When I installed the app, I got the message that it may not be compatible with my version of android. Indeed, all I got was a blank screen with no settings, menu, or anything else. Pressing anywhere on the screen gave absolutely no feedback from the app. Uninstalled and refunded immediately. Very disappointed, as I was hoping a special needs student would be able to use this to take part in my electronic music class.
An interesting and beautifully sounding concept. Sadly very poor documentation. It took me a while to find out how to start with an empty scene instead of the preloaded one. No update since 2014 raises the question if this is abandonware (although still payware). I would at least expect system updates and MIDI support (USB and OTG MIDI out) by now.
I've had this app on my phone for so long. I love this app. I've used it during a band jam and it was pretty awesome mixing technology with some string instruments. this app doesnt really need an update ; old is gold.
I've used this app for years, it feels like you're creating a living breathing piece of music when you set the generators and nodes to move. This old app is fantastic, surprised it still works on Android 9 at this point.
Amazing music app, The developers of this fantastic music app have done absolutely brilliant with this, Keep on going and never stop You guys have done really excellent with this, Keep up with the great work guys.
Very nice however the app often exits when picking from the side panel as my phone is gesture controlled and it mistakes me for wanting to exit the app. Not your fault. I blame my overly eat fingers. Thank you
What a fantastic app.. Intuitive, Inspiring, ingenius! Love the elegance of the organic creative interface. Super cool!
5 years since laat update, and the dev still wants $3 for it?? It wont even open on my Pixel 2 XL. I want my money back.
Loved this app on BB10. Nothing like it on Android... until now. Happy to finally have it on Android.
I tried listening to a premade sound once and it wont let me start from scratch besides that fine
Hope the author makes it compatible with newer versions of Android.
I've always had fun with this app. It's easy to learn and entertaining
Still enjoy playing with this app even though I've never completely mastered it.
Works on my oneplus 5t. Had this since my Note 3. Still a fun time.
Amazing project. Wondering if they could update it.
Finally fixed! A cool generative music app.
Still using this years and years later! Such a gorgeous app
The app was built for an older version of android
It's a vibe
Great little app Update: another 5 stars for Android 11 support. Missed this app! Need midi out :-(
Great fun, way more interesting way to spend your time than Candy-bloody-Crush, for the cost of some change you found in the gutter. Love it. You asked for update suggestions: What I would really love is the ability to record short samples and use those in the generators :o) UPDATED REVIEW: Still love this; I gave it to my three-year-old to play with, as because the interface is so simple I was interested to see what she could do. She absolutely loved it and had great fun making a beat and playing with the "touch piano", with no instructions. Really amazing app.
This incredibly interactive beat sequencer is enormously entertaining. The interface is simple and intuitive and without having any idea what you're doing, you'll construct complex loops in no-time. I use it on my phone almost as a game because it's so entertaining.
Adding this review so that others can be careful
I wish i could draw a path for the nodes to go and control how fast it goes. Also a bigger playing field with zoom.
This is one of those rare apps that actually stimulates your creativity. It's great fun and there's no learning curve: just start adding nodes and see what you can create!
I use Nodebeat live for sparkly synth sounds and dynamic sequences. Very effective pattern save so you can keep interesting configurations.
One of the best (if not the best) android app I have ever paid for.
If only, it ran on my most recent Android phone. I've had this beautiful app since Blackberry Playbooks were a thing... seriously. It's a gorgeous beat sequencer that is super intuitive and even an excellent tool for children to explore electronic music. Unfortunately, it is out of date and finally stopped working on my newer Android phone as of 2021.
