Can’t import from iCloud Drive
     
by AliTheKing96 · June 7, 2023

I have amazing samples and one shots on my iCloud Drive, but there is literally no way for me to import them. That makes this app horrible.

I love this app.
     
by DaVinciboy · May 13, 2022

Can you guys update Beatmaker 2 and optimize it for the newer devices and people who like the simplicity of Beatmaker 2 and don’t necessarily want to use Beatmaker 3? Also, can you add a simple gain and noise gate for Beatmaker 3?

Was the best
     
by No more picture downloads · September 9, 2025

This was the best music making app on iOS but now it crashes immediately when opening. Yes I’ve tried beatmaker 3 it’s not as intuitive and overly complicated. Please fix this Amazing app.

I PURCHASED SOUNDPACKS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO USE

Consider it the best MPC2000 w/o fx
     
by CynicAndMusicLover · December 31, 2022

It’s a fantastically robust sample playback tool if you want to use your iOS device as a hardware sample playback device. The effects/processing is atrocious, don’t expect to do any of that in BM2. As a sequencer for realtime recording w quantization, its about as good as any DAW. Pro feature is easy PCM (wav/aif) stem export! And easy import of giant wav/aif sample libraries via FTP! Quick assigning samples to MIDI notes. If you’ve got an external midi controller with pads, you can faithfully use BM2 to use it to do sample playback with velocity, pitch, etc. There’s a filter too and its not awful but I wouldn’t use it. BM3 is the wonderful upgrade fixing BM2’s pitfalls but unfortunately its iPad-only, no iPhone. I still use bm2 on iPhone to be able to play my custom sample library anywhere via midi. Not sure what else it’d be good for at this point.
