### 5/5 — App is great! But…

*2022-12-23, version 2.0.3*

The app works most of the time but if I close it and reopen it and stop a rhythm it glitches and nothing can be heard. Idk why it does this but I hope they fix it soon.

### 5/5 — This is dope

*2021-09-10, version 2.0.3*

This app is pretty good app.The music sounds a little bit more lively than some of the other apps.Only bug I see is that for some reason on the rhythm Konden,the break keeps repeating every 4 bars and does not allow the rhythm to play,other than that you have good app here.Please continue to improve and add more rhythms pleeeeeeeease

### 1/5 — Crashes after turning iPad back on

*2020-02-05, version 2.0.3*

Seemed to work ok until I upgraded to iOS 13.3 (latest version) now I have to delete it and reload it from the cloud to get it to work again. Other than that it’s a great app and I would give it a 4 star. If it showed notation on another screen a 5.

### 5/5 — Best djembe app on the market

*2019-07-10, version 2.0.3*

The sounds are real samples so it sounds natural. You can change the speed and adjust a lot of settings to get exactly what you need to practice! Great tool for teachers too.
