I can’t restore my purchases
Tubadrip

I love this app and bought it back when I had an iPhone 6s but I am trying to restore my purchases on my iPhone 11 Pro Max and it won’t let me. I couldn’t find another way to get in touch with you except writing a review.


Best with Maschine on OS
Rubento

Best to couple with the actual maschine. You can easily transfer the idea that I can get down in the app to my Mac and bring to life with maschine & Logic Pro. I started by making beats purely on my iPhone with imaschine & GarageBand. It's all you guys need to get started. Get good at it. Take your steps to all that. And if your parents got you then grab the real maschine as well with a Mac to easily transfer your ideas.


Issue Downloading Expansions
SYVDad

The last 7 expansion packs will not download and install. App crashes back to home screen. This is occurring on iPad Air with iOS 10 along with iMaschine 2 version 2.2.0.30. On iPhone, running latest iOS along with iMaschine 2 version 2.2.3.64, I do have the issue. So, something with the way the last 7 expansions were done prevents me from either previewing them or in the case of 5 of the 7 that I purchased I can't download the expansions. I checked all the other expansions before these and every single one works as expected. I searched the NI User Forum but found nothing to resolve the problem. I am turning to this area to reach out to NI.


Mobile Powerhouse could Use a Tune Up
JClarke96

I’ve been making beats with this in combination with my mk3 since the mk3 was released and I have a love hate relationship. The idea is 10/10 and I would be devastated if Native Instruments ever gave up on this app. That being said the app could use some work. The latest update moved step mode into the pattern menu instead of the old force touch design and it makes the work flow slower. Also FX could benefit from offering more than 2 slots. That being said I’ve made countless beats that started as sketches on here and I consider this app a crucial tool to be used in conjunction with desktop Maschine’s. Please continue to update and listen to user feedback!


Pattern issues
You'reBoy168

Love this app... but just recently I updated the iOS on my iPad Pro.. and now the app wont let me create a new pattern


Good little tool
AllanG805

Nice little medium for getting ideas down, just a beat making app, with very little production specific opportunity, unlike FL Mobile. It would be cool if they expanded on the app to include a little more production options, but would settle for an updated FX section and a way to more precisely adjust the transients to fit the mix a little better, making less work for when the DAW work comes in.


No midi
Jtm125

No midi functionality. Don’t waste your money. There are dozens of free app that do the same thing.


Step your game, or drop app from the store.
AUDIOBUSS input update.

In the beginning it was a good app. Then stops . Bugs them useless updates that really didn’t solve anything and you can’t even use they on komplete controllers and Machine controllers with it, wow. It can’t even take midi response from midi devices period. What’s the point in salting sound packs if the app don’t work. Its mostly an Virtual brick now. Native instruments stop this app game up or drop it from the App Store. Akai Mpc 2 app has now au3 support now. All other apps like this are now catching up to iOS 14 and offering audio unit functionality to app and midi support function/Bluetooth/wireless . I giving this app a 3 but now it’s gonna be a 1 cause now I can’t even export the iMaschine 2 stems to my Machine 3 software on my main computers now. I will change my review if a real update is given to this app. It will stay at 1. Wish I could give it -1.
