Nice App But…

Rhythm Sight Reading Trainer app does not allow you to review a recent practice exercise unless you save it in favorites. It would be nice to be able to press the left arrow in practice mode, in case you wanted to go back to a Previous exercise.

Yeah, my personal app of the year

vor 4 wochen "erst" entdeckt, und schon ist es Teil meines Alltags. noch habe ich sicher nicht alle Tiefen der features entdeckt - aber jetzt schon ein Potpourri an Möglichkeiten , mit direktem Feedback, mein Timing zu üben.
Beim Benutzen fallen mir tatsächlich noch ein paar nice-to-haves ein, ab erstens habe ich sie vielleicht noch nicht entdeckt oder zweitens: man braucht auch nicht immer 110%. ich bin mit den 100%***** total zufrieden. Danke.

Best Rhythm Reading App EVER

Words do not describe how thankful I am for this app. I’ve struggled a lot with sight reading, especially rhythms, and practicing through this app has been insanely helpful in strengthening this skill. It functions incredibly well and has so many features. The only thing I hope will be added in the future is a way to practice on headphones, but I understand if that’s difficult due to the inherent delay when using headphones. Regardless, this app is a literal dream!!! I’ve been using it for many years now and can attest that it is absolutely worth it.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m thrilled to hear how much the app has helped you strengthen your rhythm-reading skills. Regarding the headphone delay, you can avoid that issue by using wired headphones—many users have had success with Apple’s wired EarPods. Because they don’t introduce the same latency as wireless options, the app will recognize them and deliver a seamless experience.

Brilliant

I use this with the Apple Pencil and I couldn’t ask for more from an app. Thank you so much. You’ve really nailed this.

Works great the iRig HDX

Excellent to practice rhythm guitar with the iRig HDX

By far the best app!

This is such a wonderful app. I am a professional musician and music teacher and I am so impressed with this app. It is designed with the user in mind, and I love the fact that I can also customize the measures to reflect rhythms that I wish to practice more.

Congratulations to the team that as developed this app!

Fantastic app!

This is such a great app for helping with rhythm. I’ve only been using it ten mins and I’m already improving!!

Love this app!

I love this app. I suggest it for all my piano students. I use it to practice rhythms for myself too.
I love that you can use challenge mode to increase tempos.
Just one suggestion. Make the tapping pad a little bigger. Sometimes I’d like to use two fingers, and it’s almost impossible because of the size if the pad.

Response from developer

Thank you for your review. We're glad to hear you love our app! In the Tapping menu, there's an option to use two tapping buttons. These buttons are strategically positioned to facilitate tapping with alternating fingers in portrait mode or with two alternating hands in landscape mode. We hope this feature enhances your experience. Thank you for your feedback!

Hi - why are time signatures only in even? Am I missing something or is the app really so limited?

Response from developer

The app supports several odd time signatures, including: 5/4, 5/8, 6/4, 7/4, and 7/8. Additionally, different subdivisions are available for these odd time signatures, such as 2 + 3 and 3 + 2 for 5/4, 5/8 and 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 for 7/4, 7/8. The complete list of supported time signatures includes: 2/2, 3/2, 4/2, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/4, 7/4, 3/8, 5/8, 6/8, 7/8, 9/8, and 12/8. Please explore both the fixed exercises and random levels to experience all of these time signatures. We hope this information helps you.

Great Little App

Experienced musicians can see a rhythmically complex piece of music and just tap it out without much trouble before playing it. Me? I’m not in that group. I need to go over a piece many times before I can play it. I reduce the time I need between first seeing the music and finally playing the notes by practicing with Read Rhythm. I enter the notes into the editor and practice until the rhythm is familiar to me. I have a habit of being a little ahead of the beat in my playing, and can work on that in the app, since it tells you if you are ahead, on, or behind the beat. When I’m done working on a section, I email the results to my music teacher, so we can go over it in lesson. In all, this is a great app for perfecting your rhythm, either through random exercises or by creating your own.

I should also add that I had a question at one point about the editor, and the developer answered me very promptly to tell me what I was doing wrong. Not many apps have that kind of service, and I was very glad for the help.

Amazing

I love this app. I play it everyday

Best rhythm sight reading app.

Just take my word for it and purchase the app. I'm constantly finding new features that I didn't even know I wanted.

strict!

Improves your accuracy
Its not easy and you don't want that anyway . You can make adjustments to see and hear downbeat, accented beat, all beats, metronome only
in other words about everything

Additionally :superlative service. I got lost in the weeds and Rolf stayed with it until I was sure I got it.
No developer, in my experience, is this responsive and patient with a old guy.
Go get it if you want to know if your skills aren't quite what you thought, or just drill 'till you drop.

Thanks Rolf

And Free

This thing is the latest miracle in my life. Never progressed far enough in my formal training to get good at reading, always felt like math class. Suddenly I’m in a JC concert band and in deep trouble. This is going to save me. The ability to edit your own rhythms allows to create those 2 measures that eluding you and repeat them until you hear them in your dreams. Thanks so much to developers of this amazing tool!

Very helpful

I played snare drum all through middle and high school. And that was *cough* years ago and I was good at reading music again but this app has helped me learn a lot of it all over again especially the notes that were always tricky. I like how there are multiple levels and modifications.

Adult learner, Love it

I started reading music in my 50s, and rhythm was my biggest struggle. Here are some reasons for my 5-star review:
1. Intuitive interface: Easy to figure out, even if you’re a techno-dumdum.
2. Customizable: You can practice what you want and hear sounds you find pleasant.
3. Reinforcing: Easily understood color feedback and small (not irritatingly long) celebration for accuracy.
4. One-time purchase! (Not a bleed you to death subscription.)
Thanks for making this great app!

Great potential but…

The MIDI support is unreliable and the user interface borders on unusable.

this is an amazing app 😀

This is a really good app, it helps u with rhythm and beat and it’s great practice for when u are away from the piano

Best rhythm app I have come across

Excellent app with many levels and settings so that it’s a great tool for beginners as well as advanced musicians. Very customizable, every imaginable meter is in there, you can also customize whether to include slurs, rests, etc. Can’t recommend it enough!! The developer shows a real dedication to designing the most comprehensive tool.

Just What I Need

I’ve had this less than 5 minutes. It’s perfect. I haven’t read music in a very long time. I want to practice. Now I can. I want to compose in complex time signatures. I can feel what I want to write but have trouble finding the right time signature. I’ve had to use noteflight by trial and error. Did I mention this is just what I wanted?
