples and presets are garbageI'd love to use this app, there's a lot you could with it, but the presets are just brutal. The presets also don't have any effects applied, that's left up to the user. Do you're basically starting from scratch creating any kind of synths or samples. If only they hired someone to build a nice group of preset instruments, it Spurs be a useful program. Unless you have your own sample library of quality sounds, skip this app..Version: 2.5.9

Nearly very good, let down by midi supportBadly needs its midi updating, as it simply doesn't play we'll with other apps, and you can't control it from a external controller very well. Any delving reveals numerous bugs that really should be fixed, especially given the price..Version: 2.4.2

Good potential,Disappointed at the fact this has altogether stopped working on my iPad and there is no discount for BM3, I would have snapped it up but don’t feel valued as a customer. Software wise it’s great, and I recommend. I just feel cheated and won’t be spending full price for next edition.Version: 2.6.4

It's not great on the iPhone 6sIdk why but mine is extremely laggy. Feels likes I’m playing on a Bluetooth headphone mean while I’m not using one lol other then that problem it’s fine and works as it should.!!.Version: 2.6.4

Where’s beatmaker 3 for iPhone??Been waiting forever.Version: 2.6.4

GARBAGEThe actual sounds on this are HORRIBLE, very very very poor quality. to charge $20 for this is a JOKE. I want my money back..Version: 2.1.2

ITunes import crashes appUsed to love this app but following updates to either the app and/or iOS and/ or iTunes it now crashes without any message whenever I try to import a song. App is now completely useless to me. Should have invested in crypto instead. Oh well..Version: 2.6.4

Can’t download purchased sound packsI own all three BeatMaker versions and purchased almost all the sound packs for BeatMaker 2 and BeatMaker 3. I only own an iPhone right now and BeatMaker 3 isn’t available for iPhone. BeatMaker 2 doesn’t have any of my previously purchased sound packs available for download anymore. The store just isn’t there. I’d love a solution or a refund..Version: 2.6.4

Very disappointingVery excited when I saw this update. Both this and nano have been crying out for iPad support.. BM has got there first but it feels very rushed and in parts broken. The samples are squashed the top right corner an don't even match on the pads. Bad.. The general UI feels just like a stretch iPhone, which it obviously is and just doesn't feel right. The icons for instruments etc are still iPhone size and the full size ones just feel wrong.. Shame, I have struggled with these apps on the iPhone and was looking for more than GB on the iPad.. Please update... And I'll edit the rating...Version: 2.1

Good but badReally good when makeing music.. Just for yourself. Cant upload to soundcloud, or anywhere else. Dosent conevrt to mp3 ..Version: 2.5.4

New Updates Ruined ItThis app was the best ever until 14.0 came out. Now it crashes when I load certain songs. It also crashes when I try to edit multiple pads at once, or multi-task. It looks like Intua is leaving this app for dead..Version: 2.6.4

So cheesySorry guys I really wanted to like this and paid the money for the full version but this app is just not very good. First of all it does not come with any sort of tutorial which thankfully is OK for me because I've had the good fortune of using a lot of high-quality apps and was able to figure thisout pretty quick, but The user interface and workflow is poor at best like garage band. if you were not a serious musician and haven't spent the time finding and playing around with those rare high-quality apps out there then you might not know enough to realize this is junk and consequently you may love this app. If that's the case then go ahead and put on your Nickelback T-shirt and make your elevator music!!.Version: 2.6.2

ITunes sharing / drop box don't workCannot import samples through iTunes sharing or drop box anymore..Version: 2.5.6

Lost everythingWas getting on ok with this app. The screens are a bit cluttered and the touch response on some of the controls is not very accurate. The real problem though is when I lost 12 hours of work, after opening one of the demo songs to have a look and then exited. BM2 overwrote my composition 'temporary' file and didn't even warn me. Lost everything! Not seen a program without file save warnings since the early 90's. Come on, please fix this in next rel..Version: 2.3.1

SoundfontsThe app would be a lot better if you were able to use sf2 files :/.Version: 2.6.4

How about a free upgrade guys?This app is massive and I really feel gipped that a better smaller app came out only a few months after. How about an Amnesty for all Beatmaker 2 users, huh guys?.Version: 2.6.4

Crashing like other recent reviewsLots of static and midi keyboard doesn't work when trying to run other apps using BeatMaker's sequencer. That's too bad because I love the sampling capabilities of this app. I will delete and reload to see if it works but based on other recent reviews, chances are slim that it will work. I hope the creators of BeatMaker are reading this..Version: 2.6.2

Glitchy keeps crashingWon’t stay open for more then a few minutes . Just paid for app that don’t work and just crashes Please fix this iPhone 7+ uninstalled and reinstalled numerous times same problems.Version: 2.6.4

Bug fixes neededBrilliant app but some major flaws. It can crash a bit if you don't clear up you multi tasked apps. My main issue is I cannot save! I cannot import from iPod either. I think perhaps I'm on iOS 4.3 and the app is not yet fully compatible. I've emailed support with no reply. This is a pretty major flaw... I can only have one beat and can't export or save. Once this has been fixed it's more likely a four or five star app and worlds above the last one. Not being able to use functions is a major issue right now though..Version: 2.0

Realy not proThe first thing that you can read in the app description is : fixes ipad2 issues. so i should have a nice ipad interface.... I was thinking ; well beat-maker 1 was an already expensive app developed just for iphones and ipods. Now Intua release an other even more expensive app Beat-maker 2 witch at least have an ipad interface. this app should be adapted for the ipad. lets go and download it ! it is still an iphone/ipod app with no ipad graphic integration. This expansive application, hideous on an ipad is too deceiving for this price. on top of that, it crashes all the time. It is not a reliable app if you want to produce and play music.. , useless and far away from the needs of professional peoples. A message for the intua team.. go back to work and make this app work nicely on an ipad if you want to be taken seriously. abbleton is on his way and soon they will hit the app store..Version: 2.0.1

Does not support blue toothThe new update does not support blue tooth which makes program second rate. Fix the problem and it will be a great program again. You do not respond to support with the problem. So cop that..Version: 2.4

Unfortunate.The ideas are there, but are worthless if I continue to lose hours of work to CRASHES. For an iPhone this app is worth 4 or 5 stars without the crashing. However I purchased the iPad purely for mobile music development and this app is clearly deceiving about this. It looks TERRIBLE on iPad, therefore putting your price at a cocky over $20 without the resolution of these issues angers me. PLEASE renew my faith in u guys. FIX these 2 problems Give your customers what they PAID FOR..Version: 2.0.1

Not worth the purchaseThis is great for nostalgia beat making back to the basic similar to Fruity Loops 4 or tapping two pencils on a desk while a friend beat box in the back ground. It absolutely great how they have managed to take out all the distracting things like sound design fx and large sound packs. Genius throwback. I love this app so much even though I purchased this Im gonna delete this from my phone and keep only a memory of this. Maybe the next update will be called orchestra maker with clanging spoons and a washboard. Can’t wait..Version: 2.6.4

Does not work with DropBoxLooks like a great app and the functionality seems solid but it does not work as advertised with Dropbox. I'm sure it is some sort of glitch but this is causing my $20 to go to waste. I look forward to using a functional app. Review will be revised when app is fixed..Version: 2.3.1

BM2 crashes on iPhone.. Wheres BM3Unusable nowadays for iPhone on current iOS. Crashes all the time. Specifically the crashes happen when I select multiple pads and try to do any tune/ADSR tweaking. Still waiting for BM3 on iPhone.Version: 2.6.4

Please update! Long time userI have been using these apps for 4+ years now and all of a sudden, I can’t move any volumes or knobs without the app completely crashing. It stopped auto saving as well, so I have reverted to using other apps which just aren’t as good. I love this app but please update so we can all continue making music!.Version: 2.6.4

BeatMaker 2Why is there no beatmaker 3 for iPhone only iPad??.Version: 2.6.2

DO NOT BUY!!If you are the type to save money and a headache by someone else's experience, let me advise you not to buy this. After about a year of making really cool songs on MusicMakerJam, I decided to switch it up to play around with some different sounds. Bought this app and two sound kits. Sound kit folders are empty! No tutorial on how to use this thing. It's just a mess. Whoever made this app are NOT musicians and know nothing about making music. WANT MY MONEY BACK. But I'm sure these low budget wannabe money grabbing app makers won't ever see the time of day for that..Version: 2.6.2

Can’t restore purchasesWas a great app but I can’t restore my purchases or even connect to the store. Would be 5/5 if I could connect to the store..Version: 2.6.4

WASTE OF MONEY.You can’t set up individual bus tracks in the mixer and you can’t import songs from your library into app to sample. Disappointed with this waste of money called an app..Version: 2.6.4

Ok so this version of beatmaker is now abandoned property now, I get it.I say this because of the beatmaker being a success. To release another version of an intua app. ((( I have been gunnho about such production, very hype!!! ))) It must be this app is flawless with no problems!!! Well with beatmaker 3 u expect sum queasy lil’ bugs dat may need fix. (( no problem. Most new products happen this way. )) but for, beatmaker 2 to crash on the volume knob, the mastering master mix knob and the volume knob in the home mini screen. I find beatmaker 3 crashes with cpu hungry other in audio apps. Ok understandable u have two be reasonable about these thangs as users. But what I describe of beatmaker 2..... I was gonna chop a sample. And then realized I better make the sample sound powerful u know sidechain compression chorus eq the original sample my person made. But two crash dead and have two reopen a few times.... kinda bothered about intua’s development. Sincere.Version: 2.6.4

Not workingIf you're not going to fix it at least offer us a discount for The new version 😡😡😡😡.Version: 2.6.4

Lot of StaticsThe app was fully enjoyable until the latest update which completely scraped the audio. Terrible bitcrushing sound which ruins the experience. This is worth a one star until the issues are fixed..Version: 2.6.2

Dead App and ZERO SIGHT OF BM3 for iPhoneThe store doesn’t work and they haven’t updated the iPhone version which is strange considering iOS 13 is already being tested. I contacted support for a update on the iPhone port of BM3 since I have a iPhone XS Max 512. The answer shockingly was we are working on a December 2018 release. Well that’s come and gone. Now I switched to IMPC 2 Pro and took advantage of 39 gigs of samples/kits I’ve been saving. I might come back to BM if the update for iPhone is ever released. Otherwise it’s officially dead on iPhone. Oh and the sound packs we all bought no longer have access to the store, just a dark void where apple has allowed these A$$Clowns to hide our good money. Thanks for the memories. Boycott Intua/BeatMaker - DO NOT BUY THIS APP!!!!!!!!!.Version: 2.6.4

CANT EXPORT !!I’ve been a very loyal Intua app user. Beatmaker 2 is my most used application amongst all the music apps out there. BUT ALL I ASK FOR IS EXPORT CAPABILITY! I know that Dropbox is supporting BM2 by working with Intua as a 3rd party to export beats but its not working and an error message always occurs when i try. PLEASE FIX !!!.Version: 2.6.2

No sustain pedalUnfortunately, there is a bug with the MIDI and sustain pedal which makes it useless to record MIDI piano performance..Version: 2.4.8

The store doesn't work anymoreI have been using BeatMaker 2 for the last 4 years and recently the store has crashed. I was hoping this latest update would make it to where you could access the store but it still doesn't work. I'm hoping that the next update (if any) would fix this. If not I am going to have to find a different app to make my music on. I would have gave it 5 stars but the store doesn't work..Version: 2.6.4

Very unfortunate UI.I completely agree with Gold Dust, every single last function (in what IS clearly an extremely capable DAW) feels like it requires three extra steps to complete, or three extra menu screens to dive through. Even with slow patience & referring to the manual, i found it almost instantly frustrating. And a GIANT file size... I've had it off my iPad for some time, but I'm going to put it back on to see if it's gotten any easier. I want to like it....Version: 2.4.8

Export IssuesThe program is easy enough to use if you don’t have background in music production. However, every time I export a file, it is compressed to where it doesn’t sound like it does in the app. It sounds messy. Also for purchasing an app like this, I would expect the presets to sound a little bit more authentic than they do..Version: 2.6.4

Promising but in need of midi support and better soundsWith all the excitement around Beatmaker, I simply had to try Beatmaker 2 on my iPad and iPhone. Much to my disappointment though this version does not support native iPad resolutions, though it is perfectly usable in x2 mode. Most annoying though is that there is no coremidi or midi mobilizer support, a major omission. I have heard rumours though that it is planned, once it arrives I am sure I'll be using Beatmaker a lot more in my musical workflow. The interface is good, excellent and snappy. The sounds though are somewhat raw for my tastes, they lack the warmth, expression and finesse that so many other synths and sampler playback keyboards offer and whilst they do great in certain genres, I feel there needs to be more expressive sounds. On the original iPad this app often reports low memory, hopefully though the iPad 2 and iPhone 4 should not encounter such frequent messages. A very nice app although pricey and still in need of additional features to make it shine..Version: 2.0.1

Where’s the sounds I’ve paid for go?Hey. Really love this product and invested in everything you’ve made from beatmaker 2 & up. The problem is that the music projects I’ve done have all been basically deleted because I no longer have access to the extra sounds, beats synths. So what happens to all who has this issue?.Version: 2.6.4

Can't install beatpack samples anymore!I use beatpack to group my samples, then filezilla, says it has transferred to beatmaker, then comes up empty inside beatmaker!, I have to assign the samples individually, it used to work, d'oh!.Version: 2.4.2

DifficultOver complicated, non-intuitive, and frustratingly difficult to get to grips with...hard to recall previous sessions...difficult to manouvre through the GUI and easy to become lost in its procedures......if and when this app becomes easier and more simplified to use, i'll continue using FL Studio Mobile which i think is an altogether more comfortable mobile DAW........the developers should test this app out on the less technical among us before releasing it , and try to keep it simple for gawd sake..Version: 2.3

Another HUGE update - chewing up my data allowanceLook, this is a very good integrated music app, but the size and frequency of the updates is really starting to bug me - the updates are really chewing up my data allowance!!!!.Version: 2.4.8
