Fantastic

Zeboim1 on

Amazing for any musician

Great app

JP5JP5 on

Amazing app that actually helps you improve your sight reading. Highly recommend! One feature request: ability to create rhythm exercises with notes distinguished as up strums or down strums for muted guitar practice. Huge potential!

Could do with a few new features...

Piano man '84 on

Like the ability to tap 2 different rhythms at once... help co-ordinate polyrhythms A nicer layout for creating custom rhythms. Having a Sibelius type layout of choosing note lengths would be easier than the current system. Being able to fully create a custom rhythm with out having to modify the previous one. Would give teachers a lot of flexibility. This means giving you a blank Stave, choosing the time signature and then creating a custom rhythm.

Phenomenal, fanastic!

Very well thought out app! Awesome improver of my reading and timing.

Get it. It's great.

Tez from Oz on

If you want to learn to read rhythm, this is the best I have found. Training mode plays along with you, test mode just gives you a metronome. Get it.

Great

queenjodos3 on

Overall, a great app that works well. One minor issue is that the note duration sound setting doesn't change, it always stays stuck on the bass sound even if another is chosen.
