GrooveClix

I’m a musician and long time iOS developer. I really wanted to like this app because I really like Jay (and Dave) as a musician, but it falls short. First, a ‘Pro’ subscription isn’t enough to access all of the content. For $4 per month, I don’t want to be squeezed for additional libraries. So it feels like a bit of a cash grab. The app functions as advertised, but the UI is just terrible. It looks like a (bad) 90s graphic design project. There is no state saving. Regardless of how much time I spend configuring the app, it resets every time I reopen. There are a few smaller UX issues that could use improvement. Here is one example, if I set a tempo ramp to increase 4bpm every 2 bars, and I start at 82bpm and end at 100bpm, the app never gets to 100bpm. It stops at 98bpm. Yes, if you add 4 to 82 4x you’ll get 98. But I chose 100 for a reason. There are a few ways to handle this behind the scenes. Is this terrible? No. Just a bit annoying. With improvements to the UX/UI and a better in-App purchased plan, I’d reconsider this. But for now, I’m moving on.

It would of been a great app, But, it has many bugs Crashes a lot

I realized the while phones time is displayed while in landscape mode, it never syncs meaning it doesn’t update to current time. I think you forgot to write a refresh rate.

It says the new apps are not available every time I try to get it

The current functions work great but the sneak peek stuff needs to become fully functional, with new sneak peek stuff added. The app is looking a little stagnant.

Tempo button does not function Can’t use the app bummer

Best groove and click app I have ever used… Thanks guys

I’ve been using this as my “go to” app ever since it came out. I LOVE it. Every once in awhile it would randomly be very quiet and I’d have to reconnect/reload and it would most of the time fix the issue. Now with the latest update it makes it too quiet to use anymore with no remedy. I’ve tried cranking the EQ, and of course the volumes are all the way up on both the click and groove. Hopefully they remedy it soon because I’m gonna miss it a lot in my current workflow. It might be some sort of bluetooth issue because the volume seems fine on my ipad. And yes, I’ve made sure the bluetooth speaker volume is all the way up… 2/26/24 I see that the developer responded… it definitely was NOT my phone volume for the record. I’m assuming whatever happened with the better bluetooth integration in the last update did the trick. It was the same on my phone and on my iPad. Both had terrible volume issues prior to updating each and then they both worked great. SO… being as the problem was fixed super quick after my review and that everything works great now I’ll be updating my rating. I truly LOVE the app and I’m glad to have it working for me and my students again. I’m SUPER looking forward to new grooves! I really hope they are coming soon!

Speechless have to work with a little after watching tutorials grabbed my musical attention so fast after seeing the Ad for got to messing forgot I have to go to work! Wow creative as heck!

I literally don’t know where to start… My grandfather always used to “ don't look a gift horse in the mouth”. With anything, and I mean anything you can ALWAYS find something to critique or wish it had this or done that. Look, I’ve been a professional drummer for many years. When I started out playing, my father who was and still is a professional musician and recording studio owner. So I was blessed from the beginning. A rock star for a father who owned a very sweet and popular recording studio. I was like 11 I believe 1981 and he had the legendary Linn Drum Machine that I would setup and practice to. I mean, 11yr old beginner drummer not many were knocking on the door asking to play with me. I didn’t know it at the time but all the hours I would just put some phones on and play to I was actually mastering playing with a click track, which if you are a beginner do yourself a worlds favor and get this app. Ok, speed up many years to few days ago when I downloaded GrooveClix… PEOPLE OF THE WORLD, CHRIST IN HEAVEN THANK YOU FOR MR DAVE WECKLE AND HIS PARTNER IN CRIME JAY OLIVER FOR GIFTING THE WORLD WITH THIS PRICELESS TREASURE THAT CAN NOT BE COMPARED TO BY ANY FREAKING DEVICE, APP OR PERSON!!! I know also that being human beings and wanting to always better something if there is anyway this app can just stay just like this in regards to updating infrastructure ect. Of course add new grooves but dear Lord, please don’t mess up this app by tweaking the greatness out of it. Ok stop reading this and flipping start jamming out!!!
