So much potential!
MarkMunny

This app is fantastic. Everything I expected, plus a little more. I just ask that in a future update, that you add a scroller that tells what note I am hearing while listening. Similar to playing rock band, persay. Other than that, more beats, tempo, and odd time signitures, and you've got a 6 star app!!! Keep up the good work!

GREAT with room for improvement...

This is a great app but it just needs... -more beats (especially rock) -longer and more complex beats -the abity to change the tempo And just a few minor things. If that happens, this will definately be a  app. It would be really awesome if sometime in the future you could add the ability to write music. That would be AWESOME!

Great idea, but needs some work
Drum Moose

I love the idea, however I noticed a couple problems: - Not all of the notation matches the beats that it provides. - You can't change the tempo, which is helpful for practice. - Being able to write And share beats would be useful. - There are a limited amount of variations to the genres of beats provided. Hopefully there will be updates. Thanks!

Tempo Control Pls

Potential

Great idea but needs work. Tempo control for practicing would be awesome. Would you guys please consider doing that?

Good app!

Good app. Highlighting of the currently playing note "tabtoolkit-style" and tempo control would make this 5 stars.

Great app
