Позволяет менять, темп, ритмическую структуру. Советую Жаль что платная ### 5/5 — Very Interesting *2025-11-14, version 4* Perfect for practice ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-10-20, version 4* I love this app. I wish it was less expensive though for I am a struggling musician and would love to use it more, but with the full five bars, I can’t do much. ### 5/5 — Brilliant! 👍 *2025-08-25, version 4* Brilliant! 👍 ### 5/5 — A lot of fun *2025-08-16, version 4* Great to play with beats to clean house to and keep you motivated! ### 5/5 — Wonderful variety to jam with! *2025-06-23, version 4* Have used this for a few weeks and the variety & tunability is awesome! ### 4/5 — Fun metronome *2025-06-14, version 4* Recommend by my music instructor. ### 5/5 — Realistic *2025-05-03, version 4* Sound plugged it’s just amazing, I can play it by hours 👍🏼 ### 5/5 — Fab *2025-04-28* Convenient, easy to use, authentic and great sounds. Thank you very much! ### 5/5 — Gut zum testen *2025-04-15* Der Klang ist super, ich werde es mir eingehender anschauen und wahrscheinlich die Proversion kaufen ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2025-04-15, version 4* For performing learning using in projects, etc ### 3/5 — Come on let’s go *2025-04-09, version 4* I’m being coerced to write this - it’s what I have to do to get 32 free bars of use. The fact that I’m doing it kinda speaks for itself tho ### 5/5 — Free version is cool, too bad it hasn’t been updated in years *2025-03-21, version 4* I like it, but you cant even buy it anymore ### 5/5 — Sounds like real percussionists *2025-02-04, version 4* Free version is addictive. Pretty sure I’ll buy the paid app. ### 5/5 — Great sound collection *2024-10-04, version 4* This is a fun app ### 5/5 — New to electro percussion! *2024-08-23, version 4* Love the variety of beats and the natural sounds! ### 5/5 — Groove-y *2024-08-23* The free version is cool, offering beats with just enough mods to make you wonder if it’s time to invest in the full version or time to take a sober look at yourself and wonder why you keep waking up in safari clothes. ### 5/5 — Of course, it’s the bomb... *2024-08-07* This app, not unlike anything Lumbeat has put out there, is simply the bomb for that realistic and super-tweakable backline latin groove that complements grooves already used in other Lumbeat apps. I love the timeless interface Lumbeat uses, and ultimately, serve to make their apps very “live” friendly, and I’ve used them for years onstage looping, with the crowd tripping out on the amazing sound my invisible band mates deliver. I’ll always use Lumbeat apps, because they sound great, and trust their reliability so much I am willing to use them live, without hesitation. Lovin’ it for real. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for this amazing feedback! 😊 We’re thrilled to hear how AfroLatin Drum Machine Free (and other Lumbeat apps) have become essential parts of your live setup. Knowing that the realistic, tweakable grooves and timeless interface enhance your performances—and that you trust them onstage—is incredibly rewarding for us. Here’s to many more memorable gigs with your invisible bandmates delivering those authentic Latin rhythms! 🎶🥁 Thanks again for your continued support and for sharing the groove with us. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Not free *2024-01-03* This is not free as claimed . Scammers ### 1/5 — Зачем платить *2023-10-27* На каждом iPhone есть бесплатный Garage band с барабанами лучше чем у вас , зачем вам платить Люди используйте Garage Band ### 1/5 — Absolutely corny *2023-07-31, version 4* I read all the amazing reviews and when I tested the patterns they’re just a bunch of corny toy beats. There are no pro level drum patterns anywhere on this thing ### 1/5 — Nervig *2017-04-22* Die App fragt einen alle 3 Takte danach, ob man nicht die Vollversion kaufen will - so etwas kann ich nicht leiden und habe mir lieber DrumJam gekauft - die kann dasselbe, nervt aber nicht so penetrant! ### 2/5 — A cool way to add some texture *2023-09-04, version 4* This small app helps to grab a few bars to add some texture to a percussion track! Everything sounds very authentic and natural. ### 2/5 — Restrictions *2021-05-14* Je suis en train d’écrire cet avis car l’app me le demande pour tester la demo ### 2/5 — Paranoid Developer *2018-01-08, version 4* The developer puts so many restrictions on this demo that it's almost impossible to tell if it does what I need it to do. There is no documentation either so as you try to figure it out, it resets or stops. The full version may be excellent or it may be junk but I can't get a feel for how it works under these conditions. Unfortunate. ### 2/5 — Afro Latin Lite Beats ... *2016-08-17, version 2.00* With excellent quality rhythms, sounds, and variations, this a very flexible drum loop player. Unfortunately, this cannot be loaded in IAA or Audiobus, there are no settings, manual, or Ableton Link. The user interface may not appeal to everyone. This is a good work in progress app and I would be interested to see some further development. ### 3/5 — Look simple *2026-07-02* It is a pretty simple soundbox ### 3/5 — Decent sounds and intro rhythms *2025-07-09, version 4* I’m writing this to get extra bars, I’m not a full time user. It works! Authentic beats and sounds. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gold standard in realistic drum grooves *2026-07-25, version 4* Great range of sounds and grooves. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-05-14* Vale a pena ### 5/5 — Класс *2026-03-30* Классная машинка, очень полезная для занятий! ### 5/5 — Clutch Drum Study *2026-03-27, version 4* I'm learning drum machine programming for my hardware drum machines. Afrolatin Drum Machine shows me how the beats are arranges in a step grid like rows of my sequencer. It is a deep resource for my drum study. ### 5/5 — Great learning tool *2026-03-23, version 4* An excellent way to figure out clave, add grooves to dull pieces, and experiment. I’m in! ### 5/5 — Coole App ! 👍🏻😄 *2026-03-04* Es macht echt Spaß, mit der App zu spielen und neue Sounds zu erstellen. Macht weiter so ! ### 5/5 — So far SO good! *2026-02-19, version 4* Really having fun exploring the different rhythms to back up some traditional Mexican songs, great tool for breathing new life into old tunes ### 5/5 — Sick *2026-02-17, version 4* Worth ### 5/5 — Great idea *2026-01-31, version 4* Still learning how this works but i love the idea and hope to figure it and upgrade ### 5/5 — Great creativity potential. *2026-01-07, version 4* Is what I was looking forward. I like the potential to create music. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
