Music Rhythm Trainer for Negative User Reviews
✓ Great but the subscription only is horribleThe app is really nice and I am not enjoying giving it a medium rating, but their subscription is a total scam. I would be ready to pay like even 30 dollars to have a permanent license, but no, they chose to make you pay month to month indefinitely only. Their monthly plan ends up costing so much the app is not worth it anymore. I’ll fix my review when they will fix their greed..Version: 3.2.9
✓ Not enough features for $5 per month!If I could pay a one-time fee I would have bought it with the features it has. To demand a $5 per month fee you need to have daily personalized exercises for me. I only pay monthly fees for actual monthly services. Meaning you need to be adding new content or personalization constantly. Otherwise it is just like an e-book. I should be able to make a one-time purchase. I was enjoying this app and I wanted to sight read but it does not look like there are enough features for a monthly fee..Version: 2.7.8
✓ Beginners be warnedThe application determines the tempo for you. There is no way to set a tempo for yourself and practice at your own pace. App will force you to work at the very edge of your capabilities and then it will suggest that you take a break because you are failing perform well enough at the tempo it determined for you. I dont know if this is a teaching technique or not but it doesn’t seem to work very well for me. I won’t be renewing my subscription..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Amazing but not worth subscriptionHow can they dare to ask for monthly subscription? They need competition, this is not meant to be monthly subscription but one payment only..Version: 2.4.0
✓ Great app but....It is a great tool for increasing rhythm notation reading and practicing playing along with a metronome. I recommend it for any musician, not just percussion players. BUT..... There needs to be audio feedback when you hit the pad to play the rhythm it is testing you on. It HAS to happen or it doesn’t feel like you are playing music. As soon as they fix that, easily a five star app that I’d be happy to pay the secret fee for this free app..Version: 1.3.9
✓ It is okI did it and when l got to really high. When l got a rhythm wrong, it literally minus a third of your score....Version: 1.4.5
✓ A shame they made the Sight Reading a Paid FeatureI really liked this rhythm app despite its faults, but after they made the sight reading a paid feature all across the board, I am no longer recommending it to friends or family. $5 a month for this feature is way too pricey. This was a pretty great app for anyone new trying to establish and develop rhythm, but the sight reading contributed to a lot of it. Now that it’s gone, there isn’t anything unique that this app offers that a repeating a friend with wooden sticks wouldn’t be able to give..Version: 2.6.8
✓ Keeps crashingAs soon as you open the app it crashes.Version: 2.7.5
✓ Dosent work properlyBluetooth speakers don’t work with this app.Version: 1.1.8
✓ Bon, mais...Appli intéressante, mais la voix ne compte qu'en anglais..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Shady. Get a different appThis app has decent functionality. But it’s very simple and limited. Doesn’t even have a menu. The worst part is they have you do a recorded session so they can figure out what to fix with the app. They promise a gift card. But when you try to claim it they’ll act like they don’t have your email. Then they’ll just stop replying all together. Shady app. You can find other apps who do the same thing but better.Version: 2.5.0
✓ Great app real shame it requires a subscriptionWould be happy to buy a copy if that was an option but not going to take a subscription out that I’ll forget to cancel and end up paying 100 quid for a little app.Version: 3.1.0
✓ Nice little app but no portrait mode...Good Does what it says on the tin but no portrait mode... Good trainer!.Version: 1.9.9
✓ NiceI like the app but you have to be so accurate. 2 milliseconds off and it’s wrong..Version: 1.7.4
✓ Potential to be goodNice layout and idea, but performance is laggy when reviving rhythms. Other apps have a calibration function to combat this..Version: 2.5.3
✓ Handy rhythm exercises but a little priceyI like the app. It’s a bit pricey for what it is but I think it’s a nice rhythm exercises tool. My issue with it is that it’s not so helpful in supporting you to improve. It would be really handy if it gave some tips on how to imagine the rhythm in your head. Having rhythmic solfeg would be much more useful than having a really jarring voice counting “1…2…3…4” when you make too many mistakes. It doesn’t make sense that counting the beats is the only “support” you get no matter how advanced the exercises you do are. I was recently stuck on syncopated triplets - my issue isn’t with identifying the crotchet beats..Version: 3.2.5
✓ Odd rhythms and unforgiving ratingI want to love this app. It has a lot going for it. However there are some glaring issues that make it not enjoyable to use. 1) Errors and Bpm slowing - while it makes sense to slow down the tempo if you are not grasping the rhythm, the app counts one mistake and equates it with an attempt that had several mistakes. For instance a 16th note might have gotten missed after a whole note rest and apparently that’s as egregious an error as having missed a whole passage. 2) There’s a small demo before you get to make your attempt, yet there is no count-in. So you simply have to jump right in or wait another two rounds if you want to process the pattern. 3) Some of the rhythms musically make no sense whatsoever. What’s the point of being competent at rhythm if not to get better at complex musical rhythms. I’m not trying to impress someone with my ability to meter out perfect negative spaces between broken notes..Version: 1.2.6
✓ This b******tI hit on time but showing me I didn’t hit it on the right time..Version: 2.3.2
✓ A totally boring and stressful way to practiceI am studying to be a music teacher right now and play a wind instrument. Downloaded it to see how useful it could be for teaching. For beginners it starts having you read rhythms with no verbal explanation of what to do and very quickly you must automatically know to repeat it back without being told to. An annoying voice is counting the rhythms and you must repeat rhythms you get wrong over and over. Then I tried the placement test which assessed my rhythmic skills well and gave me some challenging ones I wasn’t used to. I then realized that the only way to use this app is tapping your finger and I was thinking, “How well can this really apply to instrument playing or singing? Maybe it could be good for percussion players but no one plays with just one finger.” People play music in different ways, so they should practice rhythms in different ways to get better. TL;DR This app is not a good tool for learning music, there’s no variety to it, but may be a way to pass the time if you don’t mind the monotony or the robot voice..Version: 2.4.6
✓ Monthly subscription is a no goI downloaded it to see if it would be good for my students. I can’t ask them to pay a monthly subscription. The app says I rush my 16ths, maybe that’s what people like about my playing 😆, but the degree at which I had to lay back in order to get it to register properly seemed pretty extreme to me. I am on iPhone 6..Version: 1.9.9
✓ Great for Free; too Expensive PaidThe app is informative and fun, and I would purchase the full version right away if it was about 60% cheaper per month; I would also give it 5 stars. Two stars lost simply because of the extreme monthly price.Version: 3.1.0
✓ One of the most frustrating appsI don’t usually have “gamer rage”, but sometimes this app brings me close to it. I am improving my rhythm little by little with it, but it is really stressful like a strict ballet teacher. For roughly half of the exercises you repeat after its rhythm pattern, and it jumps right to your turn after—sometimes within an eight beat. This is hard to time perfectly. Even being slightly off can mark it wrong. The app takes charge a lot, slowing down the BPM when it thinks you’re doing poorly, telling you to take breaks which ruins the flow of the exercise, and giving you tips you are often already doing like counting out loud. The other exercise is sight reading, and you jump from line to line with no warm-up. If you miss even one beat over several lines, your entire progress for that exercise will start back at zero. There is a slight forgiveness to when you tap, but not much. Now for the most frustrating aspect in my opinion—if the app decides you are doing too poorly at sight reading, it might take you back a level you already completed. This has caused me to spend a session redoing something I already passed, and having it revert again on the next session. TLDR this app will help you if you want near perfect rhythm, but if you’re like me it will frustrate you and not feel worth the subscription. It is a great idea but with a very demanding and unforgiving design..Version: 2.3.2
✓ Snare Drummer over 40 yearsStarted reading rhythm at the age of 13 in intermediate school. Today I am 57. I’ve been reading rhythm for a very long time. This is a great program for site reading and listening while reading the notes to learn how to read rhythm and hone your skills. When I have a few minutes of downtime, I like to bring out my phone and learn some of the more intricate patterns and higher level rhythms..Version: 3.2.0
✓ Extremely well designed concept…frustrating progress rewardsThis is the most unusual feedback I’ve given for any app. The core design of this app is brilliant. I WISH I could love it.. But the timing response on my iphone 14 Pro is glitchy enough (or the tap feedback/timing is so strict) that even millisecond variations on complex rhythms (16th rests etc) are penalized and entire phrases take 3 or more successful iterations to advance….it’s SO frustrating that you’re ruining the gamification logic. Its like talking with someone who corrects the accent in your speech after every sentence. Its not fun. It makes me hate using it. Which is a tragedy because i want/need a tool like this. But this app makes me want to chuck my phone. 1. Allow for a configurable lenience to “griding” finger taps because the app isn’t accurate either. 2. Allow for advancing through the patterns with some incorrect without making someone get STUCK on a pattern….Version: 3.2.9
✓ Only 3 due to payment optionsThe fact that this is a subscription app and not a one time payment app is pretty crazy. It is well made but many people aren’t able to practice religiously to put it to work and I don’t want to subscribe to something I can’t maximize the value out of. If I could just pay for lifetime access, I’d probably rate it higher but no chance is it worth it to most people to subscribe to a rhythmic sight reading app for phone only..Version: 1.9.3
✓ A new bug.Has been working well until the latest update. Now the app just freezes after two or three errors and has to be restarted..Version: 2.4.4
✓ Need more controlThis app is alright, like it certainly improves your rhythm to a certain point. But the transitions from line to line are really confusing. And when you get it wrong, the metronome slows right down. Some people might find it even more difficult to do it slowed down (like me). I think it would be much better if you could chose your own metronome speed..Version: 1.9.5
✓ Good but has some glaring issuesMy main issues are that it is stricter, like harder to score as “correct” if you tap slightly before the beat vs slightly after. That can get annoying It ironically gets harder the more you mess up, slowing down a lot makes it harder to get the rhythm down, especially cause of the reason I gave above about it being stricter if you tap slightly Too fast. Also the whole verbal counting with the robotic voice confuses/throws me off more than helps me.Version: 2.4.0
✓ Nice idea and interfaceThis was cool, but am I right in thinking it goes no further than mixing triplets and sixteenths in 4/4 and 3/4? This seems to be the most advanced stage I could get to. Seems like this app is useful for beginners only. Some more ideas would be: -phrases that last more than one bar -greater variety of tempos -levels where the player has to actually sight read the rhythm, I.e., the app doesn’t play the rhythm first -more time signatures - there was no 2, 6, 9 or 12, to say nothing of 5, 7 or 11! (Do correct me if I’m totally mistaken in this - perhaps there are more advanced stages which I couldn’t find for some reason?) All in all it’s a cute little app; the interface is very attractive, and it’s fun to use. Recommended for beginners..Version: 1.9.3
✓ So much potential…The app is amazing and has so much potential. However, I think for the developer to charge a monthly subscription for it, when it only does 4/4 and 3/4 is a joke..Version: 2.9.2
✓ Great idea and useful but limited and buggy.When you’re doing semi quavers or even any note value the notes overlap each other. Even when doing it perfectly it says it’s wrong because it thinks you're trying to play a different note. This and the ten minutes a day dulls the experience exponentially..Version: 3.1.8
✓ Skipping AheadThis is a very useful app for people who are staring out new to music rhythms, but I already play two instruments, double bass and bassoon. So I am already pretty good at rhythms. Then I had a rhythm in one of my music pieces that I was practicing and I just couldn’t quite figure it out. When I went to the AppStore I found this app. It had about a 4.5 star rating, so I thought it would be okay. Then I go into the app and it starts me off with easy quarter notes and eighth note stuff. I wanted to get to the section where it had sixteenth and eighth notes in one beat. If I really wanted to get there, I would have to play every level before that. I did not have time for it, plus I already knew most everything. I would only recommend this app to beginners at rhythms. Again, this seems like a very useful app, but for someone that has been playing an instrument for a couple years or more, it’s not very useful..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Broken since it doesn’t allow for simple quantization of input.Not all phones are the same, not to mention that trying to tap a screen while holding it or when it’s on a smooth surface is NOT going to register correctly when this program is expecting input on the milliseconds. Needs a CALIBRATION TOOL or better yet an option to widen the accepted input timings. I played the same line in unison into Sibelius on a pad while also triggering the phone and Sibelius reported correct timings while this couldn’t even detect that an entire sequence was offset..Version: 3.3.3
✓ 16th notes off tempoThe app is very interesting and user friendly, though I notice a bug with the 16th notes. When tempo is fast, the 16th notes move back off beat and it's almost quarter triplets... it's like it can't be played fast enough to reach the tempo. The app has to slow down at 85bpm to be synchro again with the 16ths. Thank you for looking at it!.Version: 1.5.8
