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. ### 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. ### 4/5 — Almost great *2025-10-31* I’ve been using this FOR years now but lately when I go to custom training it won’t let me move past exercise one. It keeps saying “Staff generation has failed. Check that the config is not asking for impossible things” but it is in their default configurations. I contacted customer service via email to explain this and they couldn’t understand my problem or help me. I use mostly custom training for my needs so if it doesn’t work the app is useless for me. Please help me out. Even if you have to reset my account, I don’t care, that’s pretty much the option I choose all the time anyway. **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. But to my knowledge we have never failed to explain why this message appears, it's usually pretty straightforward. Are you sure you contacted us and we replied? Can you please email us again mentioning this review so we can help? Best, Stéphane. ### 4/5 — It isn’t work with headphones *2025-10-19, version 1.7.2* It isn’t work with headphones ### 5/5 — Making a difference for me *2025-09-22* Its making a big difference for my youth orchestra playing. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2025-07-01, version 1.7.2* When it comes to learning timing or helping to count while playing an instrument this app is second to none. My one criticism is that when learning quavers the app still treats a crotchet as 1 beat and a minim as two beats instead of 1+ for a crotchet and 1+2+ for a mimim. I also wish there is a way to use your own custom created rhythms in the app itself for practice. If there is a way could the app designers please explain this to me because it is not clear in the app. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2025-06-21* Hands down the most in depth rhythm app. Would love if they added 3 or more voices and more than one bar for dictation. ### 5/5 — Appreciation *2025-03-30* Super outil de travail ### 5/5 — Que gran aprendizaje! *2025-03-18, version 1.6.4* Esta app si me ha ayudado muchos a mejorar en rítmica y mi estudio ### 5/5 — EXTRAORDINÁRIO *2025-03-16* Tem um plano de aprendizado simples e intuitivo, parabéns! ### 5/5 — Incredible *2025-02-04* this is a great app that will teach you progressively how to read notated rhythms as well as hearing rhythms so you will be able to dictate them back to paper or your head. If you’re interested in being able to actually write music that you hear in your head or wrote down the rhythms of your favorite music this is a highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Fantastico *2024-12-19, version 1.6.4* Davvero utile e ben fatto. ### 5/5 — App muito bom *2024-11-21* Bom demais ajuda muito ### 5/5 — Way better than all competitors in the space *2024-11-20, version 1.6.3* As a music teacher I find this the most comprehensive way to teach rhythm to students, the polyrhythm breakdown is awesome and the calibration feature makes it solid and reliable for all devices. Thank you <3 ### 4/5 — Davvero Ottime *2024-11-01, version 1.6.3* Per imparare a leggere la musica apps davvero utili! Per l’app sul ritmo sarebbe bello poter avere un suono percussivo sul touch Grazie ### 5/5 — Un plaisir *2024-10-27* Super application pour apprendre le rythme à tous les niveau.le parcours est progressif et chaque réussite est une petite victoire.on à vraiment l'impression d'avancer et à son propre rythme. À essayer les yeux fermés. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Broken *2022-10-08, version 1.3.1* I can’t get past the calibration section to do any of the exercises. Whenever I finish the calibration it just restarts over and over not letting me finish it. ### 1/5 — Crashes and is stuck in a loop *2022-05-02* I can’t use the app because it is stuck trying to get me to calibrate. I did this initially and now it ask me to skip or start calibration. Hitting skip has me tap the screen and loops back and hitting start does nothing. Seems like it might be ok but I can’t use it. **Developer response:** Hello, can you please email us at hello@completerhythmtrainer.com so we can check with you what the problem is? Best, Stéphane. ### 2/5 — disappointed no way to measure accuracy *2025-05-28* Expected the ‘tap’ button on the ‘free practice’ to actually do something, such as tap along to a rhythm and get feedback on accuracy. Nope. **Developer response:** Free practice is just a way to input and play rhythms. The tap button in Free Practice is indeed just a tap tempo. If you want to be tested on custom rhythms, use custom training mode. Best, Stéphane. ### 2/5 — This app is cool but i need it to work. *2022-04-24, version 1.3.1* Since ive updated it, im getting crashes all the time. Please fix ### 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. ### 3/5 — Great app, just a small issue with sound quality *2025-04-24* This app is fantastic, with a wide range of features that many other apps just don't have. However, I’ve encountered a small issue. I haven’t purchased the app yet, but I’ve been using the version in my library. I noticed that while the metronome works fine, the piano sound itself has some crackling and muddiness. It would be great if this issue could be addressed so that users can enjoy a clearer sound. Nonetheless, thank you so much for creating such an amazing app! I’m sure it will help many people around the world. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review. I'm afraid that to our knowledge there is no cracking or muddiness in the piano sound. If you still encounter this issue, can you please email us at hello@completerhythmtrainer.com? Best, Stéphane ### 3/5 — Need More Accurate Tutorials *2023-09-04* The app seems great so far except for the inaccurate tutorials when you get to 2/2, 3/2, and 4/2 time signatures. They describe the half notes ‘ minims as having the LENGTH of a half note, yet the rhythm ‘ metronome rhythm they play gives the minim/half note the length of the quarter note/ crotchet in these time signatures. For beginner learners this inaccuracy is confusing. Also, it would be helpful to include the terminology that folks use to verbally count rhythms! This is especially important with dotted notes. Eg 1,2,3,4, ; 1 & 2 & 3 & 4; 1-te-2 & 3 - te- 4 & (if the last is even correct). I had to go through youtube videos in order to assist me in making past the dotted note drills. Extremely inconvenient that they don’t include such an integral feature to accurately COUNTING out rhythms!! **Developer response:** Thank you for the feedback. I think that you misunderstood and misread the tutorial though (you can display it again by going to drill 1.4.1, menu, tutorial). In 2/2, 3/2 and 4/2, the beat has the length of a half-note, not a quarter note. In other words, in such time signatures, a quarter note has the duration of half a beat. Do not hesitate to email me at hello@completerhythmtrainer.com if you need additional details. Best, Stéphane. ### 3/5 — Okay *2023-03-01, version 1.5.4* Okay ### 3/5 — Nice App - But Crashes Too Often *2021-09-21* I bought this app because there's nothing else like it on the market. I love the user interface; and I love how adaptive and varied the drills are. But I must say that this app crashes far too often for me to fully enjoy my purchase. I hope the development team finds a way to iron out these issues sometime in the near future. **Developer response:** Hello and thank you for your feedback. We are not aware of such crashes. Can you please email me at hello@completerhythmtrainer.com so I can check what is happening? Best, Stéphane. UPDATE: didn't receive any email. ### 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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). ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Recommended by ChatGPT *2025-11-22* Exactly what I needed with a non-subscription pricing model. Better than the other rhythm trainer app. ### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for! *2025-11-11* I’m not very far in but I’m having a good time with it and I’m excited to keep it as a daily habit to work on! ### 5/5 — Utilissimo *2025-11-08, version 1.7.2* Molto utile e apprezzato per avere controllo nel timing ### 5/5 — Best of the best *2025-09-29, version 1.7.2* The author/s of this app have no idea how much joy this practice and learning tool brings. I’ve been stuck in a rut for many years playing in the same old 4/4 box as a guitarist. I’m only a chapter or so in, and can already feel the syncopations and interesting rhythmic ideas brewing in my head ! I’m excited about where the road will lead as I continue on this learning path! 10/10 brilliant app!
