Outstanding

Love this App! Inexpensive and quality. Can’t wait to use the new ballet feature! Dial it up!

Must-have app if you are into djembe!

This is a powerful tool if you are serious about learning djembe. Only available on Apple devices, so I switched my android phone to an iPhone. That’s how much I enjoy using this app!

Joy!

So glad to have something to play along with and practice my djembe as it is hard to find a circle of enthusiasts!

Disappointed

I like the app but what I don’t like is the fact that you don’t get all the rhythms all at once. You only get ten rhythms and then you have to pay additional fees for each set of ten. I don’t recall seeing this information before purchasing, otherwise I might have declined.
Piti Piti Pa costs a dollar less and automatically includes SIXTY-TWO rhythms! No additional purchases...
However, I do like that Mo Rhythm includes the written notation...
Only three stars; mixed feelings but mostly disappointed in the overcharging for additional rhythms without informing the consumer beforehand...sorry

Solo phrases and other great features!

If you're serious about practicing djembe and dununs, I *highly* recommend the Mo’Rhythm app. I've had it for a while and just downloaded the new Advanced Rhythms, only to discover that they have added solo phrases, woo-hoo!! Other great features for the 30 rhythms are notations, option to repeat the signal, independent volume control for each part, metronome, and history. I have studied West African drumming for 2 years, and this app is a great compliment to live classes.

Nice program

Very nice program that is easy to use.

Unique and Amazing

This app designed by the brilliant Monette Marino is amazing. Feature rich and very useful for personal or group learning. Worth 3x the price. Highly recommended!

Perfect!

Perfect for teaching, practicing, and learning to add solos.

Great app!

Monette Marino, I love this app! With the ability to slow the tempo, mute other accompaniments, the list of notes, and metronome. Every thing we need. Thought of everything. Even links to video demos. Well done!

Cool, but won't transfer to new iPad

The app is great, but when I bought a new iPad I was asked to again for the intermediate files.

Excellent app! I'm a beginner so having a clear and simple app like this is great. You can easily adjust the volume of the other instruments, even turn them off if you wish to play alone. The videos are shot form a good angle so you can see the hand movements clearly. A really nice feature is being able to slow down the beats per minute, then you can increase it as you get better. The only improvement I would suggest would be to have the option to purchase all the videos all at once instead of one at time. Overall a fun and useful piece of software!

What a great app!

I am thrilled with how simple this app is to use and how much easier it makes the parts understandable. I recommend this to anyone interested in studying Djembe and Dunun.

Excellent

If you want to learn how to play djembe, this is the PERFECT APP TO DO JUST THAT!
I love it👀🎶😀

Great App

I loved the simplicity, audio clarity, and design... Recommend that you allow 2 or more parts to play together and that the historical content be fully accessible.

5 stars!!!

Very cool app!!!! Great job!!! Great tech companion for Drummers.

Great djembe app!

The incredible Monette Marino's djembe app, MoRhythm, is great for all students of djembe! You can parse drum parts (even dunun bell parts) to hear exactly what combination of things you want.

Fantastic app, highly recommended

I've been playing djembe for about 10 years and wish I'd had this app when I first started! This is a lovely little app, and a really good learning tool. Brilliant for learning the ten rhythms included in the app and fantastic practice play-along material. Each drum part can be quickly heard on its own at one touch and back to the ensemble at another touch, or you can turn on/off the parts you want to hear so you can choose how you practise best. As an experienced player I still use the app for play along material so I can practise soloing at varying speeds and with different rhythms. Notation is also there in two different formats as well as a bit of info about each rhythm. Videos are available as in-app purchases which would be very useful for players who need help with handing, and at 79p per video it's such good value. All in all, a sleek well-thought out app that every beginner djembe player should definitely buy, and one that more experienced players can still get so much out of,and all for a very reasonable price.

Nice app!!

I have two app for djembe. This one doesn't have tab, so you need to listen and learn by ear. But sound is much better than another app which has tab. I hope this app increase more song collection & tab.

Wish it worked

I just downloaded this app. I think it has great potential if it worked. It does not work with my new iPhone 6s. I got it to come on a couple times but only when it feels like it not when I want it to. Very frustrating. I would like a refund or some assistance.

Further help needed

In principle this should be a good app. There is much that is to applauded: the attempt to provide videos, being able to solo any instrument or any combination of instruments, the provision of various forms of notation. However in two areas improvement is needed. The videos take up to much memory: I stopped downloading after finding that the size of videos for just own rhythm was approx 200 mb. My impression is that by careful choice of video format and size smaller videos would be possible; there are plenty of examples of smaller but excellent videos on YouTube. Moreover, I found the videos a little difficult to follow: it may be the angle from which the video is taken or the speed of playing. I find the YouTube videos of Michael de Miranda much better as a teaching aid. A second area where improvement could be made is in the notation section. Some detailed explanation of the details of the notation would be helpful.
