Was good. Now rubbish.
I have had this on my phone and have used it for guitar and bass practice. It was good and easy to use. Now it has very small knobs to control and what used to be a good sound is now rubbish. From a musical drone it is now an electrical interference noise - or cheap mouth organ. When you’re on a good thing stuff it up completely.

Totally useless
Ripoff
Avoid
All the "drones" are more like repeated whole notes. They are short samples that pause and restart every few seconds, even on the infinity setting. The samples are also extremely low quality. The only way I could say that you get what you pay for is if the price was "Get".
Response from developer
The early version was an experiment but version 2.0+ introduced a proper, high quality audio engine and I hope you were able to upgrade to enjoy it. It's far better.
Great practice tool!
This app is a great way to expand your musical imagination. I find it very useful when practicing how to navigate between chords in a musical way.
Pulsing, not constant.
Pretty useless for me. The drone wavers and pulses, no matter what you do -- even if you put it on infinite play and turn off the percussion. If you're trying to tune a musical instrument, practice scale intonation or the like, it's not what you need. I'm not a pop music person, so perhaps this app has applications in that field. But I'm sure I do not know what they are.

Improv Improvement
Practicing with drones is a great way to exercise a wide variety of musical skills. I've spent hours jamming with this app and you will too.
The app is easy to use and that makes it easy to reach for. Anything that gets me on my piano practicing improv (for hours on end) is welcome in my routine, and droneplayer does reliably and enjoyably.
The drum patterns are useful and evocative. I even spent some time with my kids teaching them the love of improv with droneplayer. We took turns 'scatting' over droneplayer and we had a great time.
Bottom line: droneplayer is day to use and it puts me in the right mood to jam-- I don't have to sequence anything, or rifle through lists of mixer-routing-insutment to stay on the right mood. Start droneplayer and start having fun.

Great Practicing Tool!
Few apps come along that I would deem valuable and essential for the improvising musician. Droneplayer is one of those apps! This is a fun way to jam and it will play as long as you want. Controls work flawlessly. Thanks for a great app!
Are u kidding me?
Unusable controls, buggy! Not ready for prime time. Don't waste your money!
