You do not need to be a "Musician" to make beautiful and interesting music with it, and in this way it encourages us all to partake in the joy of making music from the shapes and patterns that live all around us. It also teaches us important basics of how music works, but without "instruction"-- purely through play and experimentation. Great for all people. ### 5/5 — Awesome way to experiment *2017-07-16, version 1.0.5* This app is great. I like figuring out the rhythms on paper and then trying them out with the app. It's good how it can adjust tempo for each cycle if they have different amount of beats. It would also be interesting to keep all cycles the same tempo so that they get off track with each other. ### 5/5 — Great fun *2017-01-18, version 1.0.5* I lose all sense of time when I am playing with this thing. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Inspiring app *2016-11-26, version 1.0.5* Not yer grandpappy's sequencer. Thankfully. ### 5/5 — おもしろい *2016-11-23* 適当に打ち込んで遊んでいてもポリリズムの勉強になったりします。とても素敵なアプリです。ありがとう。 ### 5/5 — So inspired *2016-02-12, version 1.0.5* I love this app. It is fun and easy to use. I find it so useful for coming up with seeds for future song development. I don't often have large blocks of time to dedicate to making music and this makes it so easy to grab those brief moments I do have and make the most of them. I use it with its own sounds. I also use it for its midi capabilities. It has inspired. ### 5/5 — excellent addition to one's toolkit *2016-02-01, version 1.0.5* When immersed in a composing project, I find Necklace to be a wonderful scratchpad for helping capture and refine my odd-meter earworms. ### 5/5 — Great sequencer. *2015-08-08* Now updated with background operation, which makes it much more flexible and useable. This really is a unique midi tool and well worth investigating if you have any interest at all in sequencers. Excellent UI and great for the novice and initiated. ### 5/5 — This update broke saves *2015-08-08, version 1.0.5* As I have gone in and updated some beats, they are replaced with and crash the app when I try to open them. Most of my work is gone now ### 5/5 — Otherbirds *2015-08-05, version 1.0.4* The excitement I felt upon discovering this app was beyond measure - As I've learned so much from Sam via his many amazing MaxMsp tutorials. It's a wonderful concept - a twisted Euclidean sequencer with many unique features. Amazing stuff - just as I would have expected from a fellow who has claimed (via his videos) to be my "best friend". Thank you, Sam! Hope to see many more apps in the future! ### 5/5 — endless joy *2015-06-13, version 1.0.4* elegant and beautiful, with enough depth to keep me coming back. love this app. bravo! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work with headphones *2025-03-08, version 1.0.5* This app only works from my iPhone speaker. It will not work with wired or Bluetooth headphones as far as I can tell. I wrote customer service and never got a response. Disappointed ### 1/5 — Broken Functionality! *2022-12-01, version 1.0.5* The mail functionality is broken and there isn’t an option to save/export a MIDI file to your file system. I tried my iPhone 13 with iOS 16.1.1 and an old iPad mini 2 with iOS 12.5.6. The app itself is fantastic aside from not being able to use the fruits of your labor. I really hope the original developer addresses these shortcomings or passes the app on to someone that can. ### 1/5 — Kills your battery *2018-06-20, version 1.0.5* Used 65% of my battery today running I. The background. ### 3/5 — Não funciona em fones de ouvido *2025-02-14* Só isso. Parece q desativa algo q não descobri como resolver ### 3/5 — cannot export *2020-10-12, version 1.0.5* the emailing function doesn’t work unfortunately ### 3/5 — 音色太少 *2015-06-21* 音序功能做得还好，简洁直观 但是音色太少了 而且只有四个轨道位置 即便是做节奏也只能得到有限的层次和变化 对不起这个价格 ### 3/5 — Please add IAA *2015-05-07, version 1.0.4* Cool app, needs Inter-app audio badly. ### 4/5 — 操作方法がいろいろ *2023-05-02* リズムで遊べる項目がたくさんあってチュートリアルもあるので割とすぐ慣れた ### 4/5 — Great but no Bluetooth *2023-04-29, version 1.0.5* You’ll have a lot of fun on this, it’s worth the 3 quid even jus for a tap around when you want but - why can’t it output the audio to earphones or speakers on Bluetooth! ### 4/5 — 很酷的软件，但是价格偏高 *2015-05-31* 内置的几种音效并不能满足大多数人的需求，希望以后更新中能有所改善，其次是价格颇高，如果能调低价格，那样会更好。 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Always solid *2026-02-25, version 1.0.5* I keep coming back tot his app for a fun musical playtime. I’m happy it’s been kept up to date by the devs who made it during a storm of similarly fun and creative apps and are in the rare group of folks who keep it updated ### 5/5 — Shouldn’t have slept on this one *2025-12-14* Being able to choose different midi channels for the 4 tracks is great - but it’s the transform options that bring the magic. ### 5/5 — A kit for all seasons *2025-03-14, version 1.0.5* I have played hand drums for more than 50 years and have been looking for a graphic rhythm tool. It would be nice to see the instruments in concentric rings but maybe the next release (beggars/choosers). Great work, thanks!! ### 5/5 — Super for learning about rhythm *2024-10-17, version 1.0.5* I am not a musician, although I love rhythm. Also, I am a visual learner so this is an excellent tool for teaching oneself about rhythm. ### 5/5 — Try it! You will not be disappointed! *2022-12-04, version 1.0.5* This app provides a marvelously innovative approach to understanding and creating rhythmic patterns. It has profoundly changed how I think about music. It’s hard to overstate the value and simplicity of the insights the app provides using these rotationally symmetric patterns. It takes a little mind bending to wrap your brain around the possibilities, but it has now become an essential tool for me. Bravo to the creators!! ### 5/5 — brilliant *2021-03-28, version 1.0.5* Intuitive and flexible // balance and chaos are always a step away // you’ll find poly rhythms forever // I only wish I had found this sooner ### 5/5 — Its a very fun drum machine! *2021-02-19, version 1.0.5* love using this app to come up with weird wonky rhythms. its really good for laid back swung type grooves ### 5/5 — Amazing *2020-05-11, version 1.0.5* An intuitive and fun way to map out complex rhythms. Controls and settings are easy to use and very effective. I think this is the coolest way to create a visual of beats that make up rhythms and grooves ### 5/5 — Great Practice Tool *2020-01-20, version 1.0.5* Rhythm Necklace is a easy and elegant way to make odd meter and polyrhythmic practice grooves. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — Necklace Rhythm app *2019-06-03, version 1.0.5* As a companion to this app, I would recommend: “The Geometry of Musical Rhythm” by Godfried Toussaint, CRC Press. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
