Reviews of Beat Note

  • Fantastic Program for Teaching

    In a pinch I can make a groove or fill and have it printed out, emailed and saved as a PDF by the time a student is walking out the door.

    There are of course some notation features that need to be added such as sticking for flams where the grace note is also included for the sticking but those features are certainly heard from the developer.

    I definitely recommend this app for any student, teacher or player!

  • I love this app but it got ruined because i have to pay now

    I love using this app because it lets me write and transcribe music in a much easier way than I’ve ever written by hand, BUT it got ruined by the free trial its offering because now i have to pay for half of the stuff that the app haves. Im setting my five stars to three.

Best, Derek Original Response: Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience with Beat Note. I'm thrilled that the app has made writing and transcribing music easier for you. It's taken about three years of full-time work to develop Beat Note to its current state, and I'm grateful to see it helping you in this way. That being said, I understand the frustration caused by the recent changes in the app. You may have encountered a bug that allowed access to more features than intended during the trial period. This was a complete oversight on my part, and I sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it caused. As an independent developer, I rely on Beat Note to support myself, but I also understand the importance of providing a fair and transparent experience for users. I want to make things right for you, so please email me from within Beat Note by going to the Settings tab and selecting "Email Derek." I'll address this issue promptly.

  • BEST DRUMMING APP ON THE MARKET

    Beat Note packs quite a punch.

    I’m playing 250+ shows / year and use it every. single. day. to write, teach, shed, and create content. I find the intuitive interface stellar and user friendly. Clearly it’s been made by drummers for drummers. I’m constantly notating groove ideas on the fly, incorporating sticking variations, setting up loops to play over and shedding with focus, and I find Beat Note pushes me further by providing unique tools to put the fun and creativity in my daily sessions.

    It’s perfect for beginners learning to read and for pros ready to shed. The developer is attentive, listening to community feedback, and constantly updating. Bravo. Excited to see what innovative features are next for this community oriented app.
