Drum Pads - Beat Maker Go

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.

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!

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.

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.
