DM1 for iPhone for Negative User Reviews
✓ Destroys My BatteryThe app itself is really cool, I have no issue with it except I would like to see reverb and to be able to put effects onto single channels. One can do this on the iPad version. I had to delete the app through because it absolutely destroyed my battery. In 8 hours it had managed to zap 38% of my battery with background activity. Why on earth does a simple drum machine need to perform background activity? It's totally illogical. The simplest solution is to just quit the app. But, I didn't use it enough to justify killing what is already an abhorrently weak battery for a smart phone. Fix it and I may be back..Version: 3.3.2
✓ MehPretty good , hopefully more updates in the future :).Version: 1.0.1
✓ Love this app but not working on IPhone XRecently got an iPhone X and opened up DM1. The screen is zoomed in way too far and no way to go into landscape mode. It is unusable this zoomed in..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Doesn't openThis app doesn't open on my iPhone 4... Wtf?.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Crashes when launching.Just updated to 1.1.2. and no longer works. Hope the next update fixes it..Version: 1.1.2
✓ Nearly perfect but...This app is fantastic, its well designed, easy to use, responsive...but kinda useless. You can only use one "instrument" at a time. So youre stuck with 9 sounds and that's it. If they can fix this problem, (same thing goes for the fx), this could be a 5 stars without any hesitation..Version: 1.1.4
✓ Nice kitsGreat kits but needs to be AU3.Version: 4.0.1
✓ Needs MidiThis app needs midi, please add midi just like the iPad version!.Version: 1.1.9.1
✓ I need to know why this app crashes everytime I try to open itThe app used to work pre-12.2, but now it says it will use an older version which crashes the system. I shouldn’t have to update my phone just to use your app when it worked perfectly fine before. And I’m not jailbroken so it’s not that. I’m on 12.1.4. And before I had to restore my phone to its current firmware, DM1 ran fine. Now, nothing. And that’s a shame because I paid for all the extras and now I have to pay for it again for my iPad mini 5. iMPC never gave me these problems. But when this app worked, I used it 20x more than the Akai app..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Good app but have to pay twice for extra kitsI will start by saying this app is incredibly easy to use, as is the iPad version. I didn’t like that I couldn’t use the additional drum kits I’ve already purchased on the iPad with this version without buying them again..Version: 4.0.1
✓ Not workingI purchased this app on the 15th February and it didn't work. It wouldn't make it past the loading screen without crashing (I'm on iPhone 5). I emailed the developer who said they were aware of the bug and an update to fix it would be released soon. Over two weeks later there's no update and the app still doesn't work. I know this is a good app (I've used it on a friend's iPhone 4S) but at the moment it's a waste of £2 and completely useless..Version: 1.1.8
✓ Good but very crashyIt's potentially a great app but crashes heaps and still most times I start the app the sounds don't work and it has to be restarted and killed over and over..Version: 1.1.7
✓ Please fix issuesThe audio is all distorted - drums sound intensely bitcrushed on startup. Tried reinstalling and restarting my phone but still there!.Version: 4.0.5
✓ Almost better than a toyThe interface and many of the sounds are pretty great in a lot of ways. It's highly useable but there are a lot of little ways it could be so much better. It's almost professional quality but not quite. Some features I most want access to: at least 2 effects (isnt that the way it is on iPad version?), a mute button on channels in addition to the solo button already included, channel effect bus sends, reverb, a save button; *the ability to select any sound in the bank on any channel*, maybe even to rename channels; ability to load sample sounds. More sound banks, (I would pay for them), particularly covering acoustic drums and percussion. Maybe I am just looking for a different app. I still use it, but mostly just for fun. The amount of time spent scrolling through individual drum sounds looking for something useful is only barely worth the effort..Version: 2.1
✓ User Kit option?No option to create your own kit. Can’t upload samples. iPhone version at the moment is limited..Version: 4.0.4
✓ Impressive bit of kitOverall I’m very happy with this well thought out app, so much so I have purchased it for both iPhone and iPad. Pretty intuitive in use with plenty of styles and mixing facilities. It’s incredible what such a low price gets you these days. I have been using a Beat Buddy pedal for live use but I can see me loading wav files created with DM1 loaded into my Boss looper - job done!!.Version: 4.0.1
✓ IOS 5Please make a legacy version for iOS 5 so itunes stops bothering me with an update I can't have..Version: 1.1.4
✓ Bugs!!!!!!!!!Latest update introduced 2 bugs; 1) audio is distorted even at default mixer volume. 2) when panning instruments in the mixer, virtually no audio is coming from the left hand side. Please fix these as soon as possible as they render the app USELESS. Here is a very old big that has been around since v1. And still not fixed; When switching between drum kits and saved kits, the volume/pan/length parameters are not updated!!!! When saving a user drum kit the volume/pan/length parameters are not saved either, so when I open a user kit or load a new kit, the volume / pan/ length parameters are carried over from the previous kit. Super annoying, please fix. This app had won a design award but it consistently riddled with bugs, otherwise it would be so good!!!.Version: 2.2
✓ MIDI brokenWith the new V3.0 update the midi send and receive no longer works..Version: 3.0
✓ Unusable - Timing is wobbly, inaccurateWhen you open the app for the first time, then solo the HiHat track, you can hear the timing isn't accurate. It changes and wavers over time. I don't know what they're using for a timing system, but this sounds really bad and it makes it irritating to make music with when my ears are constantly picking up the timing wobbles. Ideally this would be sample accurate, but if that's too CPU intensive, then at least something better than the current system. There also doesn't appear to be a way to record any changes made while using the XY pad in effects. You also can't edit the level/pitch, etc over time like you can in the iPad version. I hope they change/fix these things. Be happy I change my review..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Doesn’t work anymoreIt doesn’t fit in the screen since newest update I paid for this and it’s my fav app ever Fix it!!! Please haha.Version: 4.0.6
✓ App doesnt work ios 12Stooped working just get black screen so sound no visuals..Version: 4.0.1
✓ OSX=😄 iPad 1=😄 iPhone 6=😒No automation??? Why not?!? This makes it not a full on experience and CRIPPLES an otherwise excellent product! Also, can we have a "Save" button, instead of just having any change you make saved? Ive lost a lot of great beats because it will open on the last project, and I will create something new, which will automatically overwrite the previous one, unless I tell it to "new project". Every music app has a save feature, this just assumes whatever changes you make as saved. Terrible method.... **Edit/Update** I hate to say this, cause this app isn't really all that bad, but every time I use it, I like it less. I was quite excited to see an update finally arrive, but bummed that it didnt really change much, or add any real features. Audiobus is nice, as is In App Audio. 12 new drums is like getting the interior of your car detailed, when you actually need an oil change. Can we have automation? Can we have multiple effects? Can we have an easier, more user friendly method of saving??.Version: 3.4.1
✓ Doesn't work.IPhone 4S. iOS 5.1 Complete rubbish. Application will not launch. I want my money back..Version: 1.1.1
✓ DM1 not working!Drums are distorted, unusable, I have iphone 5s Great program otherwise..Version: 2.2
✓ Don't buyI brought this and no audio comes threw my speakers at all audio works fine before going into the app then the app doesn't play audio and then my phone doesn't so pretty disappointed with the app need to fix it so it runs with iOS 8.Version: 2.1
✓ Latest version eats the batteryWhile not active in the background it killed my battery in 3 hrs. As a big fan I’m a but disappointed..Version: 4.0
✓ Timing timing timingA drum machine without steady timing is a massive FAIL. If you value OTT graphics to regular timing then this could be for you. If you have ears then the sloppy timing will drive you mad even on a new 4s ! Sorry to say it is useless as it is. Focus needs to be on audio side not gfx, come on, finger out!.Version: 1.0
✓ Almost greatThis thing is really great for quickly putting together rhythms for demos. HOWEVER, the limited functionality compared to the iPad app really makes this not worth buying. Why remove the option to change the time signature and step count? I don’t only want to write songs in 4/4. Please add these features to the iPhone app..Version: 4.0.1
✓ MediocreAbleton Link would infinitely improve this app. Link has quickly become a must-have feature for music apps, but for drum apps it's an absolute essential..Version: 3.3.1
✓ IOS 6 required?I don't want to be a douche but I'm rating this app 3 stars; 3 because ever since I play with this app on a friend's iPod a got hook by how amazing, simple and well-looking was to make music with it. I was hoping to cross the border this weekend and make me with one of those 10 dlls iTunes gift cards to buy this app, and yesterday I almost sht bricks when I saw it went free! Only to find it now requires iOS 6 to run... You can't get 5 stars when you force me to have the worst iOS to use your app. Why is it necessary, can't it be compatible with the previous OS like it was befor the update? I really want to use this app but I'm not willing to "upgrade" my OS just for it. Haven't you see the new iPod app? it's 💩 😣.Version: 1.1.4
✓ Not sized for the iPhone 12The developers did not resize the app for the iPhone 12. Many of the buttons are off screen with no way to get to them. Typically they check functionality on all platforms before releasing. Fail..Version: 4.0.5
✓ Review of DM1Nice little app. Love my iPad version. When u play around with it you really get a bit out of it..Version: 1.1
✓ This new update is not an update at allThis app used to work completely fine and I actually just decided to use it for a performance I'm about to do and I have plenty of patterns saved onto it and after an update now it doesn't work at all on an iPhone 6s. How is it that this app has just been updated if it doesn't work on one of the newest iPhones on the market?? Surely you guys can't be expecting everybody to go buy an iPhone 7 just to use one app. Also this app is not free so this is completely unacceptable, I'm expecting this to be fixed very soon.Version: 3.7
✓ Needs a little workI recently purchased the $9.99 version and downloaded it to my new MacBook Air only to realize it doesn't have the "swing" beat function the free version use to have. Most all my songs have some sort of swing and now I can't get them to sound in the pocket like I want. Also the app plays the beat but stops visually showing(following) then pads get stuck and don't respond. I have the relaunch the app to start over. I'm hopeful these issues ca be fixed with an update. A few new acoustic kits would be nice for paying customers as a bonus. Thanks..Version: 3.0
✓ Not goodWasted of money it won't even work.Version: 1.0.1
✓ IPhone 5 optimized tolexI like DM1, but the claim that this update is optimized for the iPhone 5 by adding faux tolex on the top and bottom of the standard display is a pretty silly claim. How about using that real estate for some actual functionality like larger pads, moving the instrument selection buttons on the Steps view from the side to the top/bottom allowing for a larger steps workspace, or more FX displayed on the XY Pad instead of having to scroll, more visible slots on the Song view, etc.?.Version: 1.1.4
✓ Oh manI was really looking forward to this update as if it weren't for some of the little bugs it is the best drum machine out there- period (I have bought a lot of them!). And the distortion on the pads is sorted, but...the tempo still gets speeded up when playing a track through IAA into GarageBand. Frustrating..Version: 3.0
✓ CrashCrashes on startup, anyone else experience this? Iphone 4. Emailed fingerlab and was told to wait for an update.. awesome.. wouldnt have bought it if iI had known.Version: 1.1.1
✓ Many thanksI’ve been waiting for this, and it’s very promising. Thank you to the developers. I’m hoping for at least 3/4 and 5/4 time signature capability. The addition of a tap tempo would likewise be really helpful. Interaction between open and closed hi-hats would be the icing on the cake. Thanks again..Version: 4.0.1
✓ BewareBeware i bought this and then realised that my ipod didn't have the right software you need ios 5.1 DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Great drum app, but...I love the functionality of this app. The interface, the sounds, it's all intuitive and top notch. The only reason this isn't a 5-star review is that the tempo is not true, at least not when exported out to other apps like Fourtrack. It's not even consistent with itself when you export the same track multiple times. Does not line up with GarageBand either which makes it all but useless except for jotting down ideas. Kind of ridiculous that a digital drum app can't get the tempo right. I'd use a real drummer if I wanted that. Otherwise, great app and lots of fun to use..Version: 1.1.7
✓ I like itThe only thing that takes away from this app is I can only use 1 drum machine per beat.Version: 1.0.1
✓ Fix the tempo problem!Rant alert: I hate to complain but this app is, at the moment, a frustrating waste of potential. Whenever I've tried render to wav and export to Nano Studio or DAW, the tempo is way off. Like WAY OFF. Like 15 or so bpms off. Unacceptable. It turns it into something that is virtually unusable. Am I doing something wrong? Every other app I export from (Electribe, Rebirth, NLog) has no problems at all. If they fix this, it will be one of the best drum machines for iOS. I will grudgingly give it 3 stars because it is so good otherwise and I have faith that unless the programmers really don't care, this will be fixed. If not, his is a MAJOR FLAW and you should know that going in. It's especially odd because even lesser apps with far less thought put into them than this are able to achieve this basic task. Please correct this. It's such a great app and it does not need a glitch like this..Version: 1.1.4
✓ Drum pad requestCan you make the drum pads compatible with midi support?.Version: 1.1.9
✓ No icloud savingNice sound but no icloud saving..Version: 4.0.1
✓ An I missing things?In the picture that you show on the effects screen it shows texturizer and robot effects. There is also an fx1/ fx2 beside the effects. Maybe this is a glitch and you could fix it or maybe it's in a future update but if a glitch please try to fix iPod 4g 32g 5.1.1.Version: 1.0.1
