Pros and cons of BeatMaker 2 app for iPhone and iPad

BeatMaker 2 app good for

Bravo Intua pour le travail accompli, mes jattendais de la mise à jour la possibilité de faire joue les piste midi a un synthétiseur externe plus facilement avec lInter-App Audio (comme dans "Tabletop" de Retronyms avec son module "Mastermind"). Please intua: Add the ability to play tracks midi has a synthesizer easier with Inter-App Audio (as in "Tabletop" of Retronyms with its "Mastermind" module). Add suport for a format of popular instrument, Soundfont (.sf2), Sfz Player (.sfz), Akai (.akp)... and support for synchronizing iCloud).

Very good app, but this morning with the new update for the app and for iOS7, the app close directly and i cant use it... I need to record today please make à new update for resolve this problem. Thanks

Works great since the last update, thanks for the great work !

By purchasing this superb rhythm box, I have made countless hits and now have a studio that smells of rich mahogany and is lined with leather-bound books. My sister also enjoys thumping out tunes on the virtual pads and the sounds are like a sea breeze in Autumn. Beautiful. And very, very, french.

Very dope..but please an update for ableton link and it Will deserve 5 stars..

Awesome, but have a problem with Sustain Pedal. It cut the sound even the key still pressed.

Some bad moments

Its really good but it crashes a lot and now I cant even download it. WTF?

Tried at half off but still isnt worth it, if it keeps crashing every 10min and you lose all your editing.

Im so fed up with this app, this is the fifth time this has happened. I always save the projects Im working on after I add any layer because it crashes so much, but since the app runs like s^^t (and Im running it on an iPhone 4 with no apps running in background) it cannot even handle saving. It crashes while I save it making me lose the entire project… the only time I really rely on it to actually work is when I am saving it, and it cant even do that… making me out countless hours of work. Intua, you need some major improvement.

Looks like a great app and the functionality seems solid but it does not work as advertised with Dropbox. Im 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.

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... Ive had it off my iPad for some time, but Im going to put it back on to see if its gotten any easier. I want to like it...

Unfortunately, there is a bug with the MIDI and sustain pedal which makes it useless to record MIDI piano performance.
