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Outdated UI/UX (colors, text size, and overall look) that’s hard on the eyes and feels old.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

One of the pioneering iOS apps. The sounds in this app are amazing, I’ve purchased several expansions. I typically use it as an AUV3 and it also has a great standalone workflow. The app is still very stable for me, though it would be encouraging to see updates. I also noticed this app is no longer shown on your website. Please keep it alive!!

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.
