Good for self training.

bwpark74 on

I like your App, but please make bigger tapping spot. Too often miss tapping with two fingers alternately. Please add an option to change the size of tapping spot.

Great!

An invaluable practice utility for both myself and my students. A word of advice for guitarists: use a finger with fewer callouses or you’ll get very frustrated when hits aren’t detected 😅

Would give 5 stars but

Eertu on

There seems to be no way to disable the little light that follows the beat under the notes. It would make for more realistic and better training. Please add this feature.

Lags like crazy...wait, my fault. No it doesn’t

Sir Funkytown on

I just now updated the app and it’s been rendered completely useless. Oops, blue tooth head phones. Never mind , great app

99Lynn99 on

practice any place any time. Great music app!

Please let us make our own rhythm

kikeyano on

There is an option to modify a rhythm, but is hard to create your own by modifying a rhythm, please make an option that we can create our own rhythm Thanks

This is a must have App

Harvey Edward Pavy on

This is a must have App if you want to get your Rhythm and Sight Reading Chops together.

Least lag or no lag

kate.larocque on

You won't find a better rhythm accuracy trainer than this (probably). Plus the red/green circles at the end of each exercise are an amazing indicator of where you tend to play the beat. Totally worth $3. Don't be ridiculous about the price. The only thing I'd like more of is easy/basic rhythm (quarter/half/dotted half/whole notes). I have a lot of beginner piano students who should use this but there's not much for beginners. (That said, it had a lot of great intermediate and advanced rhythms!)

Great for practising sight reading

Have been using this app for 1+ year and it is still regularely updated. Worth every penny to my opinion !
