Rhythmic dictation trainer User Reviews

Top reviews

Assez bien pour une utilisation à l’école

Merci tres bien

Super appli

Fluide et facile de prise en main

Excellent Rhythm Trainer

I love this rhythm trainer. The only suggestion I would make is to provide monotone sound like is used in the app "Beatly"

Imagine utiliser cette application

Cette application ne marche absolument pas, paye pas 7$ pour ça

So frustrating

This app is a waste of money. Dragging notes doesn’t always work and it would be much easier to just tap on the patterns I want. I hate having to carefully try to drag a note, drop it in the right spot, and have nothing happen. I can’t even select a time signature. Ugh.

Response from developer

Hi Videlia. It is the first complaint we get about any trouble dragging & dropping notes. We will definitely add it to the to-do list if we get more users mentioning it. We could, for example, add tapping the note, then its destination, as an alternate way of moving the elements. As for the time signature, it can be selected on the Options page. We are sorry that the app wasn’t useful to you, but we thank you for taking the time to give us your feedback. It is how we get better, as many of the improvements the app saw over the years came from user experience and suggestions.

Really annoying

Cant add or remove notes while listening. Very basic note values. 🤦‍♂️

Response from developer

Hi Noah. The fact that you can't add or remove notes while listening to the melody is actually a request from the music education specialists consulted in the development of this application. The goal is for the student to get better at interiorizing the melody, not at rushing to fill the staff before the next rhythmic element is played. Rhythmic dictation enhances concentration, memory, and attentive listening, and being able to write the melody as it plays would hinder the development of these abilities. Regarding the note values, a picture showing all 33 available rhythmic elements is shown on the application's page on the App Store, before you buy. We are sorry that these weren't enough for you. More are added over time as requests from users are received. We would be glad to hear your suggestions. You can contact us via the application's page on the App Store.

Didn’t work. Couldn’t figure it out don’t waste your money deleted it within 10 minutes

Deleted in 10 minutes. Luckily I didn’t waste too much

When I tried to get a refund they refused

Response from developer

Hi DrLou, When you tap the "Play" button, a melody is played (make sure your volume is turned up). Your goal is then to drag the various rhythmic elements (quarter note, half note, triplet, etc) on the lines, in the right order, to match the song that was played. Tapping the "Verify" button will check your answer to tell you how you did, and offer help if you made a mistake somewhere. Basically, aside from many customization options, that's all there is to it. The tutorial included into the application may help by guiding you through your first melody. In spite of the application's low cost, it is always frustrating to spend money and not get what you expect. As a developer, you never want one of your users to feel that way. I'm really here to help. In our support email exchanges, you never said what was wrong. My offer to guide you through the app, step by step, is still valid, and I hope you write back, explaining at what point of the process (playing the song? moving the rhythmic elements? verifying your answer?) you need help. I'll be there to help you. Note that as I said in our email exchanges, I cannot, as the developer, issue you a refund since the transaction isn't between us, it is between Apple and you. You have to ask Apple for the refund: look into the Apple Support pages, to which I gave you a direct "Request a refund" link by email.

Good and accurate

Good app to test your skills identifying rhythm. It would be more challenging if it also tested your ability to identify intervals, aka if the dictation tested not just rhythmic values but also notes. A grading system would be good to measure one’s progress. Overall it’s a useful app though.

Mode d’emploi svp

Je ne comprends pas comment ça marche ? J écoute la mélodie et j appuie sur les notes mais il ne se passe rien

Response from developer

Bonjour Yo, Vous avez raison, appuyer sur les notes ne fait rien!, simplement parce qu’il suffit de les glisser sur la portée. Appuyez sur une note, puis amenez-la à l’endroit désiré sur la portée. Écrivez-nous si vous avez besoin de plus de renseignements. L’adresse courriel pour ce faire peut être obtenue à partir de la page de l’application sur le App Store.

Great app for rhythmic dictation

I found this app after I bought one that didn’t work. This app does every I need. I can set the time signature, the number of measures, the note values, rests, etc. Thank you for this app!

Non abouti. Ne devrait pas être payant dans cette version.

Impossible de choisir le 6/8, rythme limité à la noire, et à 4 mesures. 4 mesures, ce n’est pas pour les musiciens avancés. Je veux être remboursée car au bout de 5 min, je vois bien que cela ne me convient pas, les fonctions sont trop limitées, mais aucune possibilité de contacter le développeur !!!

Response from developer

Bonjour sea_reine. En effet, au total, l'application offre la possibilité d'avoir 2, 3 ou 4 mesures, chacune d'une durée équivalente à 2, 3 ou 4 noires. Nous nous assurerons de clarifier ce point dans la description du produit lors de la prochaine mise à jour. D'ici là, je vous invite à nous contacter directement, en passant par la page de l'application sur le App Store, qui offre un lien direct permettant d'obtenir un soutien personnalisé.

Très bien mais a améliorer

Coolitude de la mort qui tue

Really helps

Second-year college student taking rhythmic dictation. This app really helps. It’s exactly what we’re doing in class but I can practice for hours instead of the maybe 10 examples we do during the period.

Super et réponses efficace du développeur

Bon outils pour travailler la dictée. La nouvelle mise à jour viens rendre l'outils encore plus signifiant pour une utilisation en classe. Très efficace avec mes élèves du secondaire.
