Please do something. ### 5/5 — super *2025-12-16* klingt gut, Dazuspielen macht Spaß, kein Abo! ### 5/5 — Mega gut *2025-10-26* Und fair. Für 8€ bekommt ihr 500 Drumloops namenhafter Drummer. Endlos Spaß ! ### 5/5 — “Inspired to practice” *2025-10-05* This Drummond rhythm app is one of the most resourceful and inspiring applications that I’ve ever worked with plus the different histories from where the drum rhythms came from the different patterns. It’s quite informing thank you so very much. I’ve had this for a couple of years now and there’s so many tools as a songwriter that I can lean to… I was wondering if there are any new beats or do you have Amapiano that you might add one day other than that thank you very much for an awesome songwriting tool and these times where I use this live rehearsals and performances… Thanks. ### 5/5 — Ditch the green bald guy! *2025-10-05, version 3.2.2* Really great app! Only thing I hate is the green bald guy! ### 5/5 — Bug *2025-08-17* It's a great app, but are not working anymore o my phone. ### 5/5 — Super appli et SAV très réactif *2025-07-25* Super application avec de très bonnes boucles de batterie. Parfait pour travailler. Les concepteurs sont très réactifs aux demandes. 5 Étoiles 👍👏 ### 5/5 — Métronome sans bruit *2025-07-10* C’est cool, et j’ai pris le pack infinite mais le métronome de fonctionne pas 😉 ### 2/5 — Crashes all the time *2025-06-28* I really really thought I had found my dream drum loop practice tool. The loops and range of rhythms and styles is fantastic. I especially love that the songs and drummers the grooves are from are also listed. But the app crashes like crazy. If I adjust the tempo on a track, it crashes. And then no matter how many times I quit and re-open or pick a different loop, it crashes. If you only ever want to hear samples at the original bpm, it’s fine I guess. But as a practice tool it’s not useful. **Developer response:** I sincerely apologize for the delayed reply! Uninstall Drumgenius. Log out of the Apple ID on your device and then log back in. Install the latest version of Drumgenius. Open the Drumgenius app, go to the Store page, and use the Restore function to recover your loops. Once done, please let me know by writing to batbass@libero.it. Thank you! Mauro Battisti ### 3/5 — Keeps crashing/More Tony Williams *2025-05-30* Love the app, but it’s missing some medium-uptempo swing tracks from Tony Williams. Also it crashes everytime I leave the app and come back to it ### 5/5 — Improves my play! *2025-04-27, version 3.2.2* Seems like I’ve had this app forever. Use it to fine tune my rhythm skills. I play lap steel and a bit of a hack, but trying out various genres - especially the world beats - has made me a better player. Updates are superb. ### 5/5 — Simply amazing *2025-04-24* Great and diverse loops, no clutter, very easy to navigate, and an amazing metronome. Where has this been all my life? Thank you so much for all the time spent on this great app! **Developer response:** Thank you so much, I'm happy you enjoy DG! Yes, selecting, transcribing and creating the loops with virtual sounds and my midi keyboard is a "crazy", long work :-) A Big Hug and W La Musica Mauro Battisti ### 5/5 — Rechte *2025-03-22* Ist top. Darf man die Loops in eigene Songs bauen und veröffentlichen? **Developer response:** Danke! Ja, du darfst die Loops in deinen eigenen Songs verwenden und veröffentlichen. Eine Nennung der Quelle (z. B. "Drumgenius Loop") ist willkommen! Mauro Battisti ### 2/5 — Needs to join the party *2025-03-05, version 3.2.2* Some excellent grooves but it’s an isolated app - can’t cut n paste or import into other apps. ### 4/5 — MORE WORLD RHYTHMS PLEASE!! *2025-02-19, version 3.2.2* I love this app… its the only app that has convinced me to start practicing and even just jamming/playing with a drum loop. I would love to see more world rhythms added to it, specially those from the Andes of South America… if you have some Festejo how can you not have Saya!!? Amazing app ### 4/5 — Great app! Sudden glitches *2025-02-17, version 3.2.2* I love this app. I use it to practice, and compose. Recently there have been lots of bugs and glitching issues. Should I delete it or redownload it? Not sure what’s wrong. There haven’t been updates in a long while. Hoping all is well, and wishing for the best! This is a great tool for study. ### 5/5 — More Tony Williams *2024-12-16, version 3.2.2* Love the app, but it’s missing some medium-uptempo swing tracks from Tony Williams. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-12-16, version 3.2.2* My daughter is a professional percussionist and recommended this app to me. It’s been super helpful while I’m teaching myself drumming. Being able to slow down the harder patterns is especially awesome. Definitely recommend! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Drumgenius’ Fall From Grace *2026-10-06* I’ve had Drumgenius for a while, probably a few years now, and just recently purchased the infinite credits pack. Today I opened the app to be greeted by an AI generated home screen icon. Jarring, but not unusual today, so I open the app only to see an obviously vibe coded UI with typos, poorly optimized loading, glitches that jump you back to the top of pages, no settings at all other than disabling screen standby, and the terms of use and privacy policy placed in the CENTER of the profile page. This is the laziest most pathetic cash grab I’ve ever seen. The count in function doesn’t even use the same metronome sound as the metrogenius function, because they literally just prompted Claude to add a count in to their loops and it made its own sound. They do all of this while moving to a predatory subscription model and raising their prices. I would have been completely fine if the developers just said, “listen, times are tough and we aren’t making enough money, we have to raise prices,” but this is insulting to everyone who has supported you and your project, and to all musicians. I regret ever giving you all a single penny. **Developer response:** Hi, I completely understand your frustration if you ran into initial bugs with the v4.0 release (though they are already patched in v4.0.4). However, calling this a 'cash grab' or dismissing it is really unfair to the reality of this project. First of all, every single loop in Drumgenius has been painstakingly programmed by me, note by note, stroke by stroke on a master keyboard over years of work. There is no automated shortcut for transcribing and crafting authentic drum grooves. It is genuinely sad to see an enormous amount of dedicated transcription, musical research, and independent development reduced to insults like that. I've always poured my heart into making this the best possible tool for musicians. If you're willing to give it a fair look, I'm always here by email to help sort out any actual issues you experienced. ### 1/5 — Sadly busted *2026-07-13* I was sad to leave a bad review but the app appears to be stale and have problems. All of the loops have some issue in the playback with a load of noise coming through and are unusable after purchase. I tried to leave a support message but after writing it up on the website it spits out an error when attempting to submit. Seems like a great app but sadly now doesn’t work and unable to leave the developer feedback. ### 1/5 — Buyer Beware, this app is busted *2024-09-08, version 3.0.2* I spent money for unlimited downloads and every time I try to download a groove it tells me it failed due to a network issue, my network is working 100% so the app is clearly at fault. Buyer Beware. ### 1/5 — Обнулилась покупка ! *2024-02-22* Примерно два года назад купил полную версию на 500 лупов. Сейчас приложение стало работать , как бесплатная версия. Что произошло? Исправьте ! Я же заплатил деньги! **Developer response:** Прошу прощения, что так поздно отвечаю!!!!! Пожалуйста, мой друг, удалите DG, а затем выйдите из учетной записи Apple ID. Выключите/включите ваше устройство. Войдите в учетную запись Apple ID. Установите DG и воспользуйтесь кнопкой «Восстановить». Это должно решить проблему. Пожалуйста, свяжитесь со мной по адресу batbass@libero.it !! Спасибо и еще раз извините за задержку... Мауро Баттисти ### 1/5 — Stürzt ständig ab *2024-02-22* Ich konnte noch kein Preview anhören, da von vornherein die App dabei abstürzt. iOS 17.2.1 iPhone 13 mini. **Developer response:** HALLO! Die Tatsache, dass es einfriert, lässt mich an einen beschädigten Download denken. Versuchen Sie Folgendes: Deinstallieren Sie DG. Melden Sie sich auf dem Gerät mit der Apple-ID ab/an. Installieren Sie DG. Lassen Sie es mich bitte wissen: batbass@libero.it Ich drücke dich Mauro ### 1/5 — Subscription is a scam *2023-03-06, version 3.0.2* I paid the $8 for the subscription because many of these loops are great but it didn’t actually allow me access to the drum loops and was ultimately a scam. Until this is fixed, I would advise you only use their free trial and redownload when you are out of your 4 free songs, like the app has me doing despite paying. Bummer! Could have been a good app. ### 1/5 — Took away all my purchased tracks *2022-05-11, version 3.0.2* I even tried restoring in the store section of the app and I still don’t have access to the tracks I purchased. ### 1/5 — App crashes right away *2021-08-25, version 3.0.2* The app crashes when I try to preview the Jazz 3/4 It comes up with a pop up asking to preview or buy and crashes ### 1/5 — Sound cuts off all the time *2021-02-13* Every time I swap from drumgenius to forscore or any pdf reader app the sounds cuts off, and beyond that the sound will cut off intermittently while using metrogenius even while staying on the app. Very irritating. I used to love this app but it gets me so frustrated while I am trying to practice that I might never use it again. ### 1/5 — App crashes while downloading loop *2020-09-14, version 2.0.3* I’ve been using Dg for a number of years and purchased the infinite credit packs when I first downloaded the app. Recently, whenever I try to download one of the loops, the app crashes. I’ve “restored purchases” under the store link and it confirms that I have purchased “infinite credit packs” but they won’t download. Has the app not been updated by the developer recently? I’m using it on my iPad running iOS 13.7. It worked great before, but now it’s not working at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome Update, shows the dev cares. *2026-10-14* Been using this app for years and then a huge update bringing new life to the UI, new loops and even written transcriptions of the drum parts!!! Wow thank you dev, your love for this app and passion for music really shows. Thank you. This app has changed the way I practice. ### 5/5 — Muito bom *2026-10-12* Uso muito nas minhas aulas e recomendo sempre para os meus alunos. **Developer response:** Oi Luciano, Muito obrigado de coração! Um abraço, Mauro ### 5/5 — The Best practice tool *2026-10-12* 리듬 연주자라면 장르무관 무조건 구매하세요. **Developer response:** 정말 감사합니다! 이렇게 멋진 평가를 득점해 주셔서 큰 힘이 됩니다. 악기 연습에 유용하게 쓰이길 바라며, 앞으로도 좋은 연주와 함께하시길 응원합니다! * 마우로 (Mauro) ### 5/5 — A great collection of DrumGrooves *2026-10-12* I have used this wonderful app for practicing and I have encouraged my guitar students to do the same. So many wonderful grooves are contained in this app. I’m just beginning to learn some of the new features of this marvelous new update. The developer is also quick to respond with any fixes that can occur with new updates. I strongly recommend this. **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you so much for the incredible review, and for sharing the app with your students! I hope you enjoy exploring all the new features. Thanks again for your support! A Big Hug, Mauro ### 5/5 — Musically Authentic Grooves For Serious Practice *2026-10-10* As a piano teacher and composer of 30 years, I'm picky about the tools I recommend, and Drumgenius is the real thing. These are real recorded drum loops, not generic machine patterns, and they're stylistically accurate, with the nuance and detail that makes it feel like a real drummer. The range is remarkable, from jazz and Latin to world music and odd meters, and the notes and discography references for each loop make it a teaching resource as well as a practice tool. I chose it for my students because it brings the music to life in a way a metronome never can, and I use it in my own practice for the same reason. The developer is also responsive and keeps the app well maintained, which is rare and much appreciated. **Developer response:** Hi! Thank you so much for the fantastic review! I'm really glad to hear you're finding it such a valuable resource for both your own practice and your students. Thanks again for the great support! Best regards, Mauro ### 5/5 — Crazy update after so many years! *2026-10-06* Was very pleasantly surprised to see that this had an insane overhaul overnight after using this for years. Incredible features that truely make this the all in one practice app. I am encountering some strange stutters when using the metronome, hopefully these can be fixed. Keeping this as a 5 star to support these folks regardless cos this work is amazing! **Developer response:** Hi! Regarding the MetroGenius stutters, I've looked into the issue on particular devices and just released an update featuring an improved engine (Dark Mode as well). If you have a moment, could you let me know if the problem has stopped on your device now? Thanks again for your support!! A big hug Mauro ### 5/5 — First review I've ever felt compelled to write *2026-10-06* Guys, this new update is wonderful! I've been using this app for maybe a decade at this point and it's helped me with practicing and teaching. This update is gonna change the game! I'm especially thankful the developers haven't made you pay an 'update' fee, as I'm still a lifetime member and still get access to the loops in addition to new features. Many many props and thanks to all working on this. Imo every drummer and musician should be using this. **Developer response:** Thank you so much for the incredible feedback! Hearing from someone who has been using the app for nearly a decade really means the world to me. Just a quick fun fact: there isn't actually a big team behind it—it's just me working as a one-man project, building and coding everything myself! Knowing that lifetime supporters like you appreciate the updates and new features makes all the late nights entirely worth it. Thanks a million for the stellar support, and keep up the fantastic work with your practicing and teaching! Best regards, Mauro ### 5/5 — Super *2026-06-22* Die Enzyklopädie. Absolut top. Und! Es Groovt wirklich…:) ### 5/5 — Outstanding!!! *2026-02-04, version 3.2.2* EVERY MUSICIAN SHOULD KNOW OF THIS APP!! It is SO much more inspiring to play with a real drum loop than a metronome. This app is a dream come true!! Wish I knew about it sooner!! ### 5/5 — Outstanding rhythm, time and groove development tool! *2026-01-23* I can’t recommend Drumgenius strongly enough as an outstanding, fun, tool and resource to complement one’s usage of a standard metronome. For what you get (for the cost of two or three cups of coffee)…having access to this entire groove library is hard to BEAT!
