It's an interesting app, certainly. Not a fan of having to buy the "fancy" version, just to play around with to make music. I realize if you want the real tool, you need to purchase it, much as if you purchased an instrument. But I try to stay f2p; I'm not made of money, sadly. And I haven't yet figured out how to port my samples, either, onto my phone or whatever, but I suspect that in order to do that, once again, you probably have to BUY the "full" version.
Reviews for Drum Pads - Beat Maker Go
← Back to Drum Pads - Beat Maker GoUseless junk app filled with neverending ads shoved right into my throat. During my 30 mins playthrough, I think I spent more than 20 mins just watching ads only. Terrible app and they have predatory monetary to eventually force you to pay, uninstalled.
Terrible first experience. The app starts by shadily trying to get the user to buy the paid subscription before even trying out the app. To get to the free part, you have to look around for the very tiny hints of text that gets you through the gigantic begging ads. When you finally start the app, you use it for a minute or two and then it pops yet another deceiving message begging for your subscription. Uninstalled immediately. Better opt for an app that doesn't try to coerce you into paying.
You must enter in a credit card or debit card. I'm sure it's a great app but when I have to put in my information before I can even get a real chance to try, it it's not for me. opened up the app and there was no exit out of a subscription. when you figure it out after the first advertisement you have to exit out of three times to get back to the main page, with a 10 second delay before an option of exiting is available. when you get back it's just about every button triggers an ad like that.
This app should not be categorized as free application. You don't have a chance to press even one of these beats without giving your CC details and accepting the free 3 days trial, and then being charged whatever amount is the subscription... It's exactly like buying an application or a game that gives you a discount for the first few days or weeks. This is basically *not* a free app.
literally can't try it out unless you do a three day trail and I've seen the answers to other reviews like this where it says that there is an x so you can click away the subscription banner but it literally isn't there open your own app and you'll see! I was waiting for minutes and I still didn't see an x, stop lying and just say that you need to pay for the app.
Is a fine enough beat making app, but incredibly aggressive about ads. Every time you try to do something different you have to sit through a 30sec ad. And most of these ads are shady and have tiny close buttons so you often miss clicking close and click on the ad. Shady practices and just not a good user experience. I'm not afraid to pay money for a good app, but let me experience your app more than I experience the ads. Don't waste your time here. Developers, do better.
In the adds it never says that it is to pay... It gets your hopes upa nd when you download it you see that you have 3 day free trial and that it is absurd ammount to pay for every week ( about 8 $ a week)... I think they shoud use figure out new adds which shows you that it is to pay or switch to get premium or to upgrade your app but the classic would be for free.
thought I would give it a shot. Got to the screen with a slide button that says "free trial enabled". I tried to turn it off and it won't let you. to try it, you are forced to sign up for a free 3 day trial. I don't want to do that. I just want to try the app running in non-pro mode. no way to continue past that screen unless you sign up. as I see it, you're hoping that by FORCING people to accept a free trial, they will forget to cancel and you get the $10 for the first paid period. BAD!!
It costs $8 a week if you don't cancel the free trial that you're required to sign up for to access the app. That's $416 a year. Their whole business model is hoping people forget to cancel the free trial. Quick uninstall for me. edit: Make it more obvious. I'm not giving you fools another chance.
app works as intended and is plenty fine at what it does, but the ads have gotten more and more agressive and considerably longer. every time you change sound packs you have to sit through a 30-60 second long ad. it's why I ended up uninstalling it. I'm sure this app is great if you shell out the cash for the pro version but if you're looking to just use the free version it's borderline unusable. if Propellerhead was available for android I'd just use that, it's much much better.
I feel like I can't even *breathe* in this app without an extremely long, unskippable ad popping up. I understand that to offer free versions, ads are required for income. But the ads are so pervasive that the app is basically unusable on the free version - especially if you're intending to just jot down some quick inspiration, or wanting to learn how to actually use the app.
Won't even let me look at the limited version without the "3 day free trial" (that of course automatically subscribes you to the paid subscription once the 3 days are up). It appears to have a button to switch off the free trial, but it's just a static graphic... Even if it's a good app (I don't know because I couldn't just access it) you won't get me through the door with dishonest tactics like that.
Absolutely HORRIBLE app. When you first enter it, there is a screen for you to get a free trial, but you have to purchase to get it and it didn't let me undo the purchase. And the switch that says you do not get the free trial didn't work. Instead there is a very small and well hidden 'X' in the top left corner. When I finally got to play the game, either things costed money or there was an ad every 5 presses I made. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP! 1 star I do not recommend at all.
It's OK. It has good sound packs and the tutorial feature is nice. The ads are pretty excessive. When not using a pad, like navigating the UI just about every button press results in an ad. Sometimes 2. Subscription based pay model is a big turn off, and most of these packs are free on bandlab. I like the layout, it's very responsive. It just seems greedy with its intrusive ads and subscription only Setup. I think there is a better way this could be done.
I'm sure that paying $50 a year after 3 days is a drop in the bucket for some, especially those dedicated to using a phone to make music; but trying to try to free version (without fear of 3 day free trial before you're charged) is an ad-nightmare. I wanted to give this a solid shot but you've really created something that forces you into paying due to pop-up ads every transition to a new page, worse than the web in 1998. Good luck!
It's okay. The packs you have access to are interesting and it has a tutorial that is fun to use, making it like a game to learn how to use the app. However there are some problems. If you try to make a particularly fast beat there can be some lag on the sound occasionally. Also, once you make a recording you can't edit it, so you can't layer things the way the ad shows. Edit: I just realized there is a "pro mode" that you can turn on to do the layering for no extra charge.
No free mode for me to get comfortable with the app before considering the Pro subscription. There is a 3 day subscription trial, but I doubt it'd be very productive when still learning the ropes. In other words, give it a go if you have a large amount of time to kill, otherwise you're not getting much out of it without wallet commitment.
DO NOT DOWNLOAD. This is NOT a free app. The devs should take this down and just repost it as a paid version. In 1 minute of having open j had to wade through not only 3 or 4 buttons pushing me into a 3 day trial (what a joke) but also an auto $50 a year subscription. If you are smart enough to avoid that they hit you with not only alltime banner ads but interruption ads. I saw four in the first 5 minutes I used the app. one was 30 seconda that couldn't skip. And it's so limited as a free vers.
The app has some serious potential.. multiple genres to choose from, it's an app that a musical visionary can go wild with. But unfortunately.. that's the only upside to it. Upon opening the app, you're prompted to spend 50 bucks for the pro version. Next, you have the 12x12 that is widely used by many music apps.. although it is nice to have a secondary tab you can tap on to go to a different set of instruments. Lastly, everything's mostly pro. Very limited options on the music that you have.
