### 4/5 — Detroit loop is needed for Gospel music.

*2024-07-08, version 3.0.2*

I would give this app five stars if it had a Detroit type drum loop that would be useful for gospel, music or church other than that this totally reminds me of the Yamaha keyboard drum loop interface.

### 5/5 — This is „The“ App i was looking for !!!

*2023-12-03, version 3.0.2*

Please let me express all my congratulations for the idea and this wonderful Application. It is although so sad that it looks like has stoped to be developed 😢I would like to see an update version with the ability to load own loops, and a mixer for the different parts and at least but not last, a backup possibility for the work, because I already had a crash and the app stopped working than I had to do my whole songs from scratch again.
Thank you so much for your feedback.

### 4/5 — Percussion loops

*2023-05-07, version 3.0.2*

I love this app. A few things I wish if this app can be implemented to have more features for a drummer who want to turn on the percussion loop to play along on the live acoustic drum set on stage. 
1) if user can upload their own drum loop audio they create into this app 
2) if user can split to send the metronome click to the musicians only, and the percussion loop out to the front house speakers (similar to PRIME MULTITRACKS)
3) interact with the external trigger pedal for drummer to STOP / PLAY the loop from the foot pedal.

With these features, it would give musicians a great tool, light weight on ipad to bring along to their gig.

Thank you!

### 5/5 — Utilissima app anche per l’insegnamento

*2022-09-18, version 3.0.2*

Uso questa app per insegnare chitarra ritmica e per provare con i ragazzi. È favolosa 
Anche io mi auguro la possibilità di una connessione a pedale bluetooth per i break, l’ending , l’intro ecc

### 1/5 — Blocca L iPhone

*2021-08-29, version 3.0.2*

Sarebbe bella e unica  se non si impallasse e non facesse impallare il telefono per diversi minuti senza far in modo che si possa spegnere neanche forzatamente. iPhone Completamente bloccato !  Diverse volte che capita . La elimino e chiedo il rimborso ad Apple. consiglio di non scaricarla.

### 5/5 — Great app for practice / drummerless gigs!

*2021-07-04, version 3.0.2*

This app is so easy to use. Great for practice / drummerless gigs.

### 1/5 — Rip off? It certainly is.

*2021-06-17, version 3.0.2*

Was telling a friend about Metro D, was going to let him try it, but all data was either gone or doesn’t work any more. I’d have given it 5*, but only 1* for being sneaky. S.I.U.Y.A.

### 4/5 — Cool! Please add Auv3 support!

*2021-05-01, version 3.0.1*

It‘s a cool app to jam along and practise to. What would really make it dope would be integration into AUM and the like. Please add auv3 (or IAA at least). I‘d instantly rate it 5 Star! Also sequencing several beats to create a song would be very helpful.

Thanks to the developer.

May 1st: Please do describe changes in English! App Store tells me the app is going to track my location (why?) even when not used (WHY?)

### 1/5 — Not thought through

*2020-12-04, version 2.0*

Says it’s a free app then you have to purchase tokens to use it...sneaky. No instructional videos in English - all in Italian. 
Not a serious contender

### 5/5 — Great!

*2020-11-05, version 001*

Great little app. Super layout, simple to view and very easy to use. Lots of beats and variations. Good sounds. 

Great features like the Rit./Acc. buttons to easily speed up or slow down mid song little at a tiime with a simple tap on the screen. 

Even easy to view and use on small iphone screens like the original iPhone SE (5S style).

What more could you ask for? (Okay, there's always something more you could ask for, but Metrodrummer nails it down from the top!)

Big 5 Stars for sure! Thanks Dev! - great work.
