    Helps develop rhythm
    I came across this app after seeing a Steve Reich video by gerubach on YouTube. This is a great little app. It’s very well designed. It helps develop a rhythmic feel without having to know musical notation. I found it initially frustrating and difficult, but then I realized that you can adjust the practice settings to slow things down and work on specific patterns before adding them to all of the patterns. I found that working in one pattern per day, gradually increasing the tempo was optimal. Once you learn to feel the rhythm, it becomes quite easy. I wish there were other rhythms beyond xxx-xx-x-xx. Update: I’m realizing now that there are some bugs in this program. When I open the app go to setting to increase the tempo, then practice, the tempo remains slow. When I set it a second time, it works. Also, I let practice run without clapping and it scored my 88% accuracy. Show more

    Rhythm
    Super fun if you’re practicing your rhythm and tempo.

    Needs to be optimized for Bluetooth headphones
    There is a heavy sound and tapping delay when using AirPods that make this basically unusable. Please fix

    Cool but weirdly hard if you read sheet music
    The visual cues on screen don’t match what I hear, which makes it pretty difficult to play. It would be awesome if there was an option to view the patterns written out in notation while playing the game. It would also make the rhythm practice done in the game more practically applicable for musicians (seeing rhythms you play in the game written in notation will make it easy to recognize them immediately in a piece you’re sight reading or whatever). Just my two cents I hope a dev sees this. :) Show more

    This is such an fun app!!! I’m a dance teacher and this is a great thing to play for rhythm training. When I play it, I feel so happy!

    I would love to give this 5 stars.
    But it’s just unpleasant to play. Missing one beat will send you back so fast and it’s just not fun when you miss one beat and have to start over because of how fast the game will kill your run. Show more
