Thanks for giving us another chance! It's feedback like yours that helps us address people's concerns, so we really appreciate it. If you have any specific requests for the team, please feel free to reach out. support.melodics.com

Monthly fee has increased dramatically for very little new content.

I don’t have time to practice constantly and have no need of an annual plan. Since I last subscribed the stand-alone month by month fee has increased substantially. I assumed maybe a ton of new content or new features but it appears to be typical SaaS greed trying to get me to sign up for more and longer. I bought the premium version of koala sampler and all the packs for less than a single month of melodics.

Thanks for the honest feedback. Pricing is something we take seriously, and we understand monthly doesn't work for everyone. If you ever want to chat through your options, feel free to get in touch with our team.

Amazing

Im in middle school and I have had the app for 1 day and my band teacher is already congratulating me on improving so much

Response from developer

That's awesome to hear! Congrats and thanks for the review.

So much fun

I’m an absolute beginner. Been following tutorials on YT, reels etc and found it hard to mimic those things, and would struggle to keep myself entertained for more than half an hour. This app makes practicing much easier to stay engaged.

The only negative which has come about after paying for 1 year standard subscription is that there were some songs available. Now there are no songs at all, unless you pay for the premium subscription. Like why take all songs away?

How does the app provide feedback?

The app uses your iPhone's built-in microphone and smart audio technology to recognize your drum kit or practice pad. For electronic drum kits, it can connect via Bluetooth or wired options. It then provides immediate insights on every beat you play.

What kind of lessons and content are available?

Melodics offers over 500 drum lessons, including drum rudiments, grooves, fills, and drills. You can also learn to play a wide range of drum songs across genres like rock, pop, metal, and jazz. Practice tools like slowing down sections and looping are also available.

Is Melodics free to use?

The app is free to download and offers some free content. However, to access the full range of lessons, songs, and features, users will need to make in-app purchases or subscribe to a premium plan.

Who is Melodics for?

Melodics is designed for drummers of all skill levels, from beginners practicing on a pad to advanced players looking to refine their technique. It's also a valuable tool for drum teachers and students to supplement traditional learning methods.
