◆ Reviews ◆

"Addictive - Like a Deep House or Techno version of Brian Eno's Bloom and Trope apps. Uptempo ambient for headphones at work. Kids love it, too. One of the best generative music apps I've found." - Top Review

"This is a great app. Experienced musicians and laypeople alike can enjoy their music within seconds." - AppAdvice.com

"Another bold step forward in iPad musical devices, which turns networks of nodes into bumping beats." - Belinda Lanks - Fast Company's Co.Design

"Relaxing and Fun. If you’re the sort who enjoys playing with meditative toys like tabletop Zen sand gardens, you’ll probably enjoy this relaxing and visually appealing sound app." - Gianna LaPin - 148apps.com

"More than anything, it’ll be a calming oasis in the chaos that is a typical day in a modern city. If it all gets too much, as it inevitably does, just plug in your earphones and sculpt some sounds by moving around the nodes on the screen, simply making music and letting the ambient chimes wash over you. Until your boss tells you to stop messing around and get back to work, that is." - Kevin Holmes - thecreatorsproject.com

"If you like generative, reactive or ambient music- Nodebeat is a vital addition to your app collection. It is easily on par with the likes of Bloom, Slewpi, Aura flux, Curtis, Reactable and the rest and is super user-friendly...You can get lost in this ambient world for hours if you are just into playing at home, but if you are part of the new wave of live performers that are using iOS devices for live performances then you too should grab this app! You will astound your audience with mesmerizing spaced out grooves like never before!" - Zac Laurent - www.evolutionarymusic.org

Fun and creative app
Keihatsu

Lots of options. Easy to use interface. Options to make your own music, record and share OR simply let it play on its own in the background.


I Love it but my gen 1 12.9 in iPad Pro doesn’t
Carnivorous plant

Learning how everything interacts has been absorbing and creative on our new edu 9.7 version iPad. It reliably freezes and crashes on the 12.9 iPad Pro Both running iOS 11.4.1


Buggy Game
TylerI328

This game is great and all, but I found a ton of bugs. I’m giving this a 3-star because of all the bugs. Examples of bugs are: Enlarged Generators, No Keyboard at all, and White Screen. I wish these bugs will get fixed.


Could be simpler

How do I write?


Fantastic and fun!

My generative music secret weapon. Oops.


Versatile enough
Wheatbread77

If you dig into the controls and learn to finesse them and the tempo and timing of it all, this is a fantastic instrument! I love it!


After update no longer works (fixed)
Kurt52

I am revising my review. The issue was addressed in short order by the developer. now the app works as it did before the latest update.


So much fun!
FlyingDutchman128
