Ugh cant win! ### 4/5 — Great app! *2014-12-16, version 2.7* This is a great app, but I think one improvement would be to add the ability to record the app. Otherwise, you can have a lot of fun with this! ### 3/5 — Bongo Drumbs *2014-11-30, version 2.7* This is the best game I've ever played Kind Regards Tahlia Evans 💜 ### 4/5 — 😄😃😀😊☺️😝😛😉SUPER FUN😄😃😀☺️😝😛😉 *2014-11-28, version 2.7* 😃My daughter just taps taps and taps.

The rest needs to be sampled accurately ### 1/5 — Needs improvement *2015-05-30, version 2.7* I don't want to be mean but I love the game but the ADDS STOP ME FROM PLAYING! ### 1/5 — It's boring *2015-03-29, version 2.6* Eh,you could find better ### 1/5 — Does not work *2015-03-09, version 2.7* You get an image of bongos and an add banner, that is it. It does not work and yes I made sure my volume was on. ### 1/5 — Kids and ads *2014-11-18, version 2.7* Don't work well ### 1/5 — No sound *2014-10-07, version 2.7* Have tried restarting, but no sound from this app. ### 1/5 — No sound *2014-05-09, version 2.7* What's up with that!?! I tried everything to fix it, too. ### 1/5 — Bongo drum thoughts *2013-12-10, version 2.6* Well it hasn't really got a good beat to it and lacks in rhythm. Wouldn't recommend it to anyone really rubbish! ### 1/5 — Too much delay to be any real use! *2013-11-30, version 2.6* The first thing required is an app that has no lag, this is critical with drum apps, then quality of sound comes next, aesthetics last! Sorry but the lags needs fixing then it would be a great little app for learning bongos silently. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Really good app *2023-06-23, version 3.2* This was an app that encouraged me to be a percussionist because when I was younger I loved to play the cymbal and bongo drums ### 5/5 — Classic app magic *2020-10-27, version 2.7* I reminisce playing on this classic early iOS app when our imagination was sparked by the possibilities of iOS. this app unlike the vast majority still running on iPad first Gen. Keep these legacy apps alive, it's an important part of our digital histories. A bridge between the physical and digital world. I'm sentimental, it's just a manual bongos app after all, yet somehow the treads of our universal origins are here as we drum fingers across touch capacitive glass tablets of yore. Keep the pulse beating in our hearts. ### 5/5 — :) *2015-10-22, version 2.7* Super fun and peaceful app. My only wish is that the sticks and cowbell reacted better to multiple taps. Otherwise, this seriously put a smile on my face. I always wanted a set of this style of drum and now I can play with one wherever I am. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Just what I was looking for *2015-08-28, version 2.7* Very playable with great sound. Lots of fun. As far as I can tell it is the best Bongo app on the App Store. No noticeable latency. Love it. ### 5/5 — Great *2015-06-25, version 2.7* Hard to start off with but its really good once u know how ### 5/5 — Bongo fun *2015-05-24, version 2.7* This is fun whatever your age lol ### 5/5 — Great *2015-01-20, version 2.7* Great ### 5/5 — Fun *2015-01-09, version 2.7* Thank you Skunk Bros for such fun ### 5/5 — Great app! *2014-12-22, version 2.7* Love it! ### 5/5 — Bongo *2014-12-11, version 2.7* I like it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
