### 2/5 — Could be great with some adjustments.

*2020-06-04*

I love that it teaches the user to develop the habit of counting internally while reading rhythms.  When measure lines are introduced, why not use them from that point on?
- when eighth notes are introduced, flag them in pairs, like they would actually appear in written music.
- continue to prompt the user to count. (The count-off disappears)
- syncopation (eighth note-quarternote-eighth note) could be handled better.  The whole section involving mixing eighth notes and quarter note seems random and without context causing the user to just try to tap the screen when the dot is in the shaded space visually instead of relying on sense of pulse.
The introduction of eighth rests is better, but measure lines and proper flagging would make this great.  
If these adjustments were made I would use this with all of my students and recommend it to all of the music educators I know.

### 3/5 — Money........whyyy!!

*2020-06-03*

This games is so good but when I got too level 12 I had to play which is anyoing I know you need money but when I just get into it over all besides that it’s a nice game I like

### 1/5 — Useless

*2019-08-06*

This app is useless to help you learn and practice your rhythm. 
You look a figures of note pass and you press when you see it, I have 3 stars all the time, but I can assure you that me rhythm is no better in real life.
Don’t waste your money here!
