### 1/5 — Question

*2025-04-11, version 1.0.35*

### 1/5 — Play drums

*2022-12-16*

This was a great free app. However recently I noticed adds that you can't get rid of - so I paid for the app with the promise that the adds would be removed but the adds still remain - what a rip

### 3/5 — A little too much ads.

*2020-08-25*

The ads keep popping up every time I exit a type of beat, and it is very annoying.

### 5/5 — what i’ve been looking for
