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.

It would be nice to be able to try at least one version without any subscribe with the card and then if you want more in the app just pay. You can't have customers if they don't know what your product tastes like.

You can't even use the app without getting hit with ads every few seconds if you want to try do anything or click on or off anything you have to watch a 30 second ad that makes you feel like your watching stuff more then playing the game

I tried using this app and the only thing it gave me was: Pop-ups to buy random things, ads, and confusing tutorials. The ads were kind of a joke as they were happening literally every single possible second. Awful App, do not use.

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.

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.

It starts off by showing you what is clearly a slider or switch to turn on and off but it doesn't work. You have to like on the smallest possible text to use the free version. Bad start. If you just want people to subscribe to it just dont make it free in the first place. Very scummy thing to do and I'm sure is breaking some laws. Other than that the app works fine but dont install. Get drum pad machine instead because it doesn't use scummy tactics in the first 5 seconds of use.

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.

Want an ad app that sometimes let's you make beats? Look no further! Drum pads has all the ads you could want! With cool features like- unskippable, double ads, ads that hide the close button and much much more! Going to the home screen? You get an ad! Want to change what's on the beat pad? You get an ad! Spend your free time watching ads on Drum Pads (and maybe, if there is left over time- making beats).

had this app when it was early access and absolutely fell harleyjoker in love. tweaker is now only in pro. Gone after updating the app. downloading a pack, u don't get to keep it when you shut off the app. data used up on watching ads, High speed internet is the only way to watch those ads! when I run out of h.s.data they don't even try to play. Double Upgrade windows after every screen change. don't mind ads, don't like ads that are hard to exit. only Upgrade from its infancy is pack variety.

Upon starting the app, it offers a free trial with a toggle icon, which is misleading. You can't toggle the trial off. Instead, you need to press the small link at the bottom to skip it. After that, it asks you twice more before letting you actually sample anything. The whole setup feels like a scam to get people to turn over their payment info before even trying anything.

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 actually better than expected...much better! I do have one slight hitch which lost that 5th star. On a Samsung S8+ the audio during creation and recording has a great deal of random static. During playback of samples and playback of recorded tracks it's clear and smooth sounding, so I am pleased with the end result. I do like the skill improvement feature, it was something I didn't know I needed.

Good beats and concept, just too slow and laggy. Couldn't keep up with my fingers and would just throw off the rhythm. The response time needs adjustments to keep up. It's even worse with headphones in. Maybe make recording and adding layers to your existing beat more simple. And it may be just me but it's hard to start on a beat, save what I have, add something else to it, save it, and continue adding things until I like it without having to restart. Also the Delay makes some things staticy.

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.

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.

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.
