Great sound but annoying

Can’t set a slow tempo! Great sounds but poor usability

Can't keep rhythm

Don't waste your money until the dev fixes the rhythm issues.

Hi hope the update resolves this issue for you. enable Link for better tempo

Bad rhythm

I like the sentiment and design but the loops of the things sound stilted and off rhythm so what's even the point. Waste of a good idea (and two dollars) unless the rhythm is fixed to something steady (how can anyone listen to the high hats and be like "yes this sounds good")

Very buggy

Not a solid app at all, for such a simple interface this is extremely buggy and unusable

Terrible

Samples are very poor and some of the rhythm styles are even representative or even in time. I'm looking at you here Bossanova.

I know it's only 99p but so many other apps deliver for this price whereas this is just pish.
