## What is Kiko Freitas?

"The idea of this App is to show the student and musician my vision and approach aplying some of the most important brazilian rhythms and styles on the drum set. It is very important to remember that the best way to understand and get to know any music style is to listen and play these styles, living and breathing them deeply and also getting to know the masters and the recordings that best represent the music you want to learn. I would like to thank all the great drummers who came before, opening the way to the new generations and giving form to the percussive tradition from Brasil on the drum set."

### 5/5 — Ótimo

*2021-10-30*

Parabéns ao Kiko e a equipe, ótima parceria!

### 5/5 — Excelente

*2021-02-28*

Conteúdo do App é excelente mas depois dessa atualização minhas compras sumiram como devo fazer. Obrigado.

**Developer response:** Olá, obrigado pela avaliação. Devido a atualização pra iOS 14 sugerimos que remova o App e baixe o conteúdo comprado novamente clicando em “comprar”. Após informar a senha, será apresentada um mensagem (da Apple) que o conteúdo já foi comprado e você poderá obtê-lo (baixar) gratuitamente. Havendo ainda dificuldades, envie um e-mail para suporte@brainsides.com com o seu número de WhatsApp que iremos entrar em contato para auxiliar se necessário. Fique tranquilo que as suas compras na Apple são vitalícias.

### 3/5 — Audio sem som

*2020-03-30*

Os videos free e o de apresentação não tem som. E na página inicial tem um "button" perdido no meio da tela ( na imagem próximo do joelho do Kiko). Abraço.

**Developer response:** Olá Felipe Ruiz, os vídeos tem sim, desative o modo silencioso do seu dispositivo. Esse comportamento é padrão para o iOS. Qualquer outra dúvida estamos à disposição.

### 1/5 — aulas somem depois de compradas

*2019-03-14*

eu comprei uma aula para experimentar, assisti uma vez e agora se quero ver de novo devo compra-la novamente! capitalismo selvagem demais. ou esse aplicativo está mal feito, ou é um roubo!

**Developer response:** Olá Yumema, não precisa comprar de novo não, funciona como qualquer aplicativo que você compra pela Apple. Uma vez pago, você baixa quantas vezes quiser sem precisar pagar novamente. A mensagem que aparecerá é: "Você já comprou esse item, deseja baixa-lo grátis novamente? responda "Sim". O download ref. a compra, pode ter sido liberado pelo iOS por falta de espaço no seu dispositivos. Portanto, gostaríamos que reconsiderasse a sua avaliação. Se ainda assim, quiser devolver a compra, faça pelo seu recibo da iTunes. Qualquer dúvida estamos à disposição. Equipe do Drum Lessons.

### 3/5 — Love Kiko, app is buggy

*2017-09-20*
