### 4/5 — It’s great!

*2026-08-30*

It’s by far the best app for rhythm, however, I found the explanations for some functions like ties sort of confusing to understand.

### 5/5 — Amazing Stuff 😃

*2026-08-21*

I bought them all muahahah. Thank you very much for these amazing training tools for musicians. No fuss. Just fun and educational 💪

### 5/5 — Très utile pour des étudiants

*2026-06-30*

Je l’ai utilisé pour me créer des exercices personnalisés complexes (triolet, quintolet, septolets, etc).

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work

*2026-06-03*

Latency issues galore. Tried to get help with their tech support and the employee went from rude to ghosting me. If it doesn’t work for you just uninstall, not worth it.

### 5/5 — Well designed

*2026-05-21, version 1.7.2*

This is a well designed app that is really helping me to internalise different rhythms. Care has been taken (i.e. to take into account delays caused by Bluetooth headset and different phone speeds). Recommend as the best rhythm teaching app I have found…

### 5/5 — Parfait, enfin une app qui fonctionne!

*2026-05-16*

Enfin une app d’exercices rythmique qui fonctionne! Le réglage de la sensibilité de reconnaissance du tap est parfaite. Après en avoir testé un paquet, celle la est idéale, très complète et adaptable à l’enseignement.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2026-04-12, version 1.7.2*

I couldn’t even clap in time before this app. I am making slow but definite progress with some discipline.  I occasionally have to go back to consolidate before progressing, but that’s the nature of most learning. The one thing I would like from this app is to have either microphone or midi support.

### 5/5 — Great for training rhythmic accuracy

*2026-04-10*

This is such a great app, it’s improving my sight reading and accuracy. The bite-size lessons feel like fun games without being distractingly “gamified.”

### 5/5 — Très bonne appli !

*2026-03-23*

Merci pour cette excellente appli de rythme !!!
Je n’ai pas acheté l’appli music reading trainer car apparemment il n’y a pas de reconnaissance de diction, j’aimerais lire le nom des notes sans chanter et que l’appli reconnaisse la diction…. Taper sur le cercle ou le piano ne m’intéresse pas, et je ne souhaite pas jouer avec mon instrument, je cherche un exercice de lecture de notes en parlant… merci d’avance si c’est possible.

### 4/5 — Amazing app, worth the purchase

*2026-01-13*

The app is pretty great. I really like the functionality and the fact that there is no data collection or tracking. 

The free version is more than sufficient for learning the basics of 4/4 and 3/4 time. I purchased the full version because I appreciate what the developers have put into the app and how they aren’t using it to collect data or to push subscriptions.

My only two complaints are how the instrument auto plays in the read modes (not associated with the user’s tap) and how the speed of the tempo cannot be adjusted (there are benefits to the slow tempo, but there isn’t much music out there that is played this slow. It is difficult to be accurate with such a slow tempo. Training multiple tempos would be nice).

**Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. The tempos (which varies depending on the drill) are carefully chosen for each drill (and I would say not slow at all!), but you can change the tempos by going to menu, change tempo when in a drill. Best, Stéphane.
