eh
by slattchoppa on 2021/11/18 03:58
it isnt how it used to be. you used to not have to get the plus version to use it. and the song suggestions dont connect with the music at all
lack of tracks
by connorhanley5 on 2021/11/10 06:47
look, i get that spotify revoked the use of third party dj apps but that doesn’t mean it should restrict me from using 99 percent of my playlist in my own mix. i think that using soundcloud would be a great idea to fix this problem plus it would give people more music to use and would resolve the problem of everyone’s mix being pretty much wiped after 3.0 AND a soundcloud account is FREE. even if i would have to buy a soundcloud plus account to be able to use tracks from there in my mixes i would. i just think that the songs im “allowed” to use shouldn’t be limited in any way especially since a subscription to pacemaker is so expensive. respectfully ending my subscription until i can get my mixes i’ve already created back.
A warning to others
by electrosuicide on 2021/11/10 04:51
I paid in full for this app and all of its add-ons previously. When I inquired about the removal of my access to an app that I paid for, I was given access to the old version via Test Flight, which has now been taken away as well, leaving me only to subscribe to pieced together half hearted software at an extreme premium.
My only recourse now is to warn others to stay away. The app could change without warning and remove paid features or further degrade functionality for the same price or even more.
You pay for access to the app. It never belongs to you. If you subscribe to it, treat it as if the features or the app itself could be removed at any moment. Don’t treat it as more than just a fun toy.
It is the first app I’ve ever paid for and purchased all features because I was so impressed. At one time, this was exciting software.
Fool me once…
$4 a week for Spotify integration???
by brownboynyc on 2021/10/28 22:38
Never write reviews but…
So how do you destroy the best app in the business? Ask loyal fans to pay $4 a week to integrate with the Spotify account they already pay for! Roughly $200 a year?
Nope.
A great app that Spotify ruined
by TheBNHolmes on 2021/10/26 18:11
I think this app is good but it was a whole lot better before Spotify took away rights to 3rd party apps. Now there is barley any music that is worth using on the app. Yes their team is working on improving that but it’s not happening fast enough to be charge us $5 a week to even access the app. I think this app has great potential for improvement if the team works harder at trying to get the rights to music that isn’t on the radio or top 100s list. Instead of having people click a button on a song that says “this is unavailable”.. maybe reach out to your users and have them give you more in depth feedback on what we want out of this app.. because again $20 a month is pretty steep when there’s barley any content.
Dead app post Spotify
by SuboptimalDnB on 2021/10/22 03:44
I bought all the effects years ago when it came out. After Spotify withdrew from supporting DJ apps, Pacemaker pulled the plug on its long term support features for a paid subscription model. No support for local iTunes files. No refunds on paid for effects packs. No access to any of the features without the 4.99 per week(highway robbery) sub fee. Used to be a great app, now it’s as good a a brick.
Trash
by 6664773838 on 2021/10/10 17:58
This app is terrible now. You can’t find ANY music on it to mix. The update ruined this app
App is not free even though it says it is…
by Johnney M on 2021/10/07 22:32
I can’t play anything from Spotify. They make you pay to do anything…
Bait and Switch
by Mitchell Pash on 2021/09/30 15:28
Literally one of the worst business level choices ever made by an app company in the 21st century. Legacy customers got screwed by money hungry hippos
This app used to be great…
by snevine on 2021/09/30 03:42
I used to love this app. I even purchased the effects years ago. Unfortunately, after getting my hands on an iPad again, I discovered a very pricey subscription model.
The developer has stated this is due to Spotify changing their pricing structure. That could make sense if users had to pay specifically for Spotify integration. As of right now, I can’t do anything with this app without a subscription. That includes loading songs via Apple Music that I own.
I have purchased portions of a product that are now behind a paywall. Yes, I purchased these features years ago, however this developer did not deprecate that application. No, they chose to keep the same application identifier, but fundamentally change the application itself. An extremely shady move.
Used to be such a fan…
by KingOEgypt on 2021/09/25 00:18
I paid for this app back when it was a one-time payment. Enjoyed the features enough and liked showing it off to friends every now and then. Came back one day to find that I pretty much threw my money away since they decided to become a subscription based app. No discount for their early supporters, no new features to justify the insane markup in price. Disappointed in this business model, $4.99 a week is an egregious price for a mixing app of this kind. Maybe one day they’ll attempt to win me back somehow.
Pacemaker Glory Days are Over
by M4t1337 on 2021/09/24 03:46
Ive had this app for like at least 5 years. I loved this app so much that I bought almost all of the effects. I recently tried to use it again and Im met with a ‘subscribe to pacemaker plus’ screen. Kinda low for the developers to add an additional paywall for someone like me whos already dumped tons of money on an app that I cant use anymore. Dpp
Was great, now horrible…
by Brad Reddell on 2021/09/22 17:17
I have been a DJ for 35+ years.In that time I have mixed using cassettes, turntables, digital and anything in between. This app for a few years was fantastic for matching BPM and mixing music for those of us who play on a routine basis. I am assuming that the issue now with these type of apps is that the licensing has gone away. The problem is, so has the usefulness of this application. The majority of popular songs are not in their library, and the majority of DJs pull their music from Spotify.
As I mentioned, this app at one time was fantastic. You could mix an entire Setlist get play and use it as you need to. Now you can’t no longer do that.
In addition the app crashes every 5 to 10 minutes or so.
And lastly, this application is incredibly expensive for the lack of value currently being offered.
If it changes back where those of us who love it can use it in a useful manner, I will be right back. But until then, this app is completely useless for professional or even serious amateur DJs…
TOTAL BAIT AND SWITCH (And They Know It)
by Centim6 on 2021/09/17 01:47
So the app opens up, even loads up your songs from Apple Music. And then, it happens. You’re offered to subscribe to Pacemaker+. You decline and you’re back at the song list. Press your song choice again, and it’s back to the ad. At this point, you realize this is a bait and switch. Nevermind they forced people to update without publicly acknowledging the major changes ahead. So disappointed they don’t even offer the regular dj features anymore. I’ll find a replacement app, but nothing will beat it. And regardless of the reply, unless it’s offering your users the ability to revert to just the core app, nothing will be of true resolve.
Bruh
by M@xwell2002 on 2021/09/16 04:51
I literally can’t use anything anymore, I go to make a new mix and it only gives me the subscription pop up and when I hit x on it it just doesn’t let me make a new mix and it’s just a cycle. I can’t even listen to mixes without that pop up, glad to see everything is stuck behind a paywall
Not free
by DJAKay117 on 2021/09/12 06:30
This app is useless and pointless without paying the weekly fee of $4.99. It is annoying mostly for the fact I used to use this when it was free, I had so many playlists and loved this app, then since Spotify prevented 3rd party apps from using music off the app, it costs money now to even listen to someone else’s track. Could you at least make it free to listen to tracks, but pay to make them. That would at least be more fair.

Great App but …
by LuckyTreat on 2021/08/31 12:14
Disappointed to be one of the first people to utilize this app and are now being charged. Thanks for everything and good luck :)
Don’t bother everything is locked behind paywall !!!
by MoonBoy🌙🌙 on 2021/08/25 14:41
It’s disgusting that the developer thinks this app is worth $260 a year. Like seriously a $5 a week for a subscription at that point you might as well buy DJ equipment, and learn to do it yourself. This is really a missed opportunity to provide a unique and creative app to people but instead it is a cash grab.
Only the installation is free
by golalmo on 2021/08/25 13:37
you will need to pay at least 5 buck to check it out.
Best wishes
by apayton89 on 2021/08/21 01:24
I have no doubt in my mind that pacemaker will come back and be the best app out there that even may rival Spotify and Apple Music one day. I wish you guys the best over the next year as you get your music deals sorted out. I just hope that it happens before it’s too late. 1 star rating for now thought because none and I do mean none of my music works except for maybe 20 out of 1100 songs 👎🏾
Good app
by Lamenathalie on 2021/08/17 22:51
Ability to play the instrumental would be
A cool feature
Dropped tremendously
by _Christofire on 2021/08/17 10:47
This used to be the best app ever. I used to recommend it to everyone now it doesn’t hold to the standard it used to. None of my music is no longer compatible from Apple Music and Spotify. I worked days on some mixes and now I can’t even play them I tried making new ones with music comparable in the app and there’s barely anything to work with. What will you do to fix this so we all have the full experience again? Because as of rn we’re paying for absolute garbage. I loved it when everything was like it used to it was well worth the price.
Subscription???
by C_unit32 on 2021/08/11 08:38
So without the subscription I can’t make or view any music. Why even let me access the app without it?
Overpriced.
by dmleandro on 2021/08/07 01:30
DJay pro is better interface, has the ability to use a midi controller and allows access to more libraries. For 16.99/mo I expected more value.
I feel like a sucker
by pmpremo on 2021/08/06 18:32
Purchased this app before it become a subscription service and purchased add one and now if I don’t purchase subscription, cannot use app or add one I PAID FOR!!!!!
Also I did not use Spotify with the app so that is not ample justification for revoking people that were grandfathered into using your app and now cannot use what was paid for. Other apps that have moved to the from a free/one time purchase model to a subscription model do not punish their day one consumers.
Wow a Subscription, really?
by Romana on 2021/07/28 16:16
You can’t do anything on the app without a subscription...I remember the time it was a free app, it was good back then. Devs just being greedy, at least put a one time price on it.
Unusable
by MrMartinike on 2021/07/27 20:19
All the tracks are under a paywall now and connecting your Spotify account does nothing.
Yo ya habia pagado por esta app
by Excelente app vale la pena on 2021/07/19 02:30
No se porque me desactualizaron mi app si yo ya habia pagado por ella, fui de los primeros que la compro en sus inicios y ahora que la abro me dice que debo pagar semanal😡😡
Don’t fall for the bait
by Fix digger 9902 on 2021/07/11 13:51
I went in thinking “oh hey that’s cool, a little music mixer thing” but then when I synced my Spotify and was about to get started, it made me pay for it. That’s one of the dumbest cop outs I’ve ever seen, I dare say that’s false advertising on the App Store. Screw these guys and screw this app.
Another bad review
by Ethan Philip Richard on 2021/07/08 02:44
This truly cannot stress me enough. You guys ruined a perfectly amazing app.
Not useful without Sonos integration
by Syser on 2021/07/05 01:17
Googled to figure out how to output a Pacemaker to Sonos and found a thread requesting this same feature. The response from Pacemaker was to lecture the folks who took the time to file a feature request with their silly rationale for not integrating with Sonos. At least I know it’s never coming and it’s not worthwhile to request it. Deleted and canceled my trial subscription.
Was a great app before subscription base
by Skrhak on 2021/07/03 20:00
I absolutely loved this app when I original purchased it. I paid a flat fee for Pacemaker and loved it so much I invested more money into it purchasing additional type of effects. Then one day Pacemaker got a update and was now monthly subscription based? Now if I wanted to continue to use Pacemaker I needed to pay $5 a month. Apple shouldn’t allow apps be able to suddenly go subscription based. Now the app is useless. Does not work unless you subscribe. All the money I invested into the Pacemaker is gone. Very disappointed.
Yet Another Deceptive App with Little to No Usability Without Subscription
by ian cook on 2021/06/28 01:35
It’s really unfortunate that this is the way iOS developers are going en masse— ostensibly offering ‘free’ apps with ‘IAPs’ when in fact what one gets is a low-to-no functionality preview. I know that Apple and Spotify share some responsibility for this, but seriously, enough already. I will happily fork over 5-50 dollars for something of value that developers put time and money into creating and supporting, but I’ve had it with downloading hyped-up ‘free’ apps only to discover that all I can do without hitting a paywall amounts to little more than letting a commercial run on my device. If one can’t properly sample the feature set without agreeing to a paid subscription, the app is not free and the subscription is decidedly not an IAP or ‘upgrade.’ A disappointment.
Need to get back my app back I paid for years ago
by atti66 on 2021/06/25 21:03
Hi You all giving this excuses about Spotify there is Tidal most DJ app using them now so get on it! and stops this nonsense you all are doing $5 a week to use a app Stop killing a good app
Great! ***Edit*** Ripppp
by JordyRulez on 2021/06/25 18:49
So glad they made an app to mix your tracks directly from Spotify.
For those of you that are bummed out because you thought it was going to let you make beats, just know that this software is not a DAW (digital audio workstation). Its sole purpose is for mixing tracks for iTunes and Spotify.
I haven't tried mixing tracks from iTunes yet so I can't make any judgements on that, however it is awesome for mixing tracks on Spotify.
Great work Devs!
Edit******* 6/25/21
Used to be good but now I can’t even USE the app unless I subscribe. Guess they got greedy. I purchased all the original add-ons and now I can’t even use them. Not sure how much money I spent on each individual add-on, but I’m sure they’ll all add up. I’m not subscribing, sorry.
But you can do you a big favor and refund all my money for a product that I rightly paid for to be able to use whenever I want at my own convenience, with which I can no longer have access to. Actually, I’m pretty sure you’re legally obligated to refund me for every feature I’ve paid for that you removed or rather put under subscription basis. I won’t subscribe for this very purpose. Not a very appropriate business model as far as anyone is concerned.
Have fun losing customers, because you lost me. Cheers
What a difference the update made
by DavidBryanSmith on 2021/06/24 20:28
The bug I reported has been fixed. My only real gripe so far is the picture suggestion for tracks on the automation function doesn’t do anything. It would be nice to add to those tracks by tapping the pic just like with the active tracks. The suggested tracks have no functionality other than a pic. Sometimes they pop up on the top bar when you add a track but often times they don’t.
I’ll be giving it the real test this weekend so I’ll. Update and let you know how it goes.
Don’t Believe the HYPE

Long time user disappointed
by loosebutthole on 2021/06/20 05:51
I get it. Spotify pulled out. Why can’t you make the app work well again with the iTunes music I have? Why should I have to subscribe to use the effects I paid for 5 years ago?
Pretty sad. Had some mixes I liked. Bye pacemaker.
Ok I'm leaving right now

by imjustintime on 2021/06/10 03:13
Been a user since the beginning, was great until the paywall started… why not just let us use for free with our own music library instead of streaming…
could use some more features and needs to be cheaper
by That one guy who farts on 2021/06/05 01:09
i love this app but i feel like theres more you could do here what i would like to see is an option to play only vocals or only instrumentals and possibly layer the two
i also cant get behind being a subscriber to make mixes
Can’t do anything
by Courts835 on 2021/06/03 13:12
Every single thing you click on brings you to a page to buy the app. Why offer it for free if you can’t do ANYTHING in the free version?!
Was great, now terrible
by unahppyx1000 on 2021/06/02 09:58
Your app for iPhone is terrible now. The AI hardly works anymore when trying to add songs to a playlist. It hardly shows songs that match tempo or “like music” your library is pathetically small.
This has been the worst switch over I’ve seen. Will be deleting
Not Bad
by DjLovejoy on 2021/06/01 19:17

Paid full price for this. Not usable unless I sub weekly?👎

Non of the music in your Spotify playlists works and you have to pay so much for the subscription that essentially allows you to switch songs! Not cool

Of course, force me to subscribe to use it
are you kidding me
by the big, bad review man on 2021/05/23 16:48
way too much money for a music playing app that can't even play all my music. it's really just Crossfade and EQ settings... how different is this really from Spotify?
Worst app ever
by bass-blaster420 on 2021/05/19 20:11
I was hoping to be able to use this app but after downloading it for FREE I can’t do anything FOR FREE accept look at the home page. Can’t listen to music, can’t mix music, can’t even hear a sample of any music at all. This is officially the worst app on the AppStore.
File
by zook da nook on 2021/05/19 04:56
It would be smart if yall add a file opener where we can remix our filed music. Please nd thanks.
My favorite DJ app - now dead
by TomtTom on 2021/05/15 06:07
One of those moments, I would consider a zero star…
My favorite DJ app, easy to use… I had so many great parties with it before COVID…
I’m happy to pay for a good app, but not a weekly subscription…
Good bye and rest in pieces… tears…
Ok ok... quick note
by Irieiwiqoroot4828 on 2021/05/14 19:49
90% of my Spotify playlist was unavailable, and tossed in songs I don’t listen to. If you listen to music that’s not on the radio then this app isn’t for you. But I honestly don’t know if it even works? Never tried because I couldn’t play my music. If I’m doing something wrong? Lmk I’ll change my review.
They removed Spotify
by nctmustang on 2021/05/13 21:54
Thanks to big business they made it where this small business can’t be at its full potential you guys had a good thing going but Spotify basically ran you out of business (at least your full potential business) but if you’re fine having a small selection of music I’d get it but they made this app worthless
Doesn’t have all the music I need and not intuitive to use.
by jlclmcedc325 on 2021/05/10 10:08
The App is not a solution for making mixes as it doesn’t have all the music Spotify has so when I go to work with a playlist it’s pointless. Plus it’s not as intuitive to use as I’d hoped.
Really gone downhill
by Jhliberty on 2021/05/09 23:29
I paid for this app when it originally came out to unlock fx and such and now I can’t even use the app unless I subscribe to them in addition to subscribing to my music provider
No thanks, I already paid for the fx I’m not gonna pay monthly to unlock features I’ve already paid for in the past.
Wish I could get a refund on my original purchase for this app many years ago since I can’t actually use the features I paid for.
Skip this app - they will remove features you’ve paid for and ask for more and more money.
Destroyed the app
by coco_monki on 2021/05/09 20:18
Thank you for destroying this app ! It was an amazing app and now not only want to charge a monthly subscription but also songs in Spotify are not available? This a joke right ? You guys are very stupid
I use to love this
by drummerbronx on 2021/05/08 06:01
Than you went with a 5 dollars a week. 5 a month would have been alright. Also you no longer except Spotify. I would give a zero for greediness. Most subscriptions are 9.99. People are on hard times, Covid-19, storms all over the U.S . W e went through bidder cold and no lights for 5 days in the state of Texas. I’m deleting the app. A big let down.
Paywalls galore
by MuffinToppings on 2021/05/07 23:41
Everything is hidden behind a paywall...the app used to be way better
Used to be good!
by wizards mind bomb on 2021/05/05 01:49
“Update app to view your mixes”
Updates the FREE app to find a 5 dollar a week paywall!
Thanks for nothing
Why Subscription?!
by jadeplays._.roblox on 2021/05/02 08:46
The second I download it I have to pay for subscription to use it. I already hate the fact you have to pay for subscription to use the app
Pacemaker Changes
by Hoaxoneder on 2021/05/01 21:26
I see several critical responses to the updated app and the fact that many songs will no longer work. Of course, this is sad and it was for myself as many mixes have been lost for the moment.
The issue here is not something that Pacemaker decided to do. Spotify stopped supporting dj apps or in other words, will no longer allow music that is in their catalog (spotify) to be accessed via Pacemaker.
Pacemaker is trying to do the right thing. They have taken the correct route in licensing music from Sony and Warner. Music is not free. Songwriters created the songs and it is their livelihood. Pacemaker is paying to be able to have access to these songs so that in turn, the writers and publishers of these works get paid for the usage of it. Simple as that. You can’t expect to go to a Dr’s visit and not pay for the work done.
So big ups to Pacemaker for doing what is right and ensuring that songwriters get paid their fair share.
Rip off
by masterblender32 on 2021/05/01 00:25
Garbage it’s wants you to pay a subscription
Has been
by Austinmam on 2021/04/27 14:51
Pacemaker was a fun a good app to use. Helps you get used to counting beats and mixing music. However they really sh*t the bed when they changed over the music.... can’t play any of my mixes now nor do we have enough music to even make more. Hopefully they go back to the old or hurry up and get music onto the app again

I am so sad to say that my Pacemaker no longer works properly and it appears that I am now being hijacked to pay $4.99/week. It worked fine until I began taking the updates.
I paid for this application over 4 yrs ago and put it on my iPad and iphone but when I go to tap the link to restore purchase it does not work. I am now left with an app that is useless. $4.99 per week is also highway robbery. I have a gig to do in 2 weeks and I am now in panic mode and so terribly sad that supporting them even paying a fee back years ago does not allow me continued usage. I’ve even sent in fantastic feedback as a deejay and music curator respected the world over for my achievements in the world of soulful dance music. I am one of 11,500 voting members for The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and signed developed and released a body of of music of 1000 singles and 80 LP’s Licenced signed and appreciated the world over.
There’s no way for me to even contact customer support when the application opens up as well.
Hopefully someone reads this at the company and does the right thing here reinstating my original purpose.
What the heck happened?
by TBoy#151131 on 2021/04/23 14:26
I used this app along time ago (like 5 years ago) with a free month trial of Spotify premium. I never actually had Spotify premium until now in that time period so I was hyped to use this app again. I come back now I have to pay to use it?! That’s one of the stupidest things ever I don’t understand. There’s not even a free version?
Too exensive!
by genexo on 2021/04/23 09:49
This app was great when it was released
They need aimmixer only version i have my own music dont need third party music.
Can’t do anything without paying
by Y0mama25 on 2021/04/23 00:39
Wouldn’t be surprised if I had to subscribe to breathe while having the app open. The concept is cool, however the main purpose of the app is blocked by a payroll.
From Perfect to Good
by CPB.EazyBreezy on 2021/04/22 18:45
I downloaded this app before the move away from Spotify and aside from small technical issues playing, making, and sharing playlist/mixes was the best thing I've ever experienced from an app. Creating a mix is simple enough for anyone to do and fun enough to really make you enjoy different types of music. Not to mention the community shares a love for music and is so welcoming and supportive.
My issue now is the shift away from Spotify which made music options limited. Most of my mixes now are too similar for me to really develop any unique sounds. Also the pay wall that limits who you can share your created sounds with.
However there is enough music and variety to still get a kick out of making a mix and the music options are slowly growing so it's not all bad. If you enjoy music, you'll enjoy this app and for $4.99/week it's worth it. Especially if you can get friends to pay and collab/enjoy on your mixes.
Forced subscription
by evrydymshuffln on 2021/04/20 21:25
THIS IS TRASH!!!! It forces you to subscribe and pay money. Why not just make the app paid. This is stupid
this app was good before spotify stopped syncing with it
by ndoxbebidhrnir on 2021/04/18 22:24
this used to be good when it synced with spotify and had every song and you could use it for free. now you have to pay for it and there's only like a tenth of the songs you'd want on here
Updated Version is Useless
by maddyt53 on 2021/04/16 05:08
I used to LOVE this app and use it constantly even just to listen to music, but ever since they switched to this new version that requires you to subscribe its completely useless. None of the music I want to mix is even available to play anymore ! I lost all my mixes in the update because I can’t even play any of the songs. If you’re gonna try to make something useful for people to get into DJ-ing, maybe don’t minimize your audience by leaving out a whole realm of electronic and club subgenres.
Have to pay monthly subscription
by Leigh Jane Mar on 2021/04/15 04:20
I used to love this app but now they won’t let me play any of my mixtapes unless I pay a monthly subscription. Don’t recommend this app unless they change the feature back.
You were good
by Forced to on 2021/04/14 13:40
You were so good when it was free. Spent hundreds of hours on it at night, between classes and when I was down. Helped me learn music but I know that now since you don’t have the right to incorporate Spotify with it you have to make us pay; however, I refuse to pay for Spotify for this. I like mixing music but not to the point I’ll pay for it to mix. The review is solely for turning it from a free app to a MUST pay APP. I’m truly sad that I have to delete it now 😔
A Free Paywall
by ItsAvo_ on 2021/04/13 16:57
The whole app is just a paywall. You have to pay 15$ a month just for a app, I would be okay if some songs were locked behind pay wall but none are.
Don’t be fooled
by johnokfine on 2021/04/13 08:03
Don’t be fooled by the youtube tutorials. Interface is frustrating and clunky to get things right. No recording the mixes so I guess have fun posting it to the internal forum? $5 a week is nothing short of insane for a frustrating app, and by the way, with Spotify you’ll find most songs not available. Steer clear. There are plenty fine free options.
UPDATE RUINED IT.
by MrBeeWax on 2021/04/10 04:32
This app was my Go-To! I had some great mixes that I’d listen to to and from work, and my Spotify would tag team and it was awesome!
But here we go, an update that said it would be charging me every week. Then, it got rid of most of the music. So half of my mixes are no longer vibing! I redownloaded but even the features when adding a song, it almost goes nothing with it. Please go back to your old ways!!! I was a huge fan!
Locked
by rossthegardener on 2021/04/08 23:28
In Pacemaker 3.0, it locks you out of the app until you pay a fee of $5.00 a week
What about my paid license 😡
by Mickey Montealvo on 2021/04/08 19:47
I read all the complaints. The fact that you want to try a new business model, doesn’t give you the right to discontinue the previously paid licenses, and in-app purchases. By ignoring paid customer’s legitimate complaints, makes it worse. 😡
After a long silence, Pacemaker decided to answer to the complaints with a template excuse. The apology completely contradicts on how pacemaker features the changes on the app store, and in the app.
Actions speak louder than words.
I am very disappointed. I will escalate with Apple. I want my money back! 😡
Why is the app free??
by FinessingZaddy2104 on 2021/04/08 14:29
What’s the point of making a free app when you have to pay for the main thing they advertise?!?!
Knocking off a Star
by Jjthehype on 2021/04/07 05:28
Listen! As a music lover, enthusiasts and music creator, this app was the best thing on the App Store. Like they all say good things can’t last forever we all know the reason why Spotify isn’t supporting this app anymore; it has to do with revenue streams and artist not receiving royalties. All this app had to do (Pacemaker) was charge the user more which I would have gladly paid. I’d pay up to $25-$30/m for this app because it’s that good and could be even better than it was (multitude of app crashes). Teaching fitness classes, this app changes the game as well as listening to mixes by myself for my own pleasure. Now I can’t even do that with the countless gaps in the music that aren’t even available anymore. It took Spotify 4 years to add Beyoncé’s full discography and it will probably take this app countless years to add the music catalogues from our favorites artists. So thanks for trying to remedy the issue of Spotify and Apple not supporting your app but no thanks. Fun while it lasted. Leaving 4 stars for the good memories of using this app but I will not pay $16.99 for an 1/8 of the music available to me as before. Work on fixing the issue. Raise the price even and I’ll be back once the music is back.
Had Purchased The FX Pack
by ikingapple on 2021/04/05 05:07
Now I can’t access anything, I must subscribe?
Unusable
by Shosbit on 2021/04/04 18:44
The app was great until the most recent update. Now it’s COMPLETELY unusable. I no longer can play music on the app period.
Making me pay even thought I have Spotify?
by Matt Cheever on 2021/04/04 16:19
I used this app a while ago when it was in its first stages but I lost my premium for Spotify so I couldn’t use the app which I understand but now you have to pay $5 to even use it? I loved this app but now it’s just gonna get deleted.
Dramatic drop in music availability
by stevendodson on 2021/04/03 21:26
This app used to have a really wide selection of music since it was integrated with Spotify. It still is linked, but I can really only access about 10% of the music that I want to use. The app isn’t very forthcoming about it. I made a long mix from last year that’s entirely unlistenable now because of all the removals- and these aren’t really obscure songs either. Until Pacemaker figures out how to get a much wider array of music on here it’s a pretty functionally hopeless app. If things change I’d be happy to re-subscribe though. It’s a shame- it was previously a 5 star app. Bummer.
Changed
by ok so basically on 2021/04/02 21:47
I got this back in October. Most of it was free but i could still play off of Spotify. Know they make me pay for Spotify.
Reasons why I deleted this app
by CjKraze on 2021/04/02 19:57
So my question is, why are u guys making people pay to use the app? like dang is y’all really that broke? This app is not worth $5 a week just to use the entire app. You guys could’ve atleast made another app that is actually worth $5 and not a week but a month. In conclusion I’m saying this app should be completely free because u guys are playing urselves out of users on the app .
This app isn’t good
by Dylan6855 on 2021/04/01 06:27
The app is not free at all! Once you download it they want you to play about 5/ weekly. The apps was in fact free during the summer of 2020.
AWFUL
by Jimmy From State Farm 43 on 2021/03/31 01:58
All the developers do is respond to reviews with the same bot response. This app can’t be used for a reasonable price, it should be FREE.
I want Spotify
by Speeder11252 on 2021/03/30 03:32
Useless
Can’t Sync Spotify
Shows grayed out songs or songs that
You can only play with prescription.
I Dumped The App
Money grabbing in effect now
by Al In EFX on 2021/03/29 12:40
Imagine: having a customer pay $40 a year for the app, and it works well for over 5 years. Then they decide to go for the cash crab and increase it to almost $200 a year and making it WORSE! That’s what they’ve done to this app. And if you’ve got a yearly plan, the app (after asking for a while) just wholesale switches you to the new option (where you can’t sync songs from your library EVEN if you have Apple Music, nexuses the old subscription hasn’t ended and you can’t pay for the new one yet).
Just a disaster. Almost like they “Whedonized” the app, like Joss Whedon totally destroyed a great movie like Justice League.
Avoid! And this is coming from a former supporter and promoter of this app.
Cant even use the app anymore
by Kfhsyajhdjd on 2021/03/25 17:24
I’ve had pacemaker on my devices for years and really enjoyed it. Paid for all the extra effects and now I cant use the app without paying for a monthly subscription. It costs me more to use this app than it costs for me to have a spotify premium account. Really bummed that the time has come to delete this app. Thanks developers for making an awesome app something that I cant even use now.
Horrible now
by jonboji on 2021/03/25 14:17
Bad bad. No songs. Useless
WAS A GREAT APP!
by Mejiany on 2021/03/24 16:19
IT WAS a great app when it supported fully spotify, ow it just supports playlists and on top of that you have to pay a monthly suscription which to me, it is not worth it!!! Its a shame though
They’re not partnered with Spotify anymore
by Nacho+cheese on 2021/03/24 04:32
Can’t even use my Spotify music not even worth it anymore
What happened?
by retroflyingsaucerpong on 2021/03/22 18:43
Free version is absolutely unusable. Personal music library is inaccessible and old mixes have been wiped. Not everyone streams their music and it's rude to assume people want to pay for a streaming service AND this app. Instead of brightening my day, I'm now frustrated. Horrible. Deleted.
Horrible. Just horrible.
by biiig bobbbn on 2021/03/18 17:11
I am beyond disappointed in your decision to leave Spotify. I get that you wanna be your own thing, but all of your users were enjoying the app just the way it was. None of us wanted this, none of us asked for this, none of us even thought that Pacemaker being with Spotify was an issue.
Now, most of my songs aren't even available, making my mixes feel unsatisfactory. I've also noticed that the transitions have seemingly
gotten worse.
You guys gotta get your act together, because I am DEFINITELY not the only one who is understandably ticked off by your random decision to just completely abandon Spotify.
What a difference the update made
by DavidBryanSmith on 2021/06/24 20:28
The bug I reported has been fixed. My only real gripe so far is the picture suggestion for tracks on the automation function doesn’t do anything. It would be nice to add to those tracks by tapping the pic just like with the active tracks. The suggested tracks have no functionality other than a pic. Sometimes they pop up on the top bar when you add a track but often times they don’t.
I’ll be giving it the real test this weekend so I’ll. Update and let you know how it goes.
Almost love at first sight
by jingai on 2019/03/26 02:11
Where to start? Was getting into it... tried to add a new effect. All it suggests is some crazy $5 A WEEK subscription. Sorry, this is NOT a $260 a year app by any means. Where are the individual effect purchases listed on the App Store? That’s super reasonable and a pretty awesome business model.
Then I’m getting used to it and getting into it and jamming, then suddenly it jumps to the very beginning of my mix and I’m like what the heck is going on?! Where’s the play head?
Sorry. This app is so desperately needed... perfect working and functional contrast to the other lead dj app here. Fix the biz model and back button UX mess, and you could win. Do NOT make this a forced subscription for FX. Check reviews of that other app, and you’ll see they get nothing but grief from let down customers. Good luck. Hope you make the right choices. I was seriously ready to give you $10 right off the bat for the FX pack, but can’t even figure out how to do that the UX is so bad. Way to ruin our first date. Don’t want to, but maybe have to move on.
Most expensive app I pay for, is it worth it?
by evanovich555 on 2019/04/17 19:49
I pay more than any other app for this, $15 every 3 months....and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I load up the app I am confronted with “Do you like Pacemaker? Leave us a review! No? Tell us why!” and have to perform thumb gymnastics to get to the TINY X at the very top right of my 8+ screen. Their blatant disregard of the “In-App Ratings & Reviews” setting in the appstore (and Apple’s lack of enforcement) are very disenchanting for my most expensive app.
I second other reviews about the dismay of the fx being subscription based. I understand the “it costs money to make all the wheels go around and provide our users with a killer app and constant upgrades” mentality but that doesn’t jive with the amount of money the developer makes from sales of the vast and unique data harvested from us users. Not to mention they most likely already have oodles of venture capital...
YES the ui/ux is way slick. However, navigating around users, globals, recommends is a cumbersome nightmare. The inability to adjust the BPMs from track to track is a joke and almost defeats the entire purpose.
WHY ARE THE IPAD APP AND THE IPHONE APP SO RADICALLY DIFFERENT!? The features avail on ipad are sorely needed on the iphone version and vice versa.
Again, for the amount of money I pay, I would expect more.
All these rants aside, I still use the app and the automix feature does a freakishly good job most of the time.
Subscription really?!?!
by ShowtimexE on 2021/03/01 03:11
I purchased all the effects A few years back and I’ve been enjoying this app ever since now after this update I somehow cannot use it anymore to DJ I have to have a subscription to DJ while I already had power all the in app of purchases so for you guys to do that and not at least let people that have had this out for years now like stick with that or allow them to have that option which is DJ on that I use app it makes no sense I am very disappointed this is not an any Wayfare and get business I think you guys should consider reading this and changing your policy or just no subscription at least for me and those I have had this out for years now I depend on it since I’m a DJ and I can’t be paying for a subscription I just so dumb when there was no subscription to be paid a few months ago this is what you call innovation progress well I don’t see it I just see it as another way to make more money from us
A Cluster of Bad UI with confusing and pointless features.
by ComedyDZN on 2019/12/20 00:31
I feel like the developers wanted to make a sleek and fluid app UI, which I totally applaud. It’s almost 2020 and ugly apps just aren’t it. That being said, there is an extent to which trying to oversimplify stuff that already works just doesn’t help. Navigating the app is an absolute NIGHTMARE. Confusing main menus literally make it so hard to find the simplest stuff. I was in the middle of my 300 minute playlist of the Godspeed You! Black Emperor playlist and decided to go looking at other playlists; but when I was scrolling through the laggy and annoyingly heavy-feeling public playlists, it would select a random playlist because it cares more about being a good looking, fundamentally broken, and annoyingly dumbed down app. You guys feel like it is a good idea to restrict so much view space and go for this abomination of an app style. Seriously reconsider.
New 3.0 version is completely unsatisfactory
by 5incl4ir on 2020/12/18 01:35
I have been using this app and paying for it for the last several years and absolutely loved it. But since this new 3.0 update,I can only access a quarter of the songs from my old mixes. A 60 min playlist is now 15 min long at best. Not only can I not use my mixes anymore but everyone else’s mixes only have about a 1/4 of the songs in them as well. The selection that is available on there now is unsatisfactory to say the least. If pacemaker cannot get access to all of these songs back, I will have to cancel my subscription and use another app such as Rock My Run or Fit Radio instead. This app created a passion for me in making my own playlists for my classes. I feel like a part of me is lost now without it. Do not get this app unless they can get the rights back to all of the music they previously had! Make this right Pacemaker
Good app
by jonatheibart on 2019/03/15 17:53
Though I wish it worked with Apple Music (which I know is beyond the developers’ control and is the same for all these types of apps) this app is definitely the best of its kind. That being said there are various glitches, like sometimes it plays the songs as if they have been mixed but doesn’t show that they have been and doesn’t allow you to move the tracks and edit them; restarting the app usually fixes this but not always. Also I wish there was an easier way to choose the order of the tracks rather than scrolling endlessly, and I wish that you could import a whole playlist in the order that the playlist is in rather than mixing a few songs from it.
Great Idea, Poor Execution
by Animaldrummer04 on 2017/10/02 21:01
On a surface level, this is a great app. I appreciate the BPM analyzer recommending potential next tracks when building a playlist, and the editing ability (pro subscription) is good. However, for the life of me I cannot understand why - if you were only going to allow playlist creation and editing on one platform - you would choose iPhone over iPad. Maybe the developers are under the impression that “less is more” when it comes to screen real estate, but I’m here to tell you that that is not the case. At all. Very frustrating having to edit on such a small screen - and I have a 6s+! For this reason, I am searching for another (more user friendly) way to edit my playlists. My sausage fingers have had enough with this app.
You need some serious updates
by Imbad3423 on 2019/12/31 13:36
I’m a set it and forget it type of guy. With that being said I purchased this app so I could make kill playlists with the feel of a DJ controlling everything. Using this app started of as a good thing but as of late as I’ve been using this app the playlists have been crashing halfway at random spots and cutting short of the playlist times.
Since use this app for my group fitness classes these crashes in the app makes for uncomfortable silences at points in the class in which the energy from the music is needed most. I’ve tried emailing support but they don’t seem to really care. If this continues to be the case and updates aren’t made to solve this problem then I will have no issue with cancelling my subscription.

Long Time User Cancelled
by Crazy Excalibur on 2021/02/23 22:07
I’ve been a long time user and absolutely loved this app. Unfortunately the price has just sky rocketed. In that process the app hasn’t been made that much better. This costs more than what I pay for Apple Music for my entire family and Apple Music has way more music. If this app was better, like consistent across iPad and iPhone, AND if I could stream my mix tapes via Apple Watch it might be worth the price. The only thing the Apple Watch is good for is a remote control to your phone, which it’s been like this for years. Make the Apple Watch stream the mixes so I can use this expensive app when I go on runs and I might consider the cost. I pay for an entire office suite from Microsoft for less. It’s just too expensive.
Pretty amazing app (for me)
by KoaGrenz on 2020/05/17 06:48
I saw this app a long time ago while scrolling through story’s on Instagram, and I thought nothing of it. This time I saw it again, and I thought “hmm, maybe I should just give it a try”. Well dam is it amazing! It may be a little hard to understand how things work at first, But it’s easy to figure out. So nothing to bad. I already made a 3 1/2 hour mix of songs I love! This is a game changer for me and my friends who want a homemade radio station type vibe. And I mean can we talk about the transitions!
👌🏽😩 honestly for me they’re amazing! What can I say, 5 stars my friend.
This used to be a good application.
by micah 44 on 2017/11/16 19:01
As a completely blind person who is a DJ, are used to love this app. Granted, manually mixing on other apps is doable on the iPhone, but without any physical controller in my hand, it was more difficult. This app was even smart enough to change the EQ of the tracks depending on what part was playing. It was even smart enough to cut the tracks off at the exact times, just like a normal DJ would. However, The update that brought this social features to this app has completely ruined the accessibility, therefore making the app completely useless to people like me. And that was over two years ago, and it has not been fixed. Please make this app accessible again as soon as possible. I actually depended on your app whenever I was too tired to mix myself.
Disappointed with performance
by Lisawithtwoboys on 2021/01/28 16:15
I have been a Pacemaker subscriber for more than three years. When many of my playlists lost many songs, I loved the app so much I figured out could make it work.
In the last week however, the performance is the app is dismal. It will not pull up tracks in my library it it takes FOREVER to pull them up. My phone and the app are all updated so I know that is not the problem. The search feature for tracks is also horrible. This is incredibly disappointing given that most members are losing a lot of tracks. Now we have a subpar app to deal with too. I’ll give it a few more weeks, and if it doesn’t improve, a subpar app and subpar tracks give me no reason to spend money on it anymore.
Great for exercising!!!
by W477Y on 2017/08/05 20:18
I use this app at the gym and while running. I can load any of my iTunes playlists of individual tracks and it's like a DJ is mixing my playlist for me. Granted the transitions from track to track aren't always that great, but other times the transitions are amazing! No more downtime while tracks are ending and starting. The intensity of my runs and work outs has drastically increased because of this app.
Some options I'd like to see and even be willing to pay for are...
1.the ability to rate a transition so the app can learn when it's working well and when it's not.
2.When I'm in the lock out screen and I hit the next track button it jumps the current song ahead to where the app was planning on mixing the next track instead of forcing the mix at that point like it will do when inside the app.
Again, love this app even though I don't use it for its intended purpose.
There’s no point in buying this
by jayden mogan on 2020/12/06 19:27
When I was getting it it was free so ya know I thought it was gonna be free I could make some pretty good music and mashups but when I loaded in it was just a stupid scam that I had to pay 7.99$ for per month for no reason it’s nothing so idk why I have to pay for it at least just make it free to use and have it free where we could use it there are just some features that require payment instead of making the whole app 7.99$ for nothing
A few “great” things about the new update
by Dpaul Dquan Lucy on 2021/02/25 05:54
Update 3.0 was amazing I really loved these features:
- you can no longer play 99% of your songs
- you have to pay for pacemaker + to do anything now
- Previously purchased effects from way back to before + are no longer usable without paying for a premium service (because you can’t use the app without a subscription)
- the app is slower than slow
- hopefully you want to pay 5 dollars a week to listen to like 10 percent of your previously made playlists!
This update really knocked it out of the park! Great job!
What the heck happened to this app. There is NO reason that I shouldn’t be able to use Pacemaker like I have been for the past 4 years. I paid for the ability to use features in this app and now I can’t even use those features without paying for a subscription. These guys are crooks. It doesn’t really matter though because even if I could still use the app without paying 20 bucks a month they quit supporting like 99% of there music anyway. Overall do not download.
Top in Its Class
by Kcbnyc on 2019/09/25 14:24
Pacemaker is a very cool app. Better than Pyro (IMHO). Will it replace Traktor or DJ Pro? No. However, if you want to throw together a nice mix tape for the workout, party, or road trip then this is a fun And easy app to use. The graphics are great.
I love the community of mixers! I can always find excellent mix tapes.
If this could detect bars and phrases of tracks, it would be out of this world.
$4.95/week is a little steep. Especially since traktor costs around $150.
The ability to export the track list would be awesome!

Buggy

Hi, ive been playing with this app for a while now and I loce it. But if I'm going to pay this much for it, I would really appreciate if you guys could squash at least most of the bugs. On my iPhone 12, I have experienced spontaneous crashes, the scrubber completely ignoring me when I touch it with my finger, and most of all, when I add a new song, very often there is not transition that shows up on the timeline and pressing that little lightning button literally does nothing (even when I jam it repeatedly). The fix for all of these issues is always the same, restart the all. But it's frustrating how often I need to do this
Perfect for group fitness
by Emilia R. S. on 2018/12/27 02:39
Really cool app! Highly recommend if you’re a trainer who gets to pick their music for fitness classes. Love being able to create my own mixes without an awkward pause and without having to play the entire song. I’ve had multiple problems with my account login information, my app quitting suddenly, or my subscription (even though I paid for a year already). However, I still rate 5 stars because of the amazing customer service/support team.
New and Frustrated with No Help fr Pacemaker
by MSSLNX on 2019/11/29 22:53
I’m new to Apple products and Pacemaker. I have painfully and unsuccessfully searched for tutorials and information on how to use my iPod and iPad for pacemaker. I can’t change the bpm on my iPod with pacemaker, but I can sync the bpm on my iPad. I can save a plalylist on my iPod, but I can’t save a playlist or mix on my iPad. I can’t use my iTunes on either because my tracks are now with Apple Music. I purchased the year subscription for an app that is not integrated and does not have the same functionality on the iPod and the iPad! Im frustrated and disappointed that I wasted so much money and time in this app, the iPod and the iPad.
We have sent emails to Pacemaker and have not received any response.
TOTAL BAIT AND SWITCH (And They Know It)
by Centim6 on 2021/09/17 01:47
So the app opens up, even loads up your songs from Apple Music. And then, it happens. You’re offered to subscribe to Pacemaker+. You decline and you’re back at the song list. Press your song choice again, and it’s back to the ad. At this point, you realize this is a bait and switch. Nevermind they forced people to update without publicly acknowledging the major changes ahead. So disappointed they don’t even offer the regular dj features anymore. I’ll find a replacement app, but nothing will beat it. And regardless of the reply, unless it’s offering your users the ability to revert to just the core app, nothing will be of true resolve.
Why even have the pop up?
by hirophant on 2021/01/29 19:17
Why do you have a pop up every time someone touches their screen? Better yet why even have it be a free download, there is not a single thing in this app that you can do without plus, YOU CANT EVEN LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLES MIXES THAT THEY POSTED. The pop up that never leaves should not say “get the full experience” because you don’t have anything to begin with. What you should have put is “get the experience” just leave out the full and then it wouldn’t be false advertising and lying to everyone who downloads the app. You couldn’t even put like 20 tracks people could have used to test the app before your greed took over?
Ha! What a joke for an appp
by greyson1993 on 2020/12/22 21:19
If I could leave 0 stars I would. You thought blocking me on Instagram would keep me from getting the word out but NOPE. For an app the user pays for this thing constantly glitches and freezes. The new update literally wrecked all of your playlist and removed THOUSANDS of songs from the set list to choose from. “Stick with us” they said after 🥴 don’t waste your time or money you will only have about 10% of your music in your library to use. Maybe 1% of that will actually mix and then it will glitch anyway. I’m choosing not to curse so this doesn’t get taken off but rest assure I would if I could.
My favorite instrument besides guitar
by fishypapas on 2020/04/16 07:41
I’ve been using this app for years to transcribe music. Easy to loop specific parts then slow them down. And it’s great for making loops to practice playing over.
I love the flat graphic style of this app and glad the team has resisted the temptation to bloat it with junk. Some nice motion design details all over, from the screen transitions to the little icons that pulse when they’re on. Inspiring stuff.
Great App!
by Juliannn103 on 2021/02/05 09:14
I wanna start by saying that the app is so much fun to use. And easy kinda....the one thing that bothers me is that sometimes the music won’t show up at the top when I search for a song...instead you have to scroll through many random songs to find the song you're looking for. That and the price are the low points of the app. As for everything else 👌👌👌
Don’t Update to 3.0
by SoMichael on 2020/12/17 07:10
I used to love this app. Would use it’s automix feature when I want a simple mixtape for a night walk or drive. I was able to do that for free even if I couldn’t adjust the weird transitions or levels. Something I was fine with. The auto mixing feature on this app is amazing and the best I have seen for a quick to go mix.
But unfortunately, you have to pay $8 a WEEK to use this app now. I get every app developer needs money and there are music licensing issues that Pacemaker has been dealing with, but I have no idea why they won’t let free users exist on the app anymore.
I have used this app for about a year now and loved it. I wished I could just do a one time buy to keep using it. I would easily pay $15 dollars or so for it, but the subscription model as finally turned me away and made it unusable for free users.
I can’t justify spending over 20 bucks a month for a mixing app, and I have a feeling most people won’t either.
Fix ur app❤️
by drebyron on 2020/11/11 08:27
This app is the best at what it does, I’ve tried a lot of these apps. The matching AI is good. The auto mixing isn’t great, but why get a mixing app if you’re not going to do it yourself you know. But my main concern is that at random times this app gets unbearably glitchy. I’ll play around with two songs and when I listen back to the stitch, my actions don’t register and I have to refresh the app to try again. Again, I love this app but it’s been out too long for it to be acting up like it does. Please fix, thanks.

by Sinai.Daqiqi on 2018/04/18 12:41
Using this app isn’t fun anymore just because of the new technology you’re using. Your team says that the new analyzer technology can’t gather the songs information in the other hand i can’t play with spoty music cause if the net is on push notifications distribs the volume while I’m palying in party. Please make the analyzer work with local musics. It’s getting on my nerves and i have to use other apps that do the same. Please make it happen.
LET US KEEP OUR MUSIC PLEASE
by otfcoachk on 2020/12/17 20:17
As a fitness coach, pacemaker is an amazing app to let us personalize our playlists without having to play with our phone to change songs. I’ve been using this app religiously for years and have about 200 mixtapes I recycle and continue to make new ones. But PLEASE, LET US KEEP OUR MUSIC!! Too many changes in music licensing and we are losing all of our past playlists with updates. Please, keep it the same and let us keep the playlists already made and don’t take our songs away!!
Used to be such a fan…
by KingOEgypt on 2021/09/25 00:18
I paid for this app back when it was a one-time payment. Enjoyed the features enough and liked showing it off to friends every now and then. Came back one day to find that I pretty much threw my money away since they decided to become a subscription based app. No discount for their early supporters, no new features to justify the insane markup in price. Disappointed in this business model, $4.99 a week is an egregious price for a mixing app of this kind. Maybe one day they’ll attempt to win me back somehow.
So many glitches
by Torismash on 2020/02/19 14:26
Pacemaker glitches constantly. Will not play playlists or gets stuck on the same songs. I’ve submitted for help before with no reply. I recently downloaded pyro to replace it and haven’t had any issues. I absolutely do not recommend pacemaker to anyone especially those that use it for group fitness classes. It’s caused far too many problems and to pay what I do monthly such a simple issue should not be recurring. I’m shocked that there aren’t more reviews stating this bc the company I work for I hear multiple complaints about the same issue daily.
Great app...with a price
by Sleazynoir on 2020/12/14 20:17
Does everything I want out of a DJ app- music mixing and finding music. The almost too huge of a downside is of course the subscription service which I do want to pay for- albeit it’s 5 dollars a WEEK. Be wary. If you don’t pay the app starts to mysteriously act up and never work quite right however it’s still a great interface and easy way into DJ’ing
Amazing and so much fun!
by JohnnyDubstarWhite on 2018/02/20 13:11
This app is so awesome. It seas designed very well and makes it incredibly easy to put seamless mixes together. And if you are more experienced you can really blend some tracks together into something special. I’ve mixed a couple playlists together to use while coaching my Orangetheory Fitness classes and they were a hit! And making mixes can be highly addicting! 🤪🙌🏼
A warning to others
by electrosuicide on 2021/11/10 04:51
I paid in full for this app and all of its add-ons previously. When I inquired about the removal of my access to an app that I paid for, I was given access to the old version via Test Flight, which has now been taken away as well, leaving me only to subscribe to pieced together half hearted software at an extreme premium.
My only recourse now is to warn others to stay away. The app could change without warning and remove paid features or further degrade functionality for the same price or even more.
You pay for access to the app. It never belongs to you. If you subscribe to it, treat it as if the features or the app itself could be removed at any moment. Don’t treat it as more than just a fun toy.
It is the first app I’ve ever paid for and purchased all features because I was so impressed. At one time, this was exciting software.
Fool me once…
Wow, This is amazing!
by Lbs anderson on 2018/12/31 01:39
I’ve been using this app to create special mixes for different events such as New Year’s Eve and it killed it! Yes, the transitions may be a little bad sometimes, but an app this great has to have at least one flaw. Other apps you have to pay to use or are just to complicated. But not this one! I’ve been looking for an app like this for awhile, so glad I found this!!!!!!!!
Honestly I was loving this App until...
by ColeGoddard on 2020/02/19 01:26
It started crashing anytime I tried playing one of my playlists. I’m an instructor and rely on this app to hit sprints perfectly and now I can’t even play music through it anymore.
Please for the love of music and teaching fix this immediately.
It was very buggy from the beginning often times not letting me edit transitions in the moment or I’d start a playlist and it would only play the first song and then stop. But now I can’t play my playlists at all!
Was a great app before subscription base
by Skrhak on 2021/07/03 20:00
I absolutely loved this app when I original purchased it. I paid a flat fee for Pacemaker and loved it so much I invested more money into it purchasing additional type of effects. Then one day Pacemaker got a update and was now monthly subscription based? Now if I wanted to continue to use Pacemaker I needed to pay $5 a month. Apple shouldn’t allow apps be able to suddenly go subscription based. Now the app is useless. Does not work unless you subscribe. All the money I invested into the Pacemaker is gone. Very disappointed.
Couldn’t be happier than without it!
by Hihihihihihihihibitch on 2020/08/29 10:57
Sorry for the rough riding, glad you made it Bro. All of you included in that gender neutral usage of the word “Bro”, including those I may have forgotten to forgive. I forgive and love and acknowledge and value all of you not to mention I owe you all some big bucks. I’m sure we’ll be able to work it out now that I’ve graduated :). Cool, cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool beesZzzzzZ.
Expensive novelty
by Diddle my fiddle on 2019/12/20 08:41
This app could be pretty useful and more convenient if we were able to save mixes offline, had more control over how we cut the music up, and just general bug fixes. The app tends to get very weird when you use it for prolonged periods. While I understand that not all of this is in their control, what is in their control is the cost, For a fun little novelty they charge $5 a week, or $8 a month!
This app has been gutted
by getms420 on 2020/12/18 22:07
What happened to this app can’t even do anything because you have to pay for premium. You pay for premium guess what now you have limited songs to even use so those nice playlist you probably spent hours even days mixing are all now chopped up. So there’s no real way to even fixingThis app even if you’re trying hard enough to work around your limitations I’m disappointed this was the one app that made it easy to mix music now it is just another money hungry trash of a service
Tempo changer?
by HotDoggggss on 2018/03/05 19:05
Did you take out the tempo feature because that was the only reason I got the app
Do you think it would be possible to add the tempo changer to the next update??? I don't have an iPad and I find that feature the most useful? I love the app by the way I just wish it had that one extra feature
Needs Work
by Unhappy Camper Pro on 2019/02/09 19:54
Unfortunately, the iPhone version is a huge disappointment when compared to the iPad version, the absence of some of the most useful features renders this version useless.
It’s essentially an app offering song matching based on BPM as its greatest asset, I don’t want to be unkind, but otherwise it’s just a glorified fade/transition tool. Not useful at all, even with the extra features available for purchase. I’m not sure who could actually find great benefit from using this app.
It won’t mix anything for you, which is fine, but it won’t allow you to adjust songs to match each other either, so that part is definitely deceptive.
Update: being able to adjust transitions between songs isn’t that groundbreaking. I’m not sure of why the functionality is so limited in the mobile version. Maybe to encourage purchase of the iPad version? I don’t know.
Great, but buggy
by sklvsklvsklv on 2019/09/06 04:44
Let me start by saying I am a huge fan of this app. Its very unique and great in its functionality. However, as a piece of software it is horrendous at times. I will often try to make a mix and the app will be very unresponsive, it will take forever to load up a new song to the mix and more often than not the app will just crash. Good but could be far better for the user.
Updated Version is Useless
by maddyt53 on 2021/04/16 05:08
I used to LOVE this app and use it constantly even just to listen to music, but ever since they switched to this new version that requires you to subscribe its completely useless. None of the music I want to mix is even available to play anymore ! I lost all my mixes in the update because I can’t even play any of the songs. If you’re gonna try to make something useful for people to get into DJ-ing, maybe don’t minimize your audience by leaving out a whole realm of electronic and club subgenres.
New improvements that will make your app even better!
by DJ MICK on 2018/03/12 00:14
I would like to see the following improvements:
Ability to search songs by artist.
An option that allows you to analyze files so the BPM‘s are shown on all songs in the library.
When the next song will not blend with the current song playing it should have an echo or some type of a non-abrupt
exit/introduction.
As the current song is playing (at the top of the app) you list songs that are nicely
compatible with the current song playing.
I would like to see your list longer than the approximately 10 to 20 songs.
I will have further feedback as I continue to use your app.
Let me know if you have any questions.
-Thank you
Downloaded and nothing
by jamscottie on 2018/12/30 12:00
As my title says, I downloaded the app and I only get the splash screen.
It finally opened and I looked at the mix that was available, saw I have 10 sessions, listened to the one mix that was available, and I get bumped to 6 sessions available.. how is that when I only listen, is that the way the app works? There is a seven day free trail, I’m not dutifully I’m interested...so what’s the deal, I actually get in on Monday , do a mix, listen seven times and it’s Sunday... seven days pass by?
Yeah, don’t think I want the hassle or the hustle.
$20/mo for an app I already bought?
by Djpresstone on 2020/12/19 13:12
Bought this software early on, and it seems to work now the same way it did when I first bought it. No major new functionality with significant appeal. Enjoyed it so much I gladly paid for all the in-app purchases. Now I can’t use the app unless I pay an additional $5/wk? If I thought Pacemaker would shift its pricing model to such a greedy subscription rate, I would not have paid for the in-app purchases. Price point is way off-base... realistically I’d consider $5/year, or MAYBE $0.99/mo.

eh
by slattchoppa on 2021/11/18 03:58
it isnt how it used to be. you used to not have to get the plus version to use it. and the song suggestions dont connect with the music at all
lack of tracks
by connorhanley5 on 2021/11/10 06:47
look, i get that spotify revoked the use of third party dj apps but that doesn’t mean it should restrict me from using 99 percent of my playlist in my own mix. i think that using soundcloud would be a great idea to fix this problem plus it would give people more music to use and would resolve the problem of everyone’s mix being pretty much wiped after 3.0 AND a soundcloud account is FREE. even if i would have to buy a soundcloud plus account to be able to use tracks from there in my mixes i would. i just think that the songs im “allowed” to use shouldn’t be limited in any way especially since a subscription to pacemaker is so expensive. respectfully ending my subscription until i can get my mixes i’ve already created back.
A warning to others
by electrosuicide on 2021/11/10 04:51
I paid in full for this app and all of its add-ons previously. When I inquired about the removal of my access to an app that I paid for, I was given access to the old version via Test Flight, which has now been taken away as well, leaving me only to subscribe to pieced together half hearted software at an extreme premium.
My only recourse now is to warn others to stay away. The app could change without warning and remove paid features or further degrade functionality for the same price or even more.
You pay for access to the app. It never belongs to you. If you subscribe to it, treat it as if the features or the app itself could be removed at any moment. Don’t treat it as more than just a fun toy.
It is the first app I’ve ever paid for and purchased all features because I was so impressed. At one time, this was exciting software.
Fool me once…
$4 a week for Spotify integration???
by brownboynyc on 2021/10/28 22:38
Never write reviews but…
So how do you destroy the best app in the business? Ask loyal fans to pay $4 a week to integrate with the Spotify account they already pay for! Roughly $200 a year?
Nope.
A great app that Spotify ruined
by TheBNHolmes on 2021/10/26 18:11
I think this app is good but it was a whole lot better before Spotify took away rights to 3rd party apps. Now there is barley any music that is worth using on the app. Yes their team is working on improving that but it’s not happening fast enough to be charge us $5 a week to even access the app. I think this app has great potential for improvement if the team works harder at trying to get the rights to music that isn’t on the radio or top 100s list. Instead of having people click a button on a song that says “this is unavailable”.. maybe reach out to your users and have them give you more in depth feedback on what we want out of this app.. because again $20 a month is pretty steep when there’s barley any content.
Dead app post Spotify
by SuboptimalDnB on 2021/10/22 03:44
I bought all the effects years ago when it came out. After Spotify withdrew from supporting DJ apps, Pacemaker pulled the plug on its long term support features for a paid subscription model. No support for local iTunes files. No refunds on paid for effects packs. No access to any of the features without the 4.99 per week(highway robbery) sub fee. Used to be a great app, now it’s as good a a brick.
Trash
by 6664773838 on 2021/10/10 17:58
This app is terrible now. You can’t find ANY music on it to mix. The update ruined this app
App is not free even though it says it is…
by Johnney M on 2021/10/07 22:32
I can’t play anything from Spotify. They make you pay to do anything…
Bait and Switch
by Mitchell Pash on 2021/09/30 15:28
Literally one of the worst business level choices ever made by an app company in the 21st century. Legacy customers got screwed by money hungry hippos
This app used to be great…
by snevine on 2021/09/30 03:42
I used to love this app. I even purchased the effects years ago. Unfortunately, after getting my hands on an iPad again, I discovered a very pricey subscription model.
The developer has stated this is due to Spotify changing their pricing structure. That could make sense if users had to pay specifically for Spotify integration. As of right now, I can’t do anything with this app without a subscription. That includes loading songs via Apple Music that I own.
I have purchased portions of a product that are now behind a paywall. Yes, I purchased these features years ago, however this developer did not deprecate that application. No, they chose to keep the same application identifier, but fundamentally change the application itself. An extremely shady move.
Used to be such a fan…
by KingOEgypt on 2021/09/25 00:18
I paid for this app back when it was a one-time payment. Enjoyed the features enough and liked showing it off to friends every now and then. Came back one day to find that I pretty much threw my money away since they decided to become a subscription based app. No discount for their early supporters, no new features to justify the insane markup in price. Disappointed in this business model, $4.99 a week is an egregious price for a mixing app of this kind. Maybe one day they’ll attempt to win me back somehow.
Pacemaker Glory Days are Over
by M4t1337 on 2021/09/24 03:46
Ive had this app for like at least 5 years. I loved this app so much that I bought almost all of the effects. I recently tried to use it again and Im met with a ‘subscribe to pacemaker plus’ screen. Kinda low for the developers to add an additional paywall for someone like me whos already dumped tons of money on an app that I cant use anymore. Dpp
Was great, now horrible…
by Brad Reddell on 2021/09/22 17:17
I have been a DJ for 35+ years.In that time I have mixed using cassettes, turntables, digital and anything in between. This app for a few years was fantastic for matching BPM and mixing music for those of us who play on a routine basis. I am assuming that the issue now with these type of apps is that the licensing has gone away. The problem is, so has the usefulness of this application. The majority of popular songs are not in their library, and the majority of DJs pull their music from Spotify.
As I mentioned, this app at one time was fantastic. You could mix an entire Setlist get play and use it as you need to. Now you can’t no longer do that.
In addition the app crashes every 5 to 10 minutes or so.
And lastly, this application is incredibly expensive for the lack of value currently being offered.
If it changes back where those of us who love it can use it in a useful manner, I will be right back. But until then, this app is completely useless for professional or even serious amateur DJs…
TOTAL BAIT AND SWITCH (And They Know It)
by Centim6 on 2021/09/17 01:47
So the app opens up, even loads up your songs from Apple Music. And then, it happens. You’re offered to subscribe to Pacemaker+. You decline and you’re back at the song list. Press your song choice again, and it’s back to the ad. At this point, you realize this is a bait and switch. Nevermind they forced people to update without publicly acknowledging the major changes ahead. So disappointed they don’t even offer the regular dj features anymore. I’ll find a replacement app, but nothing will beat it. And regardless of the reply, unless it’s offering your users the ability to revert to just the core app, nothing will be of true resolve.
Bruh
by M@xwell2002 on 2021/09/16 04:51
I literally can’t use anything anymore, I go to make a new mix and it only gives me the subscription pop up and when I hit x on it it just doesn’t let me make a new mix and it’s just a cycle. I can’t even listen to mixes without that pop up, glad to see everything is stuck behind a paywall
Not free
by DJAKay117 on 2021/09/12 06:30
This app is useless and pointless without paying the weekly fee of $4.99. It is annoying mostly for the fact I used to use this when it was free, I had so many playlists and loved this app, then since Spotify prevented 3rd party apps from using music off the app, it costs money now to even listen to someone else’s track. Could you at least make it free to listen to tracks, but pay to make them. That would at least be more fair.

Great App but …
by LuckyTreat on 2021/08/31 12:14
Disappointed to be one of the first people to utilize this app and are now being charged. Thanks for everything and good luck :)
Don’t bother everything is locked behind paywall !!!
by MoonBoy🌙🌙 on 2021/08/25 14:41
It’s disgusting that the developer thinks this app is worth $260 a year. Like seriously a $5 a week for a subscription at that point you might as well buy DJ equipment, and learn to do it yourself. This is really a missed opportunity to provide a unique and creative app to people but instead it is a cash grab.
Only the installation is free
by golalmo on 2021/08/25 13:37
you will need to pay at least 5 buck to check it out.
Best wishes
by apayton89 on 2021/08/21 01:24
I have no doubt in my mind that pacemaker will come back and be the best app out there that even may rival Spotify and Apple Music one day. I wish you guys the best over the next year as you get your music deals sorted out. I just hope that it happens before it’s too late. 1 star rating for now thought because none and I do mean none of my music works except for maybe 20 out of 1100 songs 👎🏾
Good app
by Lamenathalie on 2021/08/17 22:51
Ability to play the instrumental would be
A cool feature
Dropped tremendously
by _Christofire on 2021/08/17 10:47
This used to be the best app ever. I used to recommend it to everyone now it doesn’t hold to the standard it used to. None of my music is no longer compatible from Apple Music and Spotify. I worked days on some mixes and now I can’t even play them I tried making new ones with music comparable in the app and there’s barely anything to work with. What will you do to fix this so we all have the full experience again? Because as of rn we’re paying for absolute garbage. I loved it when everything was like it used to it was well worth the price.
Subscription???
by C_unit32 on 2021/08/11 08:38
So without the subscription I can’t make or view any music. Why even let me access the app without it?
Overpriced.
by dmleandro on 2021/08/07 01:30
DJay pro is better interface, has the ability to use a midi controller and allows access to more libraries. For 16.99/mo I expected more value.
I feel like a sucker
by pmpremo on 2021/08/06 18:32
Purchased this app before it become a subscription service and purchased add one and now if I don’t purchase subscription, cannot use app or add one I PAID FOR!!!!!
Also I did not use Spotify with the app so that is not ample justification for revoking people that were grandfathered into using your app and now cannot use what was paid for. Other apps that have moved to the from a free/one time purchase model to a subscription model do not punish their day one consumers.
Wow a Subscription, really?
by Romana on 2021/07/28 16:16
You can’t do anything on the app without a subscription...I remember the time it was a free app, it was good back then. Devs just being greedy, at least put a one time price on it.
Unusable
by MrMartinike on 2021/07/27 20:19
All the tracks are under a paywall now and connecting your Spotify account does nothing.
Yo ya habia pagado por esta app
by Excelente app vale la pena on 2021/07/19 02:30
No se porque me desactualizaron mi app si yo ya habia pagado por ella, fui de los primeros que la compro en sus inicios y ahora que la abro me dice que debo pagar semanal😡😡
Don’t fall for the bait
by Fix digger 9902 on 2021/07/11 13:51
I went in thinking “oh hey that’s cool, a little music mixer thing” but then when I synced my Spotify and was about to get started, it made me pay for it. That’s one of the dumbest cop outs I’ve ever seen, I dare say that’s false advertising on the App Store. Screw these guys and screw this app.
Another bad review
by Ethan Philip Richard on 2021/07/08 02:44
This truly cannot stress me enough. You guys ruined a perfectly amazing app.
Not useful without Sonos integration
by Syser on 2021/07/05 01:17
Googled to figure out how to output a Pacemaker to Sonos and found a thread requesting this same feature. The response from Pacemaker was to lecture the folks who took the time to file a feature request with their silly rationale for not integrating with Sonos. At least I know it’s never coming and it’s not worthwhile to request it. Deleted and canceled my trial subscription.
Was a great app before subscription base
by Skrhak on 2021/07/03 20:00
I absolutely loved this app when I original purchased it. I paid a flat fee for Pacemaker and loved it so much I invested more money into it purchasing additional type of effects. Then one day Pacemaker got a update and was now monthly subscription based? Now if I wanted to continue to use Pacemaker I needed to pay $5 a month. Apple shouldn’t allow apps be able to suddenly go subscription based. Now the app is useless. Does not work unless you subscribe. All the money I invested into the Pacemaker is gone. Very disappointed.
Yet Another Deceptive App with Little to No Usability Without Subscription
by ian cook on 2021/06/28 01:35
It’s really unfortunate that this is the way iOS developers are going en masse— ostensibly offering ‘free’ apps with ‘IAPs’ when in fact what one gets is a low-to-no functionality preview. I know that Apple and Spotify share some responsibility for this, but seriously, enough already. I will happily fork over 5-50 dollars for something of value that developers put time and money into creating and supporting, but I’ve had it with downloading hyped-up ‘free’ apps only to discover that all I can do without hitting a paywall amounts to little more than letting a commercial run on my device. If one can’t properly sample the feature set without agreeing to a paid subscription, the app is not free and the subscription is decidedly not an IAP or ‘upgrade.’ A disappointment.
Need to get back my app back I paid for years ago
by atti66 on 2021/06/25 21:03
Hi You all giving this excuses about Spotify there is Tidal most DJ app using them now so get on it! and stops this nonsense you all are doing $5 a week to use a app Stop killing a good app
Great! ***Edit*** Ripppp
by JordyRulez on 2021/06/25 18:49
So glad they made an app to mix your tracks directly from Spotify.
For those of you that are bummed out because you thought it was going to let you make beats, just know that this software is not a DAW (digital audio workstation). Its sole purpose is for mixing tracks for iTunes and Spotify.
I haven't tried mixing tracks from iTunes yet so I can't make any judgements on that, however it is awesome for mixing tracks on Spotify.
Great work Devs!
Edit******* 6/25/21
Used to be good but now I can’t even USE the app unless I subscribe. Guess they got greedy. I purchased all the original add-ons and now I can’t even use them. Not sure how much money I spent on each individual add-on, but I’m sure they’ll all add up. I’m not subscribing, sorry.
But you can do you a big favor and refund all my money for a product that I rightly paid for to be able to use whenever I want at my own convenience, with which I can no longer have access to. Actually, I’m pretty sure you’re legally obligated to refund me for every feature I’ve paid for that you removed or rather put under subscription basis. I won’t subscribe for this very purpose. Not a very appropriate business model as far as anyone is concerned.
Have fun losing customers, because you lost me. Cheers
What a difference the update made
by DavidBryanSmith on 2021/06/24 20:28
The bug I reported has been fixed. My only real gripe so far is the picture suggestion for tracks on the automation function doesn’t do anything. It would be nice to add to those tracks by tapping the pic just like with the active tracks. The suggested tracks have no functionality other than a pic. Sometimes they pop up on the top bar when you add a track but often times they don’t.
I’ll be giving it the real test this weekend so I’ll. Update and let you know how it goes.
Don’t Believe the HYPE
by Wessneal on 2021/06/23 21:52
This app is Junk, not sure what they got awards for, your Spotify music isn't available, only cheap Non royalty song!! Apple needs to kick this app off
Bad
by schimmmy on 2021/06/23 14:40
Crashes all the time
sick joke
by Ac153 on 2021/06/21 04:51
was free at first. made it weekly subscription. absolute waste of money
Long time user disappointed
by loosebutthole on 2021/06/20 05:51
I get it. Spotify pulled out. Why can’t you make the app work well again with the iTunes music I have? Why should I have to subscribe to use the effects I paid for 5 years ago?
Pretty sad. Had some mixes I liked. Bye pacemaker.
Ok I'm leaving right now
by Ethan947 on 2021/06/19 02:52
Ok I'm leaving right now
Had this for years and you lost me when it became a subscription
by imjustintime on 2021/06/10 03:13
Been a user since the beginning, was great until the paywall started… why not just let us use for free with our own music library instead of streaming…
could use some more features and needs to be cheaper
by That one guy who farts on 2021/06/05 01:09
i love this app but i feel like theres more you could do here what i would like to see is an option to play only vocals or only instrumentals and possibly layer the two
i also cant get behind being a subscriber to make mixes
Can’t do anything
by Courts835 on 2021/06/03 13:12
Every single thing you click on brings you to a page to buy the app. Why offer it for free if you can’t do ANYTHING in the free version?!
Was great, now terrible
by unahppyx1000 on 2021/06/02 09:58
Your app for iPhone is terrible now. The AI hardly works anymore when trying to add songs to a playlist. It hardly shows songs that match tempo or “like music” your library is pathetically small.
This has been the worst switch over I’ve seen. Will be deleting
Not Bad
by DjLovejoy on 2021/06/01 19:17
The technical aspects of this app are fantastic.
Paid full price for this. Not usable unless I sub weekly?👎
by d1000 on 2021/06/01 17:09
Hate the bait and switch business model
Whats the point?!
by Amiralizb on 2021/05/29 16:07
Non of the music in your Spotify playlists works and you have to pay so much for the subscription that essentially allows you to switch songs! Not cool
Wow
by landnwhababvagzgGzy on 2021/05/25 04:41
Of course, force me to subscribe to use it
are you kidding me
by the big, bad review man on 2021/05/23 16:48
way too much money for a music playing app that can't even play all my music. it's really just Crossfade and EQ settings... how different is this really from Spotify?
Worst app ever
by bass-blaster420 on 2021/05/19 20:11
I was hoping to be able to use this app but after downloading it for FREE I can’t do anything FOR FREE accept look at the home page. Can’t listen to music, can’t mix music, can’t even hear a sample of any music at all. This is officially the worst app on the AppStore.
File

It would be smart if yall add a file opener where we can remix our filed music. Please nd thanks.
My favorite DJ app - now dead
by TomtTom on 2021/05/15 06:07
One of those moments, I would consider a zero star…
My favorite DJ app, easy to use… I had so many great parties with it before COVID…
I’m happy to pay for a good app, but not a weekly subscription…
Good bye and rest in pieces… tears…
Ok ok... quick note
by Irieiwiqoroot4828 on 2021/05/14 19:49
90% of my Spotify playlist was unavailable, and tossed in songs I don’t listen to. If you listen to music that’s not on the radio then this app isn’t for you. But I honestly don’t know if it even works? Never tried because I couldn’t play my music. If I’m doing something wrong? Lmk I’ll change my review.
They removed Spotify
by nctmustang on 2021/05/13 21:54
Thanks to big business they made it where this small business can’t be at its full potential you guys had a good thing going but Spotify basically ran you out of business (at least your full potential business) but if you’re fine having a small selection of music I’d get it but they made this app worthless
Doesn’t have all the music I need and not intuitive to use.
by jlclmcedc325 on 2021/05/10 10:08
The App is not a solution for making mixes as it doesn’t have all the music Spotify has so when I go to work with a playlist it’s pointless. Plus it’s not as intuitive to use as I’d hoped.
Really gone downhill
by Jhliberty on 2021/05/09 23:29
I paid for this app when it originally came out to unlock fx and such and now I can’t even use the app unless I subscribe to them in addition to subscribing to my music provider
No thanks, I already paid for the fx I’m not gonna pay monthly to unlock features I’ve already paid for in the past.
Wish I could get a refund on my original purchase for this app many years ago since I can’t actually use the features I paid for.
Skip this app - they will remove features you’ve paid for and ask for more and more money.
Destroyed the app
by coco_monki on 2021/05/09 20:18
Thank you for destroying this app ! It was an amazing app and now not only want to charge a monthly subscription but also songs in Spotify are not available? This a joke right ? You guys are very stupid
I use to love this
by drummerbronx on 2021/05/08 06:01
Than you went with a 5 dollars a week. 5 a month would have been alright. Also you no longer except Spotify. I would give a zero for greediness. Most subscriptions are 9.99. People are on hard times, Covid-19, storms all over the U.S . W e went through bidder cold and no lights for 5 days in the state of Texas. I’m deleting the app. A big let down.
Paywalls galore
by MuffinToppings on 2021/05/07 23:41
Everything is hidden behind a paywall...the app used to be way better
Used to be good!
by wizards mind bomb on 2021/05/05 01:49
“Update app to view your mixes”
Updates the FREE app to find a 5 dollar a week paywall!
Thanks for nothing
Why Subscription?!
by jadeplays._.roblox on 2021/05/02 08:46
The second I download it I have to pay for subscription to use it. I already hate the fact you have to pay for subscription to use the app
Pacemaker Changes
by Hoaxoneder on 2021/05/01 21:26
I see several critical responses to the updated app and the fact that many songs will no longer work. Of course, this is sad and it was for myself as many mixes have been lost for the moment.
The issue here is not something that Pacemaker decided to do. Spotify stopped supporting dj apps or in other words, will no longer allow music that is in their catalog (spotify) to be accessed via Pacemaker.
Pacemaker is trying to do the right thing. They have taken the correct route in licensing music from Sony and Warner. Music is not free. Songwriters created the songs and it is their livelihood. Pacemaker is paying to be able to have access to these songs so that in turn, the writers and publishers of these works get paid for the usage of it. Simple as that. You can’t expect to go to a Dr’s visit and not pay for the work done.
So big ups to Pacemaker for doing what is right and ensuring that songwriters get paid their fair share.
Rip off
by masterblender32 on 2021/05/01 00:25
Garbage it’s wants you to pay a subscription
Has been
by Austinmam on 2021/04/27 14:51
Pacemaker was a fun a good app to use. Helps you get used to counting beats and mixing music. However they really sh*t the bed when they changed over the music.... can’t play any of my mixes now nor do we have enough music to even make more. Hopefully they go back to the old or hurry up and get music onto the app again
What is happening
by Rob W (NYC) on 2021/04/24 03:31
I am so sad to say that my Pacemaker no longer works properly and it appears that I am now being hijacked to pay $4.99/week. It worked fine until I began taking the updates.
I paid for this application over 4 yrs ago and put it on my iPad and iphone but when I go to tap the link to restore purchase it does not work. I am now left with an app that is useless. $4.99 per week is also highway robbery. I have a gig to do in 2 weeks and I am now in panic mode and so terribly sad that supporting them even paying a fee back years ago does not allow me continued usage. I’ve even sent in fantastic feedback as a deejay and music curator respected the world over for my achievements in the world of soulful dance music. I am one of 11,500 voting members for The National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and signed developed and released a body of of music of 1000 singles and 80 LP’s Licenced signed and appreciated the world over.
There’s no way for me to even contact customer support when the application opens up as well.
Hopefully someone reads this at the company and does the right thing here reinstating my original purpose.
What the heck happened?
by TBoy#151131 on 2021/04/23 14:26
I used this app along time ago (like 5 years ago) with a free month trial of Spotify premium. I never actually had Spotify premium until now in that time period so I was hyped to use this app again. I come back now I have to pay to use it?! That’s one of the stupidest things ever I don’t understand. There’s not even a free version?
Too exensive!
by genexo on 2021/04/23 09:49
This app was great when it was released
They need aimmixer only version i have my own music dont need third party music.
Can’t do anything without paying
by Y0mama25 on 2021/04/23 00:39
Wouldn’t be surprised if I had to subscribe to breathe while having the app open. The concept is cool, however the main purpose of the app is blocked by a payroll.
From Perfect to Good
by CPB.EazyBreezy on 2021/04/22 18:45
I downloaded this app before the move away from Spotify and aside from small technical issues playing, making, and sharing playlist/mixes was the best thing I've ever experienced from an app. Creating a mix is simple enough for anyone to do and fun enough to really make you enjoy different types of music. Not to mention the community shares a love for music and is so welcoming and supportive.
My issue now is the shift away from Spotify which made music options limited. Most of my mixes now are too similar for me to really develop any unique sounds. Also the pay wall that limits who you can share your created sounds with.
However there is enough music and variety to still get a kick out of making a mix and the music options are slowly growing so it's not all bad. If you enjoy music, you'll enjoy this app and for $4.99/week it's worth it. Especially if you can get friends to pay and collab/enjoy on your mixes.
Forced subscription
by evrydymshuffln on 2021/04/20 21:25
THIS IS TRASH!!!! It forces you to subscribe and pay money. Why not just make the app paid. This is stupid
this app was good before spotify stopped syncing with it
by ndoxbebidhrnir on 2021/04/18 22:24
this used to be good when it synced with spotify and had every song and you could use it for free. now you have to pay for it and there's only like a tenth of the songs you'd want on here
Updated Version is Useless
by maddyt53 on 2021/04/16 05:08
I used to LOVE this app and use it constantly even just to listen to music, but ever since they switched to this new version that requires you to subscribe its completely useless. None of the music I want to mix is even available to play anymore ! I lost all my mixes in the update because I can’t even play any of the songs. If you’re gonna try to make something useful for people to get into DJ-ing, maybe don’t minimize your audience by leaving out a whole realm of electronic and club subgenres.
Have to pay monthly subscription
by Leigh Jane Mar on 2021/04/15 04:20
I used to love this app but now they won’t let me play any of my mixtapes unless I pay a monthly subscription. Don’t recommend this app unless they change the feature back.
You were good
by Forced to on 2021/04/14 13:40
You were so good when it was free. Spent hundreds of hours on it at night, between classes and when I was down. Helped me learn music but I know that now since you don’t have the right to incorporate Spotify with it you have to make us pay; however, I refuse to pay for Spotify for this. I like mixing music but not to the point I’ll pay for it to mix. The review is solely for turning it from a free app to a MUST pay APP. I’m truly sad that I have to delete it now 😔
A Free Paywall
by ItsAvo_ on 2021/04/13 16:57
The whole app is just a paywall. You have to pay 15$ a month just for a app, I would be okay if some songs were locked behind pay wall but none are.
Don’t be fooled
by johnokfine on 2021/04/13 08:03
Don’t be fooled by the youtube tutorials. Interface is frustrating and clunky to get things right. No recording the mixes so I guess have fun posting it to the internal forum? $5 a week is nothing short of insane for a frustrating app, and by the way, with Spotify you’ll find most songs not available. Steer clear. There are plenty fine free options.
UPDATE RUINED IT.
by MrBeeWax on 2021/04/10 04:32
This app was my Go-To! I had some great mixes that I’d listen to to and from work, and my Spotify would tag team and it was awesome!
But here we go, an update that said it would be charging me every week. Then, it got rid of most of the music. So half of my mixes are no longer vibing! I redownloaded but even the features when adding a song, it almost goes nothing with it. Please go back to your old ways!!! I was a huge fan!
Locked
by rossthegardener on 2021/04/08 23:28
In Pacemaker 3.0, it locks you out of the app until you pay a fee of $5.00 a week
What about my paid license 😡
by Mickey Montealvo on 2021/04/08 19:47
I read all the complaints. The fact that you want to try a new business model, doesn’t give you the right to discontinue the previously paid licenses, and in-app purchases. By ignoring paid customer’s legitimate complaints, makes it worse. 😡
After a long silence, Pacemaker decided to answer to the complaints with a template excuse. The apology completely contradicts on how pacemaker features the changes on the app store, and in the app.
Actions speak louder than words.
I am very disappointed. I will escalate with Apple. I want my money back! 😡
Why is the app free??
by FinessingZaddy2104 on 2021/04/08 14:29
What’s the point of making a free app when you have to pay for the main thing they advertise?!?!
Knocking off a Star
by Jjthehype on 2021/04/07 05:28
Listen! As a music lover, enthusiasts and music creator, this app was the best thing on the App Store. Like they all say good things can’t last forever we all know the reason why Spotify isn’t supporting this app anymore; it has to do with revenue streams and artist not receiving royalties. All this app had to do (Pacemaker) was charge the user more which I would have gladly paid. I’d pay up to $25-$30/m for this app because it’s that good and could be even better than it was (multitude of app crashes). Teaching fitness classes, this app changes the game as well as listening to mixes by myself for my own pleasure. Now I can’t even do that with the countless gaps in the music that aren’t even available anymore. It took Spotify 4 years to add Beyoncé’s full discography and it will probably take this app countless years to add the music catalogues from our favorites artists. So thanks for trying to remedy the issue of Spotify and Apple not supporting your app but no thanks. Fun while it lasted. Leaving 4 stars for the good memories of using this app but I will not pay $16.99 for an 1/8 of the music available to me as before. Work on fixing the issue. Raise the price even and I’ll be back once the music is back.
Had Purchased The FX Pack
by ikingapple on 2021/04/05 05:07
Now I can’t access anything, I must subscribe?
Unusable
by Shosbit on 2021/04/04 18:44
The app was great until the most recent update. Now it’s COMPLETELY unusable. I no longer can play music on the app period.
Making me pay even thought I have Spotify?
by Matt Cheever on 2021/04/04 16:19
I used this app a while ago when it was in its first stages but I lost my premium for Spotify so I couldn’t use the app which I understand but now you have to pay $5 to even use it? I loved this app but now it’s just gonna get deleted.
Dramatic drop in music availability
by stevendodson on 2021/04/03 21:26
This app used to have a really wide selection of music since it was integrated with Spotify. It still is linked, but I can really only access about 10% of the music that I want to use. The app isn’t very forthcoming about it. I made a long mix from last year that’s entirely unlistenable now because of all the removals- and these aren’t really obscure songs either. Until Pacemaker figures out how to get a much wider array of music on here it’s a pretty functionally hopeless app. If things change I’d be happy to re-subscribe though. It’s a shame- it was previously a 5 star app. Bummer.
Changed
by ok so basically on 2021/04/02 21:47
I got this back in October. Most of it was free but i could still play off of Spotify. Know they make me pay for Spotify.
Reasons why I deleted this app
by CjKraze on 2021/04/02 19:57
So my question is, why are u guys making people pay to use the app? like dang is y’all really that broke? This app is not worth $5 a week just to use the entire app. You guys could’ve atleast made another app that is actually worth $5 and not a week but a month. In conclusion I’m saying this app should be completely free because u guys are playing urselves out of users on the app .
This app isn’t good
by Dylan6855 on 2021/04/01 06:27
The app is not free at all! Once you download it they want you to play about 5/ weekly. The apps was in fact free during the summer of 2020.
AWFUL
by Jimmy From State Farm 43 on 2021/03/31 01:58
All the developers do is respond to reviews with the same bot response. This app can’t be used for a reasonable price, it should be FREE.
I want Spotify
by Speeder11252 on 2021/03/30 03:32
Useless
Can’t Sync Spotify
Shows grayed out songs or songs that
You can only play with prescription.
I Dumped The App
Money grabbing in effect now
by Al In EFX on 2021/03/29 12:40
Imagine: having a customer pay $40 a year for the app, and it works well for over 5 years. Then they decide to go for the cash crab and increase it to almost $200 a year and making it WORSE! That’s what they’ve done to this app. And if you’ve got a yearly plan, the app (after asking for a while) just wholesale switches you to the new option (where you can’t sync songs from your library EVEN if you have Apple Music, nexuses the old subscription hasn’t ended and you can’t pay for the new one yet).
Just a disaster. Almost like they “Whedonized” the app, like Joss Whedon totally destroyed a great movie like Justice League.
Avoid! And this is coming from a former supporter and promoter of this app.
Cant even use the app anymore
by Kfhsyajhdjd on 2021/03/25 17:24
I’ve had pacemaker on my devices for years and really enjoyed it. Paid for all the extra effects and now I cant use the app without paying for a monthly subscription. It costs me more to use this app than it costs for me to have a spotify premium account. Really bummed that the time has come to delete this app. Thanks developers for making an awesome app something that I cant even use now.
Horrible now
by jonboji on 2021/03/25 14:17
Bad bad. No songs. Useless
WAS A GREAT APP!
by Mejiany on 2021/03/24 16:19
IT WAS a great app when it supported fully spotify, ow it just supports playlists and on top of that you have to pay a monthly suscription which to me, it is not worth it!!! Its a shame though
They’re not partnered with Spotify anymore
by Nacho+cheese on 2021/03/24 04:32
Can’t even use my Spotify music not even worth it anymore
What happened?
by retroflyingsaucerpong on 2021/03/22 18:43
Free version is absolutely unusable. Personal music library is inaccessible and old mixes have been wiped. Not everyone streams their music and it's rude to assume people want to pay for a streaming service AND this app. Instead of brightening my day, I'm now frustrated. Horrible. Deleted.
Horrible. Just horrible.
by biiig bobbbn on 2021/03/18 17:11
I am beyond disappointed in your decision to leave Spotify. I get that you wanna be your own thing, but all of your users were enjoying the app just the way it was. None of us wanted this, none of us asked for this, none of us even thought that Pacemaker being with Spotify was an issue.
Now, most of my songs aren't even available, making my mixes feel unsatisfactory. I've also noticed that the transitions have seemingly
gotten worse.
You guys gotta get your act together, because I am DEFINITELY not the only one who is understandably ticked off by your random decision to just completely abandon Spotify.
What a difference the update made
by DavidBryanSmith on 2021/06/24 20:28
The bug I reported has been fixed. My only real gripe so far is the picture suggestion for tracks on the automation function doesn’t do anything. It would be nice to add to those tracks by tapping the pic just like with the active tracks. The suggested tracks have no functionality other than a pic. Sometimes they pop up on the top bar when you add a track but often times they don’t.
I’ll be giving it the real test this weekend so I’ll. Update and let you know how it goes.
Almost love at first sight
by jingai on 2019/03/26 02:11
Where to start? Was getting into it... tried to add a new effect. All it suggests is some crazy $5 A WEEK subscription. Sorry, this is NOT a $260 a year app by any means. Where are the individual effect purchases listed on the App Store? That’s super reasonable and a pretty awesome business model.
Then I’m getting used to it and getting into it and jamming, then suddenly it jumps to the very beginning of my mix and I’m like what the heck is going on?! Where’s the play head?
Sorry. This app is so desperately needed... perfect working and functional contrast to the other lead dj app here. Fix the biz model and back button UX mess, and you could win. Do NOT make this a forced subscription for FX. Check reviews of that other app, and you’ll see they get nothing but grief from let down customers. Good luck. Hope you make the right choices. I was seriously ready to give you $10 right off the bat for the FX pack, but can’t even figure out how to do that the UX is so bad. Way to ruin our first date. Don’t want to, but maybe have to move on.
Most expensive app I pay for, is it worth it?
by evanovich555 on 2019/04/17 19:49
I pay more than any other app for this, $15 every 3 months....and EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I load up the app I am confronted with “Do you like Pacemaker? Leave us a review! No? Tell us why!” and have to perform thumb gymnastics to get to the TINY X at the very top right of my 8+ screen. Their blatant disregard of the “In-App Ratings & Reviews” setting in the appstore (and Apple’s lack of enforcement) are very disenchanting for my most expensive app.
I second other reviews about the dismay of the fx being subscription based. I understand the “it costs money to make all the wheels go around and provide our users with a killer app and constant upgrades” mentality but that doesn’t jive with the amount of money the developer makes from sales of the vast and unique data harvested from us users. Not to mention they most likely already have oodles of venture capital...
YES the ui/ux is way slick. However, navigating around users, globals, recommends is a cumbersome nightmare. The inability to adjust the BPMs from track to track is a joke and almost defeats the entire purpose.
WHY ARE THE IPAD APP AND THE IPHONE APP SO RADICALLY DIFFERENT!? The features avail on ipad are sorely needed on the iphone version and vice versa.
Again, for the amount of money I pay, I would expect more.
All these rants aside, I still use the app and the automix feature does a freakishly good job most of the time.
Subscription really?!?!
by ShowtimexE on 2021/03/01 03:11
I purchased all the effects A few years back and I’ve been enjoying this app ever since now after this update I somehow cannot use it anymore to DJ I have to have a subscription to DJ while I already had power all the in app of purchases so for you guys to do that and not at least let people that have had this out for years now like stick with that or allow them to have that option which is DJ on that I use app it makes no sense I am very disappointed this is not an any Wayfare and get business I think you guys should consider reading this and changing your policy or just no subscription at least for me and those I have had this out for years now I depend on it since I’m a DJ and I can’t be paying for a subscription I just so dumb when there was no subscription to be paid a few months ago this is what you call innovation progress well I don’t see it I just see it as another way to make more money from us
A Cluster of Bad UI with confusing and pointless features.
by ComedyDZN on 2019/12/20 00:31
I feel like the developers wanted to make a sleek and fluid app UI, which I totally applaud. It’s almost 2020 and ugly apps just aren’t it. That being said, there is an extent to which trying to oversimplify stuff that already works just doesn’t help. Navigating the app is an absolute NIGHTMARE. Confusing main menus literally make it so hard to find the simplest stuff. I was in the middle of my 300 minute playlist of the Godspeed You! Black Emperor playlist and decided to go looking at other playlists; but when I was scrolling through the laggy and annoyingly heavy-feeling public playlists, it would select a random playlist because it cares more about being a good looking, fundamentally broken, and annoyingly dumbed down app. You guys feel like it is a good idea to restrict so much view space and go for this abomination of an app style. Seriously reconsider.
New 3.0 version is completely unsatisfactory
by 5incl4ir on 2020/12/18 01:35
I have been using this app and paying for it for the last several years and absolutely loved it. But since this new 3.0 update,I can only access a quarter of the songs from my old mixes. A 60 min playlist is now 15 min long at best. Not only can I not use my mixes anymore but everyone else’s mixes only have about a 1/4 of the songs in them as well. The selection that is available on there now is unsatisfactory to say the least. If pacemaker cannot get access to all of these songs back, I will have to cancel my subscription and use another app such as Rock My Run or Fit Radio instead. This app created a passion for me in making my own playlists for my classes. I feel like a part of me is lost now without it. Do not get this app unless they can get the rights back to all of the music they previously had! Make this right Pacemaker
Good app
by jonatheibart on 2019/03/15 17:53
Though I wish it worked with Apple Music (which I know is beyond the developers’ control and is the same for all these types of apps) this app is definitely the best of its kind. That being said there are various glitches, like sometimes it plays the songs as if they have been mixed but doesn’t show that they have been and doesn’t allow you to move the tracks and edit them; restarting the app usually fixes this but not always. Also I wish there was an easier way to choose the order of the tracks rather than scrolling endlessly, and I wish that you could import a whole playlist in the order that the playlist is in rather than mixing a few songs from it.
Great Idea, Poor Execution
by Animaldrummer04 on 2017/10/02 21:01
On a surface level, this is a great app. I appreciate the BPM analyzer recommending potential next tracks when building a playlist, and the editing ability (pro subscription) is good. However, for the life of me I cannot understand why - if you were only going to allow playlist creation and editing on one platform - you would choose iPhone over iPad. Maybe the developers are under the impression that “less is more” when it comes to screen real estate, but I’m here to tell you that that is not the case. At all. Very frustrating having to edit on such a small screen - and I have a 6s+! For this reason, I am searching for another (more user friendly) way to edit my playlists. My sausage fingers have had enough with this app.
You need some serious updates
by Imbad3423 on 2019/12/31 13:36
I’m a set it and forget it type of guy. With that being said I purchased this app so I could make kill playlists with the feel of a DJ controlling everything. Using this app started of as a good thing but as of late as I’ve been using this app the playlists have been crashing halfway at random spots and cutting short of the playlist times.
Since use this app for my group fitness classes these crashes in the app makes for uncomfortable silences at points in the class in which the energy from the music is needed most. I’ve tried emailing support but they don’t seem to really care. If this continues to be the case and updates aren’t made to solve this problem then I will have no issue with cancelling my subscription.
What is happening
by Rob W (NYC) on 2021/04/24 03:31
I am so sad to say that my Pacemaker no longer works properly and it appears that I am now being hijacked to pay $4.99/week. It worked fine until I began taking the updates.

Long Time User Cancelled
by Crazy Excalibur on 2021/02/23 22:07
I’ve been a long time user and absolutely loved this app. Unfortunately the price has just sky rocketed. In that process the app hasn’t been made that much better. This costs more than what I pay for Apple Music for my entire family and Apple Music has way more music. If this app was better, like consistent across iPad and iPhone, AND if I could stream my mix tapes via Apple Watch it might be worth the price. The only thing the Apple Watch is good for is a remote control to your phone, which it’s been like this for years. Make the Apple Watch stream the mixes so I can use this expensive app when I go on runs and I might consider the cost. I pay for an entire office suite from Microsoft for less. It’s just too expensive.
Pretty amazing app (for me)

I saw this app a long time ago while scrolling through story’s on Instagram, and I thought nothing of it. This time I saw it again, and I thought “hmm, maybe I should just give it a try”. Well dam is it amazing! It may be a little hard to understand how things work at first, But it’s easy to figure out. So nothing to bad. I already made a 3 1/2 hour mix of songs I love! This is a game changer for me and my friends who want a homemade radio station type vibe. And I mean can we talk about the transitions!
👌🏽😩 honestly for me they’re amazing! What can I say, 5 stars my friend.
This used to be a good application.

As a completely blind person who is a DJ, are used to love this app. Granted, manually mixing on other apps is doable on the iPhone, but without any physical controller in my hand, it was more difficult. This app was even smart enough to change the EQ of the tracks depending on what part was playing. It was even smart enough to cut the tracks off at the exact times, just like a normal DJ would. However, The update that brought this social features to this app has completely ruined the accessibility, therefore making the app completely useless to people like me. And that was over two years ago, and it has not been fixed. Please make this app accessible again as soon as possible. I actually depended on your app whenever I was too tired to mix myself.
Disappointed with performance
by Lisawithtwoboys on 2021/01/28 16:15
I have been a Pacemaker subscriber for more than three years. When many of my playlists lost many songs, I loved the app so much I figured out could make it work.
In the last week however, the performance is the app is dismal. It will not pull up tracks in my library it it takes FOREVER to pull them up. My phone and the app are all updated so I know that is not the problem. The search feature for tracks is also horrible. This is incredibly disappointing given that most members are losing a lot of tracks. Now we have a subpar app to deal with too. I’ll give it a few more weeks, and if it doesn’t improve, a subpar app and subpar tracks give me no reason to spend money on it anymore.
Great for exercising!!!
by W477Y on 2017/08/05 20:18
I use this app at the gym and while running. I can load any of my iTunes playlists of individual tracks and it's like a DJ is mixing my playlist for me. Granted the transitions from track to track aren't always that great, but other times the transitions are amazing! No more downtime while tracks are ending and starting. The intensity of my runs and work outs has drastically increased because of this app.
Some options I'd like to see and even be willing to pay for are...
1.the ability to rate a transition so the app can learn when it's working well and when it's not.
2.When I'm in the lock out screen and I hit the next track button it jumps the current song ahead to where the app was planning on mixing the next track instead of forcing the mix at that point like it will do when inside the app.
Again, love this app even though I don't use it for its intended purpose.
There’s no point in buying this
by jayden mogan on 2020/12/06 19:27
When I was getting it it was free so ya know I thought it was gonna be free I could make some pretty good music and mashups but when I loaded in it was just a stupid scam that I had to pay 7.99$ for per month for no reason it’s nothing so idk why I have to pay for it at least just make it free to use and have it free where we could use it there are just some features that require payment instead of making the whole app 7.99$ for nothing
A few “great” things about the new update
by Dpaul Dquan Lucy on 2021/02/25 05:54
Update 3.0 was amazing I really loved these features:
- you can no longer play 99% of your songs
- you have to pay for pacemaker + to do anything now
- Previously purchased effects from way back to before + are no longer usable without paying for a premium service (because you can’t use the app without a subscription)
- the app is slower than slow
- hopefully you want to pay 5 dollars a week to listen to like 10 percent of your previously made playlists!
This update really knocked it out of the park! Great job!
What the heck happened to this app. There is NO reason that I shouldn’t be able to use Pacemaker like I have been for the past 4 years. I paid for the ability to use features in this app and now I can’t even use those features without paying for a subscription. These guys are crooks. It doesn’t really matter though because even if I could still use the app without paying 20 bucks a month they quit supporting like 99% of there music anyway. Overall do not download.
Top in Its Class
by Kcbnyc on 2019/09/25 14:24
Pacemaker is a very cool app. Better than Pyro (IMHO). Will it replace Traktor or DJ Pro? No. However, if you want to throw together a nice mix tape for the workout, party, or road trip then this is a fun And easy app to use. The graphics are great.
I love the community of mixers! I can always find excellent mix tapes.
If this could detect bars and phrases of tracks, it would be out of this world.
$4.95/week is a little steep. Especially since traktor costs around $150.
The ability to export the track list would be awesome!
Money grabbing in effect now
by Al In EFX on 2021/03/29 12:40
Imagine: having a customer pay $40 a year for the app, and it works well for over 5 years. Then they decide to go for the cash crab and increase it to almost $200 a year and making it WORSE! That’s what they’ve done to this app. And if you’ve got a yearly plan, the app (after asking for a while) just wholesale switches you to the new option (where you can’t sync songs from your library EVEN if you have Apple Music, nexuses the old subscription hasn’t ended and you can’t pay for the new one yet).
Just a disaster. Almost like they “Whedonized” the app, like Joss Whedon totally destroyed a great movie like Justice League.
Avoid! And this is coming from a former supporter and promoter of this app.
Buggy
by fireant123456789 on 2020/11/12 21:56
Hi, ive been playing with this app for a while now and I loce it. But if I'm going to pay this much for it, I would really appreciate if you guys could squash at least most of the bugs. On my iPhone 12, I have experienced spontaneous crashes, the scrubber completely ignoring me when I touch it with my finger, and most of all, when I add a new song, very often there is not transition that shows up on the timeline and pressing that little lightning button literally does nothing (even when I jam it repeatedly). The fix for all of these issues is always the same, restart the all. But it's frustrating how often I need to do this
Perfect for group fitness
by Emilia R. S. on 2018/12/27 02:39
Really cool app! Highly recommend if you’re a trainer who gets to pick their music for fitness classes. Love being able to create my own mixes without an awkward pause and without having to play the entire song. I’ve had multiple problems with my account login information, my app quitting suddenly, or my subscription (even though I paid for a year already). However, I still rate 5 stars because of the amazing customer service/support team.
New and Frustrated with No Help fr Pacemaker
by MSSLNX on 2019/11/29 22:53
I’m new to Apple products and Pacemaker. I have painfully and unsuccessfully searched for tutorials and information on how to use my iPod and iPad for pacemaker. I can’t change the bpm on my iPod with pacemaker, but I can sync the bpm on my iPad. I can save a plalylist on my iPod, but I can’t save a playlist or mix on my iPad. I can’t use my iTunes on either because my tracks are now with Apple Music. I purchased the year subscription for an app that is not integrated and does not have the same functionality on the iPod and the iPad! Im frustrated and disappointed that I wasted so much money and time in this app, the iPod and the iPad.
We have sent emails to Pacemaker and have not received any response.
TOTAL BAIT AND SWITCH (And They Know It)
by Centim6 on 2021/09/17 01:47
So the app opens up, even loads up your songs from Apple Music. And then, it happens. You’re offered to subscribe to Pacemaker+. You decline and you’re back at the song list. Press your song choice again, and it’s back to the ad. At this point, you realize this is a bait and switch. Nevermind they forced people to update without publicly acknowledging the major changes ahead. So disappointed they don’t even offer the regular dj features anymore. I’ll find a replacement app, but nothing will beat it. And regardless of the reply, unless it’s offering your users the ability to revert to just the core app, nothing will be of true resolve.
Why even have the pop up?
by hirophant on 2021/01/29 19:17
Why do you have a pop up every time someone touches their screen? Better yet why even have it be a free download, there is not a single thing in this app that you can do without plus, YOU CANT EVEN LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLES MIXES THAT THEY POSTED. The pop up that never leaves should not say “get the full experience” because you don’t have anything to begin with. What you should have put is “get the experience” just leave out the full and then it wouldn’t be false advertising and lying to everyone who downloads the app. You couldn’t even put like 20 tracks people could have used to test the app before your greed took over?
Ha! What a joke for an appp
by greyson1993 on 2020/12/22 21:19
If I could leave 0 stars I would. You thought blocking me on Instagram would keep me from getting the word out but NOPE. For an app the user pays for this thing constantly glitches and freezes. The new update literally wrecked all of your playlist and removed THOUSANDS of songs from the set list to choose from. “Stick with us” they said after 🥴 don’t waste your time or money you will only have about 10% of your music in your library to use. Maybe 1% of that will actually mix and then it will glitch anyway. I’m choosing not to curse so this doesn’t get taken off but rest assure I would if I could.
My favorite instrument besides guitar
by fishypapas on 2020/04/16 07:41
I’ve been using this app for years to transcribe music. Easy to loop specific parts then slow them down. And it’s great for making loops to practice playing over.
I love the flat graphic style of this app and glad the team has resisted the temptation to bloat it with junk. Some nice motion design details all over, from the screen transitions to the little icons that pulse when they’re on. Inspiring stuff.
Great App!
by Juliannn103 on 2021/02/05 09:14
I wanna start by saying that the app is so much fun to use. And easy kinda....the one thing that bothers me is that sometimes the music won’t show up at the top when I search for a song...instead you have to scroll through many random songs to find the song you're looking for. That and the price are the low points of the app. As for everything else 👌👌👌
Don’t Update to 3.0
by SoMichael on 2020/12/17 07:10
I used to love this app. Would use it’s automix feature when I want a simple mixtape for a night walk or drive. I was able to do that for free even if I couldn’t adjust the weird transitions or levels. Something I was fine with. The auto mixing feature on this app is amazing and the best I have seen for a quick to go mix.
But unfortunately, you have to pay $8 a WEEK to use this app now. I get every app developer needs money and there are music licensing issues that Pacemaker has been dealing with, but I have no idea why they won’t let free users exist on the app anymore.
I have used this app for about a year now and loved it. I wished I could just do a one time buy to keep using it. I would easily pay $15 dollars or so for it, but the subscription model as finally turned me away and made it unusable for free users.
I can’t justify spending over 20 bucks a month for a mixing app, and I have a feeling most people won’t either.
Fix ur app❤️
by drebyron on 2020/11/11 08:27
This app is the best at what it does, I’ve tried a lot of these apps. The matching AI is good. The auto mixing isn’t great, but why get a mixing app if you’re not going to do it yourself you know. But my main concern is that at random times this app gets unbearably glitchy. I’ll play around with two songs and when I listen back to the stitch, my actions don’t register and I have to refresh the app to try again. Again, I love this app but it’s been out too long for it to be acting up like it does. Please fix, thanks.
Psyerxes
by Sinai.Daqiqi on 2018/04/18 12:41
Using this app isn’t fun anymore just because of the new technology you’re using. Your team says that the new analyzer technology can’t gather the songs information in the other hand i can’t play with spoty music cause if the net is on push notifications distribs the volume while I’m palying in party. Please make the analyzer work with local musics. It’s getting on my nerves and i have to use other apps that do the same. Please make it happen.
LET US KEEP OUR MUSIC PLEASE
by otfcoachk on 2020/12/17 20:17
As a fitness coach, pacemaker is an amazing app to let us personalize our playlists without having to play with our phone to change songs. I’ve been using this app religiously for years and have about 200 mixtapes I recycle and continue to make new ones. But PLEASE, LET US KEEP OUR MUSIC!! Too many changes in music licensing and we are losing all of our past playlists with updates. Please, keep it the same and let us keep the playlists already made and don’t take our songs away!!
Used to be such a fan…
by KingOEgypt on 2021/09/25 00:18
I paid for this app back when it was a one-time payment. Enjoyed the features enough and liked showing it off to friends every now and then. Came back one day to find that I pretty much threw my money away since they decided to become a subscription based app. No discount for their early supporters, no new features to justify the insane markup in price. Disappointed in this business model, $4.99 a week is an egregious price for a mixing app of this kind. Maybe one day they’ll attempt to win me back somehow.
So many glitches
by Torismash on 2020/02/19 14:26
Pacemaker glitches constantly. Will not play playlists or gets stuck on the same songs. I’ve submitted for help before with no reply. I recently downloaded pyro to replace it and haven’t had any issues. I absolutely do not recommend pacemaker to anyone especially those that use it for group fitness classes. It’s caused far too many problems and to pay what I do monthly such a simple issue should not be recurring. I’m shocked that there aren’t more reviews stating this bc the company I work for I hear multiple complaints about the same issue daily.
Great app...with a price
by Sleazynoir on 2020/12/14 20:17
Does everything I want out of a DJ app- music mixing and finding music. The almost too huge of a downside is of course the subscription service which I do want to pay for- albeit it’s 5 dollars a WEEK. Be wary. If you don’t pay the app starts to mysteriously act up and never work quite right however it’s still a great interface and easy way into DJ’ing
Amazing and so much fun!
by JohnnyDubstarWhite on 2018/02/20 13:11
This app is so awesome. It seas designed very well and makes it incredibly easy to put seamless mixes together. And if you are more experienced you can really blend some tracks together into something special. I’ve mixed a couple playlists together to use while coaching my Orangetheory Fitness classes and they were a hit! And making mixes can be highly addicting! 🤪🙌🏼
A warning to others
by electrosuicide on 2021/11/10 04:51
I paid in full for this app and all of its add-ons previously. When I inquired about the removal of my access to an app that I paid for, I was given access to the old version via Test Flight, which has now been taken away as well, leaving me only to subscribe to pieced together half hearted software at an extreme premium.
My only recourse now is to warn others to stay away. The app could change without warning and remove paid features or further degrade functionality for the same price or even more.
You pay for access to the app. It never belongs to you. If you subscribe to it, treat it as if the features or the app itself could be removed at any moment. Don’t treat it as more than just a fun toy.
It is the first app I’ve ever paid for and purchased all features because I was so impressed. At one time, this was exciting software.
Fool me once…
Wow, This is amazing!
by Lbs anderson on 2018/12/31 01:39
I’ve been using this app to create special mixes for different events such as New Year’s Eve and it killed it! Yes, the transitions may be a little bad sometimes, but an app this great has to have at least one flaw. Other apps you have to pay to use or are just to complicated. But not this one! I’ve been looking for an app like this for awhile, so glad I found this!!!!!!!!
Honestly I was loving this App until...
by ColeGoddard on 2020/02/19 01:26
It started crashing anytime I tried playing one of my playlists. I’m an instructor and rely on this app to hit sprints perfectly and now I can’t even play music through it anymore.
Please for the love of music and teaching fix this immediately.
It was very buggy from the beginning often times not letting me edit transitions in the moment or I’d start a playlist and it would only play the first song and then stop. But now I can’t play my playlists at all!
Was a great app before subscription base
by Skrhak on 2021/07/03 20:00
I absolutely loved this app when I original purchased it. I paid a flat fee for Pacemaker and loved it so much I invested more money into it purchasing additional type of effects. Then one day Pacemaker got a update and was now monthly subscription based? Now if I wanted to continue to use Pacemaker I needed to pay $5 a month. Apple shouldn’t allow apps be able to suddenly go subscription based. Now the app is useless. Does not work unless you subscribe. All the money I invested into the Pacemaker is gone. Very disappointed.
Couldn’t be happier than without it!
by Hihihihihihihihibitch on 2020/08/29 10:57
Sorry for the rough riding, glad you made it Bro. All of you included in that gender neutral usage of the word “Bro”, including those I may have forgotten to forgive. I forgive and love and acknowledge and value all of you not to mention I owe you all some big bucks. I’m sure we’ll be able to work it out now that I’ve graduated :). Cool, cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool beesZzzzzZ.
Expensive novelty
by Diddle my fiddle on 2019/12/20 08:41
This app could be pretty useful and more convenient if we were able to save mixes offline, had more control over how we cut the music up, and just general bug fixes. The app tends to get very weird when you use it for prolonged periods. While I understand that not all of this is in their control, what is in their control is the cost, For a fun little novelty they charge $5 a week, or $8 a month!
This app has been gutted
by getms420 on 2020/12/18 22:07
What happened to this app can’t even do anything because you have to pay for premium. You pay for premium guess what now you have limited songs to even use so those nice playlist you probably spent hours even days mixing are all now chopped up. So there’s no real way to even fixingThis app even if you’re trying hard enough to work around your limitations I’m disappointed this was the one app that made it easy to mix music now it is just another money hungry trash of a service
Tempo changer?
by HotDoggggss on 2018/03/05 19:05
Did you take out the tempo feature because that was the only reason I got the app
Do you think it would be possible to add the tempo changer to the next update??? I don't have an iPad and I find that feature the most useful? I love the app by the way I just wish it had that one extra feature
Needs Work
by Unhappy Camper Pro on 2019/02/09 19:54
Unfortunately, the iPhone version is a huge disappointment when compared to the iPad version, the absence of some of the most useful features renders this version useless.
It’s essentially an app offering song matching based on BPM as its greatest asset, I don’t want to be unkind, but otherwise it’s just a glorified fade/transition tool. Not useful at all, even with the extra features available for purchase. I’m not sure who could actually find great benefit from using this app.
It won’t mix anything for you, which is fine, but it won’t allow you to adjust songs to match each other either, so that part is definitely deceptive.
Update: being able to adjust transitions between songs isn’t that groundbreaking. I’m not sure of why the functionality is so limited in the mobile version. Maybe to encourage purchase of the iPad version? I don’t know.
Great, but buggy
by sklvsklvsklv on 2019/09/06 04:44
Let me start by saying I am a huge fan of this app. Its very unique and great in its functionality. However, as a piece of software it is horrendous at times. I will often try to make a mix and the app will be very unresponsive, it will take forever to load up a new song to the mix and more often than not the app will just crash. Good but could be far better for the user.
Updated Version is Useless
by maddyt53 on 2021/04/16 05:08
I used to LOVE this app and use it constantly even just to listen to music, but ever since they switched to this new version that requires you to subscribe its completely useless. None of the music I want to mix is even available to play anymore ! I lost all my mixes in the update because I can’t even play any of the songs. If you’re gonna try to make something useful for people to get into DJ-ing, maybe don’t minimize your audience by leaving out a whole realm of electronic and club subgenres.
New improvements that will make your app even better!
by DJ MICK on 2018/03/12 00:14
I would like to see the following improvements:
Ability to search songs by artist.
An option that allows you to analyze files so the BPM‘s are shown on all songs in the library.
When the next song will not blend with the current song playing it should have an echo or some type of a non-abrupt
exit/introduction.
As the current song is playing (at the top of the app) you list songs that are nicely
compatible with the current song playing.
I would like to see your list longer than the approximately 10 to 20 songs.
I will have further feedback as I continue to use your app.
Let me know if you have any questions.
-Thank you
Downloaded and nothing
by jamscottie on 2018/12/30 12:00
As my title says, I downloaded the app and I only get the splash screen.
It finally opened and I looked at the mix that was available, saw I have 10 sessions, listened to the one mix that was available, and I get bumped to 6 sessions available.. how is that when I only listen, is that the way the app works? There is a seven day free trail, I’m not dutifully I’m interested...so what’s the deal, I actually get in on Monday , do a mix, listen seven times and it’s Sunday... seven days pass by?
Yeah, don’t think I want the hassle or the hustle.
$20/mo for an app I already bought?
by Djpresstone on 2020/12/19 13:12
Bought this software early on, and it seems to work now the same way it did when I first bought it. No major new functionality with significant appeal. Enjoyed it so much I gladly paid for all the in-app purchases. Now I can’t use the app unless I pay an additional $5/wk? If I thought Pacemaker would shift its pricing model to such a greedy subscription rate, I would not have paid for the in-app purchases. Price point is way off-base... realistically I’d consider $5/year, or MAYBE $0.99/mo.
