iMaschine gone from App Store

wow! what a truly disgusting way to treat your customers. string us along for more than half a year, still without fixing even just one downloadable sound pack, just to keep saying update “soon” the whole time, for the update to be that there is no update & we’re all beat. we’ve gotten zero heads up as far as a notice to maybe export what we have before it’s removed & too late. you people really should teach a course on how to ruin your good name & slap your loyal supporters in the face.

we paid for this app & all of it’s packs. we want you to fix the broken Quantum Collection pack to be able to download again so that people can export their projects since you removed it & took your app off the App Store with absolutely no notice. we wanted some clarity & honesty about the future. you guys really thought this was the best way to do that? as someone who bought all of your apps & bought your physical products, this is the last time i purchase anything from this company if this is how you roll when it’s time to help those who invested into your business. literally all of my projects are now broken & i can’t fix them because you removed the Quantum Collection pack (& the entire app) without saying a word or giving us a heads up to export to a more trustworthy alternative that won’t pull the rug out from under us tomorrow & then gaslight us for nearly a year.

the original iMaschine app was on the App Store & supported the entire lifespan of the iMaschine 2 app. this is nonsense that you couldn’t at least give us notice or give us time to transition, not to mention not lie to/ignore us repeatedly begging for help & answers from you.

if they don’t at bare minimum fix that one sound pack to be able to download for their customers, yet announce in the near future a BRAND NEW APP/product & you’re bright enough to purchase/support it after they spit in our face, that’s totally on you. you’ve been warned about these snakes & their slimy business practices. i’ve never wanted to withdraw all of my support from a company so badly in my life.

fix the issue you created & be loyal to your loyal supporters NI! (or whatever your name is now)

Everyone who has Maschine2 should export all their iMaschine2 projects to that ASAP, But We Still Need The FREE “Quantum Collection Expansion Pack” in order to export all songs including ones created with that Expansion Pack, Without it our projects will be incomplete & lost for ever…..Smh

I just have made a quick internet tour to see how people see Native Instruments those days. And OMG!

NI is in red. Looks pretty Dead to me. Pity, that was a cool company. Apparently NI have greedy approach to customers, they lie and maintain faulty hope customers have about product support & development, they kill their legacy products, iMaschine being another example. It's all reported on many forums out there.

There is no hope, guys. At this pace, NI dies during next 3 to 4, max 5 years.

Who knows maybe there will be a real Maschine for iOS coming soon... 😜 I know nothing, just speculation. With the power of todays iPad that should be easily achievable.

I almost bought one of those Microsoft Surface Go tablets just to try out the experience. But I don't really want to use Windows.

Sound design on iOS is an incredibly small niche flooded with fly-by-night developers that release half-baked software that gets abandoned within a year. If it was growing, Apple probably wouldn't have hidden the entire category at the bottom of the app store burried under "See more categories".

There are some great synths, production environments, and creative apps and hopefully Logic Pro brings more attention to this space.
