There are more powerful music apps for Android -- Caustic and G-Stomper are both first rate, for example -- but RD3 has its virtues even if you already have one of those. It has a nice, simple, all-on-one-screen 303 knockoff. Actually, it has 2, plus an 808. So if you like classic step-mode 303 sequencing with all the usual bits -- up, down, accent, slide, LP filter -- RD3 gets it done, and it gives you a few effects to add, and a drum machine to give you some beats while you're making 303 patterns. Overall, it's a little tamer than I'd like, but I was able to get a pretty nasty sound out of it by running the 303 through two distortion effects in a row. And you can always export loops and then add more effects on top in another program. There are a ton of more-powerful drum machines for Android -- G-Stomper, the BeatBox in Caustic, and Electrum are some -- so I can't think of any compelling reason to get RD3 for the 808-like drum machine unless you're composing loops for SPC (by the same developer) or you're already in the app using the 303.

This is a fun little find; definitely a cure for boredom on your phone! I'd like to see some FX, delays and reverbs etc! Great bang for the buck! (Running on Android - Samsung Infuse)

Bought this about 2 weeks ago from Vodafone AppSelect and it won't allow me to update. Annoying but I'm giving it a 4 because I've had so much fun with it. Wish there were more Apps like this for android.

Before the Jun 26 update it was just kind of aright. A solid drum machine+303 app but really didn't bring anything to the table and could be criticized for being overly basic. But this update really made it worthwhile. Individual effects routing and 2 basslines at the same time. Really if you want a solid 303 and drum machine combo this is the cleanest solution to that.

The perfect app for a techno head. 2x303 + Sample based drum machine with a mixer and some effects. Simple design, a clean GUI with good spacing for smaller screens. There are a few more robust full-featured DAW/groovebox apps, like Caustic, but for the price and fun factor RD3 is hard to beat. A few features that I would like to see, Pitch control on for each drum sound and an option to import Waves to make your own kits for the Drum Machine.
