### 2/5 — Good but…

*2026-03-19, version 2025.1*

When using on Mac, the window is fixed too big and you can’t easily access the controls at the bottom as they ‘hide’ behind the dock - needs a simple fix! The it would be much better.

### 1/5 — Başlık görünsün

*2026-03-10, version 2025.1*

Sakın indirmeyin berbat

### 1/5 — Thanks but no thanks!

*2025-10-29, version 2025.1*

This app is definitely not for latin percussion aficionados or professionals; enthusiasts and beginners will be satisfied though. The app is just too basic and does not capture the true variety of sounds that can be played in congas for example. It lacks so much. It sounds robotic.

### 1/5 — Thanks but no thanks!

*2025-10-22, version 2025.1*

This app is definitely not for latin percussion aficionados or professionals; enthusiasts and beginners will be satisfied though. The app is just too basic and does not capture the true variety of sounds that can be played in congas for example. No wonder the developers do not provide free sample sounds of instruments before the user pays the $3 to download the app. I do not recommend this app this. It lacks so much. It sounds robotic.

### 2/5 — Was good until it stopped working

*2025-09-17, version 2025.1*

Was a good app but doesn’t play any think

### 5/5 — Fab app !

*2025-04-23, version 2024.1*

Love this for practicing congas and timbales. Love how you can pick from so many rhythms.

### 5/5 — Озвучку хочется изменить

*2025-03-17, version 2024.1*

Или добавить русский или добавить возможность записать голос для каждого счета самостоятельно.

### 5/5 — Útil

*2025-02-22, version 2024.1*

Buena aplicación útil para la docencia y la práctica solo que no permite cambiar de idioma como indica. Solo está en conteo en inglés.

### 5/5 — Rights to Use in Online Classes

*2024-12-10, version 2024.1*

The app is very good. We’ve used it in classes and with students multiple times! And I have also hear some of our peers love to use it as well! Question: We are wondering if it is allowable to use on online dance lessons we will be selling soon. Please let us know or how we can discuss an agreement to use the app for our online classes.

### 5/5 — Salsa Rhthym

*2024-12-06, version 2024.1*
