### 5/5 — Timbales are good

### 5/5 — Drum Starz Is Really A Drum Star

### 1/5 — Hey

*2020-08-29*

Hey drum stars I’m just wondering if you could make app about timbales and other percussion instruments?this apps is great but you guys need an ap just for Timbales?

### 1/5 — It's a joke, right?

*2015-08-28*

The second you tap a drum you not only get an ad, but you are taken directly to the App Store and the bongo app closes. Hey developers, how are we supposed to know if we like the app enough to purchase the paid version if we can't even play one note on it? This app is not only terrible, it's insulting as well.

### 5/5 — Awesome App

*2014-01-08*

Love this app. This app is put together so well. It doesn't matter if your a great percussionist like my son or a novice like myself, anyone would enjoy this app.

### 5/5 — The BEST Bongo App PERIOD!

*2014-01-07*

If you are a percussionist, or love playing drums, this app is for you. It is packed with more features than any drumming app I've ever used. The graphics are stunning, the sounds are amazing. 
You can play to dozens of cool music or drum loops, record what you do, change the pitch, sensitivity, delay, reverb, and so much more. It's also a great app to introduce kids to the wonderful world of drumming.
