Steven Reich’s ClappingMusic App is a very hands-on, fun app to be available on the App Store! Not only is the game fun, but it is also very addictive! I can’t wait for more from this amazing app! Through all the hardships, consequences, and obstacles I’ve gotten through this game, I still love that this application is a very challenging obstacle for any individual to play! You just have to have the *ears* for it, of course! :). Otherwise, this game is one of my *favorite* applications that are downloaded onto my iPhone! Sincerely, Me (Anonymous)! :) Show more

This app is great for any rhythm enthusiast

All of the practice patterns play the sound of pattern 1. Please fix!

Good so far, but where is “practice mode”? Very challenging for me ?

This is so addictive in a good way. I love getting to experience this music.

This game is a fantastic tool to train your finger accuracy for rhythm especially if you play piano/keyboard or electronic drums with finger drum pads.

Why does the score say twelve reps each but on that app it changes? Easy is 8 reps each. Hard starts with twelve then switches to 8!

This app is absolutely terrific, my independence in part playing has become so much more solid! I’m totally addicted, love this!!

Finally beat the hard level. Only annoying part are the pop ups asking for a survey that no longer exists

The app is fun but doesn’t work with Bluetooth. There is enough latency to throw off the timing using Bluetooth headphones. Once I plug in hardwired headphones the timing is fine. Given that most new Apple devices don’t have headphone jacks, it poses a problem. Show more

Too much fun! HaHa

I love this idea and the app works super well - but the pattern changes are not correct. You’re supposed to move back an eighth note with each change but on the app the first change is a quarter note and the patterns seem generally out of order, which defeats the whole purpose of the piece. And if you clap the piece as the composer wrote it, you fail the game :( Show more

I’ve love this app for a really long time. I’ve recently come back to it after a year or two away, and I’ve noticed that the patterns are out of order from what the original piece is. The pattern no longer just moves forward by a beat, the order seems arbitrary. You’re not supposed to sync back up with the original clapping until after the 12th pattern, but for some reason pattern seven is exactly synced up with the ostinato clap. Still super fun, but maybe an update along the way made the patterns got out of order. Show more

I tap right when I’m supposed to but it doesn’t register until .5 seconds after I tapped. I like the game. Plz fix

I had this game downloaded a while ago. 4 stars because it's very frustrating and confusing at first

Haven’t tried the app yet. Hope it doesn’t crash

This is one of the best things I come across. As a drummer I could always use methods to improve rhythm and this app is SO fun. Plus I'm a fan of Reich. Music for 18 Musicians? Come on. So good. BUT. It started crashing today. And not even a crash that I can recover from. Once it crashes I can't open the app again, because it'll crash almost immediately. I deleted it and re-downloaded, and it worked for a bit, but the same thing happened again. I'm intensely bummed out because I have so much fun with this. I read a similar complaint in a review...from one year ago. So my hopes about ever being improved are not high. That being said, this app idea HAS to be expanded upon somehow. It's too good a method to teach rhythm and more needs to be done with it. Show more

I'm really excited to use this app; it looks well built. It is malfunctioning at the moment. Tried on iPad (2015) and iPhone 6s Plus, both devices it crashes after one practice session and absolutely will not reopen whatsoever. Deleted and reinstalled the app on both devices without success, the problem prevails. Please fix, Adam Neely's video on clapping music got me pumped to try it! Show more

I love the game but the app crashes upon exiting practice mode and must be reinstalled

This app is really interesting and fun. Its easy to start but hard to stop.
