cool concept, needs work
Thedudesullivan
the notes are not sensitive enough and most of the time when I tap them nothing happens.
Level 4 doesn’t work
AppLubber
Can’t get past level 4 because it counts down in double time yet song is half time. IOW, it’s buggy.
This could be wonderful!

This game is a lot of fun until you hit a level where it is impossible to pass, not because the rhythm isn’t executed properly but because the program doesn’t quantize the answer properly. It would be helpful if there was an option to change the tempo of the music to help a student achieve a challenging level.
Loved it but not the latest update

My kids love it but not the new background. They think it looks dull. Great content though.
Update needs work

My students have LOVED this game over the past couple years, but now they complain about the sluggishness between screens and we do not like the new scrolling feature where the student must move their eyes quickly back up a line, whereas before the entire rhythm could fit on one page. Colors are duller and not as many fun cats on the screens! :(
Picky picky! But aesthetically wonderful.

I got this app for my kids to practice rhythm. I really love the variety of music that sets the background for the exercises. So much nicer than clapping rhythms to a metronome. The one thing I wish the app included was a review of the exercise for the player to see which rhythms were missed. The standard is stringent: it is a stickler for holding notes for their full values and attack precisely on time. However, it’s hard to know why reasonable attempts are rejected. Is it that inadequate pressure was given for a particular beat, or is the player just not hitting the sweet spot on the answer pad? Or does the developer want people to practice each rhythm multiple times for mastery? Regardless of why, practice never hurt anyone, though some students might get discouraged.
Awesome

Really great learning tool and fun to boot. I really wish there was more content though: like full songs and more complex songs too.
An idea to share

What a great idea! For the really rhythmically challenged, can there be a “helper” option? Maybe a “clap” sound to note the beat, that the learner could tap along with. I think this will help some children (and adults) understand the concepts of rhythm better, instead of just using colored notes to indicate success.
Great app!

I teach private piano and this app is great for enforcing rhythms. My students love this app!
