i808 Drum Machine App Reviews

I like thus app and have had fun with it. I agree with others that theres room for improvement here. - the fact that the sound shuts off as the screen goes to sleep should be fixed. - Id like to be able to save groups of beats. Its nice to have up to six sets here, but Id like to save stuff I like, so I can move on to other beats w/o erasing the "keepers." - finally, allow for the settings like "snappy" and "hi/low" to be applied differently to each beat. That would be helpful. Also, it would be nice to adjust the tempo by tapping as a short-cut, as well as incremental "up/down" adjustments. Really cool app. Thanks for the hard work. I look forward to updates.

Great little app for the money. Wish I could save or export the patterns, however. The samples are very accurate, however and throws you right back to 1983!

Is there a way to change the tempo?

Its a wast of money

Easy to use, fun to play with, but while it saves your patterns and your tempo, it doesnt save the drum settings or the volume levels, so if youre using a non-default drum or have adjusted levels, you wont recognize your beat when you open the program again, and youll need to do all those adjustments over, which makes it useless for performance. What did I want for $2, right?

Excellent reproduction of the sound of the 808. I really suggest sampling the sounds of this app and using them in a real sequencer instead of trying to work solely on your idevice. Then you get your moneys worth. I love it. 808 says BOOM BOOM BOOM. :)

This sounds good. A must have. Just need a save and load function and its 5 stars.

At this time I can only give one star. Even with the volume all the way up on iPhone and on the app, it is difficult to hear on headphones, car stereo and home stereo. More difficult to hear in headphones more than the others. Will give more stars with improvements. Other than that its a good app.

Easy to use. Good sound quality. Worth 1.99 and Im cheap!

This is one of the coolest apps ever! i made my own song called shut up

Well done! Features are easy to use even on iPhone. Easy to record if you export via headphones to mixer/midi. Lots of fun to use on subway, too. :)

I want a refund. Lame sound, lame control, lame features. A waste of time and money.

No usability whatsoever.

For only a couple bucks, this is a cool and handy 808 emulator. To those whining that it isnt exactly like the real 808, are you mentally damaged? Its two dollars compared to hundreds of dollars for an actual 808, so what do you rocket scientists expect? Real musicians can put this app to good use in a heartbeat.

Amazing app for an amazing price!!! I am giving five stars+++++ in the hopes that everyone buys this and the creators ADD BETTER DRUM AND PATTERN SAVE FUNCTIONS!!!! Seriously people, give these guys your money so they can make a better BOOM BOOM!
