Oh I just bought it. Oh this is cute, reminds me just of a real one. 5 seconds later... Ok exit and back to a gaming app. Cute but it won't amuse you very long.
Poorly executed but does what it says

Well, I have raised the bar on this review (2 stars) because: 1. it does what it is meant to do (kinda of), 2. it sounds close enough to a rainstick (I've gotten apps that do a better job at that though: lots better), 3. it's free (and I'm deleting it off my ipod...) I really must wonder, though, how much time was spent developing this app. The graphics are awful. You can see the cropping around the rainstick, and the meter next to it is far from aesthetically pleasing as well. The volume for this is ridiculously low, I always have to increase my ipod volume next to max to use this app (when others don't require this). The response of the stick is delayed to the point where you can clearly notice it. The advantage outlined as being able to play it "even while listening to music" is a joke: you can play all your apps while listening to music unless the developer actually coded it to where it will turn the music off when you use that app or an instance within that app). I felt like giving it one star, but to be fair, since it functions, I'll give it two.
Very Good For A Free App

If it just gave you more control of the sound it would be a 5 star app. When you tip it just so far it turns on and if you try to slow it down by tipping it back just a bit it stops. It is either on or off and not slow or fast. But for free it is great!
Does what it says

Ok, for all of you complaining about how "fun" you thought this would be and how it is stupid, first of all LEARN to SPELL so your review doesn't look as stupid. Second, it is a rain stick simulation! Have you ever played with a real rain stick? It doesn't do very much either! Granted, this does not let you control speed or subtle movements so much, but it pretty much does exactly what they say it does...and it is FREE. So quicherbichen.
Ummm?

What the crap is this? All you do is turn the iPod and change the background? Am I missing something? I just wasted 3 minutes downloading and trying to figure this piece if crap out! Waste of time! DONT GET THIS APP! If this was the last app in the world i wouldn't get it. Even if it paid me to get it and play on it for 2 minutes I still wouldn't!!! Wouldn't let me give 0 stars. Would if I could. -Kaci(;
Decent for what it is, better for younger kids

Is this app simple? Yes. Stupid? Not necessarily. Rain sticks in real life are very self explanatory: you tilt it one way and you hear the rain sound, you flip it over and hear it again. There's no real way that any app developer can make it more interesting than that. And the 180-degree moving background is quite cool. So give it a chance, or het it for your kid to play with. Odds are, they'll enjoy it.
