This is a fantastic app bar a major bug for me in the repeat Quantise setting, don’t know if anyone else is experiencing this. When trying to change the quantise value, the setting just flashes and doesn’t change anything until I reboot then it seems to work well for a while. This renders this function useless really, try to save too and that flashes on selection also, until a reboot. Apart from those issues it’s a great tool, hope this can be addressed soon

I’ve been using BeatHawk from the first version and the way you can just quickly get your ideas going to the quality of the sounds you get and the in app purchases this is an excellent app. With arguably the best sequencer out there in iOS Land IMHO it’s an almost complete music system. If this had multi outs although you can export stems but it’s not the same and a more extensive sample editor it would be off the chain. As it is for what you can do and the quality of the sounds it’s still an excellent production one stop shop and the results are professional. If they ever implement those updates which I doubt they will it really would be all you need.

So frustrating this one. The sounds are brilliant, clever interface, and loads of excellent add on packs. However after just a while of using it as an Au3 plugin in Cubasis the plugin crashes and disappears. Cubasis stays open, and I have to then reload the plugin. Happens in standalone too but not as often. I’m guessing it’s the new iPad Mini 6. As soon as the issues are sorted this will be a 5 star review.

I think it may be a bit under rated but has its charm

This is a cool app for getting ideas and inspiration. It’s really fun to use and can get it making some excellent sounds. The sound packs are really nice but not worth spending the money on as the work flow when wanting to use with other iOS music apps is made frustrating by the fact you can’t directly access the the sound packs using the iOS file system. BeatHawk has a poor and outdated file management. I’d purchase more audio packs if It was much easier to use them in other apps too. Obviously it’s possible export sound but the work flow is really clunky. You also need eyes like a hawk to see some of the icons and text. That said, this app is great value for money and really easy to get making fun beats and sounds, it’s likely you’ll have loads of fun using it.

I use BeatHawk as a sound bank. I have purchased all of the sound packs as the sounds are very high quality (as you’d expect from UVI) and all very useable. The AUv3 functionality makes it easy to incorporate into your workflow. My first gripe is around the lack of support for the 11 inch iPad Pro display. The developer responded to this stating that this issue would be fixed in an upcoming update. However, following an update today that included “better support for newer devices”, the UI still does not fit the screen of my 11 inch iPad Pro. My second issue is the lack of Files app support. I would love to access the sounds I’ve bought and use them in other apps. I can do this with BeatMaker 3, I wish I could do it here too. Other than that, BeatHawk is a no-brainer.

I have IMPC Pro but thought I'd give this a go. It wouldn't be right to draw too many direct comparisons between the apps, because each one has so much going for it. However, for ease of use and for sheer fun, BeatHawk has the edge. Within minutes I was putting a song together. Pre-packed sounds are very good, and there's a really good range of IAPs, some of which I've bought already - and I'm particularly happy that some of these extra purchases cater for more eclectic tastes. So, all in all, a very good purchase. I'm looking forward to many hours of music-making. Update: Having splurged on a midi keyboard during these dark pandemic days Beathawk has opened up even more new horizons for me! Of course you sacrifice some tweak-ability, but the harpsichord sounds in the Baroque IAP sound so much better than the preset on my Yamaha keyboard. I can’t wait to try out the B3 to see if it really sounds anything like a Hammond! Further update: the B3 is good but clearly the BeatHawk is not designed for tweaking the sounds very much. So you have some preset organ sounds and you can alter reverb, LFO etc but that’s about it. I purchased the Grand Piano and I’m afraid it doesn’t measure up to the Ivory A available on Korg Module. The tone is quite muddy and a bit of a disappointment. Still a 5-star app though.

Hello is it still possible to get the above? Having looked carefully I can’t seem to find it.

Excellent interface. Amazing sound sets available at decent prices. Please, please, please update it for the latest iPhones. I’m hoping it’s not a sign of the end of support from UVI. 🤞
