### 5/5 — So much fun

*2014-01-11*

If u are just a beginner or a professional this app offers you an Opportunity to learn or perfect your skills. I enjoyed very much, easy to use and I love the play along with my library songs.

### 5/5 — The best Bongo app period!

*2014-01-09*

This app is by far the best bongo app available for the serious percussionist. I've tried all the other bongo apps, and they are a waste of time. This app was obviously designed by drummers, and it shows from the graphics to the incredibly realistic sounds. I've even plugged in my iPad and used the app for coffeehouse gigs.
If you are a drummer, this is the app to get.

### 1/5 — Bongo

*2024-07-28*

Drums wit lotta ads every time you switch a setting ads pop up even randomly while paying bongos n such. Tooo many interruptions

### 1/5 — Ads! Ads! Ads!

*2016-02-15*

You like ads!? You've got the app for it! 

You like bongo drums? Find another app. 

You can tap a bongo once or twice but hideous ads pop up constantly, you cannot keep any rhythm going, or play along with anything, because of the ADS!  

So, because you can't play more than like two seconds at a time, it's an absolute waste of time. 

There's a free app called Real Drum, which has bongos, and other drum sets, for free, and you are not deluged with ads. I hate pop up ads worse than anything, and I understand advertising pays for the free stuff, but to put it in the middle of what you are doing, rather than on the top or bottom, well it defeats the purpose. Know what? I can't read the ads, because I deleted the app. Pointless!!!

### 1/5 — Piece of  ^¥€!

*2015-08-28*

I usually don't bother to review bad apps, I just delete them. But every once in a while an app comes along that is so bad it really leaves me no choice but to do my civic duty and save you all some pain and agony by telling you how terrible it is. I don't know what the bongos sound like because they are unplayable. Hit a drum, get an ad. Hit the other drum, go directly to the App Store.

### 1/5 — First class

*2013-11-28*

Garbage

### 2/5 — Very annoying banner ad

*2012-07-02, version 1.4*

Yes, I get it. Ugly annoying banner ads necessary in free versions but please REMOVE it after a minute or so of each session. VERY annoying to have it there the whole time. It interferes with the app. Fix that and avoid deletion.

### 5/5 — Needs Better Instructions

*2024-12-08*

Nice App, Good Sound but can not easily / at all export the music file (produced from the recording) to my iPhone 16pro..  Export button does not go directly to the app store for purchase.  The Bongos! App export option should be listed nearby the regular app.  I need help.

### 5/5 — Good Game

*2024-01-13*

Just How Will The Game Be Terrible? There’s Not Much Hispanic Music But It’s Great. Also Can You Add Cajōn? It’s Nice To Be Peruvian Again.

### 5/5 — bongos

*2022-02-14, version 1.9*

my friend hates this app

### 5/5 — Timbales

*2020-08-23*

I was wondering if you could make a app just for timbales wich are high pitch drums use in Latin music...I love this app but I also wanted you guys to make an timbales app so I just wanted to let you know that...I’m 14 years old greetings from 🇵🇷puerto rico

### 5/5 — I would recommend!

*2020-06-16*

This is such a fun app to mess around with! It’s the best bongo game ever! I love it so much! Though it is a bit confusing when you record and go back to the settings. But, it’s not enough to take off a star! Get this now before you regret not getting it it’s amazing!

### 5/5 — Make option to drum pads

*2017-11-23*

Can you make the app convert to drum pads?
This will make it easier to play
The graphics are brilliant but need to convert for better playing.

Thanx
