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.
