Pros and cons of BeatPad app for iPhone and iPad

BeatPad app good for

I like this app a lot but downloaded the new update now beat pad will not open someone fix please
Great app but since the update I cant go to songlist the app closes automatically
This app is great but there are some problems when playing back recorded tracks or even after composing it. It seems like the volume just randomly goes up and down. You cant really hear this problem when using the built-in iPhone speaker but when you use headphones you can really hear it.
The ultimate app for music creation! Fun, simple, easy, and so many sounds to choose from! I am going to release an entire album made with BeatPad! And with the new update, all the crashing glitches are fixed! Its worth the money!
Like the last version, the metronome glitch is still there. and the app sometimes crashes, not often but I think the word is occasionally? Other than that, everything is great, just try re-fixing that bug again.
Good app, made a bunch of cool beats. Though to get a 5 there should be more software packs.

Some bad moments

Does not run very smoothly. Try lite version before buying and then dont buy it! Ive had nothing but problems so far. Sounds dont match key or tempo which means most dont work together. Also touch response gets more delayed the more I use it.
You guys need to fix all these bugs in this. I made a great song. Gone! Then i made another song, and guess what happened to that one? I want you guys to fix this as soon as possible because i dont want to put anymore effort, into a piece of art, and then just let it dissapeir. I will no longer be on this app until you get it fixed Sincerely: Ryan Timmermans.
Ugly logo design, it lacks sounds to start with, it bothers you with in app purchases since the very beginning. Not for pros.
Ever since the new iOS10 update was released, i cant restore any of the sound kits i spent my money on. Can we please fix this so i can get back to making the music i want to make? Overall i love this app and it has changed my life musically, but i cannot progress if XME Inc. is not staying up to date with the world. Please fix this asap!
Everytime I log into the app Id have to start all over again from creating new beats to downloading my purchased beat packs. I thought freeing up a major amount of space would resolve the issue, but it didnt help. I deleted the app and redownloaded it again and now I cant even get all my purchased packs? This is getting really irritating, hope you all resolve this issue fast. Thanks
Maybe its me! I simply dont understand how this app works! I mean yes I see the transport ( kinda if you wanna call it that! ) Some of the sounds like the snare for example have no means of editing it. I can choose to open what I think is an editor however the only Thing I can do is select the file but not edit as the button for edit is not lit! Their other app " STUDIO something.... It has its own issues with metering and basic automation. It seems all of the devs products have this strange way of working! Its not simple stupid like Beatmaker 2 or Nanostudio. Where this app shines is the sounds some of the sound banks are awesome however I have to plug the ipad into the Mac and record the pads ( each dam one from each bank ) just to be able to have some flexibility and be able to actually record using a sequencer. The sequencer that this app provides looks like something made up. It resembles nothing like any sequencer I have seen! The mixer .... Ok its also very basic looking and strange. As of now the only thing I can do with this app is buy all the versions for the sounds only and record each pad into a daw on the Mac,adjust the sounds that need it and import the sounds as wav files for use in other apps on the ipad. ATTENTION DEVS SOME OF YOUR SOUNDS VOLUME ARE LOW. THEY HAVE NO BITE. THE HIPHOP KIT NEED MORE BITE IN THE SNARE!!
