I’m bad

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

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

There is a heavy sound and tapping delay when using AirPods that make this basically unusable. Please fix

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

Too much fun

best way to practice!!!! Designed wonderfully for percussionists and musicians in general who wish to work on this skill.

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!

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

I love Clapping Music ?

Each time I play this game I feel I'm dump ? But I guess that makes it such a great thing. It's not easy, it'll make you work and improve.

Can you add an option for musical notation view? Would be more fun for those who can read rhythmic notation. Thanks!

It’s been my dream to learn this piece and this app is a god send

Its a great concept for an app and i want it to work so much! but for whatever reason, there's intolerable tapping latency on my iphone xr that makes it basically useless. I hope the developer can fix that. ill check back and change my review if it does. after some more play im increasing my review to 3 stars. the latency seems to be related to using blue tooth head phones. if i play on the iPhone xr speaker, its better. there's still a little too much lag in the sound for my taste, but at least the timing records accurately and doesn't boot you from the game for errors. so its not useless, but dont plan to play with wireless headphones until the developer updates.

My wife has already asked me to stop.

Sharpens your rhythm, soothes your mind!

Harder than it looks. I hope to be a pro clapper by the end of this madness.

I have terrible rhythm sense. This is addictive and entertaining and is improving my sense of timing.

Fun way to test your rhythm skills and a great tribute to Steve Reich! Surprisingly challenging, like the actual piece.

This app is great for drummers practicing rhythm. I only recently found out about it and I love it.
