User reviews

Unsatisfactory

There is no basic sample database as shown in the pictures.
Therefore one has to start from the scratch with zero inspiration.

Waste of money

I just purchased this app & paid the obligatory $2.99 however once the purchase was through & the app downloaded, there was nothing in it. Very annoyed.

Response from developer

Hi, I’m sorry the app hasn’t met your expectations. The main purpose of the app is to let you create your own notations for West African rhythms. There is a number of sample notations installed with the app, but they might be tricky to find in the Document Browser (it’s a standard iOS component, I hope they make it friendlier in future versions). Please check the “Getting Started” tutorial https://youtu.be/P2fP9sdrJLk. I would be happy to help if you drop me an email at pasha@djembetime.com.

Great for practice!

I’ve been studying Djembe for many years both in the US and West Africa. This app is awesome for practicing basic rhythms, working on chops etc. It’s very simple to use. Nothing replaces the feel and swing of live musicians but this app is perfect as a practice tool. I hope they add more rhythms soon!
