Really helps with rhythm learning. It’s just too basic. I wish it covered dotted rhythms and compound time sigs. Then it would be perfect! ### 4/5 — Excellent for teaching rhythm, sound quality could be a little better *2021-06-17* This app is great for teaching kids rhythm but the sound quality could be better ### 4/5 — Overall very good game *2021-05-03* First I would highly recommend this game. It is a lot of fun. I only give 4 stars because there isn’t a huge selection of rhythms or time signatures. (No 6/8 time and very few 3/4 time) Also 16th notes and ties would be great. This game is excellent for children. It would also be bomb if there were endless modes / endless practice modes or full songs. ### 3/5 — Fun, but keeps crashing *2020-08-23* I bought this to use with my piano students. The game portion of the app works great! However, the lessons keep crashing, and sometimes they don’t load correctly. Hopefully this can be fixed because I really want all my beginners to purchase this app. ### 3/5 — Great, but... *2020-07-15* My kids love this app. However, I’m not sure if it’s a problem with the app or something else, but I cannot get this app to share on family sharing. ### 3/5 — Crashing *2020-07-11* This app keeps crashing in Learn. That’s not right. I paid for it not to crash. ### 3/5 — Decent *2020-01-02* This is a well-organized app, it is cute & fun & good way for students to practice rhythms. However, I felt it was missing some key features: -the tempos can not be adjusted by the teacher & some of the tempos are really fast - there is no way to chart a student's progress like in other apps such as classroom maestro - it is definitely only for beginners because it doesn't go beyond 8th notes ### 4/5 — Great little app *2019-05-01* My kids love the application. However, like many others I agree that 16th notes would be great to have. I would also add that it would be great to have a coaching feature. Letting the kids know that they either played the note too long or short. With younger players they get confused on which direction they should go. ### 3/5 — Entertaining, but falls a bit short *2018-12-08* The app is very entertaining and addicting, which is great for young students. However, many of us have found tapping the notes to demonstrate rhythm is frustrating. Like piano maestro, I would much prefer the app hear me tapping on a drum or the lid of my piano. This would mimic more real-life application of rhythm. ### 5/5 — 讚👍 *2018-06-13, version 1.1.2* 相當不錯又有效的小遊戲，希望未來可以有更多關卡，例如16分之類的拍子來增加難度，這樣也很適合成人練習節奏。 ### 3/5 — Needs to go further *2018-06-07* The app is fun, very clear and kids really like it. They get involved trying to save the monkey, but does this really go only till eighth notes? I really think you should add triplets and sixteenth notes to be a complete rhythm basic app, maybe to unlock those levels after finish these ones, so kids get motivated to keep going. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App läuft falsch *2023-10-31* Zumindest auf IOS 17.1 läuft die App größtenteils falsch. Nur mit Viertel-Noten läuft sie richtig. Ob die App mit früheren IOS-Versionen ab IOS 10 richtig läuft, konnte ich nicht testen. ### 1/5 — Video resources don’t work *2020-12-16* It “downloads” but I only hear the audio and can’t see the actual video with the learning tips ### 1/5 — X *2020-07-09* Crashes as soon as you ‘touch’ a note! Waste of money! ### 1/5 — Crashes every time *2020-06-06* So disappointing!! App looks good in the preview but every time we download a lesson despite requesting the lessons store on the device and having ample storage, the app crashes out and returns us to the home screen. We’ve uninstalled, reinstalled, checked settings and updated the iOS to no avail. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2020-05-30* Can’t get the app to work and can’t find link for developer contact. (I’m a piano teacher.) ### 1/5 — Crashes *2019-11-05, version 1.1.2* Watching the lessons and it suddenly crashes and exits me out the app. Very disappointed. ### 2/5 — Game randomly crashes *2021-03-02* School games shouldn’t cost money and it crashes so much ### 2/5 — Accuracy is too strict *2015-11-21, version 1.1* Very fun rhythm game that I's like to play with my students. The quarter notes fall exactly on beat. The half, dotted halfs, and whole note are only counted as errors even though they are correctly touched on the beat. Doesn't matter which accuracy level is selected. Please fix! ### 3/5 — Good but.. *2023-09-16* The backing tracks are garbage and feel off from the metronome. ### 3/5 — Timing *2020-10-01* The app is okay but the sound from the note being tapped is just slightly slower than the metronome, which throws off my students. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Funktioniert nur mit Viertelnoten *2025-12-21* Leider so völlig unbrauchbar für den pädagogischen Musikunterricht und dürfte im App Store nicht angeboten werden. ### 5/5 — This is a great app for kids and teachers *2023-09-06* This is great for learning it’s very fun very very Anna gives you lessons it was worth the four dollars definitely ### 5/5 — Brilliant app for learning basic rhythms *2022-05-23* Fantastic app, which is loved by all my pupils. Would love more levels to be added though ### 5/5 — 非常棒的軟體 *2022-03-08, version 1.2* 希望有新的東西 教學上真的很有幫助 ### 5/5 — My students love this app !! *2020-11-18* All my students ask to do this every week !! It is such a fun way to reinforce rhythm! I would love if the developers would add sixteenth notes and more complex rhythms . ### 5/5 — Love it *2020-04-07* A fantastic app. I love using this in my teaching as a learning tool and “reward”. Good fun especially for younger musicians who are starting their musical journey!! ### 5/5 — 16th notes *2019-03-08* My student is begging for 16th notes. Any chance we will have these soon? ### 5/5 — Great app! *2019-01-12* I use it daily with my private piano students. They love it! Great work! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 ### 5/5 — Great for Teaching Piano *2018-10-23* This app has been a game changer in teaching my elementary piano students about rhythms!! Huge!! Now when they play a song, I say “think about the monkey!” And they immediately play with an even tempo. I also love this developers Flashnote Derby. A few requests/suggestions; Can you make this app like Flashnote where I can keep track of each students progress? Also - the kids seem to fear the monkey getting “eaten”. Although it does motivate them to try harder! Maybe take that fear out of the game. Thanks so much for a great tool in teaching piano! ### 5/5 — A student favorite! *2018-06-20, version 1.1.2* Love this app for all ages. Looking forward to android so all students can get it at home! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
