### 5/5 — Amazing

*2026-01-30, version 1.0.20*

I’ve pretty much downloaded all of the free metronomes. And this one still manages to stand out as unique.

### 5/5 — Would have payed £50

*2025-12-14, version 1.0.20*

Great app, absolutely nothing wrong with it, no idea why it’s not more popular!

### 5/5 — Der absolute Wahnsinn!!

*2025-12-04, version 1.0.18*

Das ist ungelogen die beste App der letzten Jahre!! Das Metronom kann quasi alles und der Rhythmusgenerator ist einzigartig! Ich nutze die App im Unterricht! Auch meine Schüler*innen sind absolut begeistert! Für 6,-€ ein Geschenk! Gigantisch!

### 5/5 — JP is the best drum instructor on the planet.

*2025-11-21*

JP has completely revitalized my love of playing the drums. He has helped me understand my instrument and my love for it in completely new ways. I’ve known how to PLAY music for quite awhile, but every day spent with JP has shown me that I still have so much more to learn. Consume everything this dude puts out and you will become a drummer. Not just someone who plays drums, but, A DRUMMER.

### 5/5 — La meilleure app pour s’entraîner

*2025-11-11, version 1.0.18*

L’app est très bien conçue, bcp de réglages sont possibles et adaptés pour bosser. Elle a été très bien conçue pour les batteurs. Bravo !

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2025-10-19*

I’m amazed how addictive this app can be. I am tempted to get a large monitor and position it in front of the drum kit for teaching. The only downside for me is reading while lines are progressing and having to go back to the top. I am reconciling it as ‘think of it as observing a repeat sign.’ The flexibility of the app is fantastic!

### 5/5 — Sight Reading

*2025-09-10*

I absolutely cannot believe how much I learned over the course of the 80 day summer reading challenge. Using rhythm bot I learned more in 80 days about how to read music than I did throughout all of my junior high school and high school years of studying and reading music. This tool is the most incredible and innovative developed method in learning how to effectively sight read very complex music in an extraordinarily short time!  Thanks, JP... you are truly a gift to the drumming community!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2025-08-31, version 1.0.17*

Very good training app, sound good and bot is interesting

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-08-13, version 1.0.15*

Fantastic range of options

### 5/5 — Super but one small thing

*2025-08-06*

The ability to play the metronome or the grooves or exercises in background while viewing material. It stops when switching to any other screen.

### 5/5 — Fun way to improve sight reading

*2025-07-18, version 1.0.15*

This app has been fun and functional.  Enjoying it a lot!

### 5/5 — Amazing app!

*2025-07-16*

This app is really great, especially when paired with the rhythm lessons from JP Bouvet’s website. It’s really good to tighten up your rhythmic reading skills, and has great options to highlight and emphasize your personal areas of challenge.

### 5/5 — Awesome metronome

*2025-07-16*

I’ve been using this app since the day it came out. I’ve been playing drums for a long time and never really got my reading of drum notation to this level. I look forward to using it every day. I’ve also started to transcribe the rhythms which is a whole other aspect of learning. I cannot recommend this app enough. And JP’s website is top notch learning. Don’t delay.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I needed!

*2025-07-10, version 1.0.15*

I have played classical, then jazz piano for 50 years.  Recently, I joined a big band and I need to sight read crazy rhythms at crazy tempos to keep up with the horns.  This ap focuses very specifically on reading and understanding rhythms (among other things).  Thank you.

### 5/5 — Amazing App

*2025-07-10*

For someone that really couldn’t read music. This app paired with the music reading course has been a game changer. I’m glad this app is also available with the challenges, gamifying learning and learning little by little. So thankful for this product!

### 5/5 — Very thoughtfully designed!

*2025-07-02*

I’m thoroughly impressed with the flexibility and depth of this app. Both students and professionals will find many applications for it, from stimulating creativity to sight reading practice. I’m hopeful that future updates will include triplets, tuplets and ties. I’d highly recommend this app to musicians on all instruments.

### 5/5 — Swing Feature

*2025-06-28*

This app is a wonderful metronome utility with a lot of really cool features. One of my favorite features is the swing continuum, which gives the user the ability to alter the amount of swing a rhythm has. As a drummer, I’ve found it so helpful when trying to capture the nuances of uneven eighth patterns like some traditional Samba feels or Dilla time.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-06-25*

Well spent money, this app is great, the guy behind it knows the business, I’m a huge fan. Everyday I find new ways to help my drumming routines.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 3/5 — Unfortunately the app didn’t work for me

*2025-10-04, version 1.0.18*

When I launch the app, I see a logo splash screen and then nothing else happens. 3 stars because the app was highly recommended by a trusted source. It’s a pitty I could not do anything other than look at the app’s logo.

### 3/5 — Good but…

*2025-08-15, version 1.0.16*

Excellent rhythm trainer and metronome. Really missing background audio though. Quite a basic feature

### 4/5 — Nearly perfect

*2025-06-20, version 1.0.13*

Excellent rhythm trainer and metronome. The only thing lacking is background audio!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-17*

Good app, could use some variation in the sounds of metronome you get, and maybe a cleanup on the UI for changing the tempo and other niche things. But all around very useful and more worth the money than any other metronome app out there, even using free it’s better than all other metronome apps that lock straight forward features behind paywalls. Like subdivisions etc. good game as well to play when bored to improve sight reading. Would appreciate  reading setting that is a voice, so you could count along

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-13, version 1.0.23*

JP is the man

### 5/5 — JP and the RB

*2026-06-29, version 1.0.23*

Best ever!

### 5/5 — Very good just some features I’d like to see implemented!

*2026-06-16, version 1.0.23*

I love the customisable metronome it’s by far the best out there I would just like to see the number of beats you can have increased e.g to allow an 11 metronome for practicing a night in Tunisia. Also I think the adding accents and removing beats feature isn’t working quite right on the metronome. Other than that the random beat generator thing is very good for practicing art of bop style comping and sight reading. This app is very much worth the price!

### 5/5 — Ted Reeds fuming rn

*2026-05-24*

This app, with premium (which is only a single payment of 5 bucks) pretty comfortably stumps every single one I’ve used or heard of. I used to use PolyNome before buying this, and though that app does a few things this doesn’t like creating custom rhythms and applying drumsets sounds to each note, and being able to change the metronome sounds (JP please add these), this has the necessities, and of course the random rhythm generator, which is stupid useful for anyone who needs to sightread or learn charts quickly. My only complaint is I feel stupid now for buying Syncopation. Great app.

### 5/5 — Useful training tool

*2026-05-22, version 1.0.23*

RhythmBot has an simple, intuitive interface. The random patterns make for great sight reading training.

### 5/5 — Game Changer

*2026-04-30*

This app and of course watching JP play have changed the game for me. I finally unlocked something that has been missing from my playing and this app made that happen. It’s all about the feel and inner clock.

### 5/5 — The perfect learning app.

*2026-04-27, version 1.0.22*

Amazing app. They keep making new updates to push the learning further. Great for site reading or general rhythm practice. Also has a great metronome interface. All round best app for any drummer.

### 5/5 — What an app!

*2026-03-31*

Thank you jp for making this app. It’s an incredible tool for drummers. Everything is so intuitive; you can play around with different rhythms; it has a sight reading and a practice feature; it generates grooves in different time signatures, and it has a metronome built in? Best thing under 5 bucks. Well worth your money

### 5/5 — Tap and learn!

*2026-01-31, version 1.0.20*

Best money spent on an app. Turns learning a difficult skill into playing a fun game.
