### 1/5 — A complete waste of money

*2026-03-30*

Totally unusable.  No explanation or tutorial.  Bizarre beats.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2026-01-04*

This is not worth a penny.

### 1/5 — Not great

*2025-09-11*

Really useless. Doesn’t tell you what time signature/whether it’s a jig/reel/polka etc or anything. It’s like a collection of Bodhran solos that you can’t really play along to. The sounds are all very shuffly as well with no real heavier beats.

### 1/5 — Souish-souish?

*2021-12-29*

What are those sounds?

### 3/5 — Irish drum beat

*2020-03-11*

I play Irish flute music and 
took the time to photograph the different 
symbols for each drum beat, assign them each a number and that way, I can preview which beat best accompanies each Irish tune
before performing them.

### 4/5 — Great sounds for Irish backup

*2021-04-19*

I like the sounds. Very authentic bodhran loops.  You really have to run the sound through a quality speaker or headphones to hear how great they are.  They go well with session tunes and ballads.  However there seems to be no pattern for a waltz or air.  The various rhythm pictograms work ok to distinguish the patterns but I sure wish they also had written below these icons the meter (6/8, 4/4 etc.).  That would make it so much easier to find things.

### 5/5 — Auv3 would be cool.

*2025-03-18*

I dig the drum sounds, would love the midi file of these patterns.  Makes me feel like Conor Mcgregor and Donald Trump combined.   putting people to sleep and grabbing pu-tters.

### 5/5 — Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day

*2024-03-05*

Really great for the coming holiday.

### 5/5 — Great app but needs a few tweaks

*2022-11-27*

Giving it five stars because 1) as a traditional pan-Celtic fiddler I was looking for an app like this, and 2) the app is free.  It just needs a couple of things to be great.

1) Needs some BASIC rhythms, e.g. a selection of basic reel and jig rhythms.  (Organized into groups, ideally).  The loops provided are interesting and creative, but very few of them are useful for backing.

2) This is a bit of a nitpick, but what’s up with the volume slider? No bpm indication and the thing goes up way too high— it’s like the speedometer on my old Toyota Scion.

### 5/5 — Best free drum loop app!

*2022-03-18*

Great beats. They are great for meditating and feeling one with the divine through ancient Druid energy.
