User Reviews

BeatHawk is praised for its excellent sound library, easy 16-pad workflow, and the ability to import own samples and use as an AUv3 instrument in DAWs. However, it suffers from aging UI, lack of updates, stability issues, and cumbersome file management. Overall, its sound quality and workflow keep it valuable, but ongoing development and reliability concerns temper its appeal.

Pros

Outstanding, high-quality sound library and packs, including unique UVI sounds.
Intuitive workflow with the 16-pad groove-box style, making it easy to start a track.
Ability to import your own samples for a unique, customizable sound.
AUv3 compatibility enabling use as a sound engine in DAWs.
Strong DAW integration and generally low latency when the app is stable.

Cons

App appears to be unmaintained with no updates for years, raising concerns about future compatibility.
Frequent crashes and stability issues, especially when loaded as an AUv3 in host apps.
Cumbersome file management and workflow for managing downloaded packs (no batch operations, no drag-and-drop, hard to organize files).
Outdated UI/UX (colors, text size, and overall look) that’s hard on the eyes and feels old.
Missing features for a modern DAW workflow (not a full DAW, limited sampling/editing features, no built-in automation).

Recent reviews

I liked it. Past tense. Now none of my purchases will download and I can’t buy anything at all. Neat app but it’s way too old at this point and breaking down.

This is truly a great app but......I loaded a pack from audio copy didn't think they would load all the sounds individually thought it would load them in folders nope. Now I got 200 files I need to move to a folder I create cool no biggie but then there's no drag and drop, no select all no nothing. So then I create new folders had to name them like audio copy (arrab muzik, trap, kicks...) figured all that out then I remembered oh I need to delete the 200 files from the first pack I downloaded bruh I have to double tap the file and delete each one individually lmmfnao really. I would be faster to uninstall the app then reinstall to delete all the unwanted files I uploaded. I hope I'm not doing right cause I like this app but the work flow sucks because of the file system. Sorry BM3 and Cubasis will do for now.

In the last few months I have bought and used many music creation apps. For some reason I only recently found this old but excellent app. It has quickly become one of my top tools alongside Koala, Korg Gadgets, and GrooveRider. Excellent sound and very good IAPs. My only complaint would be the colors and text size makes it hard on my eyes. I wish that could be adjusted by the user.
